OMG! Keep the metric! I'm a born and bred US citizen here, but I use metric for soap and cosmetics. This is chemistry, after all. Be exact. I may cook with ounces and cups, but I make product in metric. I wouldn't imagine anyone would bully you here to give up grams, but you can rest assured that some of us respect the metric system and join you in solidarity in using it! 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

I've been watching your vlogmas videos daily, it's lovely getting on to see them. Also really appreciate you always being real, showing when things get messy or don't go quite as you planned. For me, at least, that's kind of a nice reminder that not everything has to go perfectly on the first try, there's failure but failure isn't the be-all, end-all. It's a stepping stone, a learning experience. I haven't ever actually been able to make a successful bath bomb that I didn't have to just make work because it didn't want to, so maybe one of your recipes will be the ticket!

I have been watching your vlogmass since last year. I always get so involved in your videos that I forget to comment. 🙈I am a cosmetic formulator getting a chemistry degree. I don't sell physical products, I do custom formulations and blog. An underrated topic is copyrighting. Not the legal on but the marketing copy. I took an introduction to marketing course that gave me the basics. There is a ton of free marketing textbooks online and they are not crazy dense. You have the best mindset for longevity.

If you want to shift it to a higher gear is Get Rich Lucky Bitch and Lucky Bitch Success! by Denise Duffield Thomas but I gave you a list last time. Money Master the Game is a Game Changer.

Just a suggestion that you move to making larger batches of base using a stock pot. I make 11 to 22 pounds at a time and store in Dollor Tree containers. It's more efficient and a huge time saver... working smarter not harder.
