I have officially quit making soap making YouTube videos. I've been on YT since 2018, and it's been very difficult to keep up with the oversaturation in the soap making space. I had a Kickstarter for a soap making journal that failed horribly, and I can't seem to get a leg up anywhere even if I love making soap.

So, I've been redirecting my focus to writing and publishing for now.

The website is still up, and will remain up. I'm still going to make soap, so I might post something new there from time to time.

However, I will not be marketing it or putting extra energy behind it for now.
