I thoroughly enjoyed the first course and I'm equally loving this one. I'm learning a lot and I especially appreciate the PDF section which contains a ton of information. It's great that I can access the videos and PDFs for as long as I want. The instructions are very clear and I recently tried making my first batch of lavender soap, which turned out well. Detailed information on the techniques was very helpful. Thank you.

I am from South Africa. I cannot complete her courses because I dont have access to a computer. I did the courses in April and it is 98% and 97% completed on my phone. I won't buy any of her it's a waste of money. I bought 11 and completed it all. No other tutors need you to use a computer to complete a course

I recently completed the soap making course, and it truly deserves a 5-star rating for its comprehensive coverage of soap making techniques, diverse molds, and a detailed exploration of oils and fragrances. The exploration of different oils used in soap making was incredibly insightful. Learning about the properties of oils like coconut, olive, and shea butter empowered me to create soaps tailored to specific skin needs. I particularly loved the section on soap molds. The course delves into various types, including silicone, wooden, and plastic molds. The detailed explanations and hands-on demonstrations made it easy for me to choose the right mold for different soap designs.

I am anxious to try some of these techniques. I had only used clays for colors. I will be expanding my color palate. I was glad to learn what titanium dioxide was for as I have been using a lot of olive oil, and wondered how I was going to achieve white.
