  3. I'm Serenity Autumn, currently living in Texas city, USA. I am a widow at the moment with Four kids and i was stuck in a financial situation in May 2019 and i needed to refinance and pay my bills. I tried seeking loans from various loan firms both private and corporate but never with success, and most banks declined my credit. But as God would have it, I was introduced to a woman of God a private loan lender who gave me a loan of 850,000.00 USD and today am a business owner and my kids are doing well at the moment, if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan without collateral , no credit check, no co signer with just 2% interest rate and better repayment plans and schedule, please contact Mrs Mr Bejamin Lee On Email 247officedept@gmail.com   And Whats-App +1-989-394-3740. He doesn't know that am doing this but am so happy now and i decided to let people know more about him and also i want God to bless him more.

  5. Ma'am, I love medieval soap! So far, I've make two batches after failing 6 times. I sought for your advice by leaving some comments in your Far Mountain channel, but you didn't reply, maybe you are too busy, I guess. I've no one to ask, only you, ma'am. My first batch was all olive oil. The finished soap was firm, but not hard, like yours, in your video. There is a film of oil outside the soap. I thought it was oil, but when i wash my hands, it wasn't oily at all and cleanses real well.
    My second batch consisted of cocoa butter, rice bran oil and castor oil. This batch, there was a thick layer of oil floating when I mould my batter. I used cotton and tissue paper to absorb the excessive oil, and it worked. Again, ma'am, this batch also firm but not hard. All two batches don't dry up like yours in your video.
    Ma'am, please, please advice, please teach me! I really have nobody else. I really like medieval because it's 100% natural, because even lye the natural, which we can't claim for nowadays' bar soap with NaOH and liquid soap with KOH.
    I look forward to your help and guide very much! Thank you!
