Every self-employed person should have three or so income streams. You can put the lions share of your effort into whichever one is performing the best. When there are slow times with your primary stream, you can seed spare time into the #2 and #3.

Yes, I totally enjoy watching your videos whenever you get them loaded. They're a treat to watch, and I love your hand-painted wispy design wherever you decide it works. It's lovely. I was surprised you hadn't ever heard votive to describe very small, short candles (like tea lights only slightly larger) and any small, short holders for them, but no worries - just think of votive as rhyming with "motive" - it's that simple. Just another term to add to your decor vocabulary.
@gretchendemasi7682 жыл бұрын
Votive? As in a little candle votive. But then later in the same video you knew exactly what the covered basket wine jug thing was called. That was hilarious. Stop being a perfectionist, we love all your videos whenever the come out. Don’t stress you are pretty for that!

"It's VOTIVE Amanda" 🤣🤣 Anyhow... today wasn't a bad video at all‼️ I love tagging along no matter what you are doing.

Votive candles are used in churches before saints' pictures, crosses, on altars. They are lit before you offer up prayers. Pronounced super easy: vo.tiv. Most Catholics would know the word as they are part of The stuff in Catholic churches.☺
