Will send something is not candles next time (no need for shout out) . ~Ebonaiti

[@TenayeOdome]

Can you make a Pros and cons of selling on different platforms like Etsy, Shopify and Wholesale ( Faire) I have a shopify store but also considering Etsy and Fair because I'm finding that I don't have as much time to market on my own to bring in traffic. I would love your perspective. thanks for the video :)

[@StephCordero]

[@leonormarrero162]

[@dianamanuel728]

Monica ❤❤ happy to see you happy. I love the fact that now we are gonna have more videos!! Have you ever thought about teaching how to make candles? I would pay for it!

[@BirchKnots]

Hi Monica, this comment is here just for you impostor syndrome: you motivate me sooooo much! Please never stop doing what you do, being it your small business or talk about it!!

[@Ninjianni]

Honestly so glad I found your channel, you are so motivating by keeping it real and sharing your day. Love being here and I cannot wait to see the rest of your journey

[@alyssanash3248]

Omg. I'm literally wanting to make book sleeves and cover protectors for my shop!! I love how relevant your videos are to even my own life!

[@meac4870]

Omggg yeass❤❤❤😊

[@Cowandhenvintage]

I love watching this channel and I kept thinking you seem soooo familiar and then it dawned on me you use to do a channel about being a data analyst I think ?🤔 if that was you I used to enjoy that channel because I was so interested in data analytics but crafting and creating is my jam so cheers 🥂 to you for choosing this amazing lifestyle!!! You are very inspiring 😀 love your channel!!! Keep sharing 🥰 - Shannon

[@elizabethm8610]

0:34 love love your mug❤ Your content keeps on giving🔥👑

[@jesicaLD]

Love all of the tips, as I start looking toward the future of my own small business!

[@monicarazak]

what are some thing that keep you creatively motivated as a small business owner?? 🤗✨🤍

[@tilliea1011]

Right now I'm thinking of ways to use all my offcuts, I'm thinking of making a padded laptop sleeve ❤ trying to find ways to use up the scraps

[@lindarichey4689]

@@tilliea1011I personally love making scrap quilts. It’s just scraps sewn on a strip of muslin then piece the strips into an entire quilt

[@nashelll73]

When I need a boost I love to browse fabric crafty stores ❤❤❤

[@judahsfun7263]

You’re such a great source of inspiration! 🙏!!!

[@SewFelicia]

❤❤ it’s great you made time to make a project for you. I make a lot of things for others and then start feeling frustrated and tired. Then I made time to make me something I’ve been wanting to in ages and feel good that I did something for me. Never really thought about it until I started watching this video and got the ‘ah ha’ moment. I need to make time for more projects for me. It’s all balance right? ❤❤

[@monicarazak]

yesss it feels so good to take a break and remember to create things for ourselves!

[@SewFelicia]

Decided to make time for me to chill this morning ❤❤

[@monicarazak]

Love this!!

[@trperrymakes]

This is such great content!! I've been following you a few years and am so excited for your new chapter! Question for you from a crocheter, would you ever consider learning how to crochet? I think it would work so well with your products 🤩

[@monicarazak]

YESSS it's been at the top of my crafty hobbies bucketlist to learn how to crochet! Can't wait to finally try it hopefully this winter!

[@trperrymakes]

OMG amazing!! 😊

[@MariaGutierrez-y3e]

Hello, I love your videos. they have inspired me to keep going with starting my small business. Thank you

[@MemoryHereAndThere]

You seem to be speaking superrrr fast in this video and the previous one waaay more than any other video! 🙈 it feels like you’re speeding your voiceover ? Loving your videos as usual! 💕 But, really hoping you take that into consideration as it takes away from the qualities of your videos that I binged watched normally with no problem like that before. 🌻

[@ChantelleArts]

gal HOW are you getting so many videos out so quickly?? 😮 I am struggling so much with twice a week 😭

[@monicarazak]

haha literally not sure I think I'm just so excited to be doing this full time so I'm very go-go-go at the moment😅

[@bravezoom]

My favorites thing to do is organize .Collab change the video just wondering ..? Have a wonderful day of fun vibe in your journey.

[@michelejarrell4851]

Can you share what pens you use on your pouches? Where you get them from?

[@lyndseytopham1177]

Love the videos!! 🩷🩵🤍

[@valeriascenes]

Monica!!! What's the matcha brand you're using?? It looks super GREEN!!! Love!

[@monicarazak]

I switch brands a lot but the one in this video is jade leaf brand on Amazon! I just linked it on my amazon storefront:)

[@michelleburt4198]

I used enamel pins as push pins on my corkboard 🙂

[@monicarazak]

SUCH A GOOD IDEA

[@yohenacuevas1006]

Love your channel recently found you! I was wondering how did you know you were ready to start selling your candles?

[@monicarazak]

I made my first candle in 2019 and then immediately posted a picture of it on IG to sell it to my friends/family!! The best thing to do is to just take the leap and go for it and get better as you go.

[@akamnonuifunanya3678]

I love ur channel ❤

[@monicarazak]

thank youuuu🥰

[@Justcetriyaart]

Oh side note, hope to get a bit more sewing fashion content when you can :)
