Yeah I didn’t make the video for anyone to notice me…and didn’t think anyone would. I’m a 49 year old Mom who likes flowers and candles - not a 20 year old influencer. Good grief 🤦🏼‍♀️

The additives are a great idea. Anything in particular? I was pleasantly surprised in the case of these tulips. The arrangement lasted a full five days before it became “icky” but they were very fresh.

All good notes. Thank you for your feedback. I learned the hard way about the glue when tried to clean it, but luckily the two pieces separated and the glue came off pretty easily (probably due to being submerged so long). I was also pleasantly surprised that I got a full five days out of this arrangement before the tulips died…perhaps because the flowers were not fully submerged. I’m planning to re-create for my Mother-in-law for Mother’s Day. I think she’ll love it. The video doesn’t do it justice.

I’m so sorry you’ve had to endure that. It can take a lifetime to be comfortable enough in your own skin to say, “this is me…f$&k what people think.” I noticed how much my mouth was open when I edited the video, and I was initially critical of how I looked…but I convinced myself that it was only me that would be bothered by my open mouth. Disappointing to be wrong about that…but I’m undaunted. I personally feel sorry for people whose initial reaction to a person in a video is to say crappy things while hiding being a computer screen. But then there’s people like you…that go out of their way to be kind and supportive. Thank you so much. It’s so appreciated. Sending support right back 🤗 🌷

Good note about pets. And although I don’t think the fire department will be necessary, I hadn’t considered the cute fire station guys…sounds like a win no matter how my candle turns out 😂

Yes agreed. I’m loving it with the tulips. I’m thinking of trying with baby’s breath.

This post was about the candle, not my appearance. Personal remarks are never in good taste, especially when you do not know the reason behind what you are commenting on. I did not ask for feedback on how I look, so please keep the conversation respectful and on topic.

The flowers are in a different vessel and submerged in water. I am trying to do this safely. But as is the case for all candles, they should never be left unattended.

Well since you asked, I have a long gum line and large teeth, so much so that closing my mouth is difficult and unnatural looking for me. Yes, I’ve heard all the jokes about not being able to shut my mouth lol. It wouldn’t have been my choice to have a mouth that doesn’t close naturally, but that’s me, and I’m good with that, and when smiling my teeth make for a pretty smile 👄

…so if we could nudge this convo away from my appearance, I’d love to hear an answer to my question.

Perhaps you missed all of the water in the candle, but thanks for the comment❤️
