There are small local businesses everywhere that need support in the face of cheap merchandise from chain or online importers. Thank you for your shout-outs to these companies. Can't wait to check them out.
I love Eighth Generation! They’re my secret weapon for gifts-they make wonderful, beautiful presents for people who I don’t really know what to get. Everybody can appreciate the art+cozy factor of their blankets.
@@ladazagreb I believe sillage describes the trail of scent left after leaving the immediate area. For instance, you wear a beautiful fragrance, and you walk away, but people can still detect it for a bit in your wake. I think scent throw is how far away from the object (or person) that a scent can be detected when it is stationary. I realize this sounds pedantic, and I am not certain that the meanings are mutually exclusive.
I LOVE ❤️ watching you AND I’m of the “Seasoned Age” (senior senior senior)😂. It’s your mannerisms/expressions AND your “Beautiful” hands. Although, for sure I really love your home decor videos…. I do learn great information.
I have purchased from Agapé Candles at least 5 times now-all because of you! Just placed an order yesterday, in fact. I am truly addicted to their Mojave scent. On my 3rd one of those! Now seeing this video, so thanks again for your recommendations!
Oh my goodness…something different. You are so refreshing! Thanks for sharing all of these wonderful finds. Definitely will be getting an Agape candle. You can never have enough 😊
I love Lulu candles! Right now I have #14 and I absolutely love it! Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful companies. My husband and I own a small business and I love supporting others if we can. I just really started getting interested in decor about a year ago and am trying to learn. I love your style and attitude and always look forward to your videos!
I am a total candle crazy person. I too have a few Lulu candles. (And I've been asking them to update their website to provide complete scent descriptions. They said they're working on it.) Poolside, BTW, has amazing scent throw! I also have Bali Blue, and #14. FWIW, #14 is a dead ringer for an older brand Archipelago Botanicals' scent Havana. Delish.
This was great! I love buying from small brands and my favorite place is etsy. But there’s so so much to look at, it’s nice to have a starting point. I’m definitely going to look at the pillows. It looks like they have the best fabrics. And I LOVE your mural from Sweden. Wow. I don’t have a place for something that large but I’m definitely going to look at their stuff. Again, thanks for these very cool recos.
@@KivaBrent So glad to hear it! The only thing exciting that I have planned for the week is reading more books, and breaking in a new pair of sneakers that I plan to exercise in (retirement rocks!). Other than that...just being the magical, mystical, Black woman that I am! 🥰🥰
@@KivaBrent It's called: Brothers Unholy. It's an African-American Paranormal Romance (for this week anyway 🤣😂)! Side note: Kiva, tell Babe that robes look awesome in a picture frame...or rather a *_framed picture box._* My paternal granny is Japanese and she gave me her kimono as a wedding present almost 40 years ago. My late first husband built a framed picture box for it...and it is still in there...protected and awesome! It's a reminder of where part of my heritage comes from, and quite the conversation piece for first time guests. My current husband and I are selling our home, so we've boxed it up, but I can't wait to put it on display in our new home! 🥰🥰
I will do my best to,support what I can. I took a picture of all the businesses. And if I need something I will check there first. I could use a new robe. So I will start there.
Great video. I’m excited to check out all these brands. Most I had never heard of, but your glowing reviews have me very intrigued. Did you say you would link your favorite small businesses for art as well? I didn’t see any in the comment section. I’m always looking for beautiful art.
This is a fabulous video for promoting small businesses. 👏 If you have a look at Ralph Lauren's book 'A Way of Living, ' you will find beautiful styles that include artesian pieces similar as shown in this video.
Hii kb .I used to love your videos but now a days I found your videos are very intense and overwhelming and giving me some kind of anxiety so I am requesting you to slow down a bit and just creat a calming aura ❤
You can control the speed of the video just click on the settings and then click on playback speed and you can slow her down. I like me a good fast talker so I like it that way but there’s a couple of people that I speed up one and a half to two times because they talk so slow, but you can control it yourself.
I am so honored to be featured in your video! Thank you🥰❤️
Love your stuff!!!! 💕
I love her brand. Her home content videos are amazing!
I’m honestly over the influencer salesy content but I can whole heartedly get behind this. Thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
KIVA! Thank you so much for the beautiful and generous share! We absolutely adore you and are honored to be in your home! Big love to you! xoxo!

Yessss!!! You are so right!
The word for how the scent disperses out is called the "throw" 😊
THANK YOU!! It was driving me crazy.
or sillage?

Happy Monday Kiva! Hope you had a restful weekend, and that you're looking forward to an exciting week! 🤗💞💕🥰
So excited to take on the week! Anything exciting planned?!

Love. Love. Love Lulu candles. And thank you for the recommendations for other small businesses.
This was so refreshing after all of the Amazon pushes from creators for Prime Day! Love small businesses ❤
Yes. This is great. Highlighting companies that are small or do hand made is great. Great job.
If you know of any small businesses that you think fellow design lovers would enjoy, please drop their details!!!!
Bought both my aunts blankets from 8th Generation, they loved the blankets. Highly recommend
Thank you so much for sharing. I think this is the second video I’ve watched of yours. So I will have to start a binge watch 😂
Agape candles are the best! I learned abt them from you. SANTORINI, POMPELMO, BALI are my faves.
Bali is sooo good!
@@KivaBrent I have i5 burning right now 😊
Thx for sharing with us Kiva!!!!! I love Agape Candles too. ❤
love this channel...
Thank you so much!!!
I haven't heard of most of these brands. Thanks for sharing.
I’m always looking for new small business…thanks ❤
I will do my best to,support what I can. I took a picture of all the businesses. And if I need something I will check there first. I could use a new robe. So I will start there.
Thank you for sharing these companies. Definitely will take a look! And a new subscriber.
I loved the sniff sooo funny! Thanks so much for sharing these small business'. Great value video.
That sniff is likely to get me to check out that soap brand. I'm currently working through my Molton Brown Orange & Bergamot liquid hand wash, though.
I swear by the stain solution by The Laundress. It’s all I use on my toddler’s clothes after trying MULTIPLE options.
Excellent tips--- thank you! ❤
I purchased Agape candles per your rec and they are so nice! ❤
Yay I’m so glad you loved them too!
Great video. I’m excited to check out all these brands. Most I had never heard of, but your glowing reviews have me very intrigued. Did you say you would link your favorite small businesses for art as well? I didn’t see any in the comment section. I’m always looking for beautiful art.
Oh thank you for sharing this!
Make pillows covers with your robe. ❤️😊🤷🏽♀️ .
Love this video!❤
Thanks so much!!

Sweet July is great too.
Hi! Where did you get your necklace? Love it!
Wow thanks awesome video appreciated
This is a fabulous video for promoting small businesses. 👏
If you have a look at Ralph Lauren's book 'A Way of Living, ' you will find beautiful styles that include artesian pieces similar as shown in this video.
I loved this!
Yay! I'm so glad!
You nailed it. Thank you
Love that rainbow blanket..
Thank you for you’re information
Thanks for watching!!
Miss you 🎉🎉🎉
How are you!!!
Can you pretty please tell me where you purchased the tree behind you?
It's from VCF! It was gifted to me!
I'm crazy about Etsy right now❤
Can you do a video on weighted blankets
Fairy God Mother 😊😊😊❤
💕💕💕💕
Is saturation the word you need?
Throw!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
❤❤❤💃🏻💃🏻
👏🏽 !
"...everyone who has peed in it" 😂
LOL
No prices, kinda important
I wonder where the DIY Part has gone. The videos are just commercials and promote overconsumption, sadly
Talk slower! You've got things to say, but slow it down! The rush takes away from your mrssage.
I love peony scented candles! But Agapé doesn't sell it on their site... *sad face*
I think it was a seasonal option!
