Earnify Is Legit

I love a good deal – who doesn’t? For example, I’ve lost track of how many people I’ve recently told about my new flat top grill I just got from Sam’s Club. It’s a wannabe Blackstone, but the store’s own Member’s Mark brand. Where you could easily spend upwards of $300 on a “real” one, mine usually runs $250. Not much of a savings, except that it was on sale for $80 off so I spent a mere $170! Can you believe it? I had it assembled and seasoned with oil the day I brought it home.

Think about a form of art. It doesn’t even have to be “art”. It can just be some type of creative outlet, right? I mean beyond writing, singing, acting, drawing, sculpture, or any kind of color on a two-dimensional canvas. But let’s start with painting. There are obviously tons of options here: acrylic, watercolor, oil, or even paint markers, to name a few. Each one lends itself to different techniques or even different subjects. But what if you’re not very good? Is that the point?
