When you can't restock your wholesome 'homemade' items because the company you buy your pre-mixed and already blended cheap fragrance oils from has discontinued them
I assume going forward it will be identikit pre-purchased candle vessels for the pre-mixed fragrances and whatever shape moulds Mik saw selling well for other people on Etsy etc for her trays/other nonsense. I think she's getting fed up of being so
tit at the making aspect of things and the fact that no two things ever come out the same, which is why there is no real branding or consistency and (shock horror) her random concrete trials aren't being snapped up by the general public. She wants minimal work for maximum profit and the current set up isn't that. She seems to spend hours fannying around buying all sorts of stuff, absolutely wrecking her house and not getting any profit or consistent sales in return.
Maybe she'll rebrand again in a couple of months and just buy the lot in and put her own labels on them, I do think that all she really wants to do is think up daft candle names because she thinks she's brilliant at it and similarly, do the 'marketing' because she thinks she's some sort of guru in that department as well
. It's pretty obvious she only tolerates Karen's involvement because it means she doesn't have to do the things she doesn't like doing, there'll surely be a fall out at some point when megalomaniac mik wants total control.
