I started my small business by setting up a tent at farmers markets and community events. It’s a lot more work than you’d expect, so it has to be a deep passion in order to keep it going. Maybe try out a community market or two in your local area to test the waters?
I think that you would be wonderful at developing a book about hosting parties, dinners and fun activities. You already do this and show all your fabulous ideas on your channel. 🤗🤗🤗
I managed a little organic grocer spot on Maui that’s very similar to what you’re describing. I will say it is the opposite of passive income… you would have to be so involved all day every day for years. Just something to consider. ❤️
Glad you are feeling better. I’m so glad you got your purchases from Maine delivered safely. Can’t wait to see how you style them. Oh, and I love the shade of lavender on you. Purple (of all shades is my fav color.) 💜🦋 LOVE the idea of the store. Go for it!!!!
Hi Michel, I just made your opa's soup for the first time tonight and it was delicious. I will definitely be adding this to my repertoire of go to dinner recipes thank you!
In Ireland we have a store like this that's become a very small chain. It's called avoca, groceries gifts life stuff and the best coffee. It's super popular
The general store sounds exactly like the one in Paso Robles! I would love to see something like this especially since I’ve moved away. It was so cute. Loved getting cocoa Felice and orange olive oil from there and they had the BEST greeting cards
If you and Jordy ever move to the Nashville area, and you’d want to do your general store attached to a coffee shop, let me know😁 I’ve been talking about doing a coffee shop that doubles as a recording studio/live event space for acoustic music and adding the general store type of vibe sounds so fun!!
@@tulipsinjulyI think the point was to *not* run it when she’s filming ads but have it on the rest of the time especially when it’s humid from showering.
Hi Michel. Thank you for such a lovely, festive vlog! Re your general/ gift store idea, maybe in the first instance you could find a cute, local coffee shop which would let you have some space to stock your goods inside their existing premises in exchange for a profit sharing arrangement? That could be a good way to benefit from existing footfall and find out what is popular with locals but without having to commit to all the up front costs of opening your own store straight away. ❤
Love it! I used to make handmade cards, and selling them in coffee shops and small grocers gave me a great idea of what people liked and purchased, versus which ones never got touched! Such valuable info with very little investment, commitment or risk!
You seem so calm about rats in your house. Rats carry so many germs and I would worry about Max. Lisa Rhinna had a huge rat in her house. She said it's because she leaves her sliders open all the time.
Hi Michel! Stopping watching on my tv to comment on here for your kitchen corbels. I would highly recommend checking out Makenna XO’s kitchen renovation with her use of corbels! She put them under her range hood and it’s GORGEOUS. She’s a talented DIYer and craftsman here on TH-cam.
use your cooking course, and set up a business where you could have meal kits from recopies that you have put together, and then you could also have other things needed to host a dinner at home, like flowers, and desserts, and then you could also have things made locally like pottery that could be gifts along with the other things you talked about. you could start it as a home business until you're ready for a storefront.
I would really look into getting an electrician to do the wiring on a different switch for the fan. My bathroom fan stopped working and the visible mold that grew within a couple months was horrendous. It costs so much more to do mold remediation then to get a proper fan in the bathroom
Hi! Regarding the general store idea, would recommend listening to Ina Garten’s memoir “Be Ready When The Luck Happens”…she wanted to leave her nuclear policy job in the white house & bought a lil shop like you’re describing in the Hamptons on a whim! The book was a great look into what running a store like that entails.
A General Store sounds like a perfect future career path for you! There’s a store in my city very similar called The Mercantile that sounds very similar to what you’re talking about. Lots of those staples like oil and tea etc but they’re a little fancier then you would find at a grocery store and more giftable, plus handmade items and some unique kitchen items and they always have seasonal items. They’re so fun to visit because they have such a variety that is always changing and it’s a perfect shop for finding gifts at or just splurging for yourself. Sounds very you!
Hi Michel. From experience with rats… you probably need to have an exterminator come and check your home and see where the creatures are coming in and have it sealed up so you don’t continue to have the problem. If you have caught two already there is likely an access somewhere. Sometimes one could sneak in through an open door but more than one is not common and you may have a breech somewhere.
Please hire a company to come check your house. If there is one there are 100 at least. I had this issue in my previous rental. They have taken over the crawl space. Please take this very seriously
When I visited Oceanside, there was a coffee shop called Communal that was kind of similar to what you’re talking about and it seems like they are doing well!!
oh Michel you are hilarious lol. You are so much like me when I was your age. You talking about not seeing any cooking cutter but you're getting that big pasta but you're not seeing cause there's something in your eye. You crack me up. I love your authenticity can't wait for more giggles you young lass~! cheers to you~!
So crazy about the mirror story! I bought that same mirror and have been very mindful as to where I put it and making sure it doesn’t catch the sun and do that very thing…. Start a fire! Good PSA and vlog!
One idea for the lobster 🦞 card is making it bigger with a mat behind it and making it more bougie 😊. If you have mice, try the tomcat glow green 💚 glue traps they caught every mouse i had!
Just wanted to say I found you through an ad for betterhelp. I was like who is this person? Then your channel was on my feed and I was so excited. Your content is awesome, although I’m at a totally different stage in life, I find your content so relatable and fun to watch. Plus you’re always smiling and I just love that, definitely a mood lifter channel 😊
I always look forward to when you post Michel! I hope your mouse issues are eradicated soon, humanely of course! I love what you and Jordy are doing with your new home! It looks so cozy! ❤️ 🐶 ❤️
When it comes to a market and selling friends wares it would be more economical for you to display their items on consignment and then you take a percentage of the sale. They get paid when an item sells. That way you aren’t having to buy a product upfront and possibly lose money if it doesn’t sell. It’s a great way to stock a store without a huge outlay in cash.
It hasn't been that long ago that I was looking everywhere for your soup recipe and couldn't find it. So glad you made it and posted it again! Thank you ❤
We had the same experience with a mirror. I traveled to Indiana to see family. The lighting is best in my sister's dining room so I used the mirror to put on makeup. I didn't put it up until we saw all the smoke and what it was coming from. I couldn't believe it! So scary!
The general store you’re describing is an epicerie in France. Just add fresh baked daily bread, and have a deal for fresh pizza night every Friday. Done! 👩🍳
For your shop idea, you could have vendors pay for a booth or shelf spot/charge a small percentage for products sold rather than you buying and upselling :) that way you can pay towards the lease! you can also sell items that you just love to pay towards the cost too
I think the store is a super cute idea. My sisters friends parents own Mucicci’s in Portland Maine and it’s so cute. Maybe you could do a bit online like a curated mix of nonperishable favorites. I’m sure we will all support you that way.
Watch Schitt’s Creek! Your General Store/Mercantile sounds similar to Rose Apothecary. Such a cute idea! I like other’s ideas of starting at a farmers market or a weekend flea market event. Something like that.
Had the same issue with my fan. My husband was able to wire a smart outlet type thing into the fan so we could turn the light on with the switch and then ask our google to turn the fan on and off
I have to move my monstera every year to make way for my tree. I move it to the upstairs hallway, it doesn't upset it, but the lighting is very similar. They can cope with shade, as in the wild they are at the bottom of rainforests
You may want to start a following with the sunset market and a venue like the Hive where you could showcase in a small place to get a feel for things. I used to do very intricate free hand dough ornaments. You absolutely need to seal them with a clear gloss or matte one or they swell and turn to mush when the air is humid
The small dehumidifier is good but won't be enough to remove that mass amount of moisture that a bathroom experiences. You would need to either open a window or better yet reconnect your extractor fan or it will eventually mold.
What if you created your own wrapping paper prints/ patterns and start there online? You could come up with your branding and your products and then could sell your friend's art and etc too
Your monstera should be fine if you move it upstairs! As long as it’s getting some form of light and isn’t in a drafty area, it’ll be good. Monsteras aren’t as finicky when you temporarily move them, unlike other plants such as fiddle leaf figs.
I bought the vacuum/mop for my husband for Christmas. He asked for a vacuum but I couldn’t pass up this deal! The coupon code doesn’t work on Amazon only at the Robo website.
I love your general store idea too! But as others have mentioned think about it from all different angles. To me the idea of having to get staff (people are so unreliable these days), keeping up with inventory, and then tied down to the general store hours and emails (or even having to find countless hours curating items and deciding which products to get)...etc seems like a lot. Don't get me wrong, if it's your dream then go for it!
There are sooo many cute little shops like you are talking about in Maine! The best ones (imo) are a combo of gourmet lunch spot with gifts. Perfect excuse for some market research! Could you start at a farmers market type setting or pop up shop in an already established coffee shop? The buy in would be smaller and you could get a better idea of what your customer base needs/wants.
Ask your parents and sister for advice, bet they would give you solid smart advice. I would take Jordy’s opinion after theirs. I think leasing a store plus having a large mortgage would be too much stress. What if you start off as a wedding planner/event organizer? You are near LA and bet you would do great with that and make a name for yourself.
There are electronic plug ins at that create a sound we can't hear that will deter mice and rats. We had an invasion earlier this year and out one in each room and now nothing. They say they are safe with animals. We also have a dog.
Lovely vlog…I miss living near the sea, I used to walk our dog and run every evening…any weekend I have free I go to the sea..❤ enjoy the rest of your week…xxx
About the store. You can do pop-ups first: for example, rent a space on the weekend and offer local brands to display their products there for a certain "rent for space". Your income is the rent that the brands will pay for the opportunity to display their products with you. And they have a place to present themselves, without having to deal with any organizational issues and advertising. So you can see the demand. And also that brings a lot of people together, its fun time to spend and see something new and come to know about artists in your area/comunity. There also can be music band, coffee corners. In my country, this is how a large marketplace began: pop-ups took place twice a month on weekends for about a year. That's how the brand appeared and now it is a large offline store where 150 local brands of clothing, accessories, textiles and decor are collected in one space. Later, a website was opened. The store takes 30% of sales and pays the profit to sellers every day so that they can immediately invest money in production. I have sort of Magnolia vibes (Chip and Joanna Gaines), is it close?
If you are catching baby rats then there is a momma and more babies. We just spent $5600 to rat proof our house. I found newborns in my desk drawer!!! They can get in through a hole the size of a quarter. I'm a very clean person, deep cleaning doesn't help if they are still getting in. I have lived here 7 years, never had a problem. It happened very quickly. The exterminator said it was probably because my neighbors remodeled their house. I recommend Orkin if you have them there.
I agree with Jordy…you should start online. You’ve already got a lot going on and the type of shop you are talking about is a full-time commitment. Why not wait until you’re done school and then you can open a cafe/gift shop combo.
Check out Whites Mercantile that’s in Nashville/Franklin, TN. Sounds like a very similar concept and is very successful, and is also in a pricey town. ☺️ Might be helpful for inspo!
Love the store idea! Wish you could find an inside booth/mall situation where you could start out small. I always think to pray about it and maybe there will be an open door. Fun vlog… and please have an exterminator check out the rats… likely a nest nearby!
Have you been to always hungry grocery and goods inside the Marriott hotel next to the seabird? It’s right up your alley and the owner is super sweet and might be helpful.
I’ve been binging your videos recently, and watching Jordy’s lives the past few days and I just wanna say how much I appreciate you both as people☺️ It definitely feels like hanging out with a friend when I get to consume your content!
Ahh Michel!! I love this so much and you’re such an inspiration to me. Thank you for always sharing your life with us and I love everything you put out. You’re so fun to watch and I love seeing the diy Christmas decorations. I’ve been decorating a little bit today and it’s giving me so much serotonin! I love seeing what you get up to in your day to day life and it’s so comforting to see. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕
I made Christmas decorations out of apple sauce and cinnamon. They smelt wonderful. When the dried I painted them. I don’t have the recipe but I am sure it’s online somewhere.
I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the show, Schitt’s Creek, (if you haven’t you should watch it, it’s great), but your shop idea reminds me a ton of the shop in that show called Rose Apothecary
Here are links / stamps / opa's recipe for my mobile viewer friends!

Hi Michel, I just made your opa's soup for the first time tonight and it was delicious. I will definitely be adding this to my repertoire of go to dinner recipes thank you!
I agree with you, Michel. It sounds like your goal is community and that would be easier to achieve with a physical space vs an online store.
Hello Michel, so glad your feeling better. Love the tree garland idea. thanks for soup recipe, I need to try it. Sounds wonderful!
In Ireland we have a store like this that's become a very small chain. It's called avoca, groceries gifts life stuff and the best coffee. It's super popular
The general store sounds exactly like the one in Paso Robles! I would love to see something like this especially since I’ve moved away. It was so cute. Loved getting cocoa Felice and orange olive oil from there and they had the BEST greeting cards
You should try to make those cutie cards with art you find into like recipe cards. That would be a fun way to see the art as you make the recipe!
If you and Jordy ever move to the Nashville area, and you’d want to do your general store attached to a coffee shop, let me know😁 I’ve been talking about doing a coffee shop that doubles as a recording studio/live event space for acoustic music and adding the general store type of vibe sounds so fun!!
It might be worth looking into having an electrician rewire the fan to a separate switch in your bathroom.
Especially since it sounded like the dehumidifier made sound too, so it kind of defeats the purpose
@@tulipsinjulyI think the point was to *not* run it when she’s filming ads but have it on the rest of the time especially when it’s humid from showering.

I agree. Probably need to add a screen.
I would freak out!!!!!
Disgusting 🤮

Junk journals are the books you were describing. I bet you would love adding in things from traveling and journaling about them.

This is the most perfect time to get a cat 😻
I'd rather figure out where their getting in from. Another pet costs food, time. vets and adjusting to Max. Plus cats can be a$$holes.
@lamar9331 what a terrible and unnecessary thing to say.
Cats are amazing animals ...❤
Hi Michel. From experience with rats… you probably need to have an exterminator come and check your home and see where the creatures are coming in and have it sealed up so you don’t continue to have the problem. If you have caught two already there is likely an access somewhere. Sometimes one could sneak in through an open door but more than one is not common and you may have a breech somewhere.
Yes! Have to take care of where they come in or it will continue.
Yes you should have the home rodent proofed. It’s costly but so worth it. One rat died in the walls of my house once and the smell was unbearable.
Okay I will look into it! 🐀
Please hire a company to come check your house. If there is one there are 100 at least. I had this issue in my previous rental. They have taken over the crawl space. Please take this very seriously
When I visited Oceanside, there was a coffee shop called Communal that was kind of similar to what you’re talking about and it seems like they are doing well!!
That’s a great idea!! Love it! I love places like that where it’s unique and community!! 🙂❤️❤️
What about adding bulk refills to your store? Like pantry staples and shampoo, dish soap, etc.
oh Michel you are hilarious lol. You are so much like me when I was your age.

If you have baby rats, you have adult rats.... You probably need to have a trap that's for adult rats

Loved the air dry clay idea! 😊Just FYI, that Red Lobster mix has the most inflammatory oils , Corn Oil, Palm & Soybean Oil.

That pink sweater top is to die for! 😍
Watch Schitt’s Creek! Your General Store/Mercantile sounds similar to Rose Apothecary. Such a cute idea!
I like other’s ideas of starting at a farmers market or a weekend flea market event. Something like that.
Your videos are so calming ❤always a great way for me to unwind and watch while I drink my morning coffee.
Had the same issue with my fan. My husband was able to wire a smart outlet type thing into the fan so we could turn the light on with the switch and then ask our google to turn the fan on and off
I have to move my monstera every year to make way for my tree. I move it to the upstairs hallway, it doesn't upset it, but the lighting is very similar. They can cope with shade, as in the wild they are at the bottom of rainforests
The beach is so relaxing
It really is!🥹🤍
The general store idea is amazing 🎉 hope it can come to fruition
Feel better I’m actually watching Jordy’s live right now lol ❤
Aw love that!
You may want to start a following with the sunset market and a venue like the Hive where you could showcase in a small place to get a feel for things. I used to do very intricate free hand dough ornaments. You absolutely need to seal them with a clear gloss or matte one or they swell and turn to mush when the air is humid
your videos are pure cozy comfort for me!!
The small dehumidifier is good but won't be enough to remove that mass amount of moisture that a bathroom experiences. You would need to either open a window or better yet reconnect your extractor fan or it will eventually mold.
Love your idea on little shop and support local artists‼️‼️‼️. Just please don’t stop your vlog s. 🙏
We are all sick here in NY and NJ. Reality of Northeast winter unfortunately, especially for us autoimmune girls. Get better quick ❤
What if you created your own wrapping paper prints/ patterns and start there online? You could come up with your branding and your products and then could sell your friend's art and etc too
Your general store idea reminds me of a “world market”, but local.
Also, my family (I for my family) make your grandpa’s soup all the time
You can hire an electrician to wire your vent fan separate from your lights in your bathroom and have them controlled by independent switches.
Watching your garland making makes me want to do the same thing with apple cinnamon dough
Great job programming it! 😊
Helpful when you get it for free!!!!!!
Where is that lavender crewneck from?!😍
i think in the description it’s listed under ‘pink sweatshirt’ when i clicked on the link, it sent me to a bone/white coloured one. so im not sure.
Less light will definitely affect the plant especially during the shorter days.
Michel, have you not been to paper source in La Jolla. You will love the gift wrap there!
Your monstera should be fine if you move it upstairs! As long as it’s getting some form of light and isn’t in a drafty area, it’ll be good. Monsteras aren’t as finicky when you temporarily move them, unlike other plants such as fiddle leaf figs.
How about Cape Cod or Fort Collins lease split?
loove your mix couloured jumber 🎉. So nice in you!
Selling little things like homemade hot sauce, worcestershire sauce and pizza dough would be so fun too!
I bought the vacuum/mop for my husband for Christmas. He asked for a vacuum but I couldn’t pass up this deal! The coupon code doesn’t work on Amazon only at the Robo website.
I love your general store idea too! But as others have mentioned think about it from all different angles. To me the idea of having to get staff (people are so unreliable these days), keeping up with inventory, and then tied down to the general store hours and emails (or even having to find countless hours curating items and deciding which products to get)...etc seems like a lot. Don't get me wrong, if it's your dream then go for it!
There are sooo many cute little shops like you are talking about in Maine! The best ones (imo) are a combo of gourmet lunch spot with gifts. Perfect excuse for some market research! Could you start at a farmers market type setting or pop up shop in an already established coffee shop? The buy in would be smaller and you could get a better idea of what your customer base needs/wants.
Ask your parents and sister for advice, bet they would give you solid smart advice. I would take Jordy’s opinion after theirs. I think leasing a store plus having a large mortgage would be too much stress. What if you start off as a wedding planner/event organizer? You are near LA and bet you would do great with that and make a name for yourself.
BRB I would literally travel to Oceanside to go to your general store🤭
There are electronic plug ins at that create a sound we can't hear that will deter mice and rats. We had an invasion earlier this year and out one in each room and now nothing. They say they are safe with animals. We also have a dog.

I have sort of Magnolia vibes (Chip and Joanna Gaines), is it close?
I'm a property manager and I have had success catching rats with baiting the trap with sunflower seeds.
If you are catching baby rats then there is a momma and more babies. We just spent $5600 to rat proof our house. I found newborns in my desk drawer!!! They can get in through a hole the size of a quarter. I'm a very clean person, deep cleaning doesn't help if they are still getting in. I have lived here 7 years, never had a problem. It happened very quickly. The exterminator said it was probably because my neighbors remodeled their house. I recommend Orkin if you have them there.

I wonder why you din't just open your window to let moisture out of the bathroom? That's how many countries do it! And no added clutter to the room :)
This reminds me a bit of Ina Garten’s story she had a store in the Hamptons! This is so fun Michel 🤍 Love the idea
Aspen and Arlo has super cute gift wrap!
Check out Whites Mercantile that’s in Nashville/Franklin, TN. Sounds like a very similar concept and is very successful, and is also in a pricey town. ☺️ Might be helpful for inspo!
Love the store idea!
Wish you could find an inside booth/mall situation where you could start out small.
I always think to pray about it and maybe there will be an open door.
Fun vlog… and please have an exterminator check out the rats… likely a nest nearby!
Love the small grocer idea!!! We have a cute curated store in Milford, DE called the Farmacy Market with similar ideas!!! Go for it
Make that dough again and do Max’s paw print. My daughter and I did that before with her dog and it turned out so cute.
Junk Journals...LOL 🤙💙 Would love to see the support of local artist. That is a great idea!
For the card, you could copy it at High resolution in a larger size for a bigger print?
lol our robot vacuums name is Robbie too!
Look at opening a booth in Liberty Market in Point Loma!
where is your purple shirt from?! whrn u made your dough?! thatvis so cute!
Have you been to always hungry grocery and goods inside the Marriott hotel next to the seabird? It’s right up your alley and the owner is super sweet and might be helpful.

Michel is that tree by your desk real? (What is it?)
Also, have you tried the gluten free English muffins from Trader Joe’s? They’re weird 🥲🫠
Ahh Michel!! I love this so much and you’re such an inspiration to me. Thank you for always sharing your life with us and I love everything you put out. You’re so fun to watch and I love seeing the diy Christmas decorations. I’ve been decorating a little bit today and it’s giving me so much serotonin! I love seeing what you get up to in your day to day life and it’s so comforting to see. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕
Thank you so much, you make my day! 🥰
I always look forward to your videos ❤
You're the best!
I made Christmas decorations out of apple sauce and cinnamon. They smelt wonderful. When the dried I painted them. I don’t have the recipe but I am sure it’s online somewhere.
Hi Michel how are you happy Wednesday afternoon and happy fall day and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter
Thank you! You too!🥰
Could you move the monsterra to the guest house? That seemed to have a lot of windows.
I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the show, Schitt’s Creek, (if you haven’t you should watch it, it’s great), but your shop idea reminds me a ton of the shop in that show called Rose Apothecary
