To our MNG Supply Co. family,
Hi guys…
We’re sitting here together trying to find the right words to say this, and I don’t think there’s a perfect way to do it… so I’m just going to speak from the heart.
After seven years, countless memories, and a whole lot of life lived through this business…
we’ve made the decision to officially close the doors of MNG Supply Co. (Mr. Nola’s Glitter).
And before anything else—because I know how the internet reads things—
we are still very much married, still a team, and still doing life side by side.
We’re just closing this chapter of the business together.
And I know for some of you that’s going to feel really sad.
For us… it’s bittersweet.
This business gave us opportunities we never would have had if we hadn’t taken that first leap. It shaped us, challenged us, and changed us in ways I don’t even know how to fully put into words.
But more than anything… it gave us you.
The people, the conversations, the messages—those are the memories we’ll carry forever. So many of you have told me that something I created or shared helped you through a hard time.
What you may not realize is…
you helped me just as much.
⸻
And I can’t tell this story without talking about David.
He walked into this with no formal education in business and somehow became the brains behind the entire machine. If I’m being honest… without him, I probably would have spent every dollar we made on more craft supplies for myself.
We’ve always said this worked because we were two parts of one whole—just like we are in real life.
He was the structure, the strategy, the logic.
I was the creator, the ideas, the chaos.
And together… we were unstoppable.
I watched him come out of his shell, find his confidence, and really step into himself in a way that still makes me so proud. And let’s be real—when you think of Mr. Nola’s Glitter, you see his face. That will always be part of this brand.
Right now, we’re in a season of slowing down—taking care of things around our home and life that we’ve put off for years, and giving ourselves space to figure out what’s next.
And while we may not have all the answers yet, one thing I do know for sure…
He’s not going anywhere.
He’ll be part of whatever we build next, just like he always has been—keeping me grounded, keeping me on track, pushing me, and encouraging me to go after whatever it is I want.
Just like he has for the last 35 years.
⸻
I poured everything I had into this business.
My creativity. My energy. My heart.
And over the last year and a half, since we closed our physical location… I’ve been navigating one of the hardest and darkest mental health seasons of my life. I’ve always tried to be open about that, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it—it’s been heavy.
But I can finally say… I feel like I’m coming out the other side.
And in that, I’ve realized something really simple:
I don’t just want to run a large big business anymore.
I just want to be me.
I’m an artist.
I’m a mom.
I’m a wife.
I’m a sister.
I’m a friend.
And I want to show up as that version of myself—in real life, for real.
⸻
Over the next few weeks, you’ll start to see the MNG Supply name slowly come down, and you’ll see it being replaced with something new:
It’s Rachel.
Just me. Being me, in my real life. The same across the board. No masks, or different hats...... I look silly in a hat anyways!
But that doesn’t mean you’re losing us.
If anything, you’re getting more of us than you ever have before.
You’ll see me creating in all the different, sometimes chaotic, forms that I do…
and you’ll see us just being us.
Rachel in real, real life.
Artist.
Wife.
Friend.
Around hot mess.
And I hope you’ll be here for that.
⸻
If you’ve already noticed, I’ve started sharing my artwork again. At the beginning of last year, I stepped away from tumblers… because they’re just not my passion anymore.
What I’m creating now is different.
Smaller pieces.
More intentional pieces.
Pieces that are helping me heal.
Art has always been my therapy, and I know so many of you feel the same. So I’d love for this space to become somewhere you can share your own art therapy too.
⸻
Now let’s talk about the big question I know is coming…
What about the products? The epoxy?
Here’s the honest answer:
We will no longer be producing or restocking our epoxy (Glass Coat, Speed Dry, Deep Pour).
Whatever we have left will be the final stock.
That decision wasn’t easy.
If you’ve been around for a while, you know the epoxy was my baby. What a lot of people don’t know is that it actually started because I had a severe allergic reaction when we first began—like full-body rashes for two years with no answers.
Creating our own formula wasn’t just a business move… it was something we had to do.
And what came from that is something we will always be proud of. We’ve shipped our epoxy all over the world. It’s been relabeled, rebranded, and used by so many artists.
That’s a big deal to me.
But the truth is… the world is different right now. Costs are higher, sales have slowed, and my heart just isn’t in that space anymore.
So it’s time to close that chapter.
And I know that’s going to make some of you panic—I get it. I really do. But right now, I’m not in a place to recommend alternatives. I’ve been out of that world for over a year, and I want to be honest about that.
⸻
What is continuing?
Couch Craft Kits.
These came from a very real place. I needed something small, something doable, something I could finish in one sitting to get that little dopamine boost and make it through the day.
And it turns out… a lot of you needed that too.
So those aren’t going anywhere—but they are changing.
They’ll be hand-curated by me, one kit at a time, using everything I’ve collected, created, and held onto over the years (because yes… I kept everything).
You’ll also start seeing my art and kits listed on eBay to keep things simple and organized.
⸻
If you’ve been here for any part of this journey… thank you.
For supporting us.
For growing with us.
For being part of something that meant so much to both of us.
We’re still here. Just evolving.
And I truly hope you’ll stick around for what’s next.
—David 🧠 and Rachel 🎨
