Lighting the Way for Mental Health Awareness
At Vibe & Glo Candle Studio, May isn’t just another month. It’s Mental Health Awareness Month, and it’s deeply personal.
Born from late-night shifts, anxious hearts, and the desire to create something soothing for the soul, Vibe & Glo was never just about candles. It was about carving out safe moments. About bringing calm to chaos. And most importantly, it was about healing.
As a nurse-founded brand, our story began at the intersection of burnout and creativity. What started as a way to cope with stress turned into a brand centered around one powerful truth: mental health deserves more than awareness...it deserves action.
Our Mission: More Than Mood Lighting
Every candle we create is designed to support your mental and emotional well-being—from the ingredients we use to the stories behind the scents.
Our mission is to:
-
Spread awareness around the realities of anxiety, panic, and burnout
-
Promote rituals of rest and self-care that are simple, sensory, and sustainable
-
Give back to organizations actively working to improve access to mental health resources
That’s why we proudly donate 5% of every purchase to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America (ADAA)—an organization that provides vital support, education, and research in the mental health space.
This Month, We Invite You to Slow Down
May is the perfect time to check in with yourself and your people. Whether it’s through lighting your favorite candle at the end of a hard day or building a moment of quiet into your routine, we believe that small rituals can make a big difference.
Here are a few ways to honor Mental Health Awareness Month with us:
-
Create a self-care ritual with your favorite scent
-
Share a story about your mental health journey
-
Support someone you love by gifting a calming candle
-
Learn more about ADAA and the work they do
-
Post a reminder that it’s okay to rest, reset, and reach out
Mental Health Is a Lifestyle, not a Hashtag
Our commitment to mental wellness doesn’t stop at the end of May. It’s embedded in every part of our business—from the scent blends we craft to the messages we share on social media.
This isn’t performative. It’s personal.
We’ve been there. And we’re still navigating it. So, when we say we stand for mental health, we mean it with our whole hearts and our whole business.
Join the Movement
This month and every month, we’re on a mission to create light in the darkest places. If our candles remind even one person to pause, breathe, or feel less alone, then we’ve done what we set out to do.
Taking care of your mind should never feel like an afterthought.
Thank you for supporting Vibe & Glo. Your support is another step closer to providing better access to mental health resources for all!
With love,
Mikayla - Founder of Vibe & Glo
