Welcome to the Glow Journal: A Space for Scent-Sitive Souls
Hi there,
I’m Ivy, Founder of Five Thirty PM Candle Co, and I’m so happy you’re here.
I created this little candle brand because I wanted more than just a candle. I wanted something clean, cozy, and comforting, something that smelled amazing without giving me a headache or setting off allergies. Sound familiar? If so, you might be a scent-sitive soul too.
The Glow Journal is my way of sharing the heart behind the glow, a behind-the-scenes look at what makes this brand more than wax and wicks. It’s where I’ll share stories about the scents you love (and the ones still in the works), what clean candles really mean, and how scent can gently shape the way we feel at home, at work, or during a much-needed moment of peace.
You’ll also find:
- Tips for creating cozy spaces with scent
- The journey of building the Glow Up Collection (with updates as new scents bloom!)
- Candle and wax melt care guides
- A few honest moments from me as a maker, dreamer, and small business owner trying to glow sustainably and intentionally
Our slogan says it best: clean candles for scent-sitive souls. That’s not just branding; it’s our standard. No harsh chemicals, no overwhelming fragrance, just clean-burning glow for people who want to feel good in their space without compromising their health or energy.
So, whether you’re here as a candle lover, a fellow sensitive nose, or just someone who loves beautiful things that smell good and do good, welcome. This is your space too.
Thanks for being part of the glow. I can't wait to share more with you.
Stay glowing,
Ivy
Founder, Five Thirty PM Candle Co
