Hey Glō Fam,

I’ve been sitting on some news for a while now, and I’m finally ready to share it with you all.

If you’ve been following my journey since 2017, you know that Glo Candle Bar™ started with a simple love for hand-poured candles. I spent years perfecting the pour, testing the scents, and meeting so many of you at markets across Toronto. But as I grew, my vision for what Glo Candle Bar™ could be started to grow, too.

I’ve spent the last year diving deep into my Post-Grad studies in Wellness, and it completely changed how I look at the products I make. I realized that a candle is more than just something pretty we put on a coffee table. It’s also a powerful tool for how we feel.

That’s why I am so excited to announce that Glo is officially evolving into Toronto’s First Sensory Wellness Bar™. 🕯️✨

So, what does that actually mean?

It means we are moving beyond just being a "candle shop." We are becoming a destination for applied wellness. For a long time, I was looking for ways to handle the "noise" of a busy life — as a mom, a business owner, and just a human living in a fast-paced society. I found the answer in nervous system regulation. I learned that our sense of smell is the fastest way to signal "safety" to our brains.

What you can expect next:

• The Sensory Bar Experience: Our workshops (@gloandpour) are being redesigned. They aren't just "craft classes" — they are guided sensory sessions where you’ll learn to use scent to anchor your daily routines and lower your stress.

• Scent as a Tool: Every fragrance I develop from here on out is being created with your well-being in mind. We’re focusing on "Functional Fragrance" that helps you transition from a hectic workday into a restful evening.

• The Same Glo, Just Deeper: I’m still the same maker you’ve known for 8 years, but now I’m stepping into my role as a Sensory Wellness Specialist. I want to help you 'Glō' from the inside out. Not only will your house smell good, but we’ll help guide you to a grounded mind, body and soul.

I am so incredibly nervous but mostly just excited to bring this new direction to life. Whether you’ve been here since my very first pour in 2017 or you’re just joining the family now, thank you for letting me evolve.

Toronto, I can't wait to see you at the Bar. 🥂🍾

Stay grounded,

Kayla

Founder & Sensory Wellness Specialist
