Had our in-person debut as Upsensed after the rebrand from Vibe & Glo last night, and it was one for the books!! Literally books. Beyond The Covers book fair for adults will always be my favorite event run by one of my favorite people ❤️ Thank you for having us and welcoming Upsensed into the community with open arms!

Somewhere out there, someone scrolled past a hundred options and stopped here. They chose a candle hand-poured in a small studio in Houston, by a nurse who probably should’ve been asleep.

That choice pays for wax and wicks. It also keeps this dream going, and 5% of it goes toward professional mental health resources for someone who needs them.

So if you’ve ever ordered, shared a post, sent us to a friend, or left a comment: I see you, and I don’t take it lightly. Thank you for choosing us. 🤍

But Upsensed was never just about candles. 5% of every purchase goes toward professional mental health resources, because the conversations around mental health matter to me as a nurse, a mom, and a human. Every order helps someone else get support.

Small businesses don’t have big ad budgets. We have you. Every follow, share, comment, and save puts us in front of someone new, and that’s how a small-batch candle brand turns into a community. 🕯️

So tell me in the comments: what’s the moment your home needs a little shift? Coming home from work, Sunday reset, when the house is finally quiet?

It really is that easy. 🕯️

A follow, a share, a comment, or a candle on your nightstand all mean more to a small business than you’d guess. Every one of them tells the algorithm (and the human behind the brand) that this little dream is worth showing up for.

I’m Mikayla, and I hand-pour small-batch candles in Houston for people who care how their space feels. If you’re new here, welcome. Pull up a chair.

People see a candle. I see:
• 14 fragrance oils I had to test (for research)
• Wick sizes ordered in every size because one of them has to work
• Vessels I fell in love with before checking the shipping cost
• Test batches that will never see the light of day
• Labels redesigned more times than I’d like to admit

Every candle you light took a lot of “let’s try it one more time” to get right. And honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Small business owners, what’s the thing that eats your budget? Drop it below so I know I’m not alone. 👇

Your opportunity to follow along on this wild fragrance journey has arrived 🕯️

Hi, I’m Mikayla. By day I’m a labor and delivery nurse. By night (and most weekends, let’s be honest) I’m hand-pouring candles in Houston and obsessing over how a scent can change the whole mood of a room.

Upsensed is for the people who care how their space feels: the ones who light something before guests come over, after a long shift, or once the house is finally quiet.

Here’s what you’ll find if you stick around:
• What’s on my pour table right now
• New scents before anyone else sees them
• The real, slightly chaotic behind-the-scenes of building a brand from scratch

Hit follow and come along. It’s about to smell ridiculously good in here. 💜

You were never regular glue. đź’ś

You’re the one who lights a candle before anyone comes over. Who notices when a room feels off and fixes it with a lamp, a throw blanket, and the right scent. Who somehow makes a random Tuesday feel planned.

Regular glue holds things together. Glitter glue holds things together and makes everyone glad they showed up.

Tag your glitter glue person. They deserve to hear it. 👇

Life is loud.
Your home doesn’t have to be. 🤍

Light the candle. Let the noise fade. Let your space soften.

Sometimes, all it takes is a flame, a familiar scent, and a few quiet minutes to feel like yourself again.

Come to your senses. 🕯️

My bank account: “where you getting the money from”
Me, pouring another batch at midnight: 🕯️✨ I always get the money

Small-batch means every candle is hand-poured with intention… and also that I personally know the price of every single wick. Every order you place goes back into the jar (literally) and keeps this little Houston studio lit. Thank you for being the someplace I keep getting it from 🤍

Small business owners, what’s the expense that sneaks up on you every time? Drop it below so I feel less alone 👇
