How It All Started
How It All Started…
Picture this—it’s 2020, mid-pandemic, and like so many of us, I’m trying to stay grounded by creating little moments of peace at home. My go-to ritual? Burning through my favorite $10 candles to set the vibe and help me make it through.
But one day, that candle sold out—and I couldn’t find it anywhere.
That’s when I remembered a DIY candle kit I had stuffed in a drawer months before. I figured, “Why not try making my own in the meantime?” But when I went searching for that kit, I noticed something I hadn’t paid attention to before—black soot covering the tops of my bedroom walls.
Curious (and honestly a little alarmed), I started researching. Why was my candle leaving soot? What exactly was I burning? That search turned into a deep dive into the world of toxic candle ingredients hiding in most store-bought brands. That’s when I discovered vegan coconut wax—a cleaner, longer-burning, more sustainable option.
In that moment, something clicked.
I had been sitting on the name Friday Night Vibe for years, always telling myself, “I’ll know what to do with it when the time is right.”
The time was right.
I knew I wasn’t the only one looking for clean-burning, long-lasting, beautifully designed candles that actually fill a room with scent. I combined my creative vision with everything I wished a candle could be—and Friday Night Vibe was born.
What started as a single coconut wax candle has since grown into a full home + body fragrance brand, designed to help you create unforgettable moments—anytime, anywhere.
