THE STORY
Dedicated to Lex's Mom, Viola "Vibie"
In a Time of Darkness
Everyone has a moment when the light unexpectedly goes out in their life. That moment may come at the end of a relationship, during illness, after losing a job, or when someone you love passes away. Suddenly there is darkness where positivity, happiness, and light once lived.
For Lex, that moment came when she lost her Mom in 2017. When she left the physical world, something inside Lex left too, but she knew that she needed to find the light again. Not only for herself, but for her mom too.

Honoring Lex's Mom
To honor Lex's Mom and find her own comfort after her passing, Lex decided to make a special candle. Growing up, Lex's parents always had candles burning, they loved the relaxing ambiance and moody Vibes they brought to their space. This memory, along with her natural gravitation towards creativity as an outlet, made creating a candle feel so right.

The Note
After the passing of Lex's mom, Lex needed to find comfort. One day she was looking through her Mom's keepsake box where she stored memorabilia, poems, old id's and love notes. One note stood out, it's started with, "Hey Vibie". It was a note that her Dad had written to her mom back in '81. Lex's Dad had given her Mom the nickname, "Vibie" short for her name "Viola". Right when Lex read that note, she knew she wanted to use that name someway, somehow. Later on, it would be used within her business name, "Vibes Candles".
A company that not only was created in honor of her Mom but also bears her Mom’s nickname, "Vibie" that her Dad had given her. Lex's Mom and Dad will forever live on within Vibes Candles like an eternal flame.
