Crystal Tay, a dynamic entrepreneur and the founder of BASK IN THE GLOW, believes that amidst adversity, lies the potential for opportunities to flourish. Her entrepreneurial journey which began with a part-time digital art venture on ETSY, took a bold turn when she transitioned from a full-time healthcare job to a full-fledged entrepreneur, creating beautiful, soul-healing fragrances for spaces.
This pivotal shift was sparked by the post-COVID recovery phase, which proved to be just as demanding as the pandemic itself. The challenges of working in healthcare during the pandemic, coupled with the ongoing pressures of the recovery period, left Crystal feeling burned out and mentally strained. These struggles led to heartfelt conversations with her husband.
Inspired by her husband’s suggestion, Crystal took the courageous step and on June 4, 2022, BASK IN THE GLOW (BITG) was officially born. Today, BITG is dedicated to offering visually appealing and beautifully scented products to support individuals on their personal growth journeys.
For Crystal, “Glow Up” is not just a catchphrase; it symbolizes the celebration of personal growth, both in mind and body. It represents the journey of self-improvement and transformation.
Fragrances that tease the senses and lift the spirits to a calmer realm
At the core of BASK IN THE GLOW’s journey is a profound belief: scents possess the remarkable ability to bring serenity and happiness into our lives. A belief endorsed by Crystal, who intimately understands the transformative power of fragrances through her own battle with anxiety. Her products have today become messengers of tranquility and joy, offering customers a delightful pathway to relaxation and contentment.
While BASK IN THE GLOW’s inception centered around soy-scented candles, it quickly recognized an essential need for safety, where traditional candles carried the potential hazard of fire, prompting Crystal to introduce an innovative solution: scented diffusers that are not only flame-free but also reusable. These meticulously crafted diffusers disperse captivating fragrances, carefully blended by hand, without the need for flames or electricity.
The product range at BASK IN THE GLOW today is a sensory treasure trove, encompassing scented diffusers, elegant diffuser art frames, cruelty-free fragrant oils, meticulously crafted candles, and delightful fragrance drops.
Indulge in the exquisite featured scents collection, a showcase of the most beloved fragrances, each with its own unique charm.

However, BASK IN THE GLOW transcends the realm of mere scents; customers are granted the unique opportunity to personalize their chosen fragrances with a selection of five colors and seven distinct scent profiles, crafting a bespoke olfactory experience.
