Discover the heartfelt journey behind Glow Simplicity and Glow Affirmations, two brands designed to bring peace and joy to everyday life.
Celeste Marie, the creator behind Glow Simplicity and Glow Affirmations, has built two meaningful brands that are as much about healing as they are about design. Through her mugs and journals, she is giving people the tools to reclaim their peace, reflect on their personal growth, and prioritize their well-being — one small moment at a time.
A Quiet Entrepreneurial Journey
When Celeste started Glow Simplicity, her mission was clear: create a collection of products that were more than just items on a shelf. With no large team, no outside funding, and no formal design background, she used her creative spirit to build something deeply personal — and enduring. Each piece is infused with her love for storytelling, history, and the everyday beauty she finds in the world around her.
Her mugs, such as the popular Yorkie design and joyful goat illustrations, tell stories of personal connection. Inspired by her own experiences, including her love for animals and her fascination with baby goats, Celeste’s creations bring warmth and comfort to those who use them.
But there’s more to the story than just the designs. The heart of Glow Simplicity is rooted in Celeste’s own journey through challenges and personal growth. During the four years of the pandemic, she worked two essential jobs, often completing 18-hour shifts. After long days, when others might have found solace in downtime, Celeste turned to her craft. Designing mugs and creating affirmations became her way of healing, offering her both emotional and physical relief. This quiet self-care practice gave her the energy and strength to keep going.
The Birth of Glow Affirmations
In addition to her mug designs, Celeste also founded Glow Affirmations — a brand dedicated to simple, soulful tools that nurture the spirit. With a background in education, psychology, and spirituality, Celeste used her expertise to create tools that help people reconnect with themselves. Her debut book, Daily Affirmations for a Positive Life, is a culmination of her passion for positive mental wellness. The book and her line of journals offer practical resources for people seeking to develop a mindset of gratitude, healing, and self-reflection.
Her journals are not just books with lines on pages; they are carefully crafted tools designed to guide individuals toward inner peace. Each softcover journal provides a space for readers to reflect on their thoughts, emotions, and growth. For Celeste, creating these products wasn’t just about making something useful—it was about crafting something that people could use to find quiet moments of self-care in a noisy world.
Simple, Soulful, and Practical
What sets Celeste apart from many other entrepreneurs is her authenticity. She is not trying to sell a brand; she is offering tools that she herself needed during the most difficult seasons of her life. Her designs and products are practical, approachable, and always made with the intention of helping others find the peace that so often eludes us in the chaos of everyday life.
As she explains, “You’re not just buying a journal — you’re buying back your ‘me time.’ You’re buying a ‘bubble of peace.’” This reflects her approach: offering products that are more than mere possessions. They are thoughtful reminders to pause, breathe, and focus on what matters most. Whether through a simple affirmation or a morning coffee in one of her mugs, Celeste’s work encourages people to slow down, take a moment for themselves, and reconnect with their sense of inner calm.
A Resilient Vision
Celeste’s journey is one of quiet perseverance. Balancing long shifts with the demands of running two brands, she has faced exhaustion and uncertainty. Yet through it all, her work has remained a source of comfort. She has created a community of people who value the simple yet powerful tools she offers to help them navigate their own struggles and joys.
Her designs, infused with her spirit, resonate with a broad audience. Whether it’s the charming animals on her mugs or the reflective pages of her affirmation book, the products speak to those who appreciate the value of simplicity, mindfulness, and emotional healing. They offer a gentle invitation to experience moments of peace amidst life’s noise.
The Invitation to Glow Simplicity
For Celeste, the phrase “Together, let’s Glow Simplicity” isn’t just a tagline—it’s an invitation to embrace stillness and clarity in a world that often feels overwhelming. It’s a call to create space for reflection, joy, and inner peace, even if it’s just for a few minutes each day.
Celeste’s story is one of quiet resilience. She’s built her brands with a deep understanding of what it means to feel overwhelmed, unseen, and stretched thin. Her work offers a small, soothing antidote to these feelings, one thoughtful design at a time. With Glow Simplicity and Glow Affirmations, Celeste has created more than just products; she’s offered a pathway to finding peace, even in the most trying times.
