School Scents sells affordable and wonderful smelling candles. They have a large variety of options, and you probably won’t be checking out with just one candle. Founded by a mother daughter duo, the candles are made with all-natural soy wax, fragrance oils and of course, lots of love. They’ve also partnered with our client, In Our Arms, who you’ll read about in just a moment, to create their “Breathe” scent that is quite literally the best thing your nose will ever experience.
