ah.mi member, Tiffany Rose, is the co-founder and head luxury candle creator at School Scents Candles, where she creates all natural home fragrances that are safe for her customers and the environment. Driven by her love of beautiful decor and fragrances, she prides herself in seeking out unique vessels that complement any home decor and mood.

Her Background:

Tiffany’s background is in advertising, television, events and fashion. She has dabbled in all of these quite a bit over the last 25 years. The most recent being events, as she owned an events company for 15 years and still plans an event here and there when the mood hits her. The inspiration behind the candle business was from her love of candles and needing a creative outlet during the pandemic for herself and her children.

Why School Scents?

“Why NOT School Scents?” she asks. The entire make up of the brand is quality. Creating nontoxic products that not only smell good but look good in your space, with catchy names to spark nostalgia from your moments in school, all the way from elementary to collegiate experiences. They have a scent for all in their catalog that will remind you of a moment in time.

Why Non-Toxic Candles?

When asked why people should use non-toxic candles, Tiffany explained that candles with toxins can lead to other issues. She advises we stay away from paraffin specifically. “There is a food grade paraffin which is better to use than the petroleum fuel-based paraffin that a lot of big brands still use today,” she explained. Paraffin that is petroleum fuel-based exacerbates asthma symptoms, causes headaches and has even been linked to fertility issues in women.

Tiffany’s ah.mi Journey:

Tiffany decided to join ah.mi because she needed accountability for her wellness journey. A friend of Tiffany’s that is a Mindset and Movement coach introduced her to Rachel and after their call and she felt compelled to join. For Tiffany, having partners to hold her accountable always works with her weight loss goals.

Lifestyle Habits & more!

When asked what simple healthy lifestyle habit she feels makes a difference in her day-to-day, Tiffany gave all credit to walking. She explained that it gives her a sense of peace and she gets to spend time with her family and chat on the days that they join her.

She is a huge salad eater and her go-to easy meal is a loaded kale salad. It has shrimp, shredded purple cabbage, shredded carrots and a shallot vinaigrette dressing that she makes herself (e.g. 1 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 3 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup shallots, salt and pepper to taste, then blend).

Tiffany lives by the mantra of “Do good and be good without limits or expectations” which is something we can all aspire to do.
