THE PROSPECT PROJECT DIFFERENCE

Check out all the things that make us special here

WORD ON THE STREET…

  • found an Aus candle company that donate part of your purchase price to charity. On top of the cute treats, they also reuse their packaging and use a carbon neutral courier with compostable satchels. Love your work @prospectproject can’t wait to light these bad boys later.

    @angemahlook
  • Well…shit! What cant i say about you guys?! The customer service is incredible, honestly….so bloody good, you know the replies are coming from just down to earth decent humans that makes the whole process feel human. The quality is amazing, the scent, the packaging and the ability to have anything you want written on it. Oh oh oh AND they donate to good causes. I mean, fuck me right?! Can i get any better

    @claires_03
  • i bought a “smells like birthday cake” candle for my 29th birthday. I was still able to keep it burning thru till my 30th birthday. A real treat and filled the air with birthday nostalgia. Looking for wine scented candles, and will keep an eye on ur online store for restocks.

    @hiimelo
  • i love The Prospect Project candles. I have purchased numerous candles as gifts and for my own home and most recently custom candles with my branding. Orders have always had a fast turn around and a quick and easy process. Unicorn poo is my go to scent but all the scents are awesome.

Where else can you buy something to treat yourself that not only smells great, can make you laugh and gives back to the community through charitable donations plus recycles! If society thought more about who it invested in, supporting amazing companies like this, 2020 would be a walk in the park!”

    I can’t decide what I love more: the simple, on-trend, minimalist branding which speaks my (sassy) Love Language; the heavenly scents – with just a hint of ‘f*ck you’ vibes – that are so damn good I actually drooled into the Lemon Meringue Pie candle (#truestory); or the fact that a portion of each order goes to a deserving charity of my choice. Bravo, team. BRA-vo. *slow clap*”

Gather ‘round kids…
The year was 2014. 
Jon Snow was the original short king, Solange was getting her black belt in an elevator and Gwyneth and Chris consciously uncoupled. 

A young(ish) woman in West Perth had recently been diagnosed with clinical depression, had just been made redundant and with nothing left to lose, she decided to start a small business where she sold a product that a portion of the sale went to the customers choice of not for profit cause so she could live out her childhood dream of being a philanthropist. 

Here’s how she came up with the business name…

PROSPECT
(noun)
The act of looking forward

(place)
The street in West Perth she lived on

PROJECT
(noun)
Idea; a specific plan or design

(See also)
Something that has a completion/end, to act as a safety net so that when it failed, (which she fully intended it would) she had an excuse to quit.

2024 will mark 10 years since I started this project…

Biz owners - I’d LOVE to hear the story behind your biz name! Hit me up in the comments x
🎙️BOSSY BITCH PODCAST 🎙️

When it comes to Big Dick Energy, Elsa just oozes it from every pore. Someone who has dedicated their career to helping women in small biz, is refreshingly authentic and is a balls to the wall social butterfly. 

Having always admired from afar, kinda like Joe in the Netflix series YOU (minus the jerking off outside the window) when @elsa_mitchell_ slid into my DM’s to suggest a candle that smells like ass, without even a “hey, how are you? My name is” I knew she was a good time.

When she invited me to come on her podcast to talk about building a business when you’re an introvert and would rather have a Pap smear than go to a networking event, I obviously had to say yes.

Listen to the ep here👇🏽

In fact, if you have a small business, then binge her entire series. You’re welcome 👊🏽

✂️ CHOP CHOP ✂️

This is what letting your hair grow wild for 2 years before letting your 5 year old cut it all off looks like.

My hair grows fast. Like, REALLY fast #hairygirlproblems 

I’ve always been the type to grow it long then chop it all off, but this time I thought it might be nice to donate it to @kidswithcancerfoundation who will then turn it into a wig for a a young person battling cancer. 

It was really important for me that Ella was involved in the process and I wanted her to understand why I was doing it (as much as a 5 year old can), but obviously needed professional help (in so many ways, but more specially a hairdresser) so the good people of @salonjaimmelee hooked your girl up with the freshest of snips 🫶🏽

My fave cousin @joanne.ves was flying over to Perth last November and was going to chop it for me, but the accident happened and I just wasn’t mentally in a position to have it done. I’ve also kind of hidden behind my hair the last few years, but my intention for 2024 is to prioritise myself more and to try to find more of a balance in my life instead of work 24/7 and squeeze in everything else with whatever is left.

One of the positives I’m taking from the accident is just to chill the fuck out and enjoy my life a bit more.

Head to our stories if you want to see Ella’s handiwork, and stay tuned to see what a proper haircut looks like ✌🏼
