"What does Unicorn Poo smell like?!" Is the most common question that we get asked!! 🤔

Well...This ain’t your average candle; it’s not pretty, it’s not sophisticated, and it sure as hell doesn’t smell like French Vanilla and Pear. It does, however, smell like Unicorn Poo: a vibrant, colourful, fruity bitch-slap to your nostrils that will leave you feeling like you’ve just snorted a line of glitter with My Little Pony. 🤭

This one is for the babe in your life who’s just that lil’ bit extra. Think: a no-f*cks-given unicorn in a sea of vanilla-lovin’ basic bitches. 💁‍♀️

I think we should take a break and see other people.

It’s not you.

Or even me.

It’s the fucking bat.

I don’t even know where to start really. What an absolute clusterfuck the world is in right now.
Times are uncertain. People are worried about their health, their jobs, everything really.

It kind of doesn’t feel right for me to be posting right now, and as I scroll through my feed, it’s full of small businesses either posting they are closing down or slashing prices in a bid to feed their family.

Whilst I certainly feel anxious, I do want to stress this: don’t buy my candles. Yep, you read that right. If you’re stressed about your job, the lack of food in your pantry or whether you’re going to have to use your hand instead of toilet paper, then I don’t want to add to your pressure by saying “BUY MY CANDLES!” I struggle with being “salesy” at the best of times, so you can only imagine how icky this makes me feel at the moment. I’m gonna really limit these posts over the coming months and try to keep things pretty light hearted to hopefully make you smile during these shitty times. Let’s face it, I just make fucking candles, you don’t follow The Prospect Project for hard hitting journalism and thought-provoking posts.
That being said, if you do still want to purchase our candles then by all means it’s BAU, however, I do encourage you to support the bricks and mortar stores and other businesses who are really struggling and could use your support. Let’s get through this shit together.

Nope, no fire sales or any crazy discounts from us, however we will be holding off on the price increase #obvi and will be ready to hit the ground running once this shitstorm passes.

👋 I’m Shannon, reality TV addict and mac n cheese connoisseur who is just white-knuckling my way through motherhood. I can’t wear white cos I’ll definitely spill food on myself, but also because I think I’d look like I’m in a tampon commercial and I always say the wrong thing (see tampon related statement).

I also have clinical depression.

You: “Shannon what the f*ck, that got dark real quick”
Me: “Did I mention I have social anxiety too?” By all accounts on the outside I present like a bubbly, confident and I might even go as far as to say outgoing person. Truth is, that is a lie. Without my incredible support system of my family and beautiful friends I’d pretty much never want to leave the house. Running TPP forces me to get out of my comfort zone on every level and take responsibility for my mental health.

At some point in high school my crippling self doubt and super low self esteem really crept in and got the better of me and held me back from really pushing myself to my full potential. I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with my life and the thought of going to uni terrified me, so I chose beauty therapy because I loved the thought of being able to make people feel good about themselves and thought it would be easy, however after a few years of clipping toenails and scraping wax and pubes of salon floors I’d had enough and wanted maximum return for the least amount of effort. HELLOOOOOOOOO admin roles!
After a few tricky years when my depression was at its worst, I finally grew the balls to start my own business as I realised I was going to wake up one day and think “what the f*ck have I done with my life”? It started out with granola. yep, the shit you put on your yoghurt. I had been making my own for years and people in the office would comment on how good it looked and asked to buy some and eventually my granola was being served in cafes in Perth and sold through the online store.

My greatest lessons in business ironically have come from my biggest mistakes along the way. And one day I’ll be able to look my daughter in the eyes and tell her she can do whatever she wants if she tries hard enough and that making mistakes is ok. 😄
