This October TedWomen will convene for the first time as TedNext, dropping its singular focus on elevating women’s voices to invite people from “all geographies, generations and genders” to share their ideas. While we here at Prosperity Candle feel the tinge of loss, we also applaud their progressive thinking alongside an acknowledgement that no one should be declaring victory for gender equality — “there is still much work to do.” That is why International Women's Day remains as important as ever. Despite significant strides towards gender equality, the journey is far from over. Women across ..read more

“It makes me want to do something special for the women in my life, especially those I wouldn’t normally celebrate, like for a birthday.” Madison is one of the many in our studio who reflects on the accomplishments of women in the world, but chooses to recognize Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day by focusing on the friends, acquaintances and co-workers around her. And she’s inclusive: “trans women are women too.” The origin of Women’s History Month can be traced back to the late 1970s when a group of women in California organized a Women’s History Week. It was so successful th ..read more

Some people make hosting seem so effortless - a last minute idea that comes together in spectacular fashion. For the rest of us, it tends to take a bit more planning. Whether a dinner, birthday, or housewarming party, there are friends to invite, food and drinks to prepare, and surely some cleaning to do. Behind the casual welcoming of your hostess was a to-do list that, even if largely enjoyed, took time and effort.  Today it's common to accept offers to contribute, such as bringing an appetizer or dessert to share. It's a nice gesture for guests and can make a gathering feel m ..read more

It often seems that our outlook on the world is a bit brighter when we feel confident and secure in our own bodies and minds. We all experience uncertainty and self doubt from time to time... and it is in those uncomfortable moments when introspection can help you evaluate your life, refocus on what matters most, and set goals for the future.  Of course, knowing yourself and what you want out of life is one thing. Taking control and putting those goals into action is entirely another - and the true definition of self empowerment. With that in mind, we thought we’d share some sel ..read more
