Rachel Cargle established the Loveland Foundation in 2018 to raise funding for Black women and girls to attend therapy. It began as an enthusiastic social media birthday fundraiser, which raised $250,000. The Loveland Foundation is the continuation of her efforts. Companies like Anecdote Candles and Prose are eager to support the cause.
The two brands collaborated to create limited-edition candle fragrances. The Good Hair Day / Rosemary & Cassis candle pays tribute to the magic of a good hair day and acknowledges Prose's haircare roots. It includes a blend of rosemary, bergamot, and clove. The Individualism / Nectar Petals & White Jasmine candle boasts a floral and zesty fragrance, including notes of mandarin and vanilla.
