candle is made and how it burns. Paraffin
Paraffin wax is non-toxic and clean-
burning, which means it releases very little into the air.
SOY
Soy wax is primarily composed of soybean oil, and is non-toxic and
clean-burning. It doesn’t have as strong of a hot throw as paraffin,
paraffin, which
means soy candles will smell a little weaker, on average. Soy candles are
often marketed as cleaner alternatives to other types of candle wax, but
there’s not much research to back it up.
BEESWAX
Beeswax is a harder wax produced by bees. It has a naturally sweet scent,
but does not hold fragrance well unless it’s blended with other wax types.
These candles are better for ambiance than making your house smell like a
tropical oasis, for instance.
COCONUT
Coconut wax is a creamy, soft, slow-burning wax known for its good hot
throw. It’s one of the newer types of natural waxes added to the market.

• Melt other candles over the stove and make a large Franken-candle. It may smell good, but
the results could be unpredictable. A safer alternative would be to buy a candle warmer,
which melts your candle from the bottom and turns it into, essentially, a large wax melt.
• Use random jars or other vessels to try to create a functioning candle. There are hundreds
of wick sizes to choose from, and the performance of each depends on how large your
jar is, what type of wax you’re using and if there are any types of additives in your candle
mixture. Even if making candles recreationally and not for sale, you don’t want your wick
to be wrong. Some vessels are beautiful for candles, but it would be smarter not to burn
anything you can’t test for safety concerns.
• Use crayons in your candles if you’re making them at home. Crayons are made from
paraffin wax, but they aren’t suitable to burn. At best, you’ll have unincorporated clumps
of crayon in your candle creation. At worst, it’s a big fire hazard. Instead, to get some color

If you’re over the age of 30, you’ll want to sit down:
According to fashion forecasters and Gen-Z-ers alike, the skinny jean trend
that’s dominated the fashion industry for years is officially dead. Those born
between 1997 and 2012 are looking for ways to set themselves apart and one
of those ways is through fashion. As the youngest generation of influencers,
this group hasn’t had as much time to become attached to any one style.
But closing the decade-long chapter on skinny jeans doesn’t come quite as
easily for all of us. We’ve built an entire wardrobe around our favorite dark
blue skinny jeans and we are certainly not ready to say goodbye without a
fight. After conducting some industry research, we’ve discovered that there
is a way to pull off the skinny jean this year without creating a fashion
faux pas.

ori Stahl knew she had to do
something to help the bees. After
reading several news stories
about the dire situation facing honeybee
populations, Stahl, of northern Lancaster
County, decided to learn about beekeeping.
“It really felt like a calling,” says Stahl.
“I just somehow intuited that I had a part
to play.” Stahl, a beekeeper for more than
20 years, owns and operates BeeBees All
Naturals – a Lancaster County-based
company specializing in honey and
beeswax-based products. Stahl gives
presentations to help raise awareness and
educate people about beekeeping and the
benefits of eating locally produced, raw,
unheated honey. She is also a member of the
Lancaster County Beekeepers Society – an
organization that’s been around since 1876.
“The one thing I’m really careful to say
is that the good news about the bad news
about the bees is that people are so much

mental, and emotional growth. Throughout this journey
I’ve been able to not only rekindle my relationship with my
family, and friendships which I feel is stronger than ever, but
it’s allowed me to start my own family. These relationships
have given me the guidance and motivation to move forward
for myself. I have my freedom back, I have my thoughts,
my passions, my ability to feel, and most importantly my
soul. Being free from these shackles has allowed me to do
something that gives me the most fulfillment; giving back.

ne morning last fall, Kenneth Leslie woke up in
his car in the parking lot of a Chester County
Walmart and knew he had hit rock bottom.
He had ended a toxic relationship with his girlfriend the
week before, leaving behind the beautiful two-bedroom
apartment they had shared.
He had turned his side hustle as a DoorDash driver into a
full-time gig, leaving behind his stable customer service job
at a valet company.
Suddenly, at 51, he was homeless with an inconsistent
income, but he knew one thing: “You either go further

he became a resident of the Good Samaritan Services

grocery bags – now doesn’t have to take up any space at all.
Even in Uncle Joe’s career as a pharmacist, digital preservation is taking over – where
once he kept the thousands of medical scripts from each patient in large manila folders,
they are now simply scanned and entered electronically. Who has the time?
But what becomes of the dusty tapes and splintered celluloid once they’ve all gone to that
great cloud in the sky? Even though it would probably take an entire room to contain all
these physical memories, they’re hard to surrender.
“It’s kind of hard to throw that stuff out, you know?” Uncle Joe says. “In my mind, I always
think about, what happens if this fails or if it gets lost? I never really thought about it before,
but there’s something about seeing the little reel with my dad’s writing and markings on it ...
I don’t know if I have the heart to throw it out.”
Even Ulrich, who makes part of his living off of the idea that these memories are better
served in a format that can be experienced easily, has a similar difficulty.
“Well, the shoemaker’s kids have no shoes,” Ulrich says with a laugh. “I have all of our
video tapes in a shoebox in a temperature- and humidity-controlled room, but I haven’t
digitized any of them yet. I’m not proud of it. My parents gave me old photo albums and I did
have them digitized by us. So, we’re working on it, but when it’s your own business, if I’m
digitizing that stuff, I’m not making any money for my employees.”
Not everyone has the money or know-how to digitize photographs or video themselves, so
once you gather what you want to save, it’s best to leave it to a professional to sift through
the materials so that they aren’t damaged or accidentally mistreated.
Video recording technology made it so that these moments, precious or otherwise, don’t
have to be as fleeting as we once thought. Science says that every time we access an old
memory, we’re remembering the last time that we remembered it. Every time we watch that
old tape, it degrades just a little, until one day it won’t be there anymore.
“I’m glad that I picked up where my dad left off and documented all these different events
because it gives us something to go back to, to really appreciate what we had and enjoy those
videos of when you guys were little,” says Uncle Joe.
I’ll digitize this video one day, but until then, I’m going to enjoy every scratch, hiss and piece
of static for what is, for as long as I can.
