Today on Celebrating Simple Life the Podcast, I’m talking with Holly Singer, Owner of Milk Jar Candle Co. Milk Jar is a clean-burning coconut soy candle company based in Calgary that launched in 2016. Holly set out to engineer a local, unique candle alternative to the synthetic paraffin wax candles on the modern market. Milk Jar’s passion is in their product but their vision is in their community. Milk Jar is a role model for inclusive employment where one third of their employees have disabilities, and they strive to support families and children with disabilities in by donating $1 from the sale of every product. in their four and a half years, milk jar has donated over $100,000 to local charities. Tune in as we chat all about how making candles for fun to pay for nursing school, led her to being a full time entrepreneur with the ability to give back in bigger ways than she ever dreamed possible.

PROUD MEMBER OF THE SASKATCHEWAN PODCAST NETWORK SPONSORED BY - CONEXUS AND DIRECTWEST AND BROUGHT TO YOU THIS WEEK BY THE MINISTRY OF HIGHWAYS.

Celebrating Simple Life the Podcast is proud to be a member of the Saskatchewan Podcast Network which is supported by Conexus and Direct West and the Ministry of Highways. It’s summer time, the sun is shining, the music is blasting and most of the time I’m probably driving a bit faster than I should be.  If you come across a work zone on the highway, there could be construction or maintenance activities in progress. Make sure you drive carefully and watch for workers or equipment on the road. Nothing is so important, that safety of other humans should ever be compromised. Even if workers aren’t present, you should always slow to 60 in a work zone. That’s because hazards could still exist, like rough road, a sharp drop off the pavement, or loose stones!  See the signs. Know the facts. Slow to 60 in work zones. It’s the safe thing to do. This message sponsored by the Government of Saskatchewan
