Canadian Living – September 2019

CANADIAN LIVING SEPTEMBER 2019 | 9

from the editors

Fresh Starts is our main coverline this issue because—despite

what calendar makers, astrology books and organizing arti-

cles tell us—we all know that September is really the month

that means renewal, refreshment and reinvention. Perhaps

it harks back to our school days, when pristine notebooks,

crayons and, potentially, a bedazzled pencil case marked the

onset of a season full of possibilities. Add to that a roster of

new classmates and the unveiling of the latest fall fashions

and we had an opportunity presented to us every year to

become a whole new version of ourselves.

That sense of beginning anew at this time of year is no

less impactful in the later stages of our lives. We still feel

a (sometimes) subtle nudge during the last days of August

that stirs us into looking past Labour Day toward a revved

up autumn. With the turn of the air from sultry to crisp we

are likewise impelled to action.

To celebrate the transition, we’re presenting stories that

help keep you sorted—and stylish. For example, we’ll tell

you how to corral your paperwork in “Paper Pushers,” page

46, and maintain your appliances (“Clean Sweep,” page 68),

how to feed a family all week—fast!—in our regular What’s

For Dinner? feature on page 76 and the easiest way to get

glowing, hydrated skin (“Cheat Sheets,” page 30) so you can

present your best face forward....In your new fall fashions

(see our picks on page 35), of course.
