YOUR FALL CULTURE FORECAST

Losing My Anxiety • After a lifetime of being on high alert, KATE RAE started hormone therapy—and soon began wondering where the constant clanging went.

I Was a Gilmore Girl • After being diagnosed with a fatal form of leukemia when I was 15, I visited the set of my favourite show thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Twenty-five years later, I still find the mother-daughter drama compelling—but for very different reasons.

Living with Hot Flashes? Know Your Options • Hot flashes can be incredibly disruptive, but there are now more treatment options available than ever.

Montreal • In a previous life, I visited New York City multiple times a year: for work or with my husband or my girlfriends. I will always love NYC, but like many Canadians, I’m not often travelling stateside right now. Enter Montreal. It’s the perfect destination for a big-city vacation: amazing food, gorgeous architecture, fantastic boutiques. Best of all, the dollar is always at par!

THE LAST RESPONDER • As a rookie coroner in the mid-2010s, I saw the early days of B.C.’s toxic drug crisis unfold before me. Today, the crisis persists—even if we aren’t talking about it.

BEWARE THE Botox Party • Everyone is getting it, and they’re doing it everywhere, from medspas to gyms to hair salons—even their friends’ basements. Inside the wild, semi-regulated world of cosmetic injectables.

A History of Decadence • The surprising story of a chocolate chip cookie that changed the grocery game in Canada.

THE SPREAD • Want to have friends over for dinner, but don’t want to cook for days in advance? Get snacking! This deceptively simple tapas spread can be made ahead or assembled on the spot—and even more quickly with helping hands.

A NEW LEAF • Give vibrant chicories a starring role on your autumn table.

THE TAKEAWAY • Let’s be real: A $22 salad feels expensive…until you try to make one at home. Chopping all those ingredients is a ton of work! Luckily, we’ve got the tips and tools to zip through the prep—and some quick recipes to get you started.

The Science of Bone Broth • There’s special comfort in a mug of homemade bone broth. It’s deeply savoury, satisfying enough to feel like a snack and rich in a way that boxed broth can’t touch.
