We’re looking for two sisters to be part of an upcoming Canadian Living Magazine makeover feature.
How about you and your sis? Or maybe you know two sisters who would make great candidates for a whole health makeover.
When we find the perfect candidates, this is what will happen:
This isn’t about dabbing on a little makeup and calling it a day, it’s a whole lifestyle makeover. Canadian Living assembled a team of experts that will assess and revamp all aspects of fitness, nutrition, happiness and other health-related matters for an entire year.

Sound tempting? Email our health editor Pauline Anderson at panderson@canadianliving.com, using SISTERS MAKEOVER as the subject line, and tell her in 150 words (more is fine) why you and your sis need a makeover.

As a child, I remember asking my mom why, on TV and in the movies, people always sauntered down the street and into their kitchens carrying a large paper bag stuffed with groceries (including the obligatory baguette poking out the top). Why always a paper bag?
“Because plastic bags look dorky,” she said.
And if that isn’t enough to incriminate them, plastic bags are terrible for the environment. Guess how many we use a year? An estimated 10 billion! (more…)

Hi all,
Just another reminder to join our forums tomorrow to discuss what you’d write in a letter to your body, and to pose questions to the cast members of the play Body & Soul (some of whom you can see in this photo), who were cast for their roles based on their answers to this very question.
