The NHL season officially kicks off this<br />
month, and we’ve got the scoop on all things<br />
hockey from one of Arizona Coyotes’ rising<br />
stars – Jakob Chychrun (page 40). The defenseman<br />
recently signed a six-year extension<br />
on his contract. Beyond his skills on the ice,<br />
we talked to Chychrun about his stellar style<br />
(check out all of those suits on his Instagram!), and his personal<br />
connection to spreading mental health awareness.<br />
<strong>October</strong> also means Halloween and the holidays are right on<br />
the horizon. In turn, pumpkins are pretty much everywhere. You<br />
may be carving them or creating pies with the insides, but have<br />
you thought about putting pumpkin on your skin? Page 48 shares<br />
some beauty benefits of pumpkin and has a recipe for a face mask.<br />
Speaking of skin, page 38 highlights eight fascinating facts about<br />
your skin.<br />
It’s also also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Page 46<br />
has the lowdown on life after breast cancer and reconstructive<br />
surgery.<br />
As the holidays approach, the family calendar is likely filling<br />
up. We talk tips for working moms to juggle it all (is balance really<br />
a thing?) on page 28.<br />
We’re also talking thirdhand smoke (page 50), sharing easy<br />
items to swap out in your kitchen to help the environment (page<br />
36), and showcasing a recipe for healthy sea salt almond butter<br />
cups to help you kick that candy habit this month (page 18). Enjoy<br />
a little sweet treat – you deserve it!<br />
Best,<br />
