The Juice Box

   The Juice Box 

Remember the milkman? OK, probably not. But you know the premise. Fresh, glass-bottled milk delivered to your doorstep each morning by a ruddy gentleman in a pastel truck. Those were the days, right? Well, factory-farmed dairy may not really be in vogue anymore, but we just found a way to have the same experience - with über nutritious organic fresh-pressed juice! New local company The Juice Box is pumping out a rainbow of crazy healthful fruit and vegetable juices in adorable glass bottles that they will deliver right to your door. We've been sipping on the energizing Pineapple Basil and the cancer-defying Tumeric Tonic.

Try a 6-per-day "cleanse" for $58, or go all out on a monthly "subscription" starting at $200 for 6 juices per week. For all of April, any cleanse order of 3 or more days also gets you a free consultation with holistic nutritionist Keyrsten McEwan. Still don't want to commit? Drop by Beaucoup Bakery for a single bottle (and Vancouver's best croissant!) - Jennifer Giesbrecht

Tips for a Perfectly Fitted Suit

 Mike Krasny, GM of Brooks Brothers, shares his top three tips for a perfect fit when looking for a new suit.

1. Men with athletic physiques often have a difficult time finding stock garments to fit properly-they usually bag out at the bottom in order to fit the chest and shoulders. More than anything, it's important to get a suit to fit to your shape.

2. If you want a suit to last, you need good-quality fabrics that won’t pill, wrinkle, or wear out over time. Fabric selection should depend on how often you plan to wear the suit.

3. Take the time to select the details that count. A suit is a great way to showcase your personal style, so talk with a specialist; they’ll be able to help you navigate your style options and find a garment that is reflective of you.
