By Dr Mo Zoha, expert in Happiness at London’s Nightingale Hospital Realise money doesn’t buy you happiness. It has been found that as long as you have enough money to pay for necessities and live comfortably, anything above that does not necessarily equate to more happiness. Spend money on experiences, not objects. Objects and possessions do not necessarily make us happier, but spending time with family and friends does. Enjoy the moment. Older people tend to be happier, perhaps because...
By Dr Nerina Ramlakhan, sleep and energy expert at Nightingale Hospital Pay attention to your sleep environment. Keep your room free of clutter and junk. Turn off all lights, as bright lights may keep you awake. Make sure it is as quiet as possible to guarantee deep and undisturbed sleep, or use a white noise machine (or fan in summer) to cut out distracting noises. Avoid technology. Smart phones, laptops, and other electronic devices make our brains active. Distance yourself...
By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Since opening the doors of The Refinery in Bankside, back in 2008, award-winning bar and restaurant group Drake & Morgan have gone on to open a total of eight sites, each scattered around London. Situated within Regents Place, The Refinery is the latest addition to the company’s hearty line up of bars and restaurants and is there most central to date. The newly opened restaurant includes a capacious dining area, deli, outdoor dining terrace...
By Stephen Mayne @finalreel Revenge, traditionally a dish best served cold, proves anything but in Damián Szifrón’s Oscar nominated Argentinian anthology. Featuring six instalments of absurd vengeance, Wild Tales is jammed full of over the top characters, rash actions, malicious intent and rage. So much rage. Evidently, life in present day Argentina has left everyone on the verge of explosion as otherwise normal people are pushed too far. This is comedy of the darkest variety, often straying close to psychological...
By Esin Huseyin I was lucky enough to head to Walthamstow's latest addition, the brand spanking new yoga studios, East of Eden. It was so new in fact, I had a little trouble finding the place as there was no signage, and the interior was a little unfinished - but I love that, no distraction from the studio itself. You’ll be glad to know it’s all complete now! I threw myself a little into the deep end considering I haven’t practiced...
Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter @TLE_Sport On Saturday morning, when I was formulating the idea for this article in my head, I had everything planned out. I was going to bemoan the fact that in this day and age of professional rugby, defences almost invariably come out on top. I was going to complain that very few players have the intuition (or talent) to take a potentially match-changing risk. Then I was going to...
By Daniel Mackenzie (@EkcaLiena) The pathways to drone are mysterious and numerous, rooting themselves in metal – in the case of doom stasis heavy hitters SunnO))); electronic music – like Loscil; a history of abstract sound in the case of Brian Eno or Tangerine Dream. It's not a surprise that a celebratory showcase of the genre would take a very specific core and break it open into its spectral histories. Le Guess Who? Festival, based in Utrecht, premiered the beautifully...
By Jasmine Stephens, Family Editor The General Election is only a few weeks away and the questions from my three children are starting to come; Why is everyone going on about 'Parties'? What is that poster in next door's window? Who are those people arguing on the telly?! I was just going to stick them in front of the TV debates and let them learn about politics the hard way, but that seems increasingly unlikely. And if they do happen,...
By Nathan Lee, Business Correspondent A report released today has revealed that older industrial areas of Britain are being left behind in the current national economic upturn. The Industrial Communities Alliance has published research comparing the trends in older industrial Britain with the GB average and with London and the South East, finding that stark differences have emerged in regards to employment, unemployment and earnings since the end of the recession. The report found that by the end of 2013, employment in...
