By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent  New research has revealed the average woman spends almost five months of her working life choosing what to wear. The study found deciding what to wear for work, at weekends and for nights out mean women will spend more than an hour of each week simply considering their outfits. Over the average year, this amounts to the equivalent of almost three days – and almost 20 weeks between the ages of 18 and 65. It also emerged 45 per cent...

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent  In preparation for the much anticipated Red Bull Soapbox Race, soapbox supercars take to the streets of London to build excitement of the upcoming event at Alexandra Palace on 12th July. Soapbox versions of a Range Rover, Lamborghini and Bentley clad in metallic gold, a yellow finish and bright pink faux fur respectively, were seen by surprised passers by outside iconic locations in London including Harrods, the affluent Sloane Street and the Millennium Bridge. The...

By Jasmine Stephens, family editor It is a truth universally acknowledged that a grown adult in possession of small children, must be in want of a spa day. Universally, it transpired, with the exception of my husband, who only as we drove through the stunning Yorkshire Pennines, announced that he wasn’t sure he was going to enjoy ‘this spa thing’. I won’t deny that spas do appeal more to the female market, with mother-daughter days, hen parties and groups of...

By Laura Casewell According to the experts, this week the UK will be basking in temperatures set to hit the mid thirties which means one thing: summer is finally here. Whether you're jetting off on holiday or planning on basking in the rays found in your back garden, you may well be showing some skin over the next week or so, which means it's time to tackle unwanted hair. From at-home waxing to permanent solutions like electrolysis, there is a...

By Jasmine Stephens, family editor We've all been there; your baby is 12 months old, you made carefully considered decisions about baby-led weaning versus purées versus 'a bit of both and let's see how we go'. Whatever you chose, after a couple of small blips, it went swimmingly and your one-year old eats like a horse. A very messy horse. Then around six months later, things start to change. Your toddler realises they are able to exercise some control over...

Those with considerable personal wealth, whether it has accumulated over time due to business interests, is linked to family assets, or has been gifted to them as an inheritance, should not feel uncomfortable about taking the necessary steps to protect it before entering into a marriage. Pre-nuptial agreements can certainly be difficult to talk about in the context of a happy relationship that neither party can see going wrong, but when it comes to the protection of sizeable assets, they...

By Laura Casewell As the editor of an aesthetics magazine, I spend a fair few hours a week scouring the internet news sites familiarising myself with what the rich and famous are up to. Whether it's the latest makeup trends or hair styles, I like to keep up with what's 'hot or not' for our readers. I enjoy checking out the latest red carpet events and seeing what my favourite female stars are wearing and how they're looking; specifically I...

By Jasmine Stephens, family editor As TLE’s family editor, I get sent information about all kinds of child related products, toys and events, but it’s rare that I see something that I think will be a sure fire success. I’m always on the look-out for products that encourage parents and their children to spend more quality time together as opposed to toys that keep kids quiet and distracted and if they get everyone outside in the fresh air, then all...

By Jasmine Stephens, Family Editor Since I've had my own children, Father's Day has taken on a completely different focus. It's a day for my children to tell their dad how much they love and appreciate him, to give him homemade cards with a wobbly attempt at signing their own name and - if he's lucky - he might even get a lie-in until 8am followed by breakfast in bed. With a jolt I realise that I've forgotten about my...
