2017

by

Let’s be honest, Christmas is all about lying on the couch, surveying your ever-widening waistline and vowing to get healthy in the New Year… just as soon as you polish off this double-decker turkey sandwich.

But it’s easier said than done though, right?

If you have spent countless hours envisioning a happy, healthier version of yourself for 2017, then you need to get in on the Happy Pear’s Happy Heart course, and pronto.

At just €99 for a four-week online course (and 20% off promotion before December 31!) you will be given 50 recipes exclusive to Happy Heart students in addition to live Q&A with Dave and Steve each week.

The course, which promotes a plant-based and whole food diet, helps increase energy levels, accelerate weight loss, lower blood pressure and reduce cholesterol.

Working from the inside out, the Happy Heart course is a major step in the right direction when it comes to cardiovascular health and general wellbeing.

We know what we’re getting ourselves this Christmas.

Tis the season for good resolutions. But much harder than commit to them is sticking to them, which is why we have a few suggestions of easy and struggle-free changes that can truly change your life. 

1) Reduce sugar intake:

We know, it’s hard, especially since so much of our daily intake comes from hidden sugar in processed food – look at the back of a tomato sauce and you’ll see what we mean. So start by gradually reducing the sugar in your cuppa, skip the jam on the toasts, have an apple instead of candies. Sugar is addictive but the good news is, the less you eat of it the less you crave it.

 

 

2) Make meals from scratch:
“Don't eat anything your great-grandmother wouldn't recognise as food”, says American food activist Michael Pollan. And we're pretty sure that your great-grandmother didn’t know about Mars bars and Doritos. Modern life can jeopardise our good resolutions, but trying to eat homemade food made from scratch as often as you can is essential. Don’t be too harsh on yourself though: little changes make a big difference over time. 

 

 

3) Walk as much as possible:

How easy is it to skip the gym and Netflix and chill instead? If going to the gym is too much of a commitment in your busy life, try and introduce as much walking in your day as possible. Go talk to a colleague instead of emailing, go get some air at lunch time, get off the Luas one stop before and walk the distance, go for a hike with the kids at the weekend. Again, every step counts.

 

 

4) Sleep more:
There are several reasons for getting at least seven hours of sleep every night, and controlling your weight is a pretty big one. Sleeping helps control hunger hormones, and we have all noticed that it is much harder to exercise and make healthy food choices when we are tired. So turn off your phone, stop scrolling through Instagram, and lights off before 11pm.

 

 

5) Laugh:
Some say that laughter is the best medicine. It can help reduce stress, anxiety and depression, and even strengthen your immune system. Try and seek out more opportunities for a good laugh, by spending more time with funny friends, watching comedies, listening to a funny podcast (we strongly recommend My Dad Wrote A Porno). It will bring you happiness and could help you live a longer and healthier life. 

 

 
PLUS: stop smoking
Unhealthy, expensive, smelly, addictive… do we really need to give any more reason to quit for 2017?

Yay! One of our favourite Irish festivals has confirmed its comeback for 2017.

Bulmers Forbidden Fruit Festival will take place on the June bank holiday of next year – which is June 3, 4 and 5.

And if you had a blast last year and want to make sure you'll be heading along in six months time, tickets are on sale on Ticketmaster already.

Early bird prices start at €99.50 for a two day weekend ticket (Saturday and Sunday) and €145.50 for a three day ticket (Saturday to Monday).

Acts are said to be announced pretty soon, but if last year is anything to go by, we'd be snapping up those tickets straight away.

See you there?

After much speculation it has finally been confirmed that Lady Gaga will headline the 2017 Super Bowl halftime show.

According to Us Weekly, the Bad Romance singer has officially signed a deal which will see her follow in Beyoncé’s footsteps and perform as lead entertainer at the highly anticipated sporting event which is due to take place in Houston, Texas, on February 5.

While this will be the singer’s first time headlining the show, it will not be her first time performing on the NFL field.

Earlier this year she kicked off Super Bowl 50 with a performance of the US national anthem, a gig she described as “one of the highest honours of [her] career”.

Given that the event’s halftime show is always a major spectacle – and that Lady Gaga is well known for her over the top approach – we can’t wait to see what the star comes up with.

Yesterday the world was offered the briefest glimpse at the next on-screen instalment of EL James’ Fifty Shades trilogy.

But because the clip was a total tease at less than twenty seconds long, we decided to hold off until today so we could give you the full Fifty Shades Darker trailer.

Due for release in February 2017, Fifty Shades Darker looks set to be a whole lot more intriguing than its predecessor.

Whether you spent the weekend in a tent, at the office or watching the All Ireland Hurling Final, it’s likely you’ll be heading to work today with some major Monday blues.

But as the remains of the weekend’s Snapchat stories fade away for another week, we’ve learned that tickets for next year’s Electric Picnic festival are about to go on sale.

Okay so it might seem a little early to be making plans for next year – like most of us don’t know what we’re doing next week, never mind in 365 days time – but given the pre-EP ticket scramble that revellers have experienced in recent times, having Picnic tickets in advance mightn’t be the worst idea.

According to RTE.ie, passes for Electric Picnic 2017 will go on sale this Friday (September 9) at 9am.

Festival organisers say the event’s capacity will remain at 55,000 people as they don’t want it getting any bigger, but unfortunately for dedicated festival goers the price of loyalty tickets is set to increase by a fiver.

While there is still loads of time to prep for EP '17, we're sure there will be plenty of people looking forward to Friday.

If you missed out on tickets the last time U2 played in Dublin, then fear not, because they're coming back.

Bono revealed the news to a Spanish fan group, U2 en Espana, that they are in the middle of writing a new album and planning a new tour, all to take place in 2017.

"It's not finished yet but you will like it," the frontman said.

"In terms of lyrics it is stronger than WAR, it has more clarity. The tour is for 2017… you might see a few things in September or October though."

The band's last tour was the third best-earning tour in 2015, with the group making over €122m from ticket sales alone, so it's easy to see why they want to do it all over again.

It's been six years since any version of the Sugababes has created an album so it's pretty exciting to hear that the band's three original members are set to release a comeback album.

According to NME, Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhán Donaghy are working on new music which will be released at some stage in 2017. 

Singer Siobhán Donaghy told Wandsworth Radio: “Sugababes have got a record coming out next year. I can’t tell you the exact date."

"I know, but I can’t tell you. It’s next year.”

“We’ve been back and then there was a bit of a break. But we’re working on it again, so it’s exciting.”

Siobhán was the first member to leave the girlband on a solo venture back in 2001.

She was replaced by Heidi Range while she released the solo albums Revolution In Me and Ghosts.

By 2009 the three original girls had been totally replaced.

They decided to reform as Mutya Keisha Siobhán in 2012 and released Flatline together the following year but this is the first time they will reunite as the Sugababes.
