few days, that way a minor milestone has been overcome before it becomes a major issue.
One could also argue that writing a list of everything we want to achieve in their year is very reductionist. Situations change daily and our mindset is a crucial factor which determines our motivation and whether or not we achieve a certain goals. Arguably one of the main reasons why so little complete their resolutions is because after Christmas and New Year they are on a high, full of cheer and optimism for a new year, but it seems as soon at the 1st January starts, no we're not sitting on a beach flaunting our toned-abs while sipping champagne, we will soon be returning to our 9 - 5 jobs. Hoorah, let the normality re-sink in and lack of ambition fade away until next year, but if do still write a resolutions list, make sure it's realistic and appropriate for you! ▪

miss world, not so swimmingly
Organisers of the famous beauty pageant 'Miss World' have decided to pull the swimwear section from the competition. Chris Wilmer, national director of Miss World America/Miss United States organisation said "The organisation has decided to take itself out of the swimsuit world because it isn't the path they're trying to take;" said "It's not just a beauty contest, its beauty with a purpose. There didn't seem to be a purpose to have the swimsuit." Wilmer went on to add "Miss World should be a spokesperson who can help a community. She's more of an ambassador, not a beauty queen; it's more about the outreach and what a woman could do with a title like Miss World." ▪
