2017 New Year Resolutions 

1. Get in touch with yourself and your body. 

Getting healthy in 2017 is about so much more than just going to the gym 

2. Build your knowledge and skillsets. 

You should never reach a point in your life where you feel like you are done learning. Continue 

to educate yourself and build your skill sets so that you have more career options and 

opportunities that can come your way 

3. Be unselfish and give back. 

In 2017 challenge yourself to give back. Start donating your time and money to help others. 

4. Explore the world. 

Take a risk and go on an adventure. Experiencing the world is one of the most valuable ways to 

spend your money and one of the most priceless experiences you can have. 

5. Grow your social media. 

This is one of the most important goals for entrepreneurs in the coming year. There are so 

many business owners that are on the edge with their social media accounts 

6. Spend more time with friends and family. 

As most entrepreneurs know, it can be so easy to get caught up with all of the day-to-day 

responsibilities of running a business and in the process, you may accidentally neglect your 

friends and family. 

7. Always challenge yourself. 

No matter what area of your life, you should always be challenging yourself and pushing 

yourself to do better

HEALTH AND DIET DURING THE HOLIDAYS 2017 

Get rid of orange peel thighs by filling up on foods rich in cellulite-busting vitamin C 

This vitamin helps to strengthen the skin's connective tissue, and the stronger this is the less likely you are to have 

cellulite. So the answer to that orange peel skin could be oranges! 

Unfortunately, women are at a dimple disadvantage, thanks partly to the female hormone, oestrogen. 

Scientists have discovered that unlike 

men who have smooth, continuous connective tissue, in women it's irregular and patchy. The result: fat cells can poke 

through weaker areas of connective tissue into the layer of skin beneath the surface, causing dimples. 

Good sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits and their juices, berries, kiwi fruit, blackcurrants, tomatoes, peppers and 

new potatoes. Better still, these foods are also low in calories so good choices to fill up on. 



Social Trends Human Behaviors 

Communicate Magazine, communicatemagazine.com report: 

As the last few weeks of 2017 roll by, the world of 

communications is awash with end of year reports, 

comments on yearly trends and industry projections for 

2018. For many agencies, this amounts to analysis of the 

tech or digital platforms impacting the communications 

landscape. For the London office of global social media 

agency We Are Social, however, its ‘people before 

platforms’ ethos sees its Think Forward 2018 trend 

report comment on the human-led side of innovation. 

What does We Are Social suggest will have the biggest 

impact on data across the following year? And why does 

the human brain still matter? 

Six key motivations, identified by We Are Social as 

driving changes in politics, culture, media and 

technology, allow a nuanced and comprehensive 

approach to the report. This is while also examining the 

forces driving UK industry change, in communications 

and beyond. Detailed as certainty (the need for safety 

and control), connection (the need to interact with 

others), belonging (the need to feel part of the 

community), status (the need to have validation in 

society), progression (the need to grow, learn and 

develop) and conscience (the need to help others), the 

six motivations are based on the most basic of human 

interaction – essentially what drives technological 

innovation 

Mobbie Nazir, chief strategy officer at We Are Social 

and co-author of Think Forward, the turbulence 

experienced in 2017 does not necessarily mean doom 

and gloom – where there is uncertainty, there is 

opportunity. “It’s been a year of contradiction,” says 

Nazir. “We’ve seen increasing diversity and inclusion as 

well as greater control and nationalism. Technology 

continues to evolve at an incredible pace while trust 

declines. On one hand, data can give us more insights to 

build this trust, but the process of gaining that data can 

also destroy it.” 

And, says Nazir, the six key motivations provide impetus 

for brands, particularly those with a strong social or 

digital presence, to take steps towards rebuilding 

reputation and establishing a socioeconomic 

environment built on trust. “We’re at a critical moment 

in society, where we all need to start working together,” 

says Nazir. “In these conflicted times, it’s difficult for 

brands to navigate this path, but there’s an opportunity 

to nurture an environment in which trust can grow.” 



Celebrities Crossroads 

By Holly Nicol 

A story about Meghan Markle being “so happy” that Prince Harry has quit smoking is completely made-up. Gossip Cop 

can correct this claim. We’re told no one close to the actress shared this or anything about her royal relationship with an 

unreliable website. 

As recently reported, Prince Harry quit smoking for his fiancee, a habit he’s had for a number of years. So, to capitalize on 

that news, HollywoodLife has manufactured an article titled, “Meghan Markle ‘So Happy’ Prince Harry Quit Smoking For 

Her Before Royal Wedding.” In the story, a so-called “source” is quoted telling the often discredited outlet, “She always 

hated kissing Harry after he had been smoking.” The alleged tipster adds that no matter how strong a breath freshener he 

used after a cigarette, “Meghan could still taste the tobacco and smell the smoke on his clothes.” 

The same seemingly fake “insider” further states, “Meghan knows how tough it was for Harry to quit, so she really 

appreciates him quitting just for her.” “Harry says it’s the least he can do, seeing as Meghan is moving to the other side of 

the world and giving up her acting career,” concludes the questionable source. 

HollywoodLies, as it’s known, is merely stating the obvious. Of course the former “Suits” actress is happy Prince Harry is giving up 

smoking. It would really only be news if the blog ran a headline that read, “Meghan Markle ‘So Upset’ Prince Harry Quit Smoking For Her 

Before Royal Wedding.” Regardless, Gossip Cop is told no one remotely close to Markle is sharing anything about their personal lives 

with untrustworthy gossip websites. 

What’s more, it’s glaringly obvious that the quotes used in the piece are entirely fake. A real “source” wouldn’t repeat the subjects’ names 

in every single sentence, nor would a reputable insider refer to Prince Harry as just “Harry.” Still, Gossip Cop fact-checked, and we’re 

assured HollywoodLies’ report is 100 percent “made-up.” The blog is pretending to have insight into Markle’s reaction to Prince Harry 

giving up cigarettes when it really doesn’t have any. Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve exposed the outlet for falsely claiming to have 

“exclusive” information about the newly engaged couple. For example, Gossip Cop busted HollywoodLies just yesterday for 



manufacturing a story about Prince Harry giving Markle a sapphire-and-diamond bracelet that belonged to Princess Diana as a wedding 

gift. Much like that phony tale, this latest one about Markle’s reaction to Prince Harry quitting smoking is equally made-up.

KIRKUS REVIEW 

An Edwardian-era duke and duchess are torn 

apart by the expectations of their families 

and the death of their child. 

Seraphina Bevingstoke, Duchess of Haven 

fully admits that she trapped her husband 

into marriage. But that was only because she 

loved him so much and was sure he would 

never offer for a social mushroom like her. 

Unfortunately, her husband, Malcolm, was 

still having a hard time forgiving her when 

their baby daughter died at birth. 

Overwhelmed with the pain of losing 

Malcolm’s love and their child, Sera ran 

away to America. Now, nearly three years 

later, she’s back in London, seeking a divorce 

on the floor of Parliament, determined to 

put her disastrous marriage behind her. She 

needs the divorce so she can own property 

in her own name. She wants to be the sole 

proprietor and most cherished entertainer at 

the Singing Sparrow, a tavern in Covent 

Garden where she sings on stage in disguise. 

What Sera doesn’t know is that Malcolm has 

never stopped searching for her and has no 

intention of giving her a divorce. He plays 

along, though, forcing her to help him find a 

replacement bride at his country estate. Sera 

sees no choice but to bring reinforcements in 

the form of her scandalous sisters. MacLean 

(A Scot in the Dark, 2016, etc.) delivers a 

dense, richly woven tale of betrayal and grief 

and family loyalty. The main characters lack 

self-confidence, believing themselves 

KIRKUS REVIEW 

A gifted Irish author offers another take on 

his country’s Great Famine through the eyes 

of a teenage girl as she travels through a 

land wracked by want. 

When a blight hits the potato harvest of 

1845, a pregnant widow with four children 

seeks to spare her 14-year-old daughter, 

Grace, from hunger, maybe, but certainly 

from the appetites of her own insatiable 

lover. She cuts the girl’s hair, dresses her as a 

boy, and sends her off to seek work. Grace is 

soon joined by her irrepressible brother 

Colly, 12, who gives her a few lessons in 

maleness. Their time together is cut short 

when he is swept away in a teeming river as 

they try to salvage a drowned sheep. She 

lucks into work helping to herd cows, but 

betrayal and murder await down the 

drovers’ path. She joins a road crew, but her 

first period surprises and unmasks her, 

stirring unwanted interest. A fellow worker 

saves her from would-be rapists and travels 

with her on adventures that seem to cover 

about half of Ireland by foot. Their 

unmeasurable route is through deepening 

despair and the hell beyond mere hunger— 

“past want to a point that is longing 

narrowed down to the forgetting of all 

else”—and the descent into crime and then a 

blackness: indeed, four Sterne-like blank 

black pages to signify perhaps more than 

pen can write, even one as eloquent as 

Lynch’s (The Black Snow, 2015, etc.). Grace 

KIRKUS REVIEW 

Nigeria serves as a prism refracting the 

myriad experiences of both former and 

current inhabitants. 

In two different stories in Arimah’s debut 

collection, characters have the supernatural 

ability to drain emotions from other people, 

for good or for ill. In “Who Will Greet You at 

Home,” a Nigerian woman participates in a 

tradition of making children out of inanimate 

materials and having them blessed by older 

women in hopes that they will become real. 

But these blessings come at a price—in her 

case, "Mama" blesses the child in exchange 

for the protagonist's own joy, “siphoned a 

bit, just a dab…a little bit of her life for her 

child’s life.” In the title story, figures known 

as Mathematicians are able to use precise 

algorithms and equations to relieve negative 

emotions from customers who can afford it. 

This power over feelings is as good a 

metaphor as any for storytelling. And 

Arimah has skill in abundance: the stories 

here are solid and impeccably crafted and 

strike at the heart of the most complicated 

of human relationships. Against a backdrop 

of grief for dead parents or angst over a 

lover, Arimah uses Nigeria as her muse. The 

characters exist in relation to a Nigeria of the 

past—the ghost of the Nigerian civil war, 

especially, looms over many of the stories— 

as well as present-day Nigeria, either as 

citizens or expats. Arimah even imagines a 

future Nigeria in which it has become the 



unlovable and therefore not trusting each 

other’s love. But they are lovable, to each 

other and to the reader. The only 

disappointment is that MacLean misses an 

opportunity to depict a meaningful marriage 

in spite of infertility. Children, it turns out, 

are still central to a successful fictional 

marriage. 

A thrilling story of love reborn. 

walks under “a sky of old cloth and the sun 

stained upon it.” Elsewhere, “the air is 

stitched with insects.” And sometimes Lynch 

seems to move beyond normal language: “A 

soul being loosened from a whin is shaped 

like a shout” (whin is gorse and the context 

is dead souls at dusk). 

This is a writer who wrenches beauty even 

from the horror that makes a starving girl 

think her “blood is trickling over the rocks of 

my bones.” 

“Biafra-Britannia Alliance” in a massive 

geopolitical shift resulting from devastating 

climate change. This speculative turn joins 

everything from fabulism to folk tale as 

Arimah confidently tests out all the tools in 

her kit while also managing to create a 

wholly cohesive and original collection. 

Heralds a new voice with certain staying 

power.
