Hello everyone and welcome to Issue 24!

It’s officially Christmas month so this month we are featuring all your Christmas appearances. This month I launched Mission Christmas at my workplace, I am aiming to donate 100 toys to children in my local community who otherwise won’t have a present to wake up on Christmas day. I also took part in Christmas Jumper Day and made my donation to Save the Children.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, and we will be seeing you in the New Year.

Much Love Charlotte Lister

Thoughts from your Assistant Editor: Lyndsay Mizen

Miss Diamond Curve Wiltshire 2023

Wow! How have we come to the final issue of 2022? This year has gone so fast! You know what they say though, time flies when you’re having fun and this year, in pageant land, things have been brilliant. I’ve had so much fun with the events I’ve attended and did better in my pageant finals in October than I did the previous year, so that is extremely encouraging.

This time of year is always one of reflection for me. What’s gone well, what do I need to change to improve my life next year and what do I need to cut out. So, here’s my three things for life improvement in 2023, which I think you’ll also find useful:

• What’s gone well? Keep yourself visible. It’s important as a pageant queen to make yourself available as much as you can, within your limitations. If you can’t get to physical events for some reason, take part in virtual ones!

• What do I need to change? Make yourself a priority. Don’t miss out on events because you pushed yourself too hard or packed your diary too tight. Make your health and wellbeing a priority next year. This means knowing how to say no diplomatically and knowing your own limits!

• What do I need to stop? Stop comparing yourself to others. This doesn’t make for positivity in your life and will only make you miserable when you don’t measure up to your expectations. Focus on you and what you do well. You are the key to your own success.

Have yourself a wonderful Christmas and New Year and see you in 2023!
