Cosmopolitan Sri Lanka - 01.2018

At the heart of every feature, column, tweet, and post is the ethos that Cosmo must inspire women to be the best they can be — on their terms. Whether that’s by empowering them through campaigns, giving them the confidence to ask for that pay rise, offering them honest relationship advice, or helping them hunt down those heels, Cosmo engages with the reader on an emotional level deeper than any other magazine, providing solid, intelligent advice she really trusts.

*** There’s something delectably liberating about starting afresh. Imagine crisp new lavender-scented sheets, a clean notebook with no ink splotches or torn off pages, a lovely morning of fresh clean snow (not that we’d ever experience that in this 500 degree weather). This need for a clean slate probably explains our weird fascination with the New Year and our insistence on making resolutions we probably won’t keep beyond January 15th. But, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to better yourself. Trying new things, adopting better habits, being nicer to people and also nicer to yourself are impressive feats—and even if you’re just doing it for 15 days, that’s 15 days more than nothing at all! ***
