Innholdsfortegnelse for February 2020 i It GiRL

Hi everyone, Happy New Year and welcome to a new issue of It GiRL! I love this time of the year because it feels like a fresh start, plus, it's also smack-bang in the middle of summer, which means holidays, ice cream, beach visits, sleep-ins and more ice cream! I'm lucky enough to have a pool at home and one of my favourite things to do in the summer time is invite my besties over for a pool day. We just spend the whole day in and out of the water and it's always so much fun! But, there are still days when I don't know what to do with all my spare time and I know you guys probably feel the same way too. So, this month we've put…

one Camp out in your backyard. Put up a tent, tell ghost stories and toast marshmallows. The best bit? If you get spooked, you can just go back inside the house! two Grab all your hair accessories, nail polish, and anything else you can find to hold an afternoon pamper party with your friends. three Head to an op shop with your bestie and hold a competition with each other to see who can buy the best item for under five dollars. four TAKE A PHOTO, DRAW A PICTURE, WRITE A LETTER OR AN EMAIL AND SEND IT TO IT GIRL. WHO KNOWS, YOU MIGHT GET PUBLISHED! five Visit your local netball or basketball court and shoot some hoops. If ball games aren’t your thing, find a cool bike track…

ARIANA’S TOPPED THE CHARTS Since turning to music full-time, Ariana Grande has had some huge success! The singer took to Instagram to share a list from Spotify’s Wrapped List of the decade, which showed her as the number one most-streamed female artist between the years of 2010-2019. “I keep rereading this to make sure it says what it says,” Ariana posted in a special message to her dedicated fans, “I didn’t even debut ‘til three years into the decade. Thank you for listening and caring. Appreciate and love you always.” Aww, go Ari! DOVE’S SUPER SPECIAL SUNSHINE Dove Cameron recently revealed the meaning behind a bunch of her tattoos - and one of them (a small sunshine on the side of her finger) matches exactly with her boyfriend, Thomas Doherty.…

ON A SUNNY DAY… Snorkelling Grab a mask, snorkel and flippers, and ask your parents if they can take you to the beach to go snorkelling. It’s a really fun way to get confident in the water. Just imagine swimming, looking at the fish and exploring the underwater world. Don’t forget sunscreen! Badminton If you haven’t tried badminton before then be sure to give it a go! It’s just like tennis, but uses lighter racquets with a longer arm and instead of a ball, you hit shuttlecocks. It’s loads of fun to play with your group of besties or your family. Plus, it’s also a cool way to keep fit while enjoying yourself. Bonus! Water fun Whether you’re splashing around in a pool, or cooling off in the ocean, there…

I’ll just throw on some mascara and call it a day. It’s so much better for your skin and I feel much more comfortable that way.” Ariana Grande This set includes 15 bright and fun nail polish shades. There’s…

DIVING DISASTER Our swimming teacher took us diving off one of those proper diving boards. While I was waiting for my go I was so nervous that I started to cry. When it was my turn to dive, I was so scared that I didn’t think that I would be able to do it. I stood on the diving board for ages and my teacher kept telling me that I was going to be fine. Then without thinking, I just jumped off and did a waterbomb into the pool! My whole class couldn’t stop laughing. I was so embarrassed I just wanted to hide!

ALL ABOUT THE... Frog • There are approximately 4740 species of frogs around the entire world. • Frogs mainly live on insects and small animals like earthworms and spiders. • Frogs don't need to drink the way we do; they absorb water through their permeable skin. This means that their skin has openings that liquids can pass through. • The world's tiniest frogs are smaller than a five cent coin, and the largest frog can grow to be longer than 30 centimetres and weigh over three kilos. • Many frogs can jump up to 20 times their own height.
