Innholdsfortegnelse for December 2024 i It GiRL

Hi friends, Welcome to our very last 2024 edition of It GiRL! Where did the time go?! Firstly, I am so excited about the upcoming Wicked movie. Not only am I looking forward to the storyline, but the movie looks so pretty, too. I mean, just look at our cover star, Ariana Grande, and how beautiful she looks as Glinda the Good Witch! Another movie I can't wait to see is Moana 2. I was only seven years old when the first movie was released, and I was obsessed with it, so I can't wait to see where the sequel takes us! You can read all about both films in this issue! This month, we've also included a Best Friends Special, which starts on page 22. It's all about how…

SUMMER HOLIDAYS! YOU’VE GOT THE LAST…

SABRINA TALKS TOURING NERVES Even though Sabrina Carpenter has toured with Taylor Swift and played in big arenas, performing on her own tour still makes her feel nervous. “My first two shows, there were enough technical difficulties to ruin my life,” she revealed. In the show, there’s a moment when Sabrina is lifted high into the air on a giant heart. On the first night, she got stuck at the top! “I was up there far longer than I was supposed to be,” Sabrina said. But being the true professional she is, Sabrina just kept singing while hoping someone backstage was figuring out how to get her down. They eventually did, and the audience didn’t even notice! What a star! KYLIE TALKS DESCENDANTS SEQUEL Fans of the Descendants movies won’t…

A ASK QUESTIONS. Friends should take an interest in each other’s lives. Check in on things like what your pal wants to be when she grows up, her fave colour, or what she watches on TV. It all makes a difference! B BE THERE. Whether your friends are going through good times or bad, make sure you’re there for them 100 percent of the time. C COMPLIMENT. If your bestie looks nice, has done well on a project, or is simply a great friend, make sure you tell her. A compliment is a great confidence booster! E ENCOURAGE. A true friend always wants the best for their pals and will support them in whatever they choose to do. So if your friend is nervous about a test, sports tryout, or piano…

“EVERYONE ALWAYS ASKS ME, ‘WHAT WOULD YOU BE IF YOU WEREN'T A POP STAR?’ AND I'M ALWAYS LIKE, ‘WELL, I WOULD'VE WORKED IN FASHION IN SOME CAPACITY.’” “I've always had this approach to fashion where it's one of two things. It's either O.T.T. fun, wacky, humorous, or it's super glamorous.” “I don't have fashion regrets because I think it has all represented me at the time and the age. I’ve worn a lot of weird things, but they’ve always brought me joy!” “Vanilla is my all-time favourite scent, I’ve been wearing it in one form or another since I was 18.” “My favourite red carpet look was when I was a cheeseburger. It was the most fun and it got the most attention.” “WHEN IT COMES TO DRESSING UP, I…

ALL ABOUT THE... Koala ● Though they’re often called koala ‘bears’, a koala is not a bear; it is a marsupial. ● Koalas often sleep for up to 18–20 hours a day! ● Koalas have five fingers on each front paw. Two of these fingers can move in a special way, like our thumbs! This helps them hold onto tree branches and grab their food. The second and third digits are fused together to make a grooming claw. ● A baby koala is called a joey and is only two centimetres long at birth. Help!

What’s it all about? If you’ve been hearing about the new Wicked movie coming to our screens but aren’t sure what it’s all about, let us fill you in!

Learning new things If you disagree on something with your friend, you are hearing different perspectives on the same issue, which can help you to learn new things or look at something from another point of view. Having honest conversations It’s important to tell the truth about how you’re feeling.
