Innholdsfortegnelse for April 2025 i It GiRL

Hi everyone, Phew. It's been a crazy busy month trying to get back into the swing of things with school and working on It GiRL. But the team have managed to put together yet another awesome issue for you all! The ridiculously talented Sabrina Carpenter is our lovely cover star this month, and rightly so! She has had the most amazing rise to the top and recently won her very first Grammy Award (she actually won two!). So, we take a look back over the years and learn all about her road to superstardom! Turn to page 16 to read all about it. This issue is also jam-packed with fun stories, cool posters, fab fashion, puzzles, quizzes, jokes, and so much more! So, what are you waiting for? Go check…

one Your parents probably tell you this all the time, but always remember to turn the lights off when you leave a room. two Instead of buying wrapping paper, wrap presents in It GiRL posters. Then, you can hang up posters from the next issue with the clear conscience of having recycled. three Take shorter showers. Do you really need to sing ALL the songs from Wicked while you’re in there? 4 GOING SHOPPING? BRING A CUTE TOTE BAG AND ALWAYS SAY NO TO PLASTIC BAGS five Chuck on your fave hoodie instead of turning on the heater – who knew fashion could help stop global warming? 6 Opt for your natural look instead of blow-drying or straightening your hair with a flat iron. Oh, and step away from the…

LADY GAGA WAS A NICE GIRL AT SCHOOL One of Lady Gaga’s former school friends has shared what the star was like in school. The friend revealed, “She was very bright and probably the nicest girl at our school. I remember one day I forgot to pack my lunch, and she shared hers with me, even though I’d hardly ever spoken to her before,” the school friend continued, “I was friends with her after that until we parted ways when I went to college. She was absolutely lovely.” Aw, we love hearing stories like this! It goes to show that a little bit of kindness goes a long way! ADDISON STAYS POSITIVE Addison Rae shared how she manages to keep such a positive outlook on life. “Maintaining a positive outlook is…

How did the idea for Chickenpox come about? Is Abby based on anyone you know? REMY: “Abby is inspired by my oldest sister, but as I wrote, she became an amalgamation of multiple people I know.” Will there be more books about Abby or do you have other characters you’d like to introduce? REMY: “There will be a companion novel to Chickenpox starring the Lai siblings, set in a different year, and Abby will be in it, but probably not as the main character.” How long does it take to write a book, and what is your favourite part of the process? REMY: “It depends. Some books take longer. Chickenpox took about six months, including a rough layout of the pages. Figuring out the story is my favourite part because…

“MY FAVOURITE FEATURE IS MY TEETH. I REALLY LIKE HAVING A GAP NOW. I DIDN’T USED TO, WHICH IS SAD.” “I just love menswear so much.

I like feeling like I can move and breathe.” “I like clean skin and brushed-up brows, and recently, I’ve been into a plummier lip - something darker.” “I've had fun using the stage as an excuse for me to wear more than jeans and a sweater, which…

ALL ABOUT THE... Quokka ● The Quokka is an Australian marsupial. They have round little bodies, are covered in brown-grey fur, have small rounded ears, and a cute black nose. ● They are herbivores who feed mostly at night, meaning they are mostly nocturnal. They eat grass as well as the leaves, stems and bark of many plants. ● Baby quokkas, called joeys, live in their mother’s pouch for six months. ● They're called the happiest animals in the world because they look like they're always smiling. Cute! Help! I HAVE A RABBIT CALLED PATCH, AND I HAVE NOTICED THAT HE IS EATING HIS OWN POOS - GROSS! WHY IS HE DOING THIS ALL OF A SUDDEN, AND HOW CAN I GET HIM TO STOP? This may sound strange, but…
