Slip and slide It all started in P.E, I found a soccer ball behind the school gate and so I started practising with it. Then my crush yelled out, “Pass it to me!” with the cutest smile on his face, so of course I was going to kick it to him. But when I tried, I tripped over the ball and slid across the ground! All I could hear was my best friend and my crush laughing at me, I was soooo embarrassed. Mikayla Frozen on stage A few years ago at my sister’s wedding, all the adults were doing speeches and I really wanted to do a speech too. I went up to the stage and when I was about to say something, I had stage fright because everybody…

Out with the old… One of the best ways to start the year is with a big spring, (we mean... summer) clean. Donate things you no longer want or need, like clothes that don’t fit, extra furniture, or toys, and give your room a big ol’ tidy. Removing unwanted clutter will make your room so much easier to style and keep organised! Smells well Keep your room smelling fresh with your own signature scent. Reed diffusers are perfect, because you can set them up and leave them. Find a scent you love, or a scent that reminds you of a fave memory. Love the beach? we recommend frangipani! Plan a plant Indoor plants are perf for breathing colour and life into your room. Already have plants? Freshen your look with…

What will 2021 have in store for you according to the Chinese zodiac? Lookout, TGs – 2021 is going to be a successful and lucky year, if you work hard for it! While under the Chinese zodiac, 2020 was the Year of the Rat. 2021 will be the Year of the Ox. It’s said to be the perf time to build relationships (could a new BFF be coming your way? Maaaaaybe), and a time for new opportunities. The last time we had a Year of the Ox was in 2009, so it’s possible TGs reading this were born that year. Children born that year are known for having traits of honesty, strength and determination. The Year of the Ox begins on the Lunar New Year, which this year falls on…

Hey Stacey! What’s your #1 tip for beginner skaters? Always, always have your knees bent when learning to roller skate. What are some things you need for Roller skating? Before you put skates on your feet, we recommend that you have the following skate gear. Even though you probably see skaters skating without safety gear, they have probably been skating for a long time. Falling is a part of learning to skate and while we are all likely to fall, wearing the right safety gear will mean we are better prepared to get back up and keep skating. So, to get started you should have: ★ Roller skates ★ Knee pads ★ Wrist guards ★ Elbow pads ★ A helmet Any tips on choosing the right skates when starting out?…

WW 1984 New look, new era, new release date! The most bodacious girl boss is back! We explore yet another time period of Diana Prince’s life – trading sepia for fluoro, we jump from 1918 to 1984. Not only has her fashion sense changed (ummm, shoulder pads, anyone? Yaaas!), but so has her quest. Humanity has a new foe, and it wears a suit and tie. Maxwell Lord, a dangerous and greedy businessman who may or may not have the power to grant wishes, will use all his charm to get what he wants, even if it means sacrificing anyone in his way. It doesn’t end there either, we will see a return of lost love, American pilot Steve Trevor (but hooow?!), and a new enemy, the Cheetah, whose superhuman…

Band we stan ❤ Sheppard is an Aussie band (oh hey, Brisbane!) with cool style and an even cooler sound. You may of heard their hit single ‘Geronimo’ (featured in The Angry Birds Movie!), and did we mention they’re siblings? Meet Emma, George and Amy Sheppard! Hey guys! Was music a huge part of your childHood? Amy: I guess I was the one who was always into music. From a young age, we all had piano lessons and I was about 10 when I found my dad’s old guitar. It’s funny because when you’re learning a lot of [music] theory, it doesn’t really become that fun, but once I discovered the guitar, music became more of a passion. So how did the band start? Amy: I was studying music and…

What we noticed most of all, is how seamlessly they blend sah many different music styles – it’s a melting pot of various eras of pop!

Plan a pretty picnic No mat? No probs! We’re all about reusing and recycling, so you don’t need to buy a new picnic blanket, use some cute scarfs or towels instead! Layer different materials together and add pillows to create a cosy and relaxing mood. Park games If you can, pack some fun games for everyone to play – like a badminton set, frisbee, or a guitar so everyone can sing along! Think about games that can be played sitting down too, like ‘I Spy’, cards or ‘Celebrity Heads’. Fancy feast Food is love, food is life! Get creative with a charcuterie board (a.k.a a tasty platter). You could include cold meats like ham, cheese, fruit, crackers and whatever snacks you find yummy. Our faves include veggie sticks and fruit.…
