CELEBSPIRATION Laura Marano isn’t just talented, she’s smart! Laura opened up about juggling work with a degree majoring in philosophy, politics and law saying, “Usually people go to college and use that time to figure out what they want to do. But even though I already know, I still want to go to college and continue my education. In order to make substantial changes in a third-world country or countries with conflict, you really have to know about government. I’ve been wanting to learn more about law and governments – how the different kinds function. I thought this would be an awesome major to expand my knowledge in that area.” WORDS OF WISDOM “KEEP AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO TRY TO BELITTLE YOUR AMBITIONS. SMALL PEOPLE ALWAYS DO THAT, BUT THE REALLY GREAT MAKE…

Then by the time I decided to go, it just felt right on that day.” ELLE KING California-born Elle King has a voice as distinctive as her look and sings a…

SNAPCHAT NO-NOS

KEEP IT SHORT AND SIMPLE Snapchat is meant to be short and snappy, which means there is no need to post the same thing multiple times in your story. Photos should also be 3-5 seconds long, so don’t post a 10 second photo – that’s an eternity on Snapchat! On the flipside, don’t waste your followers’ time with a 1-second snap that they’ll barely be able to see. WATCH THE TIMER ON YOUR VIDEO THERE’S NOTHING WORSE THAN WATCHING A VIDEO ON SNAPCHAT AND HAVING IT END MID-SENTENCE. ALSO, MAKE SURE THAT YOU’RE NOT COVERING THE SPEAKER WHEN YOU’RE RECORDING A VIDEO. MUTE VIDEOS CAN BE ARTSY BUT MOST OF THE TIME THEY JUST MAKE US THINK THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM! DON’T OVERSHARE KEEP YOUR STORIES TO LESS THAN 100 SECONDS. YOUR FOLLOWERS DON’T…

Chloë Grace Moretz IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!

She is one of the coolest young actors Hollywood has seen for a while, but even with a decade of acting experience, Chloë Moretz hasn’t let her fame and critical success go to her head and is always trying to challenge herself as an actor. We’ve seen her in films such as Hugo and If I Stay, and in her already impressive career she’s had experience acting in so many different genres including horror, action and serious drama. Next we are going to see her in a whole new light in The 5th Wave, the new post-apocalyptic thriller based on the bestselling novel of the same name. In The 5th Wave, Chloë plays Cassie, a 16-year-old who is forced to grow up really fast when the Earth is all but destroyed by…

KARAN KICKS ON!

Apart from the setting, how different is Bunk’d from Jessie I think Bunk’d is going to be a little different from Jessie because the original characters that we all loved are now growing up and we get to see that happen. On top of that we’re also introducing new characters and personalities that the fans are going to love. Overall, fans can expect a lot of new friendships, relationships and craziness! Are you personally more of a wilderness camp guy or a fancy penthouse guy? I haven’t gone camping very often but I think I would be more of a wilderness camp guy than a fancy penthouse one. We hear that your nickname on the Bunk’d set is “Gramps”. What is the story behind that? It’s true my nickname on set is…

How is The Evermoor Chronicles different from the mini-series Evermoor? It’s definitely still got the same foundation; it’s got a lot more magical aspects and it’s got new characters.

It gets quite dark and scary towards the last few episodes of the series, which is cool. It has that magical and scary element to it. There are a lot of twists, I wish I could tell you because there’s so much going on! From heartbreak to adventure – there’s loads. It takes you on a huge journey.

FRIDAY BARNES IS BACK!

“FRIDAY HAD HANDCUFFED HERSELF TO THE LEG OF HER DESK AND SPENT TWO HOURS TWIDDLING WITH THE TUMBLERS ONE AT A TIME TO NO AVAIL.” Two weeks later Friday and Melanie were still getting used to the new free-form curriculum. As part of their general studies class, they had been told to teach themselves an important life skill. So Melanie had taught herself how to get dressed without getting out of bed, an invaluable skill on a cold winter’s morning. And Friday had been trying to teach herself how to pick the lock on a pair of handcuffs with a paperclip. Friday had handcuffed herself to the leg of her desk and spent two hours twiddling with the tumblers one at a time to no avail. She finally gave up when the…

Other than that, she looks stunning!”– Steph “Her dress is nice but I think it would look better if it was less puffy and she had a different hairstyle.”– Audrey KEIRA KNIGHTLEY “Her dress is nice but I think it would have looked nicer if it were a different colour, like black instead of the green.

STYLE ADVICE FROM THE STARS!

INDIVIDUALITY/ AND EXPRESSION “Fashion is just an extension of my personality, and my personality is in my music so they intertwine. They are both creative art projects… If nobody was looking I would still dress the exact same way. I’ve always dressed up and made clothes since I was a little girl. It’s who I am and what I love.” - GWEN STEFANI “EVEN WHEN I GO… WHERE NO ONE IS GOING TO SEE ME, I ENJOY PICKING OUT CLOTHES… I DO IT FOR MYSELF BECAUSE I ENJOY FASHION.

KEEP YOUR NAILS STRONG!

WHAT YOUR NAILS ARE TELLING YOU: Sometimes white spots appear on your nails. It’s a myth that these flecks indicate a vitamin deficiency. The most common cause is an injury to the nail matrix, which lies under the skin. When the matrix gets damaged, the injury leaves a scar on the keratin cells, which looks white when the cells grow through to the nail. Having really soft nails can be caused by a lack of calcium. If you have a deficiency it can often be seen on your nails. Many people whose hands are in and out of water have a problem with brittle nails. Brittle nails appear if there’s a lack of moisture; they typically don’t flex and feel hard. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies have also been shown to be a cause…

SCENTED SACHETS

SLIGHTLY CRINGEWORTHY PRETTY BLUSHWORTHY MEGA EMBARRASSING MUDDY MAKEOVER I am a bit of a tomboy, so when my older sister told me it was time for a makeover, I agreed to her giving me one. Before school she did my hair really nicely and even primped me with pretty bows. When I was walking to the bus stop it started to rain really heavily! Before I got to the shelter, a car zoomed past and all of this muddy water sprayed up and completely soaked me. I had to spend half the day at school soaked and completely embarrassed. GENEVIEVE FALL FOR YOU I was in P.E class where we were running around the school oval. I got distracted by my crush running in front of me and the next thing I know, I’m on the ground…

Sadly, 60,000 unwanted pets are put down in NSW each year due to abandonment or from being surrendered to shelters. Sutherland Animal Shelter is a no-kill shelter, with volunteers working hard to make furry visitors and longer-stay residents happy and healthy. Graphic designer Chris Croker from Surry Hills found a seven-year-old female staffie on the street late one night and took it to the Sutherland centre, even though he wanted to keep her. After waiting anxiously for two weeks, Chris got the green light to take her home. She now goes to work with…

2016... bring it on!

STICK WITH IT Everyone is different, but many psychologists believe it takes around 21 days to make or break a habit – three weeks isn’t that hard, is it? Try to use the school holidays to get yourself into a new routine that will give you the best chance of following through on your resolution once you head back to school and your other commitments – we all know that life can be pretty distracting! It’s important to remember to not be too hard on yourself if you do get distracted by school or friends, or if you aren’t progressing as quickly as you’d like. Don’t give up – the harder you work for it, the better it will feel when you finally achieve it! Choose you r goals If this is the…

YOU’RE MY HERO DUCHESS CATHERINE MIDDLETON

WHY SHE’S A HERO Duchess Catherine Middleton, better known as Kate, works in support of organisations, which reflect her personal charitable and philanthropic interests. She does this through her own charity, The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, and through supporting other charities by promoting their work as their Royal patron. In March 2011 she and her husband set up a gift fund to allow well-wishers who want to give them a wedding gift to donate money to charities they care about. The gift fund supported 26 charities of the couple’s choice, incorporating the armed forces, children, the elderly, art, sport and conservation. Even before becoming part of the royal family Kate used her time for charity work. Before starting university she spent some time…
