However, I think we all fall into the trap of ‘doing nothing’
when winter comes around. So in this month’s issue, we
bring you tips and tricks for winter (and some for summer
too!)
- Try not to fall into the habit of waking up at 10 each morning of the holidays!
- Even though it’s winter, try to stay active! Don’t just lounge around all day
- Eat and drink hot food
- Dress appropriately! Even if you miss summer, don’t wear shorts & a t-shirt!
- Snuggle up with blankets & hoodies etc.
- Enjoy a break from the 30+ heat
Follow these tips and you may just have a better winter
than your last!
Hey I'm Zoe! I’m from Melbourne, 14, play netball heaps & love shopping
1. Have a movie night with your best
friends including hot chocolate &
heaps of blankets.
2. Fill the back of a Ute with pillows,
cushions & sleeping bags, drive to
the middle of nowhere and
stargaze.
3. Go ice-skating.
4. Have a bonfire and toast
marshmallows.
5. Make smores.
6. Stay in your pyjamas all day.

Winter calls for hoodies, tracksuit pants, slippers and any other piece
of warm clothing! The best thing about winter clothes is that
they’re so comfy! For the winter season, instead of trying to
look stylish, just GO FOR COMFORT! Who cares if you go
outside in uggs? Just be comfortable and warm!
of warm clothing. The best thing about winter clothes is that they’re
so comfy! For the winter season, instead of trying to look stylish, just
GO FOR COMFORT! Who cares if you go outside in your uggs?
Just be comfortable and & warm!
Check out these stores for winter items! They’re good quality & an
affordable price! Most of them are available in stores as well as online
- So that’s always a bonus!
Dressing Practically For Winter
DO wear tracksuit
pants! They’re a great
alternative to jeans or
leggings & they’re
also super comfy!
DO wear long
sleeved tops &
jumpers! Also try
knitted jumpers. If
you’re going to wear
a t-shirt or singlet,
make sure you’ve got
a nice warm jumper
for on top!
DO wear boots, uggs,
runners or any other closed
toe shoe! In fact, many
people feel fine wearing
open toed shoes in winter
as well as summer. Shoes
are great as there are so
many possibilities!
DON’T wear
shorts or skirts
unless you’re
going to be inside
where it is warm!
Outside, you’ll
freeze!
DON’T go places
without taking a
jumper (or spare
jumper) in your bag!
You never know when
the weather could
change.
DON’T wear socks that are
at risk of being too tight to
bed. They can cause you to
have bad circulation. Wear
socks that are a
comfortable tightness.
Hey I’m Hannah! I’m 15, love hanging out with friends,
photography and the beach.

basics everyone needs!
Many of us are probably
counting down till those long, sunny days, the beach & pools, shorts & t-shirts and mostly, just summer in itself! But with summer also comes the bad things – those weeks with 35+ days every day, sunburn and flies! There are items though, to make your summer better. Starting with suitable clothing, which includes - t-shirts, singlets, shorts, bathers, thongs and anything else to keep you happy. Sandals are good too
if you’re looking for a less casual look! Printed tees are becoming more popular so grab some of them if you can! Sunburn can easily be avoided – with sunscreen! One patch of sunburn
can cause skin cancer and no one wants that. If you’re out of insect repellent soak lavender oil on a sponge for 24 hours, it’ll keep the flies away!
Don’t be afraid to wear anything that
makes you comfortable in winter, or for any season on that matter! Surviving winter (regarding clothing) is simply about being prepared. You can’t except to be warm if you go out in a hail storm in summer clothes! Dress appropriately and you’ll be fine.
Also make sure you’re nice and warm for bed. Isn’t it the worst when you wake up in the middle of the night freezing cold but can’t be bothered getting up to get a blanket!? Argh it sucks! Even if you don’t think you’ll get cold it’s a good idea to keep extra blankets on the end of your bed.
Keep your hands and head warm with beanies and gloves. Mittens are great as well.

Spring is one of those ‘in-
between’ seasons when it’s not too hot but not too cold. Frustrating right!? But it’s also great, as you can wear your summer & winter clothes. For example – a summer singlet with a winter hoodie works great in winter!
My name is Jenna & I am 15 years old. I’m a Greek-
Italian who loves photography. I live on the
beach – like all good aussies should!
Spring is also known for its gorgeous
colours. Don’t be afraid to wear bold
colours and experiment with different styles. Flowers are also
great to wear and put around your room or house!
@sunset.boutique

@vertigothelabel
We sell coin and pineapple chockers which are poplar her in NZ and

Finding your true friends The perfect picnic with
friends
Types of friends
Activities to do with
friends in all seasons Are you a clingy friend?
Pets are friends too!
In the teen years,
finding new friends
is great! However
for some, it can
sometimes be a
challenge. Many
people will change
their friendship
group each year of
school but still keep
in touch with their
old friends. And
don’t worry, this is
totally normal! A
lot of people say
that you find your
true friendship
group in year 9 or
10 but some have
been friends for
longer – which is
fine! The main
thing about friends
is just making sure
that you become
friends with people
that you feel
comfortable and
happy around.
True friends
shouldn’t make you
feel nervous or
intimidate you. You
should feel free
around your
friends. And
remember what
they say! - The
uglier the Snapchat,
the closer the
friendship! Make
weird faces and
comments in front
of your friends,
chances are, they’ll
have a laugh, not
care at all, then do
the same!

BEST FRIEND I think everyone knows
what a bestie is! Someone who you can
share almost everything with and be absolutely
crazy around!
KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR EVER FRIEND
These are those friends that you’ve known for almost your whole life but don’t get to see
them too often. Could be because you went to
different schools or even just because you feel out of
touch. LIKE SISTERS FRIEND
This is when you and your best friend have taken it even further and become practically sisters! You do everything together and are the bestest of best
friends.
NOT SO CLOSE ANYMORE FRIEND
It’s normal to fall out of contact with lots of your
friends. Making the change from primary school to high
school is an example of when you fall out of contact with some of your friends.
NOT FRIENDS Most people will have
someone that they dislike for a reason. And that’s
normal. But then again – don’t worry if you don’t dislike anyone! Disliking
certain people is something that many people will
experience throughout life
KINDA FRIENDS These are those
friends that you don’t necessarily hang out with but still give a
friendly hello or smile when you walk past
A lot of people will have friends similar to some of these!
THE PERFECT PICNIC WITH
FRIENDS
BRING: MINI SANDWICHES, FRUIT SALAD,
CUPCAKES OR MUFFINS, LOLLIES, SAVOURY
BISCUITS & CHIPS

Having a clingy friend can eventually
become frustrating if they start to interfere with your everyday tasks. But what’s even
classified as clingy? We asked some of you for answers and received some great input!
Take some time to
actually read these,
they’re quite informative
Many of us have or
will experience
a clingy friend
Imagine you’re being told that you’re clingy
and try to avoid any way that would hurt your
feelings.
Intrude her to other people.
Reduce the time you spend with her if you’re always together.
Before approaching your friend, assess
whether she is actually clingy or not.
Inform her that you’re quite busy and
sometimes need some alone time without her. Try not to directly say that you think she is
clingy
Don’t just start ignoring everything your friend says or does as this will
make her upset.
If your friend is upset or stressed, they can become
clingier. However only approach them if they’re
constantly clingy
AND SOMETIMES BEST FRIENDS!
Having your pet as your friend or best friend is something that a lot of people have in common. Everyone loves their pets and has a strong bond between them. The cutest thing about owner and pet relationships
is that neither of them have ever understood each other’s language! Yet, there is still such a strong bond. Many of us love having a good old chat to our pets, even if they don’t respond.

Exercising is a very
important part of our
daily lives. Even just
walking to your
locker, or to the fridge
or walking home
counts as exercise!
Many of us will also
do a physical activity
after school as well,
which is a great way
to get some exercise!
There are many
benefits of exercise.
Some of which
include…
Keeps you healthy.
Feel good about
yourself.
Gets you more fit.
Gives you something
to do instead of just
being online.
Good for you!
So why not exercise?
Well, there are many
reasons, the main one
being that most of us
just can’t be bothered!
However, committing
yourself and making a
schedule for exercising
is a great way to make
sure that you do it.
Our bodies love
exercise, so keep on
moving!
If you’re stuck at home or struggling to
find exercises, try this!

Yes, it can be hard to motivate yourself to exercise,
especially in winter! However, our own mind is usually our
bodies’ biggest limiter! Push yourself as much as you can so
that you can then look back and be really happy with
yourself. Don’t let your mind tell you that you can’t or that
you must stop, let your body decide that by letting your
body…
Making excuses is easy, taking action over them isn’t!
Setting achievable goals is a great way to loose or
maintain your body weight. For your goals to be successful, you must be motivated! Motivation can be gained from lots of little things. Even something as simple as listening to fitness music can get you motivated! But your biggest motivator is yourself. Try to motivate yourself to achieving your goals. Remember to make those goals, realistic so that you feel good when you reach them and don’t feel upset if your never reach them. Mini goals are good too. This is having smaller goals that you finish quicker. Either way, any type of goal is a good goal and a good way to keep you fit and healthy.

Blur + Co are a new group of kids who are
getting together to create YouTube films!
They are currently working on The Hunger
Games and it will be released soon. Follow
them at @blurcoproductions for
more information!
Who doesn’t love a good tutorial? Tutorials are great for
any time of year; they are also great for DIY crafts,
decorations and helpful tips. The following DIY tutorials
are taken form Pinterest, a much loved tutorial site used
by many. Pinterest has tutorials, tips and tricks and
handy hints for almost everything. It also has recipes,
things to see and do and lots of other awesome info!
Head to www.pinterest.com to have a look!
This is a simple idea for a
gift. Write messages or
coupons in hearts and
then draw over them in
white crayons. Then, go
over the messages in any
type of paint. Once dry,
the paint is able to be
easily scratched off
without removing the
writing. It is a lovely but
simple idea!
For these shorts, flick bleach at them (or paint the bleach
directly on if you’re good with making splatter patterns!)
Once dry, colour in the bleach with highlighters. This will
only last a couple of washes, however try using beetroot
and it will stain forever!
This tutorial is pretty self-
explanatory. Paint your nails
with clear polish and then dip
into glitter. Wipe away the
sides with nail polish remover.
Clouds lights are
actually super
easy! Simple use
a hot glue gun to
glue stuffing or
fluff around a
lantern. Most
lanterns come
with lights in
them, but if not,
you can just use a
mini torch light
or flameless
candle! Once
you’ve glued
enough around,
you’re done.
Try these simple life hacks…
