all about me MY FAVOURITE THING about school is spending time with my besties, and my least favourite thing is having to do the hard work! I AM A PART OF A NETBALL TEAM AND DANCE SCHOOL. Netball is great fun and we win the majority of our games. Dancing is the best because my best friend, Ashleigh, helps me and we push each other to be the best we can be. THE MOST RECENT COOL THING I DID WAS go on a cruise! I met some amazing people and had a lot of fun! IN MY GROUP OF FRIENDS there are about 10 of us and we do a lot of fun things together. We like going to the movies, holding birthday surprises, and lots more! MY HOBBIES INCLUDE…

I’ll even have nightmares about them!” We have to agree with her - the slimy little critters are pretty gross!

Quick CHAT What is your favourite Disney movie? “My favourite movie was probably Sleeping Beauty, just because it had Maleficent in it - she’s my favourite villain - also because I loved the fairies and the dragon. So it’s really interesting that I am now playing Maleficent’s daughter in Descendants. Out of some of the newer movies I think my favourites are either Frozen or Tangled.” Did you enjoy filming Descendants? “Descendants was probably one of the most fun projects I’ve ever worked on. I had a cast who were all my peers so that was really fun for me. It sort of felt like we were back at school together. We were all hanging out and we were all very close. It was an incredibly fun set.” If you…

Yes to YouTube Social media can be loads of fun and a great way to keep in touch with your friends, but there’s also a downside. Bethany was being cyber-bullied by other girls, who wrote mean things about her online. As a way to make herself feel better, she started posting videos on YouTube to give her back some of her confidence. “When I was 13 years old, I was dealing with bullying,” she explains.“I lost so many of my friends for me doing nothing wrong, so I felt really alone at the time…I had actually always wanted to make videos,” – and the rest is history. Hauling IT IN Beth goes shopping at affordable American stores like Forever 21, H&M and JC Penny and posts ‘haul’ videos about the…

I also like being at home. I love staying in bed and watching movies all day long.” KENDALL JENNER: “My way to de-stress is either listen to music or talk to my big sister, Kourtney.” Get GIGGLING Have you ever heard the saying, laughter is the best medicine? Well, it’s true! The best way to cheer…

Hey Tori, can you tell us how you got involved in music? “My parents are both music lovers so music has pretty much been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I first started singing when I was three, or so my parents tell me. It wasn’t until I was about 15 when I really discovered song writing and took it more seriously.” So, you've always wanted to be a singer? “Yeah, I remember in kindergarten when the teacher asked all the kids what they wanted to be when they grew up, I said I wanted to be a singer. There was never really a plan B for me, I knew what I wanted to do and stuck to it.” Tell us about your album…

Stop The Chip! It’s so annoying when you apply the perfect coat of nail polish, only for it to last a day or two before it starts to chip. To help make your manicure last longer, try this: Start with clean, buffed nails, then brush on a base coat - this makes it easier for the polish to stick. Keeping the coats thin, apply two layers of colour, (be sure to let each layer dry before applying the next coat), and finally, seal with a top coat and refresh the top coat every second day!

ALL ABOUT THE... shark Sharks are fish with replaceable teeth. A shark can grow and use over 20,000 teeth in its lifetime. Their smell and hearing abilities are so strong, they can sense prey from many kilometres away. Baby sharks are called pups and are born with fully-fledged sets of teeth. They are also able to feed and live on their own. They don’t have a single bone in their bodies. Instead they have a skeleton made up of cartilage; the same tissue that makes up human ears and noses.
