when you hear the term ‘gap year’, thoughts of travelling through Europe or America with a heavy backpack and well-worn pair of sneakers spring to mind, right? Sure, while traditionally a gap year means taking a break between school and uni to holiday at various spots around the globe, that’s so not your only option… YOU COULD: VOLUNTEER OVERSEAS The great thing about this kind of gap year is that it gives you a chance to see some of the world’s developing countries – ones you might never think to put on your holiday itinerary during a standard vacay. In places like Bolivia, Tanzania, Sri Lanka, Madagascar and Nepal you can get involved in projects ranging from agriculture and farming to journalism, human rights and health care. It’s a great…

“WHAT YOU GET BY ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS WHAT YOU BECOME BY ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS.”Ashley Benson 5 MINS WITH… ISABELLE CORNISH WE HIT UP THE WELLNESS ADVOCATE AND UBER BABE FOR HER BEST LIFE HACKS TO HELP US LIVE A LITTLE HEALTHIER ERRYDAY. You’re running late for school and have no time to make a healthy lunch. What’s the best thing to grab on the go? A piece of fruit, handful of nuts, and a wholegrain sandwich with a healthy spread like natural peanut butter. Exam stress is getting to you. What’s the quickest way to chill? Take three deep breaths. If you have 10 minutes lie on your back and relax each of the muscles in your body, one by one. You never remember to…

Your assignment list is longer than your arm, your room is so messy you can’t remember what the floor looks like and you have 21 unread messages on your phone. Oh, and you should probably exercise and eat a vegetable sometime this century too. Maybe if you never sleep again you’ll get it all done… nah, scrap that. It’s possible to do (almost) all the things, (almost) all at once without falling apart. Let’s break it down with the help of Kim Smith, health and wellness expert at Standing Strong (girlsstandingstrong.com). Healthy food vs treats “As cliché as it is, everything in moderation works,” Kim says. “Remember, your body is doing incredible things for you and needs to be nourished and looked after. If you get into a good habit…

ITCHY AFTERWARDS I’m 16 and whenever I have sex I never enjoy it. I always feel itchy afterwards (even if I have sex without a condom). What can I do to feel more comfortable with sex? No fun So, because the irritation occurs even without a condom it’s obviously not a latex allergy. It is actually possible to be allergic to some proteins in your partner’s semen. However that should be solved by not coming into contact with semen when using a condom. Which means it’s not that either. Lack of natural lubrication may also cause itching, so if you’re not in the mood that may make symptoms worse. A water-based lube may help here. It could also be a problem with changes in acidity level – soap can affect…

“It’s crazy to believe that on the other side of the world there are people who are fans of us” No-one was more excited than I was to hear that my all-time fave YouTube duo were heading back to Australia for a string of brand new (and totally hilarious) shows in celebration of their second feature film, Joe & Caspar Hit the Road USA. In fact, I was so excited that when it was time to chat to them I resorted to interviewing them over the phone in the middle of a busy train station, during peak hour, while huddled in the corner of a random store. Personally, I reckon it was totally worth it. Hey what’s up guys! We’re so excited about your new movie. Joe: Hey! Yeah,…

YOU WILL NEED: * T-shirt * Scissors * Pencil * Needle * Thread We found ours at Spotlight! 1 Type your fave word/font and print it out, so it’s about 8cm long. Make sure the text is very dark. 2 Place it under your T-shirt, securing with one hand while tracing with the other. 3 There are many ways to stitch your embroidery. We backstitched, where every time your needle exits the fabric, you take the tip of the needle back into the end of the last stitch. Your needle will come out where you want your next stitch to end. Make sure you don’t pull your thread too tight. Once you have finished, iron the design so your embroidery lies flat. Voila! Share yours online #gfimadeit…

BLOCKED I've been having trouble pooing lately. I used to be fine, but in the last few months my poo just hasn’t been very frequent. I’m sure my diet has stayed the same, so I’m not sure what the cause is. I only poo once a day now, sometimes only once every two days. It’s also very hard. How do I fix it? Straining If your diet hasn’t changed, hard poo (we call it constipation) may indicate that your fluid intake is too low. Your bowel is programmed to absorb enough water back from your bowel contents to keep your body hydrated. So increasing your water intake will reduce the amount reabsorbed and soften your poo. Straining when poo is hard can also cause problems like splitting of the skin…

THE GF GUY PANEL WHAT DOES “VPL” STAND FOR? Once again I have no idea. Jaxon Never heard of it. Sam Vexing Phantom Llamas? Patrick Visible penis line! Josh Vegas Players Lounge. Angus WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “CONTOURING” AND “NON-TOURING?” I have absolutely no clue haha. Jaxon Contouring is using colours to shape your face, but no clue what non-touring is. Sam Contouring takes effort, non-touring should be shamed. Patrick Initially I thought contouring was a bird, but thanks to Google non-touring is a much softer look ;) Josh Is this when your girlfriend cons you into going on a Sex and the City tour, versus you not falling for the con? Angus IF A GIRL HAS “OMBRE” HAIR, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? “Hombre” without the “H”? Jaxon When her…

Be confident Walking into a room full of busy strangers can seem daunting, but carrying yourself with confidence and a smile always makes a better first impression than dragging your feet and avoiding eye contact. Be a sponge Suss what the industry you’re interested in is really like – be observant, ask questions. Do that in a few different places and you’ll soon find out what sorts of jobs work for you – and what ones don’t! Be passionate and postitive So it’s day one, you’ve been asked to clean a cupboard, and it feels like your mum’s just asked you to make your bed. During my first ever internship at a major glossy mag, I was asked to go through a room literally stacked to the ceiling with piles…

SO. MUCH. PRESSURE. OMG HALP! Come exam time there can be a lot of pressure because of expectations from family, teachers, and even yourself. It can seem overwhelming and Vikki recommends some chill. “You need to be able to wind down after studying.” Eat nutritiously to help with concentration – turn to page 71 for ideas for study snacks – and drink plenty of water. “Sleeping properly is an important part of letting your mind switch off too,” Vikki adds. She suggests meditation to help you catch zzzs. Slowing your breathing before an exam is a simple way to calm those nerves too. It lowers your blood pressure, creates mindfulness and promotes feelings of relaxation. Another thing that helps with pressure? A bit of perspective. Exams aren’t EVERYTHING (yes, really).…

A lot of you will remember waiting for your first period and thinking, “Hmm, I wonder what it’ll feel like.” Then one day you go, “Right. THAT’S what it’s like. OMG WHYYYYY.” Whether it’s Mum handing you a pad from her own stash (as you say to yourself, “Um, it’s the size of a mattress”) or worrying about leakage, stressing about smells, struggling with tampons, or literally doubled over with pain, there’s things you can do to help with your period dramz (yes, really). THE SITCH: You’re leaking Happens to around 99.9 per cent of us girls, so don’t worry if it happens to you. A stain on your clothes can feel embarrassing, especially at school, but people are understanding about it (the jumper around the waist trick has been…

How Can I Tell Them? I’m bi and I want to tell my parents, but I can’t find the right time to do it. My grandfather died earlier this year and there were financial problems, so I never found the time to say anything. But when I do find the time, what should I say so I don’t upset them? Coming out Good that you waited until family issues were sorted. Rather than blurting out “I’m bisexual!”, you could ease them into it – mention you’ve been to a LGBTI event, liked the way a movie handled the bisexuality of a character, or comment that a celebrity coming out as bi resonated with you. Reassure them that you’re certain and still the same person, just one who’s being more open…
