Innholdsfortegnelse for December 2014 i It GiRL

Hello It GiRLs, What a busy month we've had putting together the December issue for you! Firstly, our annual Christmas Wish List is back and better than ever. We've had so many games, toys, gadgets, DVDs, CDs, books and more sent to the office that's it's been hard to not get distracted with all the cool stuff and actually focus on working on the magazine. Plus if that's not enough, we've also had lots of cool clothes, accessories and beauty items land in our fashion cupboard for our fashion special which starts on page 37. So if we weren't playing with the latest gizmo, we were in the fashion cupboard trying on nail polish and lip gloss! Needless to say, as busy as this month has been for us, we've…

1 You spend most lunch times at school having water fights with your friends... even though you know it’s not allowed. 2 Ice-cream has become one of your primary (and most delicious) food groups. 3 You’d rather walk around in your undies than wear a pair of pants. Too hot! 4 You refuse to admit that you’re cold when you haven’t dressed warmly enough for a chilly day. 5 You spend your time at school day dreaming of going home and making the most of the daylight saving hours. 6 You get excited and straight into your cossie whenever dad puts the sprinkler on. 7 Every time mum or dad stop at a petrol station, you have to have a Slurpee. So yummy and refreshing! 8 Summer means... summer holidays!…

meet: Eve all about me My family and I recently went on a holiday to Hawaii! It was lots of fun and we got to stay at the Disney Resort in Honolulu. My best friend is Sienna; we have known each other since pre-school. When we are together we like to play with our dogs, make cubby houses and play with our dolls. When I am older I really want to be a zoo keeper so I can look after all the animals, especially the lions and tigers. On the weekends I enjoy going on bike rides with my dad. I’m really good at swimmming and hula hooping! I love One Direction and my fave is Niall. fact file AGE: 8 BIRTHDAY: July 11 SIBLINGS: An older sister called Madeline…
