The cream will absorb nicely, keeping your hands feeling smooth. “Sometimes when I can’t find the right words to say I’ll just translate it in makeup.

HI SHILOH! CONGRATS ON YOUR PART IN FEEL THE BEAT! WHAT WAS IT LIKE WORKING ON A FILM SO CENTRED ON DANCE? “Thank you! This was very different from other projects I've done as I've never physically had to prepare for a role like that. Netflix had us do a month of dance training before filming to get us ready. I had no dance experience so it was a challenge for me but so much fun! The first ASL [American Sign Language) I learned from my co-star, Shaylee were the signs for "hot" and "tired" because that's what I was! But by the end, I was too good at dancing for my character, so the choreographer added back in mistakes for me. We would always be dancing in between takes…

DIXIE’S NEW POP MUSIC Dixie D’amelio has released a brand new song called Be Happy, inspired by lockdown, staying home and dealing with changes to life because of the pandemic. “My hope is that anyone who listens can be reminded that it’s okay to feel what we feel,” the TikTok star explains, “It’s okay to have a bad day.

Where it all began The series might be new on Netflix, but The Baby-Sitters Club has actually been around for almost 35 years! The episodes you see today have been adapted from the legendary books of the same name. Written by Ann M. Martin, the original book series (published from 1986 to 1999) was about five very different friends from a town called Stoneybrook, Connecticut, who start a baby-sitting business together. The stories were told from the perspective of everyone in the club, and readers got to know the girls well – there were 131 books in the original series, plus 15 super specials, 36 mysteries and a lot of other special series releases, as well. Woah! The Netflix series only has 10 episodes, but you still get a really…

SOCIAL CELEBS NIA SIOUX Nia may have been in the public eye for over 10 years, but the star still gets hurt by nasty comments she sees online. After posting a video to Instagram one day, the comments made her cry, which is when Nia realised she had to find a way to rise above the haters.“Those comments don’t matter and those people are just haters out there who are either just jealous of you or just so negative.

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 cartliage; the same tissue that makes up human ears and noses. WEIRD, YET TRUE ANIMAL FACTS • Sea otters hold hands when they sleep to keep them from drifting apart from each other. • Seahorses mate for life, and when they travel they hold each other's tails.…
