DIXIE’S ALBUM NERVES Dixie D’Amelio has admitted that she gets nervous when people listen to her debut album. “I don’t play it for anyone. I get so nervous. I will not be in the room if someone’s listening. I have to leave,” she revealed. “I’m not that person who listens to their songs to be like,’ Hell, yeah!’ I just crawl into my shell and get so nervous.” She also said that she doesn’t take compliments very well. “I love the songs and I listen to them on my own, but I hate seeing other people’s reactions, even if they’re positive. I’m not a good person to accept compliments.” ZENDAYA’S COOKING MISHAP Zendaya had an unfortunate accident last month that resulted in her needing stitches! The actress shared photos…

OLIVIA RODRIGO GETTING INVOLVED IN STEM “GETTING INVOLVED IN STEM AS A GIRL CAN BE A LITTLE BIT SCARY, I’LL ADMIT. AS A STUDENT IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL I WAS ALWAYS DISCOURAGED FROM PARTAKING IN CHALLENGING MATH AND SCIENCE ACTIVITIES BECAUSE “GIRLS ARE BETTER AT ENGLISH AND HISTORY.” IF I WERE TO GIVE ADVICE TO MY YOUNGER SELF OR A YOUNGER GIRL FACING THE SAME DILEMMA, I WOULD ENCOURAGE THEM TO IGNORE THE NAYSAYERS AND PURSUE WHAT MAKES THEM HAPPY AND FULFILLED. SEEING OUT YOUR PASSIONS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY PERSONS DOUBT OR NEGATIVITY.” CAMILA CABELLO: THE SECRET TO A UNIQUE FASHION STYLE “Style is a form of expressing yourself. Wearing and following trends makes me feel like every other girl. Find something that’s unique to you – even if…

Hugs relieve stress Feeling overwhelmed by an upcoming spelling test or dance comp? If so, give someone a tight squeeze right now! Hugging a friend has shown to reduce the amount of cortisol (a stress hormone) in our bodies. You’ll feel more zen after just one hug – try it! They ease pain Remember when you were little and mum or dad gave you a hug when you fell over and scraped your knee? There’s a good reason why: Research shows that hugs soothe aches by increasing circulation to soft tissues, making you feel better. THEY LIFT MOODS AT THE SAME TIME THAT HUGS DECREASE CORTISOL, WRAPPING YOUR ARMS AROUND A LOVED ONE INCREASES SEROTONIN (A “HAPPY” HORMONE). SO, YOU’LL FEEL INSTANTLY MORE JOYFUL AFTER YOU HUG IT OUT! THEY…

Animals ALL ABOUT THE... Goldfish ● Goldfish come in lots of different sizes and colours. ● They're intelligent. They recognise the person who feeds them, and will react by swimming rapidly when they approach. ● They have a good sense of smell and hearing. ● They have teeth in their throat which helps them crush their food. ● A goldfish can live to be 25 years old. ● Goldfish do not have stomachs.

SEAT STUMBLE My two besties and I were going to the movies and we were running late. By the time we got our tickets and popcorn and went into the theatre, the lights were already out and it was dark. People were looking at us because we were taking ages to find our seats, so when we finally found them I was so eager to sit that I forgot to put my seat down before I sat! I let out a big squeal as I fell to the ground and the usher came running over to see if I was okay. I was completely embarrassed and my besties couldn’t stop laughing which made it even worse! PENNY, 12, VIC SNORING SISTER I had fallen asleep on the couch one day…

Your World WWW.ITGIRL-TECHHEAD.COM.AU SOCIAL CELEBS ADDISON RAE Social media star Addison Rae has had a crazy few years.
