Rosie We like to catch up over a big Christmas lunch, then we spend the afternoon watching Christmas movies with our full bellies! Sandra We get together, open presents, have delicious food and then have a water bomb fight outside – if it’s hot enough! Sweet deliveries! Team TG got to enjoy this sweet surprise thanks to Batiste. Chocolate covered strawberries?! What a special treat! Izzy My nan makes a big Christmas lunch for the whole family. My fave part is eating the trifle and pudding. Then we play board games! Rebekah We have a massive feast on Christmas Eve and then we do a family talent show... I’ll probs do a TikTok dance this year as my act! Pony time We also celebrated the (at home) movie premiere of…

We know and love her as Evie from the Descendants movies, but Sofia Carson has a new role to sing about! With a cool new song, she’s also the voice of Princess Pipp in the My Little Pony: A New Generation movie! Out now on Netflix. Hey Sofia! What can you tell us about your new movie? It follows these ponies, who are the littlest ponies with the smallest voices but who make the biggest change in their world by choosing to accept each other, and by choosing to celebrate each other’s differences. It’s such a beautiful and powerful message now more than ever. No matter how little or small you are, you can change our great big world by simply choosing love. We have a duty as storytellers to…

WHAT YOU NEED ✦ ½ cup white chocolate melts ✦ 1 packet of round frosted biscuits (we used Arnott’s Tic Toc biscuits) ✦ 1 packet of marshmallows ✦ 1 packet of chocolate freckles ✦ 1 packet of musk Lifesavers lollies WHAT TO DO 1 Melt some white chocolate by heating it in a bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Next, stick a chocolate freckle to the top of the marshmallow. 3 Ask an adult to help you chop musk Lifesavers lollies in half. Take a half and use white…

Neuschwanstein Castle Perched on top of a rugged hill in Germany, is a 19th-century palace that looks like something straight out of a fairy tale. Nope, you won’t find Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella here (although many say Walt Disney did use the castle as inspiration). It was in fact, built for the King of Bavaria centuries ago! Faerie Glen This magical place of Isle of Skye, Scotland, is filled with green fields, grassy hills and pretty waterfalls. You’ll feel like you’re in a fantasy world! The unusual place holds many mythical tales, legends and stories that give it the common name, Fairy Glen. Alnwick Castle This castle may look familiar to a young witch or wizard. It’s the real-life castle in Northumberland, England, that apparently inspired the set for the…

Hi TG, My name is Radha and I’m nine. I love Harry Potter, Billie Eilish, baking, climbing trees at the park and your FABULOUS magazines. They keep me super entertained since we’ve had six or seven lockdowns. My friends and I love our fidgets, especially Pop Its. A couple of friends and I always talk about Total Girl. Never stop making your magazines! Love your number 1 fan, Radha Hi Radha, Awww thank you so much for writing in. Such a cool photo! We hope this issue keeps you entertained over the holidays. Love, Team TG x Hey TGs! I’m Hunter and I’m a HUGE FAN!!! My cousins Neve and Lila, introduced me to your mag and they love your mags even more than I do (if that’s possible because…

Encanto A girl with no gift becomes the last hope! Encanto is Disney’s newest animation jam-packed with magical moments and adventure! The tale follows the peculiar Madrigal family who resides in Encanto, a hidden gem in the mountains of Colombia. The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift, from super strength to the power to heal – every child except one, 15-year-old Mirabel. She is a normal teen with normal dreams but struggles to find her place in the family. When she discovers that the magic surrounding the Encanto is in danger, Mirabel might just be her family’s last hope. Stephanie Beatriz, who you may know from In The Heights, voices the role of Mirabel in this extraordinary, enchanted film! In cinemas…

Hey Liza! Tell us about your character Zipp. I play Zipp Storm and I am biased, but she is my favourite character. Zipp is super feisty, sarcastic, and dry. She’s in her power, she knows her truth and is not afraid to live it. She also stands up for herself and she fights for what she loves, which is love. Zipp has this amazing energy, and the independence that she exudes is something that I think is so important for kids and adults to see – and to know that they can be that in their own lives. It is always enough. What excites you about the role? This story has parallels with our world today and messages that kids need to hear, but also adults need to be reminded…

Hey Ariana! You play Tabitha, baby Tina’s older sister, tell us about her. She’s a very smart and wise girl. She’s also growing up too quick which Tim doesn’t like, but you see that relationship blossom. Are there any similarities between you and Tabitha? I’m probably not as shy as her but I definitely have her sense of humour. Luckily Tom, the director, let me have some freedom with her jokes, which is pretty exciting. So, I’d like to see my humour peeking through her. Tabitha is a secret science whizz; do you have any hidden talents? A lot of people don’t know that I love crocheting and making blankets! I also love cooking even if it’s just a random recipe that makes no sense and fails. You sing two…

Yaass, time to put away those Halloween decorations and bring out the tinsel: it’s summer, the silly season, and school holidays all rolled into one! I can’t wait to finish all those books I started (guilty!), have a picnic outside with the newest TG mag, and spend as much time as I can with family. Oh and eat fruit, ALL the summer fruits! Mango, pineapple, strawberries – it’s no surprise my fave beauty prods are packed with a fruity twist, the inspo behind this month’s glam haul! So, enjoy the scents of summer, and don’t forget to wear: ❤ Your brightest colours ❤ Plenty of sunscreen (so important) ❤ You biggest smile!…

Enjoy magic moments:  If it’s a warm night, ask your ’rents if you can enjoy dinner outside so you can catch the sunset or twinkling stars. Build a fairy garden:  For the cutest DIY project ever! Lay down some pretty rocks, bright flowers, or craft your own mini toadstool. Sing: Out loud and to your fave tunes! Who says life can’t be a magical musical? It also makes chores much more enjoyable. LOL!…

Fun fabric Got some spare fabric lying around? This neat idea can be reused over and over again. It’s also perfect for bundling small items together – wrap the fabric around them and tie some ribbon around the ends to hold it in place, like a small pouch! Pretty paper Create your own wrapping paper using coloured paper, paint, stamps or glitter. You could even cut out pics from old Total Girl mags and glue them on. So spesh! Perfect poster Wrap a small box using a TG mega poster, that comes free with the mag! Wrap it neatly so your friend can hang the poster up afterwards.…

For a limited time, you can get up close and personal with these totally adorable cubbies through their very own 24/7 live stream.

This pup is super lucky because Miso’s owner is Momona Tamada (a.k.a Claudia Kishi…

Colourful and inspiring! By reading the small sample of Real Magic, I already felt engaged with the book and ready to learn more. I liked the involvement of captions and images of Ash’s childhood. I have seen heaps of vlogs with Ash Magic and his amazing tricks. I loved the colour and the quotes that make the book so much more interesting and easier to focus on. To sum it all off, I loved reading the extract to this book and cannot wait to see the finished product! – TG reader Charlotte Spellbinding read I absolutely love it when stars get the chance to produce content other than their usual stuff and Ash Magic defs slayed the book game with this fantastic guide! Real Magic focuses on (of course) real…

Puppy love I was at netball training with my team, and one of my best friends pointed out that my puppy had chewed a hole in my shorts! The whole team looked at me, including the coach!!! OMTG! Anonymous Net fail I was with my friend and we were racing to get in line for a tennis game. I tried jumping over the net but I tripped and whacked my arm on the metal part! It hurt so much and all my friends were watching! Milla Yawn like a lion! Once at school assembly, I was getting tired and bored from all the singing but when I went on stage, I had to talk in the huge microphone. Instead of talking, I did a big yawn! LOL, it was soooo…

LISTEN UP! ‘Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)’ Elton John and Dua Lipa Two disco legends join forces to create what we think is one the best tracks to boogie to in 2021! The synths, vocals and catchy percussion brings us back to a time where summer afternoons were spent dancing in the sun. If you want more of this disco vibe, be sure to catch Dua Lipa on her 2022 world tour (see page 26!). Grab your roller skates and get dancing to this fire track! Out now ‘ Halfway’ Mimi Webb Up and coming UK sensation, Mimi Webb, comes through with this powerful track, ‘Halfway’. A single from her debut EP, Seven Shades of Heartbreak, this song tells the story of embracing new beginnings. In fact, her EP is full…

Sofia Carson “Sofia Carson is so ridiculously talented. She has this amazing song in the middle of the movie called ‘Glowin’ Up’ and it’s so beautifully done. She’s such an icon and a pop star sensation so she was the perfect casting for this role.” Kimiko Glenn “She is one of my closest friends, we’ve worked together before and lived together. So to live, eat and breathe with her in real life and through animation is just an absolute dream. She poured life into this character. I’m proud of my pony friend.” Vanessa Hudgens “I’ve been a fan of Vanessa for a long time so to do a movie together is pretty fun and she absolutely crushed it. She carried us through the messages that we needed to learn throughout…

You prefer silver jewellery over gold. Moths… birds… things that fly kinda freak you out! You’d choose a sunny day over a winter’s day every time. PROBS NOT Forget sneaking around, you’ve got people to see and places to be in the daytime! Plus, you’ll probs miss real food too much. Now, pass the pizza! START HERE You’d choose garlic bread over cheesy bread any day. Super speed is way more fun than hypnotism. You’re an expert at being quiet and tiptoeing around. MAYBE It defs sounds like fun, but there’s also waaaay too many rules to follow. Why have cool powers if you can’t show them off to your human friends? Rules for Vampires is out Nov 17! You know all the best hiding places in your house. BOO!…
