Puppy love Emily is having a tough time at school, but when she meets a magical animal rescuer, everything changes. She is gifted with the most adorable yet… red little puppy who grows up to be a GIANT 10-foot dog, living in her small New York City apartment. With her mum out of town, Emily and her hilariously impulsive uncle Casey (Jack Whitehall, who you may recognise from Jungle Cruise), set out on an adventure in New York that will keep you on the edge of your seat. That’s not hard when you have a dog that can run 115km/h, eat 18.1 kilograms of dog food in a day, and showers using a fire hose! LOL! Based on the iconic book character, Clifford the Big Red Dog is our…

1. School bus Having a bus buddy is so much fun. To make one, pop yourself down next to a student from your school and share a funny story about your morning – maybe you walked out of your house with your uniform on backwards, or a fam member sprayed milk out of their nose at breakfast! Nothing funny happened? Ask them about their holidays! 2. Class The thing you really need to know about the first day of school is that everyone is nervous! Take a deep breath, smile, and introduce yourself to people in your new class. They’ll remember you for being friendly and confident, and you’ll quickly find out who you vibe with. 3. Canteen line Lunchtime is the perfect time to score a bestie! While you’re…

Stress-free doggos You’re back at school, the ’rents are at work and suddenly your dog is home alone! Here are some things your family can do to help your pooch feel right at home. If in doubt, see your local vet! Mix up their routine – try little things like leaving the house only for a few minutes, or putting your shoes on early and not as you’re about to leave. Small changes can help your dog stop focusing on when you are leaving and enjoy their day at home instead! Create a comfy space – when a dog has too much space to wander, it can start to pace and feel stressed. Try managing their space by using a playpen, crate or baby gate. Keep them entertained – try…

Delegate This is basically a fancy word for ‘sharing the responsibilities’. If you’re leading a project, you can’t expect to do all the work! Instead, spread it out with each team member. Each member of the Baby-Sitters Club has their own role, and they split up their baby-sitting duties so no one is ever overwhelmed! They work together as a team to get the job done. Trust your peers Once you assign a role, you need to trust that your team members can do it. There’s a difference between helping someone, versus being controlling! When Kristy was sick, she let Dawn step in to lead the BSC meetings. As much as Kristy wanted to control the way Dawn ran things, it’s also important to step back and let them learn…

1. Add a little texture and volume This look is all about texture! If you have fine, straight hair, you can add more texture by using something like a hair waver. If you naturally have thicker, textured or wavy hair, use a detangling spray – this will make it easier to braid. Whatever your hair type, apply Batiste dry shampoo to add extra grip. I like ‘Tropical’ because it smells like coconut! 2. Brush and braid Next, brush your hair to 1 side. Section your hair in 3 equal parts. Use your right hand to grab the right section of hair, your left hand for the left section and leave the middle section hanging. With the right section of hair, use your right hand to cross the section over the…

How to play 1. Close your eyes and draw a swirl in the middle of the rectangle for 4 seconds. 2. Count how many lines there are in the swirl from the top to bottom. This will be your magic number. 3. Start at the ‘Hogwarts’ school. If your number is 3, for example, count 3 spots from ‘Hogwarts’ to ‘East High’ and cross out ‘East High’. Then another 3 spaces to ‘Mal’ and cross her off. Keep going until there’s 1 thing left per side. Each time you go around the board, you skip the ones already crossed off.…
