What makes a strong squad? You’ll fi nd they have the traits below!
Here’s what to look for in your ultimate girl gang…


They're good listeners
Besties will always take the time to listen
(so don’t forget to be a good listener in
return). Sure, you might disagree on a few
things (Umm… Harry Styles looks wayyy
better with long hair!), but at least they
appreciate what you have to say.










They're your biggest cheerleaders
BFFs can be supportive in many ways, whether it’s
through a hobby (yaasss, gurl, enter that talent
show!) or by showing support through a tough
time. A squad will never make you feel bad about
yourself. Real queens fi x each other’s crowns!





They're trustworthy
Friends are someone you can talk to about
anything. They won’t judge or spill all the stuff
you told them on the DL and they defi nitely won’t
spread rumours about anyone. They also off er
caring, honest feedback when you need it most.




Write  dwn…
Write down the name of your BFF(s) and
your favourite thing about them below!
They make

Bullet journalling



How: Bullet journalling is all about note taking and Symbols are a huge part of bullet journalling too:
staying organised. It has its very own system, and
you need to learn a few terms to get started… • Tasks: use a bullet (•) next to things you need to do.
Once a task is complete, you put an ‘x’ over the bullet.
• Index: a place to write down the topics of You can also put ‘<’ over the bullet to show the task
your entries and the page numbers they’re on has been put in the future log, and ‘>’ to show it’s
• Future log: a yearly calendar where you put been moved to another day
goals and events • Notes: use a dash (–) next to things you want
• Monthly log: your monthly calendar to remember
• Daily log: your daily to do list • Events: use an empty bullet ( ) for special dates
❍
• Rapid logging: the bullet points (short To set up your bullet journal, head to
sentences) you write and the symbols that bulletjournal.com/pages/learn and check out their

• What happened today?
• How do I feel today?
• What’s something new I learnt today?
• What important task did I achieve today?
• How did I sleep last night? Did I have
any dreams?





Story of your life journalling



How: This is where you get your narrative on! Set Why: Two reasons! You’re creating your very own
aside time each day (or week) to write down an event, autobiography that can be passed down in your family
experience or chapter of your life. You can do this at for hundreds of years – or kept for your eyes only (it’s
random, or set yourself diff erent writing prompts or completely up to you!). It will also show you what the
themes. Some great ones for this are: most important things in your life are and how certain
experiences have shaped you into the amazing
person you are today. All you need to do is look for

• When I was fi ve… the meaning in the stories you write down.
• Adventures with my BFF
• Family holidays
• Happiest moments

A very quirky Christmas







When you think about it, a seasonal gift dude who wears red and flies with

reindeer is pretty perplexing but have you heard of these unusual traditions?




Ic land’s Yule Cat

Farmers keen to keep their workers from slacking off
apparently devised a legendary, hungry cat that will eat
you if you don’t have new clothes to wear at Christmas.
They rewarded hard workers with new clothes; slackers
would get the threat of being eaten by a big (possibly
cute?) beast. These days, it’s customary for Icelandic









Spain’s p o­ l g people to ALL get new clothes to avoid this terrible fate.
This guy sounds a little like a piñata crosse
emoji poo. The poop log, Tió de Nadal, was
just a log, but these days gets a fancier lo
little face, legs and a hat. Households will
log from December 8, and keep him warm
blanket. At Christmas Eve, a family will sing
their poop log with a stick so he ‘poos’ out
and gifts which were hidden below his bla







In Caracas, Christmas church-goers often
rollerskate their way over to mass (jaunty!).
Roads are cleared to keep the skaters safe on
their wheely-fun travels. Apparently, you can go
to bed with a string tied around your toe and the
other end draped out your window so people
rolling by can tug it to wake you up!
