NAME: Natali
BIRTHDAY: March 19th
WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Not really, but my name was going to be Naomi!
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Hmm…I think it was two weeks ago, whilst listening to the Amelie soundtrack. It’s weird but beautiful music makes me teary!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVE THING TO EAT FOR LUNCH? Right now when it’s cold and dreary outside I love hot spicy ramen soup with noodles.

DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yep, I sure do!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVE CEREAL? I like Special K, especially when you get a super-sized flake!
DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOELACES WHEN YOU TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES? Most of the time, unless I’m in a really lazy mood!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVE ICE CREAM? Cookies and cream or green tea flavour – I have a little green tea obsession right now.
LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? Atonement with Keira Knightley, it was really interesting but very sad.
WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? I think camel riding in Sinai (in the Middle East) is about as far away from Australia as I’ve ever been!
DO YOU HAVE A SECRET TALENt? I can body double for my sister! Being a twin makes it easy to have a double identity, which I think is a bit of a talent!

Having a bad week? Feeling blue? This utterly adorable video will make you smile!

Hey Girl Powerettes!

• Wow – a big congrats is in order for Jessica Watson, the youngest teen ever to sail around the world alone! Jess arrived at Sydney harbour yesterday after 210 days sailing solo! She celebrated the end of her voyage with crackers and vegemite, followed by a Twilight DVD session and some girlie time with her BFF. We think Jess really is ‘Australia’s Newest Hero”! She absolutely rocks!

• Speaking of Twilight, are happy times also in store for R-Pattz and Kristen Stewart? The private pair supposedly came clean about their relationship to talk show queen Oprah. If the rumours are true then we’re very happy for this cute couple!

• Happy 17^th birthday Miranda Cosgrove! Miranda celebrated her b-day whilst on a promo tour for her new album Sparks Fly. She enjoyed an amazing purple  cake and thanked all her fans on Twitter, saying, “All your birthday wishes make me so happy <3.”

• Avril Lavigne is in love! The punk princess has been spotted hanging out with The Hills reality TV star Brody Jenner! Avril tweeted,  “I love you eyelashes!” a few days ago, after having dinner with Brody and his parents – cute!
