Cute Clip from Lemonade Mouth

May 26th, 2011 by Anthea | 6 Comments | Filed in Movies

Hey girls,

Here at GP, we all just LOVE the new Disney movie, Lemonade Mouth! Who doesn’t love a flick about friendship, fun and finding your voice? One of our fave scenes from the film is when all of Olivia’s bandmates help her out when she’s feeling down. They really are, “more than a band”. It’s really sweet! Check it out below:


Lemonade Mouth is released on Disney DVD on the 1st of June so you can watch it again and again!

Love,

The GP Girls :)

Super Surfer!

May 25th, 2011 by Anthea | No Comments | Filed in Movies

Hi Girls!

We just wanted to share this cool sneak peek of the new movie Soul Surfer, which hits cinemas tomorrow! It’s the true story of the amazing surfer Bethany Hamilton who lost her arm in a shark attack. Despite the accident, she made a comeback and became a surfing champ again! We’re so inspired.

Bethany is played by AnnaSophia Robb, from Bridge to Terabithia and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In this clip, Anna and the cast chat about the flick!

Have a look and let us know what you think!


Love,

The GP Team :)

Morning Tea Muffins Recipe!

May 24th, 2011 by Anthea | 6 Comments | Filed in The Magazine, food

Good morning girls!

As you know… I just love to cook! Creating (and taste-testing!) the recipes for the cooking pages is one of the BEST bits about working at GP HQ!

Today we all got to bake for a cause – we held a Biggest Morning Tea in the office to raise money for the Cancer Council. It was totally scrumptious :) Amy baked some yum-tastic Mars Bar slices and I made some Pear and Rhubarb muffins… fancy!

This inspired me to share one of my favourite Morning Tea recipes… I call them Berry Blast Muffins! Packed with berries, yoghurt and oats, they make a totally tasty snack. Why not whip them up this weekend, or hold your own Biggest Morning Tea? Check out ‘I Heart Helping’ in our June issue for more info, or visit www.biggestmorningtea.com.au to find out more!

My Berry Blast Muffins!

Are you getting hungry? Here’s the recipe girls – get baking!

You’ll need:

The Ingredients

  • 2 cups of self-raising flour
  • 2/3 cup rolled oats
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 200g of strawberry yoghurt
  • 2 mashed bananas
  • 1 green apple, grated
  • ½ cup of honey
  • 80g of melted butter
  • 1 cup of mixed berries (fresh or frozen)

How to do it:

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C or 170°C for fan-forced. Line 12 non-stick muffin holes with paper muffin cases. Sift the flour into a bowl and stir in ½ of the rolled oats.

Step One

2. Add eggs, yoghurt, bananas, apple, honey and butter and stir until only just combined. Fold in the berries.

Step Two

3. Spoon the mixture into the muffin cases and sprinkle remaining oats on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a skewer inserted into a muffin comes out clean. Put on a wire rack to cool.

Step Three

Tip! These very munchable muffins can be eaten on their own or cut in half and spread with yoghurt or honey.

Happy Baking!

Happy World Turtle Day!

May 23rd, 2011 by Anthea | 4 Comments | Filed in Stuff

Hi Girl Powerettes!

Happy World Turtle Day! Did you know…

  • Sea Turtles are colour blind
  • They can live up to 80 years old!
  • Sometimes it looks like Sea Turtles are crying because they get rid of salt water through their eyes! Aww.

We’ve also had word of a great project that aims to save our Sea Turtles! The Sydney Aquarium Conservation Fund has launched a turtle tagging project that will track our turtles and try to stop them from being hurt by boats.

Sea Biscuit at Oceanworld Manly!

This totally cute Sea Turtle Sea Biscuit, lives at Oceanworld Manly. She was found washed up on a Sydney beach with an injured front flipper :( Sea Biscuit was only the size of a 50c piece when she was found! Luckily she’s grown up big and strong and loves her new home at Oceanworld Manly. The turtle tagging project will hopefully stop turtles like Sea Biscuit from being harmed in the future.

You can track the turtles at www.sacf.org.au or if you’re a Sydneysider, visit Sea Biscuit at Oceanworld Manly! See: www.oceanworld.com.au.

Happy World Turtle Day!

Love,

The GP Girls xx

Delta Saves the Day!

May 12th, 2011 by Anthea | 7 Comments | Filed in Celebrity, Music

Hey Girl Powerettes!

Last night, the lovely Delta Goodrem delivered not one but two amazing performances on America’s Dancing with the Stars! When the super singer Adele got too sick to perform, Delta stepped in and performed the classic track ‘(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman’. It was the first time she’d ever performed it and she had less than an hour of rehearsal time! Amazing.

Check out her performance below!


Delta also sung her new duet with Michael Bolton, ‘I’m Not Ready’. It would have been totally nerve-wracking to perform, especially in front of an audience of 21 MILLION PEOPLE! Wowzers!

What do you think girls? Is that inspiring, or what?!
