Hi! This magazine was created for girlslike you - real girls who live in the real world.

Im not perfect, I dont look like a Barbie, Idont act like a robot, but that is because I

am real. And I dont like reading magazines

that are all about those types of girls - the

ones who are just focused on their looks,

consumerism and male attraction. For that

reason, I created BTW. Its a magazine for

you, for me, for real girls.

While this may not be all about shopping, or celebrities it does focus on

fashion. Fashion is an important part of a girls life and therefore is a big part of

BTW. There are also other articles on a variety of topics. I have tried to keep

the magazine balanced, just like your life. I hope you find it fun and entertaining

to read, but also learn a few things along the way.

I would love the hear about what you think about BTW, so please email me at

[email protected]

xoxo, Karina

Its never too early to start getting

prepared for the future. Even looking at

these websites and knowing that they

are great tools to help you is a great

start.

Everybody likes free money, but

Arrive early

- It shows enthusiasm and diligence.

- Also its good to arrive early so you

can make sure youre in the right

place.

Talk the Talk

- Initiate small talk with your co-

workers. It shows friendliness andopenness. Its also a good way to

make friends and feel more

comfortable.

Remember your manners

- Youve heard it a million times from

your parents use your manners, use

your manners. Yes you should use

your pleases and thank yous but

take it up a notch. Use lines like

may I... and my pleasure to

sound more mature.

Bring your tool box

- It helps a lot when you come

organized. It is good to bring a small

bag with your personal must haves

- Lipgloss, mints, mirror, hand

sanitizer, extra hair ties and

clips, cellphone (on silent)

- Notebook and pen to takenotes on instructions

Disconnect your self

- Turn off your phone so it doesn't

ring, beep or buzz while you are

working. Youre getting paid to work

not to text your friends so only

check your phone when you are on

your break.

Huh?

- Ask as many question as you need

to. Its better to ask a hundred

times and to get your job done right

rather than make a mistake. Once

you get instructions its also good to

repeat and confirm what you need to

do.Smile!

- When you show off your pearly

whites people know youre open and

welcoming.

Dress to Impress

- Wether you are working at a summer

camp, fast food restaurant, or in an

office downtown always choose

comfort. You never know what your

co-workers will be wearing, but dress

appropriately and comfortably so

you can focus on your job. Take

mental notes on what everybody

else is wearing for days ahead.

- Here are some ideas that will always

help you succeed

- Summer camp: shorts,

runners, cute t-shirt, hoodie

- Office: dress pants, oxfordshirt, ballet flats

- Fast Food Restaurant: black

pants, sneakers, tank top,

cardigan

ideas

First Day at WorkFirst day on the job? A little nervous? Dont be! Just follow these easy tips

and you will seem like a pro to your boss.

Make sure you choose a comfortable outfit. You will

most likely be on you feet the whole day, so sneakers

are a good idea. The restaurant will probably have auniform, but if not make sure you are wearing

something you dont mind getting a little messy in.

A semi-formal outfit will work just

fine for you. Choose something

simple, classy, but also comfortable.

Normally the store you work for will

ask that you dress in their clothes.

Make sure you dress in Western-business attire. This

could be a skirt and a shirt, or a blouse and pant suit.

Observe what your co-workers are wearing to get a

sense of what to wear in the future. If you are wearing

a skirt, make sure its at an appropriate length (at your

knees). Also, choose comfortable shoes. Heels are

fine, as long as you can walk properly in them.

Zoya Jiwa, Aliya Dossa and Selin Jessa are three amazing girls who are leadersin their respective communities. BTW was able to sit down with them and

have a chat about their experiences and about the voluntary work they are

doing. They recently participated in TEDxKids@BC and shared their

experiences with BTW. Zoya, Aliya and Selin are all very busy, active girls who

take time out of their lives to help and inspire others. All three are

visionaries, leaders and local heroes who are making the world a better place.

zoya jiwa

BTW: What did you speak about atTEDxKids@BC?

ZJ: I spoke about my idea of being

'Simply You': finding true beauty within

oneself and embracing the positive,

qualities that make one who they are. Ispoke on body image and the media, as

well as inner beauty and values. I'vealways been passionate about the topic

of body image and learning about the

different influences that contribute to

our society's idea of beauty. With astrong focus on physical beauty these

days, it is not surprising that inner

beauty is viewed secondarily. My goalwas to emphasize that the 'perfect'

images we see in the media are highly

unattainable because these images are

airbrushed and often extremely

manipulated to the extent that even the

models don't look like themselves. Even though many people know this is the reality, we stillstrive to attain this image.

BTW: Why did you choose this topic?ZJ: Essentially, my goal was to shift people's definition of 'beauty' from being solely

appearance based to looking at the positive, unique qualities that make one who they are. AsI mentioned in my TEDxKids@BC talk, we aren't born knowing what beauty is. Instead, imageshave been projected to us as we've grown up to form our entire idea of beauty. Of course,there are various factors, but what I found that negatively impacted me was the one 'look' thatthe media has us aiming to look like: perfection. Having dealt with low self-esteem and self-image in the past, I wanted to ensure that other young people wouldn't have to go through the

same battle. Based on my personal experience, when I realized how supportive, caring andawesome the people around me are, I also recognized my own qualities and values that make

me who I am. Surrounding myself with uplifting, positive people made me feel happy andbeautiful, and I wanted others to discover this as well.

10/55

BTW: Do you think your talk affected others?

ZJ: I sure hope so! It was really cool thatthe audience at TEDxKids@BC was composed

of adults, youth, and children, because thetopics of body image and inner beauty are

applicable to all ages! My intention is forpeople to gain an optimistic, new perspective

of the idea of beauty and for people to

recognize the positive aspects that make

them who they are. I hope people feelempowered by my presentation and are

motivated to talk about the idea of Simply

You with others. It's time to look past thesurface and learn about your own values

rather than how you can try to get into a

smaller dress size or look more like a

celebrity. Of course, I'm not saying thatlooks don't matter- but they are certainly

not 'everything.' When one feels beautiful

and happy with who they are, it opens doors

for them to embrace their talents, follow

their passions and shine so brightly! This iswhere true beauty shines.

BTW: How did this experience affect you?

ZJ: Speaking at TEDxKids@BC has helped me

gain self-confidence, realize my own inner

beauty, and connect with like-minded

individuals who share the same passion of

positively redefining the distorted idea of

what many think beauty is. It has alsoallowed me to create a positive impact in the

lives of others through a personal experience

that was difficult to deal with at the time.BTW: Have you carried on with your idea of

Simply You?

ZJ: Yes, I have! I've started the 'Simply YouHealth and Wellness Group' at my school,

and it's off to a great start! We focus onusing healthy ways to deal with different

stresses that we face on a daily basis.

Additionally, there is a focus on body image

awareness and embracing inner beauty. Ihave turned my passion into action! It hasbeen a lot of fun so far, and I'm superexcited to see where it goes in the future.BTW: What are you involved with right now,

and how has your community service

changed you as a person?

ZJ: This year, I founded and now lead the

Simply You Health and Wellness Group at my

school with the help of Ms. Watkins, my

school's Youth Worker. I'm also Co-president of Student Council and Co-

President of a humanitarian club at my

school. Another initiative I am involved withis called Project HELLO: Helping Everyone

Locate Loved Ones, which gives residents of

Vancouver's Downtown Eastside the

opportunity to reconnect with loved ones

they have lost contact with.Volunteering in

my school and community has positively

shaped me into the person I am today. Ithas become a part of my everyday life, and

it's honestly something I love to do. Thehappiness I feel when I volunteer or make a

positive difference in someone's life is

indescribable- it makes me smile so much! Ireally enjoy collaborating with others to

create the biggest, most positive impact

possible. As a result, I have developedmany close friendships! Throughvolunteering in my school and community, I

have developed leadership skills which will

help me as I grow up. I am an optimistic,determined and enthusiastic individual

generally and also when it comes to being a

leader. I have learned that helping others isa passion of mine!

alia dossa

BTW: What was your role in TEDxKids

@BC?AD: I feel very blessed and fortunate to

have been able to speak at TEDxKidsBC.

My speech was entitled "Sustainability

Begins with a Smile". I spoke about how

nothing is less sustainable than negativity

- a lesson I learnt through co-founding a

student-led initiative called Youth 4 Tap.

Throughout my speech, I told Youth 4

Tap's story about reducing bottled waterusage in schools, while encouraging tap

water. I then explained how we overcame

obstacles by maintaining positive,

sustainable mindsets. One message I

emphasized in my speech, that I would

like to share with you now, is this: In life,

you cannot control what happens to you.

However, how you react to what happens

to you is your decision. So smile!

BTW: What was the most important

lesson you learnt throughout the

experience?

AD: I learnt that even though it can seem like we live in a time of dire apathy, there is and

always will be hope because there are people who care. The audience was so engaged by our

authentic stories, and many people approached me afterwards asking about how they can

become involved. This made me realize just how fortunate I was and am to be able to share my

story with the world, because everyone has a story worth sharing. So now more than ever

before, I "seek to understand and then seek to be understood" (Stephen Covey).

BTW:You are making a difference in your community, what inspired you to do so?

AD: In a concrete sense, in terms of the Youth 4 Tap initiative, "The Story of Bottled

Water" (www.storyofbottledwater.org) served as a piece of inspiration for me. More abstractly

though, what inspires me most undoubtedly are the people around me. My family, my friends,

and my role models. Volunteering in my religous community from a very young age also

inspired me to help others.

11


12/55

BTW: What advice can you give to other girls

who want to make a difference in their

community?AD:

1. Be optimistic. If you don't believe in

yourself, then why should anyone else?

When things don't go the way you plan,

don't give up. Just know that everything

happens for a reason, learn from your

mistakes and put 110% of yourself into

everything you do.

2. Never be afraid to meet new people. If

you are afraid, overcome your fears by

taking risks and networking. I strongly

believe that much of what I have

accomplished has been a result of talking to

people from a diverse set of backgrounds.

3. Think about what you are passionate

about and then brainstorm ways in which you

can allow your passions to meet

opportunities. You owe it to yourself to do

what you love. Once you find your passion

(s), try your best to balance the important

things in your life. (i.e. Family, school,

friends, extra-curricular activities, faith, you-

time, etc.)

4. There are many reasons why people

become involved in their communities. While

it looks good on a resume, provides you with

service hours, and may gain you respect

from those around you - make sure you

become involved because you genuinely

care. With much of what I am involved in

now, I went through a process of

distinguishing societal habits that bother me.

For example: wasting food and drinking

bottled water. I then thought of ways in

which I could make a real difference in these

areas. The other perks of becoming involved

should be secondary. Passion comes first.

BTW: What volunteer work do you

participate in?

AD: I help run a few clubs at my school

including: Youth 4 Tap, through which we

have now saved over 300,000 plastic

bottles from ending up in landfills; Project

Hunger, through which we raise awareness

about food wastage and take action towards

helping the local hungry; and Students

Helping Students, a club where high school

students help local elementary school

students with their homework and other

related issues. I am also very involved with

the United Nations club in my district, where

we discuss and take actions for peace and

human rights. The list goes on and my

purpose for answering your question so

directly is not to sound arrogant but rather

to emphasize the scope of opportunities

with which you can be involved. If there isn't

an opportunity out there that makes your

heart sing, then create one.

BTW: Do you think the service you are doing

in your community is changing others? Has it

changed you?AD: Yes. It is my hope that I have

significantly altered the behaviours of

citizens who have been environmentally and/

or socially irresponsible in some way or

another. Being involved and serving my

community has changed me to the point

where it has become a large part of who I

am. And in all sincerity, I do believe that

everyone has the power to be a catalyst for

positive change. No change is too small, and

no time is too late.

BTW: What is TEDxKids @BC?

SJ: TEDxKids @BC (www.tedxkidsbc.com) is anannual conference that aims to empower kids

and youth around BC and help them reach their

passion. The conference is organized in the TED

format, dedicated to "ideas worth spreading."

We feature young speakers on topics related to

youth, and between sessions, we plan to try

and help kids turn their passion and inspiration

into acton. The next TEDxKids @BC will take

place in October 2012.BTW: What was the most important lesson you

learnt throughout the experience?

SJ: I've been involved in various youth projects

over the last couple years, and one thing that

TEDxKids @BC taught me was that often we

gravitate towards the same kind of people when

launching these kinds of projects. It's better to

seek a variety of people: our team was made upof adults and youth, people working, people

studying, software analysts, teachers,

designers, athletes and administrators. And students, of course. Our diversity of thoughts and

perspectives really allowed us to be far more creative during the planning process, contributing

new ideas and new opinions. It was so valuable to work with so many different people, and

from then on, I've been trying to assemble more diverse groups of people for teams and clubs.

BTW: What advice can you give to other girls who want to make a difference in their

community?

SJ: Don't let making a difference in the world seem like a daunting task! Start with something

you're interested in and connect with people or organizations that are passionate about those

same issues or goals. Work with them, and learn from them - supporting an existing

organization is just as admirable as starting your own. Learn as much as you can about that

topic or issue and from there, figure out where you could make your unique contribution. We al

have infinite potential and it's up to each one of us to reach for it. The hardest part is to stay

inspired - keep stoking the fires by communicating with people passionate about the same

things as you, going to student conferences and setting small goals.

13


14/55

BTW: What other leadership initiatives have

you taken in your community?

SJ: At school, I co-lead a humanitarian club

and I'm involved in my school's community

leadership team, which manages a project

which seeks to reunite the homeless with

people whom they may have lost touch with.

Besides TEDxKids @BC, my other big focus in

the community is environmental issues. In

December, I took part in a student

expedition to Antarctica to learn about the

effects of climate change. I Blogged

throughout my trip to share my experience

with others and raise awareness about this

important issue. My blog can be found on

selinjessa.tumblr.com.

BTW: What service activities would you

recommend for other teen girls to get

involved in? How can others get involved inTEDxKids?

SJ: There are many different ways to get

involved with TEDxKids@BC 2012! This year,

we are more ambitious than ever. We're

looking for interested youth to join our

planning team, attendees to come to our

events, and people to help spread the word.

Ifyouth areinterested, they should [email protected]. Other fantastic

opportunities for teen girls are often found in

their schools - leadership teams, green clubs,

and humanitarian organizations. At the same

time, it's important to get involved outside

of your schools - so volunteer at an

organization, or join your city's youth

council!

BTW: What are your dreams for the future?

SJ: For the world, I dream of a place where

people are aware of what's happening around

them, compassionate towards each other,

and able to live in harmony with the Earth.

For myself,I hope to find myself in a careerwhere I can keep learning, keep exploring my

curiosity, and create things that help make

the world a better place - and hopefully

enjoy my job so much that it feels more like

play than work. I also hope to inspire others

to get involved in their communities as well.

Feeling Inspired?

You can be amazing, just like these

three girls. You have the potential to

make the world a better place, just

start small but dream big. Every

person, every change, every action

helps. Take action about something

you care about today!

Sun exposure causes the skin to age faster resulting in wrinkles and dark spots. It can also cause skin cancer. It is important to use a daily sunscreen. Look for moisturizers that contain SPF 30.

Do Drink Water Drinking water moisturizes the skin from inside-out and keeps your skin glowing. Drink about 8 glasses a day for healthy, hydrated skin.Dont Smoke

Smoking causes your skin to age faster resulting in dehydrated and dull skin. Smoking also causes dark spots and wrinkles.Do Eat Healthy

Eating a balanced diet will give your skin all the nutrients it needs to look its best.Dont Stress

Stress causes the skin to wrinkle and age faster. It also results in loss of sleep, and as you know, we all need our beauty sleep.Do Wash Your Face

Wash your face twice a day to get ride of dirt and bacteria in your pores. Cleansing you face after wearing make-up is extremely important, too.

Am I in a healthy relationship?

Respect is a huge aspect of being in a healthyrelationship. Its important that your BF knows

that you respect him, but you also need to

receive the respect back in return. The key is

to treat him how you would want to be

treated.

Do my BF and I respect each other? YES NODoes my BF listen to me and always take my

opinion into consideration?

YES NOIf I dont feel comfortable with something, will

my BF back off and drop the subject?

YES NOTrust is vital to have in any relationship.

Knowing that your BF wont lie to you and will always tell you the truth is important.

Relationships are built on trust, and knowing that you can trust your BF and that he wont let

you down is also important.

Do I feel comfortable telling my BF my deepest secrets? YES NOWill my BF ever share my secrets with anybody? YES NOIf I talk to my cute guy friends from math after class, YES NOwill my BF be jealous? Honesty comes hand-in-hand with trust, and is another two way street. Its tough to be honest

with someone without trusting them. You have to be honest with your BF to feel 100%

comfortable, and he should be honest with you too.

Have I ever caught my BF in a major lie? YES NODoes he always share whats on his mind? YES NODo I ever lie to my BF (be honest)? YES NO

Support is being able to count on your BF and knowing that he will be there for you. Its

important to support each other since you are dating, and if your own BF or GF doesnt support

you, who will? While you want him to support you, make sure you are his biggest fan too,

always cheering him on.

Will my BF let me cry on his shoulder after my parents and I get into a huge fight? YES NODoes he discourage me and influence me to change my mind for the worse? YES NODo I put him down in front of my friends? YES NODoes he encourage me to do what I want? YES NODo I celebrate with him when he accomplishes even the smallest of challenges, like passing the

Bio quiz? YES NOCommunication is key. Its the only way to express your

feelings to each other. You need to tell your BF whats

on your mind, what youre feeling and thinking, and what

you want or need at the time. You have to be able to

communicate with your BF and know you are being

listened to, but you also need to be open to what he has

to say and respect his thoughts too. Being able to talk

to each other is important, as is listening to each other.

Do I sometimes keep a feeling bottled up inside because

I am afraid it's not what my BF wants to hear or because

I dont want to sound silly? YES NOIs my BF texting or looking around when I am trying to

have a serious conversation with him? YES NODoes my BF often interrupt me when Im talking?

YES NODo I listen to what my BF has to say? YES NOAm I open-minded to what my BF has to say?

YES NO

Want something crunchy like chips... go for some crunchy baby carrots. Carrots are high in

vitamin A and provide you with nutrients, while chips are empty calories.

Want something sweet like an ice cream sundae... try some

flavored greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is thick and creamy,

and also is high in calcium and protein. Try adding some

berries for sweetness andfiber.

Want something to dip your veggies and crackers in... use a

low-fat flavored cream cheese. Low in calories and just as

good as other dips.

Want some rice to go with your chinese takeout... boil some quinoa instead. This grain has

a nutty flavor, similar to brown rice, but is very high in protein.

Want a grilled cheese sandwich... try having some cheese and whole grain crackers. You are

still having your cheese and carb, but are skipping out onthe butter and oil used to make the grilled cheese.

Want crispy bacon for breakfast... try turkey bacon. It

has half the amount of fat and calories, and tastes

pretty similar.

Want to munch on

something salty...

pop a bag of low

calorie popcorn. There are now 100 calorie bags, so youdont have to feel bad about finishing the whole bag.

Want something creamy like a milkshake... try making

your own smoothie. In a blender mix about 1/2 cup of

yogurt, with a 1/2 cup of milk and 1 cup of frozen or

fresh fruit. Add sweetener or ice to taste.

Being healthy mean making the right choices for you body. Here are some examples

of some healthy food choices you can make everyday.

Read the Book

Im Alice I Think - Susan Juby

This book is about a 15 year old girl who

lives in a very small town in BC. She lives

with her weird family; her mom, dad and

brother. This book is her personal journal

about her experience entering grade 10

after being home schooled for most of her

life and how she completes, or tires to

complete her list of life goals. Reading this

book, helped me realize that although I

think my life is bad, others have it way

worse than me. It was a bit confusing at

times, but soo funny! There were times

when I actually laughed out loud. It is a

good book and an easy read and I would

recommend it.

This Years Model - Carol Alt

This book is about a young model named

Mac. She starts off just modeling to raise

money for university, but her gig turns into

a full time profession. As her profession

grows, she discovers herself and the true

business of modeling. She meets other

models and learns about friendship through

her experiences. It is a very good book,and was very entertaining to read. It was

definitely not what I was expecting. Before

I read this book, I thought modeling was

fun and an easy job, but this book, while its

just a story, taught me about the real life a

model and how its just not that fun.

Love and Peaches - Jodi Lyyn Anderson

Birdie, Leeda and Murphy are three women

who have gone their separate ways, but as

summer times rolls in, they all find their

ways back home to Georgia. They are

united by the peach orchard, the place

where they grew up. The three women are

all facing their own problems, and come the

to orchard hoping to move on and

remember home. This is a heart-warming

story about friendship, romance and finding

yourself. I found it to be similar to TheSisterhood of The Traveling Pants. It was a

fun story and a good read. After reading it,

I discovered that it was a part of the

Peaches trilogy. It may have been easier to

understand if I read the other books first,

so I would recommend that.
