Welcome to the GirlForce universe! You’re about to get a whole lot wiser about yourself and your friends and family. Once you understand the different traits and qualities of the elemental-energies Air, Fire and Earth you’ll see how they ‘flavour’ people’s physical, mental and emotional lives and how they operate in yourself and in others. You’ll get amazing insights into the weird and wacky parts of yourself - like why you hate the cold or love to spend money. You’ll become aware of the wonderful, unique traits and qualities that make you YOU and you’ll develop compassion for the parts of your nature that are sometimes vulnerable and testy.
Air Girls
Outgoing Air grrrls make friends easily because they love to talk, flirt and entertain their friends. They’re spontaneous and unpredictable and often up for a challenge. Air girls are witty, enthusiastic, creative, always on the go, energetic and quick to learn. When they’re stressed they get nervous and anxious. Because they’re light sleepers with irregular hunger patterns if you catch them after a few late nights watching Josh Hartnett vids or a couple of skipped meals they’ll be total air-heads. They hate routine and crave constant change and excitement. And because of their naturally quick minds, they’re often bored at school and fantasise about life after the bell rings. They make interesting, intuitive, and caring friends but they need a lot of space to exercise their eccentricities.
Positive traits: Imaginative and quick-witted you are a natural born inventor and innovator. You could be a fashion designer or an astro-physicist - whatever takes your fancy.
Your challenge: Too much to do, so little time … You get stressed, scatty, and exhausted because you’re hopeless with routine.
You need: Time to indulge all your wild and wacky ideas - one day you will be discovered for your brilliance! In the meantime, get yourself together and give yourself some structure to work with. Slow down, breathe, and stop worrying.
Body Type Snapshot
Air girls are either very tall and slim, think string bean like Gwyneth Paltrow or Lucy Liu or short and petite like Rachel Leigh Cook, Jessica Alba, and Winona Ryder. You often forget to eat and you lose weight if you’re stressed out. You’re not a deep sleeper and loud noises, strong winds, and scary movies can keep you awake. You sometimes notice that your hands and feet are cold and you long for the sensation of warmth on your skin. Speaking of skin, yours is often dry and craves a soothing moisturiser or body balm. Air girls are not overly fond of exercise: they tire easily and often stress that their knobbly knees and elbows stick out of their PE uniforms. For most Air girls your hair is kinky and thin and the bane of your existence. You’re the speedy, chatty, quirky girl in your posse.

Fire Girls
Fire vixens are born leaders. They’re intelligent, passionate, outgoing, confident about their abilities, and often highly competitive. You’ll never have a dull moment with a Fire girl: she’ll take control and bring wonder and excitement to the day because she’s able to bring everyone together and inspire them to take part in her vision of fun and adventure. But be warned: they get hot under the collar easily and are often too proud to admit when they’ve made a mistake. Don’t expect your Fiery gal pal to be too sensitive to your needs, she’s too busy trying to run the world to worry about your problems. That said, she’s a friend indeed when you’re a friend in need. She’s loyal, funny and always has a brilliant solution for your angst at her fingertips - give her a big picture problem and she’ll effortlessly rise to the challenge. Fire girls are great organisers and make terrific team leaders: just remember to salute when she gives you an order.
Positive traits: You make everyone’s party list because you’re dynamic, passionate, and magnetic.
Your challenge: You’re not always right you know! It’s a virtue to be a good loser and you need to let others share some of the limelight.
You need: Spoil yourself occasionally and give yourself time to cool down and chill out. You’re so busy marching to the finish line that sometimes you forget to stop and smell the roses. It’s tough sometimes being fabulous - let yourself have a bad hair day every once in a while.
Body Type Snapshot
Fire girls are medium-sized and athletic with strong bodies like Reese Witherspoon and Hilary Duff. You can put on and take weight off pretty easily and are naturally athletic. You tend to overheat in summer and your skin burns easily. Fire gals are often identified by their soft blonde or reddish hair, and even when your hair is chocolate brown it glints gold in the sunlight. Natural redheads like Nicole Kidman have made their glossy locks a major part of their signature style. You’re the bossy-boots of your group and your intensity and commitment to a cause distinguishes you from your Air and Earth girlfriends. Fire girls get grumpy when they’re hungry (so don’t keep them waiting) and they have a wicked sweet tooth. If you blush easily you’re likely to be a passionate Fire babe.

Earth Girls
Earth babes are kind, family-minded, stable, calm and serene. They’ll never be two-faced (she won’t steal your man or spill all your deep, dark secrets). Earth gals are dreamy, laid-back, and generous and while they’re not normally the girls who rush for the spotlight, their easygoing natures make them friends for life. They’re affectionate and forgiving but if you wound them they’ll bear a grudge because they can hold onto things for a long time. Earth girls have a tendency to procrastinate, and at their worst, they’re couch potatoes who are resistant to change and movement. Earth needs stimulation, so these Types thrive when they’re challenged and excited. One thing that always gives Earth girls away: they’re great at dispensing advice, so tap them for hints on how to tame your sorry-ass boyfriend or bothersome brothers and sisters. Earth is naturally sensuous and loving and their innate sense of beauty and harmony make them total style queens.
Positive traits: You’re always the one everyone depends on in a crisis. You’re a devoted friend who brings balance to any relationship.
Your challenge: When you let yourself go you end up horizontal. You must not give in to your laid-back nature to the degree that you become lazy and lacklustre.
You need: You’re so busy being everyone’s best friend you can forget about yourself. Treat yourself to a yummy facial or a walk on the beach every week. Time alone is a must. At the same time, stimulation and challenge will prevent you from getting into a rut. Give yourself an energy injection every day.
Body Type Snapshot
Earth girls are curvaceous and laid-back like Liv Tyler and Beyonce Knowles with large eyes, voluptuous lips and sparkling white teeth. You tend to put on weight easily, especially around the hips and butt. Your skin is often pale for your race and can be a little oily and your hair is most likely thick and lush. Mornings are not your favourite time of the day. You’re a night owl picking up momentum as the day goes on. Your eyes are your most prominent feature and they sparkle with delight when you gaze at the people you love. You’re not a fast talker but people listen when you speak. You’re the easygoing girl in your gang and your perceptive insights often blow everyone away.
