Smaggle

Update. Sort of.

by Carly Jacobs
Hello poppets! Just a quick update that my data something or other crashed over the weekend which means that you may have had trouble visiting the old blog for a few days. There was a much more technical phrase for the catastrophe but I tend to tune out when my tech support guy starts saying things like ‘cache’ and ‘router’. Also I moved house over the weekend and I don’t have Internet Read the rest!

Inside The Smaggle Haus.

by Carly Jacobs
I’ve had several people email me and an almost creepy amount of readers comment in my survey that they’d like me to photograph my home. I’ve been putting it off because I never feel like a home is truly finished you know? It’s not that I’m private (clearly I’m not) I’m just incredibly anal. But I’m moving out of this house on the weekend (!!!) so I decided to get all Read the rest!

Why Don’t You…?

Save or Splurge – How Do You Spend Your Cash?

by Carly Jacobs
I’m a total voyer and I love  to know little nitty-gritty details about other people. I especially love hearing about other people’s bizarre spending habits. Recently, I had an acquaintance tell me she had spent $1000 on an appointment with this famous and supposedly gifted psychic and she was delighted at what a bargain she got. This is the same woman who scoffed at me for spending $300 on leather bo Read the rest!

Why Don’t You…?

by Carly Jacobs
* Tackle your ironing basket? Pop on an apron and 50s style head scarf, sip wine and watch your favourite television show? Have a cupboard full of clean crisp frocks for the week? * Indulge in Winey Wednesday? Cook a delicious meal and research the perfect tipple to accompany it? Keep a wine journal documenting your findings? * Go for a walk every morning this week? Just ten minutes around the block? Start your da Read the rest!

Fuck Yes and Hell No – Supermarket Bullies and Sassy Door Bitches.

by Carly Jacobs
My farm fresh veggie box! In response to your hilarious survey answers I’ve decided to bring back an old segment but I’ve re-vamped it. Does anyone remember Lady’s Loves and Loathes? I’ve brought it back with a vengeance. It’s now called Fuck Yes and Hell No. Has a nice ring to it right? Fuck Yes * New Zealands Next Top Model. They have a complete inability to be gracious when other Read the rest!

I’ve been so rude and I sincerely apologise.

by Carly Jacobs
I’m utterly disgusted that it’s been almost four years since I asked my readers about themselves. Bad Smaggle. Please come out of the shadows and say hello, I’d love to hear how you’re doing. I’m asking the same questions I did four years ago plus a few extras… and I’m using a fancy shmancy form this time to make it more fun! Oh! Technology! All answers are private but I mi Read the rest!

Are You a Colourful Dresser?

by Carly Jacobs
If you’ve been reading Smaggle for longer than a week you’ll know that I’m a monochrome whore. Cream, black, white and grey are the only colours I ever wear, with the very occasional splash of blush or some kind of subtle animal print. This behaviour of mine alludes me for many reasons, the first being that I love colour. Adore it. I love it even more if it’s organised. Smiggle stores send m Read the rest!

How Do You Avoid The Guilts?

by Kimberley Smith
One of the things I actively try to decrease in my life is guilt. We women do guilt very well – we condemn ourselves for eating a second (okay, ninth) piece of chocolate, for taking too long to respond to a friend’s text message or even putting off that god-awful gynaecologist appointment for months. But how is this guilt useful? It certainly doesn’t make us pick up the phone and book a pap smear Read the rest!
