by Carly Jacobs
  Y’all have been bitching about me not doing enough outfit posts so I bought a camera remote. You likey?

When I lived with one of my besties we had a Bunny Ears Means Business rule. If I have a deadline, the ears go o Read the rest!

by Carly Jacobs
  Tattoos I just don’t get tattoos, although obviously, some of them are insanely beautiful.

Do You Believe in Ghosts? My Spiritual Encounter with a Passed Friend.

by Carly Jacobs
I’ve recently started watching The X-Files, because I was too chicken shit to watch it when I was a kid. It’s every kind of awesome. I feel that I relate more to Scully than Mulder, but that’s because I’m exceedingly practical, almost to a fault. I love reading about ghostly encounters, and visiting Port Arthur was easily the highlight of the year that I turned thirteen, but I remain scepti Read the rest!

My mother is a closet beauty guru. Here’s why…

by Carly Jacobs
  My mother is not what you would call a glamourpuss. She never had drawers full of cosmetics like my friends’ mothers. She had, and still has, a simple make up case with only clear mascara, black mascara, concealer, translucent powder and a chap stick. Needless to say I didn’t expect to get much beauty advice from Little Miss No Make Up. How wrong I was. Here’s what I learnt. Don’t sh Read the rest!
