New York – Day Five

by Carly Jacobs
  Today’s awesome New York day consisted of shopping, followed by Pink Berry. I got chocolate soft serve with chocolate swirls and yogurt chips, in case you’re wondering. We then had an amazing spicy Thai dinner with dragon fruit cocktails, which was easily the best cocktail I’ve had on the north side of the hemisphere. Oh and the cocktail was lovingly made by the prettiest Lady Boy I Read the rest!

New York – Day Three and Four

by Carly Jacobs
I’m dedicating today’s post to Things That New York Offers Me That I Didn’t Know I Wanted. Chopped Salad I found a salad bar where they toss together whatever ingredients you want to form a custom salad and when they had finished putting it together the guy said ‘Do you want that chopped?‘. I was under the impression that the salad was already chopped but, no. The guy got all samurai Read the rest!

New York – Day One and Two.

by Carly Jacobs
I had this giant plan of doing a day by day New York posting schedule for you but the moment we arrived in NY, we were told to stay inside until Hurricane Irene blew over. Cue 24 hours of horizontal cable watching and 2 minute noodle eating. So far, NY isn’t that different from when I have my period.

Here are a few things to watch out for. * The guy that takes the photo of the door is our friend Sam. You can see him here at my 1000th post party. * The Read the rest!

How to Recover From Major Embarrassment.

by Carly Jacobs
This week, I had a reader ask how to save face and move on if you’ve done something really embarrassing. Before we get on with it, I have to say that it is almost impossible to embarrass me. It can happen, but it’s rare. I’m the daughter of a nurse and a plumber so poos, wees and farts are child’s play in the embarrassment leagues for me and in my life I’ve worked with teenagers, drug Read the rest!

What makes a bad photo bad? For you?

by Carly Jacobs
  Yesterday, one of my friends asked my permission to post this photo to my Facebook wall. She loved it, but was worried that I wouldn’t. I told her it was fine and to go ahead. You know why? Because I don’t look fat. It doesn’t matter that my eyes are closed or my head’s at a funny angle or that I look like a zombie as one my friends sweetly pointed out. I don’t look fat and the Read the rest!

by Carly Jacobs
  Well dear readers, after almost four years of blogging, I’ve reached my 1000th post. It’s such a massive milestone and shows just how much work I’ve put into Smaggle over the years. So on the weekend, I threw a little 1000th post party with my crew. We ate curry, drank red wine and celebrated with champagne and ice cream cake. Perfect. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank e Read the rest!
