What Do You Believe In That You Can’t Prove?

by Carly Jacobs
A friend of mine went overseas last year and returned pondering this question. What do you believe in that you can’t prove? When he asked me what I thought, my reply was karma. I believe in karma. I believe in the inevitable and cyclical return of good when good is projected. However, I can’t prove this. I have some fairly substantial evidence and lots of personal experience in this area, but no hard Read the rest!

The one where I reverse parallel park a car without using my hands.

by Carly Jacobs
As a blogger, I get offered free things. A lipstick here, an eye cream there. It’s all a bit pleasant. Usually my man doesn’t give a rats about my freebies. Until I got an email from the lovely crew at Ford. Yes. Ford. As in the cars. I got offered a week-long trial of the Ford Focus. You know the fancy car that reverse parallel parks itself? My first thought was. ‘Shit. Ogilvy (big bikkies PR fir Read the rest!

Why Don’t You…?

Drink a smoothie from a jam jar? Light candles with matches? Paint? Bake an old fashioned apple pie? Say yes? Eat nuts from a tea cup? Stay naked a little too long after your shower? Read the rest!

Who is your fantasy style icon?

by Carly Jacobs
Mine is Daphne Guinness. If I didn’t have to do mundane things like walk, sit down and stop my head from hitting my chest, I’d dress like her every day. If you could dress like anyone, who would it be? No matter how impractical? Read the rest!

Curly hair VS Straight hair. Do you get taken more seriously with sleeker locks?

by Carly Jacobs
If there is one thing I’m well-known for, it’s my hair. It’s pretty hard to miss, some days I look like a cat got electrocuted and then died on my head. Other days I could be the Dallas High School Prom Queen of 1999 or a hair model from the 80s that they trialed (and failed) the perm on. As I said, my hair is kind of my thing and it’s generally what I’m known for. ‘You know Car Read the rest!

How to Steal the Style of The 1920s.

by Carly Jacobs
  Match the colour of your handbag to your shoes and belt. How quaint.   Wear Chanel No. 5 – the signature fragrance of Marilyn Monroe created in 1921. She wore it to bed… and nothing else.   Drink whisky with ice and paint your fingernails and lips blood red.     Wear as many bangles that will fit on your wrist and carry a clutch bag. A delicious beaded one with nothing more Read the rest!

How to Give a Gift to The Person Who Has Everything.

by Carly Jacobs
I don’t know about you but I always struggle to find gifts for my friends.

So here’s a handy little list of cute, non-crap, not wasteful gifts for friends who have everything. A DIY Cookie Jar.   Instructions via Bakerella. Read the rest!

Low-Carb Power Food Sweet Potato and Chicken Salad.

by Carly Jacobs
Anyone who was a teenager in the late 90s will always be a little bit scared of carbohydrates. They’re the fat of the 80s. The calories of the 70s. The sugar of the noughties. I’ve spent a good portion of my adult life avoiding bread like it’s poison, and although I’m not quite as stead fastly anti-bread as I used to be, I find that old habits die hard and I often make main meals without you Read the rest!
