by Carly Jacobs
On this wonderous Tuesday I have a rather fun announcement to make – I’ve just signed on to be a part of The Remarkables Group which is a blogger talent agency run by the fabulous Lorraine Murphy.

Top 10 Clutch Bag Essentials For When Your Every Day Bag Just Isn’t Fancy Enough.

by Carly Jacobs
Are you the type of girl who has a handbag full of every emergency fix under the sun? Or are you the type of free spirit who tucks a $50 note into her bra, leaves her handbag on the kitchen bench and doesn’t return home for three days? I’m very much the former. I have little zippered cases inside my everyday handbag with miniature versions of everything: makeup, medication, sewing kit, lip gloss, back Read the rest!

Angry Theoretical Shopping: What I Would Have Spent My Traffic Infringement Fine Money On.

by Carly Jacobs
I’m pissed off because yesterday I got a traffic infringement notice in the mail. $350 for running a red light. I remember the afternoon very clearly. I was late for a meeting and running out of petrol so I was in that special state of panic where you think if you don’t stop your car at all you’ll magically get to the petrol station without breaking down. In all honesty, I probably DID run the red Read the rest!

Bullying: Is It Happening In Your Workplace?

by Carly Jacobs
Follow my blog with Bloglovin With Anti Bullying Week in our wake I’ve been thinking about how important it is to open a safe dialogue about bullying in schools and treat this issue seriously. Bullying in schools is not okay. The sad thing I’ve realised recently is that it doesn’t end after school.

Healthy Low Carb Pesto Poached Chicken With Cauliflower Rice.

Since I discovered cauliflower rice a few weeks ago I’ve been eating it like a theoretical Alsatian eating Bridget Jone’s face. Seriously this shit is bananas.

I digress, anyway I generally try to keep Read the rest!
