Smaggle

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. I want to act all cool and professional about it but to be honest I’m freaking stoked. Basically it means that I get to spend more time writing and less time dealing with brand negotiations, which just q Read the rest!

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!

I don’t scream and run at the sight of a hamburger but in general pasta, rice and bread are sometimes foods in my diet rather than daily staples. I’ve long been a fan of the old Cruskit as a sneaky lower carb vehicle for protein so I was delighte Read the rest!

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!

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. As a freelancer I haven’t been in a permanent office environment for a few years so I’m Read the rest!

1. Started writing a web series with my friend Steph. Stay tuned for a teaser… this chick is wet-your-pants-hilarious. She’s from New Zealand and the drunker she gets, the thicker her accent gets. Yesterday I had to explain to her what a bunyip is. She’s delightful. 2. Hung out at the Grand Prix Johnny Walker VIP Suite at Art Series Hotel. Nuffnang hooked me up with these random tickets to this Read the rest!

I’m pretty rad at sleeping but occasionally I fall out of routine and mess up regular patterns. Here are a few things I do that keep me on track when my sleeping schedule loses the plot.  Avoid Over Indulging In Alcohol Having a big night on the turps is a sure fire way to get a fairly decent nights sleep but it will destroy your sleep schedule for the rest of the week. Stick to two standard drinks per sitt Read the rest!

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. One of my favourite recipes of all time is this Pesto and Chicken Quinoa dish and I make it all the time. Well that was until the internet made me feel bad about eating quinoa and now I’m confused. I digress, anyway I generally try to keep Read the rest!
