Very Excellent Habits is a place dedicated to helping you be your best self

I give no bullshit, straight up, honest advice on how to get your shit together and how to find systems that work for you, so you can be the best version of yourself.

I always feel my best when my body feels good, my life is sorted and I’m surrounded by functional, gorgeous stuff. It’s not about spending a lot of money or being totally obsessive about a new fitness routine or eating plan. It’s just solid, ongoing advice to keep you motivated to be an ace human.

Plus I’m a bit of a guinea pig, constantly trying things out so I tend to know what’s good simply because I’ve tried everything. I do the leg work and give you the best bits.

I’m Carly

Writer, podcaster, presenter and general life enthusiast. I’m basically walking FOMO. I started Smaggle in 2007 originally as a daily style blog. I started talking about gym classes I was trying, self help books I was reading, podcasts I was listening to and it just evolved into a place where people came for life advice. I live in Melbourne in Fitzroy, with my partner Mr Smaggle (he has a real name but I used it once years ago and everyone freaked out so it’s back to Mr Smaggle again) but we travel a lot so you’ll find us all over the place.

Let’s hang out!
