Julie McCarthy: Jewels Says

One Fun Mum

Jewels says she's guilty of holding mums to a higher standard than dads even though it's not fair and if you’ve had to distance yourself from toxic family members, you're not alone.

CDM, CCC! and Welcome to Chippendales

Jewels says it’s been quite a week.

Kerrie’s Clinique de Mode Midtown is open, Choir! Choir! Choir! held their first post pandemic Clinton’s pub show before they head out on tour in the UK and Welcome to Chippendale’s has Jewels reflecting on sexy dancing.

International Women’s Day 2023

Jewels says celebrating women doesn't diminish men, anticipation is better than a surprise, her friend, The Terminator, is good for morale and Thundersnow is the superhero we all need.

Plus an encounter with a hot-headed hockey boy, a wish for just one casket quality photo and @JPCastlin's Twitter takeover.

The Landlord Chronicles: Junior, Paul and Cowboy

People say being landlord is an opportunity to make money while you sleep. Jewels says that's definitely not the case with her and she isn't sure whether she makes bad decisions or has bad luck. Maybe it's a bit of both.

Fun Friends: Grandfather Abe the Vegan Babe

Jewels says she just wants to pretend she’s someone else sometimes and she’s a bit jealous of the trained liars who get to do it for a living. Plus a nice chat with Grandfather Abe about his transition to a vegan diet. Though he doesn’t get hung up about a bit of egg in a birthday cake, since the sugar is probably the least healthful part of the cake.
