Let’s chat about the post. The mail. Shipping. Stamps! Here is a pretty example of postage: Here is a realistic example of postage: I started my stationery business back in 2014 or so, and in summer 2017 when I was looking to increase orders, I asked my friends whether they prefer to pay postage on […]

Minimalish, Part Three: a 1-month anniversary review of the Brick Phone
Before we start: this post got LONG. Just a heads up, especially if you’re reading on a mobile (ha). Here’s part one and part two of this tenuous series. I was going to share this sooner, but I wanted to take a bit longer to get to know the newest electronic acquisition in my life: […]
Minimalish, Part One: learning about minimalism and I might be a bit of a hippie
Hellloooo and happy almost-Halloween! (I’ve just remembered that tomorrow is MCR’s one year return anniversary and I’ll have been blogging here for eleven years. ELEVEN YEARS. What.) I’ve been thinking about writing about this for a little while, but I thought it might be a) boring and b) preachy, which are two of my least […]
Clearing Out
So, I’ve redecorated (it feels so pretentious to say that when all I did was change the blog theme and tag line, but I don’t think there’s another word). I fancied something a bit cleaner, with less clutter. I’ve been clearing out real life belongings, too; I’ve noticed that the inside of my head is […]
A Bullet-Point Decade
Inspired by Maggie Steifvater, I have compiled an out-of-order list of things that have happened to me this decade. I’m going out later so I’ll probably get emotionally introspective initially while I’m washing my hair and then while I’m varying degrees of tipsy; I think a list is good for stating unequivocally that things happened, […]
An early new year’s resolution ft. mental health and mobile phones
I feel a bit dumb even writing this post, but it’s about something that we should probably talk about more: I have hair on my toes. Kidding, although I do (hoping it might thin out as I age, though). What I want to talk about today is the fact that yesterday evening, I switched off […]
In which my attitude to this election is the word ‘fuck’ whispered softly while cradling a strong alcoholic beverage
I didn’t think this election was bothering me until this evening, when I picked up a box of Heroes I bought to take to work tomorrow and ate half of them while I was watching the news. So it’s possibly time to admit I’m experiencing internal conflict. (I’m also really annoyed I’m furring up my […]
In Which I Have Been Blogging Ten (10!) Actual Years
Today I have been blogging on here ten years. My first ever post wasn’t today, it was sometime in November, but Halloween always felt like a good day for a birthday. I’ve thought about writing something long and heartfelt, or doing a big old retrospective where I comb through old posts ripping the shit out […]
