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.

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 […]
