As with a lot of brands, I first saw “i am a” on their Instagram. They got in touch to ask if they could send me some samples, and of course I said yes, as their stuff looks so cute! Their tag line is “we make you smile” and as soon as I picked the package… Read more »
It’s no secret that I love Love LOVE the Perfetto pencils by Louise Fili, so you can imagine my excitement when I found out Princeton Architectural Press were bringing out a coloured version! Behold: Tutti Frutti. The packaging is based on the same brilliant design as the Perfetto box, but with a fruity twist! I… Read more »
In case you don’t know, it’s National Handwriting Day today! I’ve been thinking about my handwriting a lot lately… I don’t really like it. It’s fine, but it’s nothing special and I’d like to improve.

These are one of those things that I bought safe in the knowledge that I absolutely did not need, but I HAD to have. I am obsessed with the packaging, almost to the point that the functionality of the pencils wouldn’t have mattered to me (but don’t worry, they’re great too). These pencils and their… Read more »
I’m trying out video reviewing for the first time (and am slightly nervous about it), and have chosen the lovely Signet 100 pencils by Pedlars. Take a look below: What do you think (I already know it’s too long…)? Let me know below!
It kind of pains me to be doing anything Christmas related before December 1st, but I suppose one has to be organised… There’s too much out there to fit in one post so I’ll be doing a few over the next few weeks. I’m going to do 3 (I think); one on gift sets, one of… Read more »
