My ongoing work as a physician on the front lines of this pandemic and the demands that the most recent COVID-19 surge placed upon me sapped my will, leaving me with precious little time and even less energy for other tasks. Now that we are at the tail end of the Omicron variant’s destructive toll, […] read more

I was really happy to see Japanese stationery brand Kunisawa recently re-introducing themselves with a completely revised product lineup (read the re-review HERE!). Their confidence in the updated paper quality turned out to be absolutely justified, finally combining the stunning business-chic notebook designs with fantastic - consistent - quality Japanese paper on the inside. But alongside the updated Kunisawa products, they also sent a few other products that certainly... read more

Occasionally those Facebook and Instagram ads work, and I purchase something I haven’t otherwise seen or heard about. Such is the case with the Notebook Therapy Tsuki ‘Kinoko’ Limited Edition Bullet Journal ($27.98). Notebook Therapy is a shop inspired by a love of East Asian stationery and culture. After visiting many one-of-a-kind stationery shops in… The post Notebook Review: Notebook Therapy, Tsuki ‘Kinoko’ Limited Edition Bullet Journal appeared first... read more

Oh boy, have I been eyeing Onoto pens for a loooong time, before finally pulling the trigger on this Onoto Magna Sequoyah LE last year! I'm kicking myself for not getting one sooner because these pens are everything they're hyped up to be, and then some... Although 'hype' is perhaps not the right word to use with Onoto, because they actually seem quite underrepresented within our community. As with... read more

If anything, minimalist brand Ensso has proven over the years that they're not afraid to switch things up and try unique designs! In the continuously expanding lineup of Ensso products, no two pens look even remotely the same. For their latest pen, Ensso leaves behind the ultra-minimal aesthetic of their first full-sized fountain pen (the Ensso Piuma, reviewed HERE, still one of my absolute favorite metal pens!), instead looking back... read more

In the UK, junior doctors rotate every August. From August 2019 - August 2020, I decided not to do, what we call, a 'training job'.

A short update on the pen sale: I've updated the sale page to reflect the pens that are currently still available. PRICES HAVE BEEN LOWERED to sell. I think they represent a great value, especially since all these pens are in absolute 'Mint' condition (that is: you'll find no difference between a brand new pen)! For those that are interested, here are some PACKAGE DEALS to make the deal even better: Buy all... read more
