Ultimate Stationery Giveaway – #ShopStationery – 12th April to 18th April 2021

The past year has been a difficult one for everyone, without a doubt. I for one have lost far too many loved ones and attended too many virtual funerals. As such, blogging kind of took a backseat as my mental health quickly suffered. However, I know I have missed it and there have been a lot of things that I wanted to share with everyone over the coming weeks. However, without further ado, I wanted to kick things off with the Ultimate Stationery Giveaway! For your chance to win over £1,500 worth of stationery goodies, continue to read this post and get involved. It is super easy to do so!

The Ultimate Stationery Giveaway:

Retailers have suffered heavy losses during these closures. Even when open, they have not necessarily made enough money to recuperate their losses. With this in mind, a new campaign has been created called #ShopStationery to encourage people to go outside, get some fresh air and replenish their stationery supplies! For a chance to win, all you have to do is:

  1. Visit your favourite local stationery store between 12th April – 18th April 2021
  2. Take a picture of yourself shopping for stationery
  3. Use #ShopStationery + tag National Stationery Week
  4. Share this photo on social media!

As if stationery lovers really needed a reason to buy more supplies, right?! But if you did, this is a perfect one! I do recommend that you continue to stay safe, however, by washing your hands regularly, wearing face masks and maintaining a social distance whilst out and about.

Halloween Tag – My Answers to the Hallotober Tag

In the spirit of Halloween, I thought it was an opportune time to get involved in a fun little Halloween tag – also known as the Hallotober Tag! I was tagged in this by Sabina over at RoseGold Reports, who is a relatively new blogger and I’m so pleased to see new bloggers surface into the community. This a new tag – perfect for this time of year, of course – so I am excited to see how far it goes!

Without further ado, let us get straight into it.

Design Cuts Live 2020 – The best event for designers!

For the past two weeks now, I have been taking part in an incredible event that I just had to shout out about. In honour of their 7th birthday, Design Cuts have opted to host an online event called Design Cuts Live 2020. Whilst it is not a stationery event, it does involve a lot of art and design – and I strongly believe that these things can help improve mental health. At least, for me, it’s been a lot of self-care and really helped me to relax in the stressful times. Best news: Most of this is completely free!

World Mental Health Day 2020 – Mental Health for all

It’s World Mental Health Day today! Every year, the World Health Organization comes up with a theme for the day. Normally, I would encourage you to reach out to your loved ones and see how they are doing today. However, this year’s theme is very apt for our trying times. After the year that all of us have had, the theme is appropriately “mental health for all”. So, today, I think it’s imperative that we all spend a bit of time doing something that helps improve our own mental health. If it’s something that helps others too then even better!
