• Revenge of the Pencil Pushers

  I love everything about pencils: the sound of graphite on paper, the feel of polished wood, the way their smell reminds me of Mrs. Viale, my first grade teacher. So when I came across the designs at Pen Pencil Stencil, I was understandably excited. That lead-legged mariner above is the PPS Pencil Pirate, and there are many more arty goodies after the jump: Read More...

• Show Others Your Charisma

  You know those people at the after-work party or networking event who seem to effortlessly work the room, winning over friends and admirers with every dimpled smile or firm handshake? That's so not me. And I'm totally going to a happy hour tonight, where I will barely know anybody, and I will end up hiding in a corner, sobbing into my glass(es) of wine.  All of the women's mag writers say that you should combat shyness br pretending you're not shy. I want to slap these people. Perhaps I could just hand out these? Read More...

• Can You Smell What The Pencil Is Cooking?

  I swear this: you bring these smell-able pencils anywhere near me, and they will end up going straight up my nose. Fun fact: I am five years old. In all honesty, the amount of time I spent smelling markers while growing up (the scented ones, dur), and getting different colors all over my schnozzle… Let’s just say it was a lot. So I appreciate these Smencils, because they’ll get all over your nose, but it’ll HURT. Those markers were soft. These are sharp pencils. What the inveterate writing-implement sniffer needs is a little negative reinforcement. Some other good news: They’re made of recycled newspaper; They come in several delightful scents, including watermelon, cherry, grape, root beer, bubble gum and more; they’re sold in 10 packs, and won’t break the budget; and I already have so many markers stuck in nose, these wouldn’t even fit if I tried. Another fun-fact: this is the grossest post I’ve ever written for this blog!
