[Pen/Pencil Review] Pilot G2 Fashion Collection
This has been an emotional week so this is kind of thrown together. It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Pilot pens and ink. The G2 has been go to ink. So when I discovered Target has an “exclusive” set of G2s (the Fashion Collection), I had to go ahead and pick them up, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Paper Mate InkJoy Gel – Fashion Colors
Today’s blog post is a revisit that isn’t a revisit. Today we meet the Paper Mate InkJoy GEL pen. These are retractable pens with something that makes me happy – “medium” points in 0.7mm and “fine” points in 0.5mm AS IT SHOULD BE! Which made me say, “Okay, let’s do this.” The ink is really […]

Even though I think I still have Christmas pens to review, I’m going to do my next birthday pen. So Many Pens. So Little Time! But they will eventually all get done. This week is a brand I’ve not featured often, they’re not a big part of my rotation, so it’s a nice change. Today […]
