The Seven Year Pen from Seltzer Goods (pictured on top of my Erin Condren Life Planner)

Before my obsession with beauty products began, my heart belonged to stationary. For as long as I can remember, I've obsessively hoarded collected pens, pencils, markers, notebooks, and post its. Yes, it's a bonafide obsession. I don't know if it stems from the fact that I'm a writer or what, but there is nothing in the world to me like a good pen and the smell of brand new paper.
