Every now and then, it’s easy to fall into a bit of a mood slump. Everybody has those days, and may need a little pick-me-up to feel better. You can eat a bit of chocolate, watch your favourite film, call a friend over or just laze around in you PJs and relax. It’s always great to have options. That’s why, today, I’m going to talk about a few more ways you can brighten up your day – with school stationary!
There’s nothing like doing crafty stuff while you’re down in the dumps – it’s an instant mood lift. Especially if you’re in the middle of homework and want to take a nice, productive break to get your creative juices flowing. So, if you’re ready for some surprises and smiles with
school stationary, keep reading this blog.
Here are a few ways I like to unwind while admiring my fun fashion school stationary from Surprises & Smiles!
Depending on what you want to accomplish and how much time you have available, organising your stationery can take only a few minutes or it can take hours. You might decide to rearrange the pens on your desk, go through your washi tape collection and arrange them all according to colour, size, or theme, or maybe you'll organise your stickers, notepads or paper.
Whatever you choose to do, it will make you think of all the great school stationery items you have on hand and may inspire you to engage in some more crafty stuff and fun fashion activities!
Journaling has several recognised advantages, including the ability to reduce stress and anxiety, focus better, and provide a constructive outlet for your thoughts and energy. Gratitude diaries are a wonderful way to get your diary habit started and are sure to make you feel better.
All you need is a notepad to get started. Make it a habit to write down three things each day for which you are grateful. Take some time to consider your day and make a list of possible things; it could be anything that makes you smile. You'll begin to realise that even on the most unexceptional or challenging days, you'll find something to be grateful and happy for.
This one has two sources of optimism. First of all, having pen pals or using services like Postcrossing might make it possible for you to get encouraging mail at any time. Second, writing a note or letter to a pen buddy or just to a friend to brighten their day while seated among attractive and colourful stationery is likely to make you feel better.
You can compose a lengthy letter filled with conversation, use vibrant ink, create simple postal art and simply lose yourself for a bit in your stationery supplies and their companionship.
Another thing you can do if you’re ready for a pen pal, is to write little happy mail to yourself! You can write letters for you to open at any given point in time – like a time capsule of surprises and smiles for when you’re older. You can even use sticky notes and write positive messages on them to look at while you work. Or simply write down your favourite quotes from books, TV shows, or your favourite character. This will keep you motivated and also cheer you up whenever you need a pick-me-up.

It can be really soothing and calming to take some time to sit down and colour. Playing with colourful pencils, vibrant felt tips, and possibly even paints can be enjoyable. You can reward yourself and buy one or more colouring books so that you always have something to settle down with for a quiet half-hour, or you can print off countless different colouring pages for free from various websites. You can find all the fun fashion school stationary and crafty supplies you need here at Surprises & Smiles!
