WELCOME

This blog has been around in one form or another since 2010. It’s an amalgamation of who I was, who I am, and who I’m hoping to be. Sometimes it’s about beauty products. Other times (most of the time) it’s about planning. Occasionally there’s business stuff and even rarer board game content.

So thanks for stopping by, reading somthing long-form in a world of fast information, and hanging out with me on my slice of the internet.

Sincerely,

Kayla

 

it's me

Three Years of Oh, Hello Stationery Co.

Today marks the third anniversary of Oh, Hello Stationery Co.  What. How is that even possible. I still feel like I'm that same, unsure girl who opened her shop up back in 2014. But now the stakes are higher, the competition stiffer, and everything's a whole lot...
