Eco Tip : Did you know that on average a regular household uses about 4 makeup pads every day, rounding up to around 1,500 per year ? And that is at the low end… To get a quick picture on the impact this everyday item has on our waste management, multiply that by the number of households in your own neighborhood, and you will see how humongous this adds up to, especially considering that make-up pads, cleaning pads and other hygiene product are designed to withstand use and not fall apart while getting wet or torn, which will translate into years before the item will eventually biodegrade, if ever. So start switching your single use staples for reusable ones and make a difference for the health of our planet.

The mindful pen is best accessory to keep young minds in effervescence and put those hands at work, paper style.

The mindful pen has a proven history in engaging students to handwrite. Where left on the teacher’s desk, students would go and ask permission to borrow the colorful flowery pens to do their classwork. The cheerful and bright end cap helps relieve stress and provides material for the wandering mind to induce creativity. The flowers are recycled from the after market and the universal format of the mindful pen’s cap makes it a breeze to switch for a new pen once it is empty. Just give it a try, you will indubitably fall head over heel in love with it ! And who knows, you might even want to go back to handwriting your own material too…

Care : Use. Reuse. A lot.

Material : Standard universal pen, new material only + recycled flower.

Dimensions : Just like a pen.
