My whole life I hated cilantro and my mom made me feel like I was just “being picky”, until I learned that a lot of people experience it as a “soapy” flavour and it’s likely a genetic thing!

My newest product is inspired by my experiences. If cilantro wants so badly to be soap, then let it be soap! These are the Cilan-troll Paper Soap leaf flakes, and they’re partially hand made by me as well. They turned out really pretty, not gonna lie.

I’ve created a Bargain Box page to put all of the clearance / flawed products all in one place. I felt that adding the discounted options in the main product pages was making things a bit cluttered so I wanted to try to put everything on one spot.

You’ll really appreciate it if you’re on a tight budget! The stock on the page may change frequently as I go through inventory.

You can find links to the Bargain Box in the product descriptions of items that are currently in it.

Hello! Remember the Pencil Pals pencils? You can buy a pencil with a unique code on it, and one other stranger in the world will also have a pencil with that code…

Anyway, there’s now a mini website to more easily connect you with your pal!

So you may have seen that the mugs are finally back in stock after forever! The ceramics manufacturer was trying to improve the eyes area because there were a lot of problems with the first batch (especially a lot of asymmetrical eyes) where I had to sell a lot of mugs at a big discount.

So far this new batch is a bit of an improvement! The eyes are a bit larger though which doesn’t bother me. This time the white colour is more creamy, whereas originally is was more of a light grey. I think when it comes to using the mug in person, the creamy colour is really nice – however it’s a bit brighter so it doesn’t photograph as well as the grey one did (as you can tell!).

Once again, I’m going to put aside the mugs with little / large imperfections to sell at discount prices, but I probably won’t list those until much later on. However, if you’re on a budget and really want a mug at a discount price right now, please e-mail me and I’ll give you some options for a flawed one!

The latest Wask product are tiny little pencils! But they’re actually painted matches. I make these myself, so as usual they’re made in smaller batches and not often. It was just one of those ideas I had for years because I was angry that it isn’t an actual product because they’re so cute – so yeah, here’s my version!

Check them out here.

The latest Wask product is a little scented air freshener specially made for your desk! It’s a two-piece pine tree that slots together to form a little standing decor piece that looks beautiful and smells fresh too.

It’s my first time ever making branded boxes!
I’m excited because for Wask I always keep all of the packaging as simple and inexpensive as I could, so that I can have more money to spend on making fun new products. It turns out these branded boxes cost a little less than my last ones, and require waaaaaay less assembly time! Win-win.

I still have a lot of products packaged in the previous white slide boxes, but eventually all the tiny products will come in these new ones.
