You heard us right. Problems are awesome.  Why? Because it means you’re in the game of life. What’s the point of things if it’s all good all the time? It’s like hitting a tennis ball against a wall. It's easy and kind of fun (I guess), but honestly, it's probably a bit boring, repetitive, and definitely not challenging. No one's winning (or losing) Wimbledon up against a brick wall—not even the wall.  Maybe you’ve got everything you want and need? Perhaps you’re still in manifestation mode. Or possibly there’s a 'Future You' out there right now yelling down a time...

That’s how we feel after spending time creating.  Tape, stickers, and wax are just some of the essential ingredients for combating creative lethargy and facilitating active imagination. It’s true. Art and crafting can make you feel authentic, vulnerable and strong. But honestly, the list is so long that we need to brace ourselves for a marathon of good things that art can do for you.  Ready? Here’s 8!  Increases flow and focus. Bullseye! Gently as we go.  Stimulates brain growth! Wow! Releases dopamine. Sweet, sweet dopamine  Makes you feel the highs of accomplishment as well as a calm, neutral zen...

And Come See Us at Pulp.  We can tell you because we have lived it. We might not be quite as old as your Grannie (yet!), but we do remember a few things about screen-free life. Being unplugged without intention, but just because it didn't exist yet!  Let us give you an idea of what life without screens looks like. It goes a little something like this:  In-person connections. Visit friends! Go see movies! Enter the mosh pit! (ie concerts) Talking on the phone? Pick up that rectangular prism and yap! Connect with your mouthparts. Say G’day, Hello, Hola, Bonjour—not with...

You Know It’s True.  The special spirit in your life: whether it’s your Mum, Dad, Aunty, Uncle, Grannie, or Theo, the Labradoodle. They are there for you. Every. Single. Day. Celebrate once, twice, three times! And if you’re on the receiving end of things, then YES, we see, hear and love you!  Before we get onto the business side of things, let’s party up front (reverse mullet-style), and playfully look into the very beginnings of honouring ‘Mother’.  Fertility, florals and fire. What a trio! The time around what we know as ‘Mother’s Day’ coincides with seasonal shift and renewal. A...

When was the first gift ever given? Hint: It was before history was even recorded.  If you weren’t sure, didn't know, or couldn’t guess, gift giving is a fundamental part of human history.  Nomadic tribes in the Paleolithic era gave ‘gifts’ to express respect and friendship and to strengthen alliances between individuals and communities. In short, it was a survival tactic as well as a feel-good neighbourly gesture. Awww.  But what is a gift without a note? Still pretty good! Maybe you forgot the card, maybe the shops closed before you could arrive, maybe you ran out of time.  But...
