Hi! My name is Kearstin, I am 24 years old and I am a graduate student in counseling living in southern LA with my husband, our two sons (ages 4 and 1.5) our cat, Sophie, and soon to be joined by a surprise baby this Fall. I am here mainly for swapping kawaii stationery, although I may occasionally participate in other swaps related to my interests. I was fairly active in the swapping community a few years ago, but life got ahead of me and I stepped away for a while. After finishing my undergraduate degree in psychology and moving twice I have found the time and space to pick back up one of my favorite hobbies! For pictures of my collection you can check out my Instagram profile here

Aside from Kawaii, I have many other interests and hobbies. I collect healing gemstones such as amethyst, rose quartz, and fluorite to name a few. I love tarot and oracle decks and have a beautiful collection of those as well. I am really into planning but am still experimenting with different systems and trying to find one that's perfect for me, I'm currently using the Happy Planner disc planner with the Stargazer theme as well as my Modern Women 2020 Lunar planner, but I also have a 6 ring binder and would love to use that to get more into bullet journaling. I am a novice folk herbalist and always love to geek out on different plants and making medicines and self-care products with them when I can. I love to read books on psychology, philosophy, spirituality, pregnancy, birth and motherhood, mental health, and herbalism. I love all things antique/vintage, especially note cards, stationery, and things of that nature. I love the various aesthetics of different decades from the 20s all the way into the 90s and early 2000s and things that reflect those such as well-curated pinterest boards, magazine clippings, vintage photographs, etc. Iconic times. These are just a few of my non-kawaii related interests, but if there is anything you would like to clarify please feel free, I'm not a hard person to please at all!
