Back when you were a child customising your outfit meant taking to your wardrobe with a pair of kitchen scissors and snipping off a random trouser leg here and an odd sleeve there (much to your parents’ dismay). Now that you’re older and (potentially) wiser, there’s a much more stylish (and sustainable) way to inject some cool into your clothes.

Mustard’s retro Pin Badges are a quirky way to customise your clothes and accessories without leaving any permanent damage (i.e. without leading to a wardrobe filled with holey t-shirts). Simply attach the Pins to your jacket, rucksack, or even your pencil case and then unfasten them when you want to change your vibe.

We even have retro Pin Badges to suit any mood thanks to our different logos. If you’re feeling fruity, try our Banana Pin Badges, including a Banana Straw Cup Pin, a Peeled Banana Pin and a Bunch of Bananas Pin. If you fancy something quirky then go for our T-Rex Pin Badges, which feature a Bicycle Riding T-Rex, a Magenta T-Rex, and a Headphone Wearing T-Rex. And if you’re looking for classic pin-up perfection then our Wink Pin Badges are ideal thanks to the striking mixture of Eyes, Lips and Winking Pins.

If only we knew about retro pin badges before we took to our school uniform with a magic marker…

From the catwalk to the high street, dinosaurs are far from extinct when it comes to fashion. 

Retro, wacky and fun, our prehistoric pals are the trend to be touting at the moment, with the top dino pick of the fashion food chain being none other than Tyrannosaurus rex. Starring on Coach jumpers and adorning Paul Smith Shirts, they’ve even made it onto Topshop t-shirts. T-Rex – now just as much as 66 million years ago – remains alpha.

Thankfully, T-Rex needn’t just be a feature of your wardrobe. Mustard’s fun and cool T-Rex collection contains all the quirky stationery you need to bring him (or her) to work.

With a pop-art inspired range of accessories to choose from – including lunch boxes, water bottles, page markers, and highlighters – our retro T-Rex collection is sure to make your desk dino-mite. While it might be doubtful whether or not T-Rex can ride a bike a-la our Memo Block considering they can’t even high-five, the collection is a quirky stationery edit that’s perfect for gifting (our Magenta and Lime Highlighters are the ideal stocking fillers) and even better for keeping all to yourself.

While the market might trick you into thinking that all gadgets need to be some kind of square block in varying shades of black and grey, this isn’t strictly true. In a sea of boring tech, Mustard have come up with a rather novel way of shaking things up. In fact, you might say that we’ve gone totally bananas…

Kiss goodbye to your bog-standard audio splitter and wave farewell to your painfully dull USB hub: the time has come to peel the positivity with our colourful, Summer-inspired, fruity tech. Our Banana Audio Splitter and Banana USB Hub are the fun accessories you need to take your gadgets from zero to hero and are also the perfect gift ideas.

Whether you’er splitting your tunes with a friend or connecting all your essential gizmos at once, carrying around a kooky banana-shaped device is bound to make you feel kinda funky. And in a good way.

Let’s give tech some appeel. Let’s get fruity.

Here at Mustard, we love a good bullet journal binge (who doesn’t). However, looking at bullet journaling online is a bit like entering a black hole. Once you start perusing one pretty page, suddenly it’s 7 hours later, it’s dark outside and you’ve started thinking in square boxes and super thin coloured pens.

While you could spend your Friday evening trawling through social media in search of spicy bullet journal accounts, we think you just might have other plans (social ones potentially, but not necessarily; re-watching Pulp Fiction on your lemon wouldn’t be half-bad).

With this in mind, we’ve done the hard work for you and have created a short list of our favourite bullet journal Instagram accounts. Check out our 5 Instagrams To Follow If You’re Bullet Journal Obsessed.

Pages 2 Plans

 

 

There’s something about Spring that has me feeling motivated and ready to get back on track! I’ve got a bit going on at the moment and needed to sort it all out, so I’ve used this handy tool I learnt from @iamlisajacobs. Rapid log on the right first then sort priority tasks into the sections on the left (finish, do, celebrate, study & start)✨ . Also, I’ve had a huge influx of new followers over the past 48 hours! Hello, welcome! ☺️ Curious to know where you’re all from & how you found me?!

Show Me Your Planner

 

 

This is about as artistic as I get. I’m going to use my @hobonichi1101 to keep track of our Hawaii plans this summer. I had to white out a bunch of stuff for instagram, but here is what our first day will look like. I’ll have flight details, rental car information, condo, where to hit the beach, and of course, eat!⠀ .⠀ What I DIDN”T white out was all the smudginess of my stamps. I love this aloha stamp set from @sweetstampshop, but man, stamping is not easy for this newbie. Somehow I smudged the palm tree with my elbow. My elbow! #mistakeshappen. I wanted to leave that detail in to keep it real. ⠀ .⠀ The @sakuraofamerica koi brush pens are seriously the bomb. They’re smaller than tombow dual brush pens, but come in just as many amazing colors, and they’re super easy to work with. ⠀ .⠀ Any Maui travel suggestions for me? We’re taking everyone, so family-friendly spots are a must. Thanks!!⠀ .⠀ If you’re looking for these awesome planner supplies (and more!) click on the link in my bio to check out my new and improved Amazon store.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #bujo #planneraddict #plannercommunity #bujojunkies #bulletjournaling #planwithme #journal #showmeyourplanner #bujoinspire #bujolove #handlettering #hobonichi #sakuraofamerica #sweetstampshop #showmeyourplanner #zenofplanning #immtribe #bohoberrytribe #handlettering

If you’ve eaten one too many crosushis (croissant sushi – and yep, it’s as weird as it sounds) and you’re starting to lose faith in the numerous health fads that get bombarded your way, then we’ve got just the podcast for you: The Nutrition Diva.

Fronted by registered dietitian Monica Reinagel, a.k.a. The Nutrition Diva (can we all get a sassy alter ego please?), the podcast covers food trends and comes to a verdict on whether they’re legit or not. Wondering whether sparkling water makes you hungry? If fish oil is overrated? If mushroom coffee *gross* is worth the hype? The Nutrition Diva is your gal.

Episodes are available on Apple Podcasts and only last ten minutes long, making them perfect for slotting into your busy schedule.

Reinagel claims, “I’m here to sort food facts from fiction, separate the good information from the bad, and to make eating healthy just a little bit easier – and a lot saner.”

As long as it doesn’t involve drinking mushroom coffee, we’re in.

Eat happy!

Ah summer. The season of sticky sun cream, annual leave and that weird flurry of flying ants that make an appearance for 48 hours and 48 hours only (we don’t want to know where they spend the rest of their time).

While the endlessly long evenings make a strong case for being the best part of this time of year, we think summer snacking just might edge the win. From picnics in the park, BBQs in the back garden and a poorly timed ice-lolly on the tube, summer snacking really is superior purely because of its al-fresco nature.

One thing this means is that your Tupperware game has got to be strong. Really strong. Turning up to your mate’s with a potato salad in a grubby Celebrations tin just won’t cut it.

Thankfully, here at Mustard we’ve got just the colourful accessory to ensure that your food transportation stands out: our Banana Snack Boxes.

Coming in an assortment of sizes and featuring some pretty snazzy fruity patterns, not only can you bring your foodie treats to the party with ease but you can also stack the containers once you’re finished with them. Ample cupboard space is a luxury that we can’t all afford, after all.

And if you don’t feel like sharing your snacks (we don’t blame you), these Boxes are also perfect for storing your office lunch.

Get ready to utter the most wicked word in your vocabulary because there’s now a way to turn profanity into progress with mental health charity MQ’s Swearbox. 

MQ are bringing their We Swear campaign to the big smoke. Setting up in Old Street, East London, the We Swear campaign will feature the biggest swearbox that London has ever seen.

And if you’re thinking what the @%*! is all this about, the potty-mouthed pop-up is being set up in aid of tackling mental illness through research.

Open all day, every day in July, the We Swear campaign will include an exhibition showing celebrities getting sweary about the state of mental illness, powerful personal stories from MQ supporters and short talks from scientists who are using their research to take on mental health.

To find the MQ Swearbox just pop down to Old Street station and enjoy the feeling of turning the air blue for a very good cause indeed. Nothing says bonding like a good old cursing session.

At Mustard we’re really passionate about mental health and we can’t think of a more entertaining way of raising awareness and money for tackling mental illness.

Find out more here.

Live happy!
