Hello! I'm Lauren, 25 yo barista and an Aquarius (triple air sign). I used to be really active on here and in the instagram journaling community in 2020-22... I missed the connections I've made through mail and i need some more whimsy and in my life lol

Edit June 2026: I just rescued 2 kittens! They are a handful but I’m so happy they have a good home with me. They are littermate brothers named Ani and Obi (after Star Wars haha). I am a first time pet owner so I probably will be swapping a little less since my responsibilities have changed! Thanks for the understanding!

my interests are always changing and rotating, so I can’t promise to be swapping everyday, but some of my most prominent pastimes are anime/manga, crocheting, stationery, and music (listening, i unfortunately have no musical talent lol).

I also started my own sourdough starter in 2023, and she bakes so beautifully… focaccia is my favorite thing to make (and eat lol).

At the moment, my main swapping interests are tea swaps, I love trying cool blends. my favorites are anything mint, green, or oolong! I'm not the biggest sweetened tea fan lol. Big matcha enjoyer though.

My favorite colors are any shades of greens, browns, and beiges. I also love B&W stationery, vintage papers, and fruit themed stationery. Fruit stickers and star stickers are probably my most used items lol.

I mainly collect Sanrio and kawaii branded stationery, I love memo sheets and sticker flakes the most if I had to choose. Recently have enjoyed receiving recipe postcards and ANYTHING from small/your local artists!

some of my favorite anime series: Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Love Live! and Bleach. The MAL link in my bio has my watchlist if you were really that interested lol.

My music taste changes and expands often, I love hearing music recommendations if there is an album or song you think I'd like :). I enjoy loud, higher BPM music and songs that are experimental. My favorite albums OAT (in no specific order) :

I Brought You my Bullets, You Brought Me You Love - My Chemical Romance

Number 1 Angel- Charli xcx

Addison- Addison Rae

Somewhere at the Bottom of the River...-La Dispute

Sublime- Sublime

I've only read a handful of manga series completely, but am always looking for recommendations! I have that habit of starting 100 different things and then forgetting overtime.. my favorite manga series so far are Ajin Demi Human, Goodnight Punpun, Blue Lock, Steel Ball Run, and Air Gear.

My absolute favorite sanrio character is Kiki from Little Twin stars! I love both Kiki and lala of course, I honestly just find their lore so silly and fun… Hangyodon and Pompom are my other favs

My biggest ISO is anything oji-San na panda stationery! he is so cute for real I would love to swap for some! I also really adore mini memos, and those memo coupons. another brand I have my eyes peeled for is the Korean stationery brand put so nyeon! I sold my Korean stationery collection in 2022 and I regret it LOL. Again, if you are interested in swapping for it send a PM!

I am always grateful for everything I receive, and I always try my best to make each letter I send fit your preferences! thank you in advance! If there is any delay in a swap from me, please do send me a PM and i'll make it right! Happy Swapping!
