FAQS
Q: Where are you from?
A: I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭

Q: What do you do?
A: I'm a full-time mom who works from home, full-time too!

Q: Is Youtube your full-time job?
A: No. This is just a hobby. I enjoy sharing my love for fountain pens, stationery and everything in between

Q: Why is your channel called Lefty Karen?
A: I'm left-handed. I hope this channel can inspire other lefties to try fountain pens and journaling

Q: How long have you been enjoying fountain pens?
A: I'm quite new to fountain pens. I fell down the rabbit hole in 2021 during quarantines and lock-downs. As a lefty, my main concern was ink smudging and that fountain pen nibs are only for right-handed people. But I've since come to love everything about fountain pens. As a lefty, it's tricky using some pens but I also appreciate manufacturers creating left-handed nibs.
I've also learned about nibsmiths / nibmeisters who can customize the grind of your fountain pen and make it work for you a little better.

Q: Do you still use ballpoint pens?
A: Definitely! As much as I love fountain pens, ballpoint pens are still very practical to carry around. I still use ballpoint pens to sign documents and application forms, especially if the papers used for those forms are not fountain pen friendly

Q: Tips for first time journalers / planners?
A: Be easy on yourself. Journaling for me is a therapeutic hobby and I don't want to stress myself just to write something everyday. Write depending on your mood. Write for your heart and soul

The Twisbi pens have captured my heart. I will soon have the black with rose gold for a total of 4. I love the thoughtfulness of letting go of what we no longer enjoy to someone who will appreciate it more.

The Platinum Curidas mechanism is fascinating! Thank you po for sharing!❤

The clip is removable from what I heard, so that’s a cool feature!

Hello po! Stumbled upon this channel recently, got my Aurora Weeks from someone in an FB group and she was also a Karen I think. New subscriber!

🥺😭 I've been looking for a folder like that one everywhere in but it doesn't exist here in the Netherlands.
Last year I was about to buy a Platinum Curidas but I ended up getting the Pilot Capless thanks to my husband that gifted it to me and it's soooo handy to have a retractable pen 😍 specially with children around. I would love to know about your experience with the Curidas maybe I'll get it some day.
I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Hi! Where do you usually sell your de-stashed fountain pens? Thanks!

Wow! I would love to start my fountain collection too, however many said, when you start it, it’s like falling in a rabbit hole.

I wanted to start with a TWSBI rose gold too. ❤️☺️
