It’s been quite the wild ride 2021, and we’re left feeling a sense of relief and saying to ourselves “Phew, we made it. We survived.”
Here’s a look back at the year through Mustard coloured glasses.

Magnets. Pretty useful little things, right? We definitely agree, especially when our lockers are the perfect surface for them (move over fridges!) We’re sharing all of the pretty, practical and sometimes just kinda hilarious ways to use Wordbits on our lockers.

We like to think that being sisters is our special business super power! Working with someone you know inside and out really makes things a whole lot easier. It brings a level of trust that is hard to find in any other relationship, you know each others strengths (and weaknesses) and have a deep understanding of what we each need/want/wish for. We wrote a whole blog post about how our relationship has helped (and sometimes hindered... but mostly helped!) us along the way. As it turns out, we aren't the only ones to have discovered this business 'hack'! There are a...

We share ten of our favourite business-y podcasts which have helped us along the way - perfect for a commute (a commute? We've forgotten what that looks like!), when you need something to listen to and focus, or if you want to unwind. Wherever and however you listen to your podcasts, we recommend giving these ones a go!

The locker is a staple in American culture so Mustard just works, it is something we have known we would do since we started the business, and we feel so lucky that we are able to make it happen already. It’s a huge new venture for us as we haven’t launched in a new country since we launched in the UK way back in 2018, but we quickly realised we were going to have to do this one a little differently. For starters, we don’t have a third sister who lives in America to manage everything on the ground and help set up the business! We needed someone to fill that gap, that’s where Hannah comes in! We’d love to introduce you to the newest member of the Mustard family, we think she’s awesome!

We are Becca + Jess. We are sisters. We are similar. We look similar (apparently, although we can't see it!) We have lots of the same mannerisms and catchphrases, we pick up on what one another says. We laugh at the same time and at the same things. We have similar tastes. We have goals that are aligned. But... we are also quite different.

Over the last few months, Mustard has welcomed a few new friendly faces to our team. With Em on maternity leave and Lizzy moving into a new role, we were in need of some new Customer Happiness Heroes. Say hi to Paris in Australia and Lu in the UK! We feel so lucky to have found these two when we did and have them as part of our locker loving family.

International Women's Day is celebrated every year on 8th March. It is a day to both celebrate the achievements of women all over the world, and also recognise the continuing gender disparity in society and push for social, economic, cultural and political change. As a business owned by two women, International Women's Day felt important for us and we wanted to shout about it! We are choosing to celebrate women in business, our family, friends and wonderful team.

As we creep over the finish line of the year that will forever be etched in our collective memory as 'the year of face masks and hand sanitiser', we wanted to take a deep breath and reflect on the last 12 months.
It's been a lot.
