Girlawhirl's first step, when writing checks, is to use a pen with ink that can't be washed away. According to CBS News, someone's identity is stolen every 79 seconds and the Federal Trade Commission says identity theft costs its victims more than five billion dollars each year, not to mention the average 30 hours each victim spends fixing the damage. With stats like that, Girlawhirl knows she's got to protect herself.

Her check writing pens of choice? Permanent ink pens from Pilot Pen®. She loves the PermaBall® for its easy writing and fun colors, like purple, pink and orange. The smooth easy-to grip pen is just like an average ball point pen, but this one has the permanence Girlawhirl can depend on.

She also makes sure to keep a G2 mini® with her at all times. The little retractable click-top pens are water and smear resistant and just the right size to fit in even the tiniest of Girlawhirl's beloved handbags. And with some great colors of its own, like turquoise and burgundy, they're just plain fun!

Go Get It!
