I'm so over keeping my bullet journal minimal these days. I've not gone completely the other way, as it can be too much for me to maintain, but I like a splash of colour, some brush lettered headings, and the chance to throw in some doodles. Of course, I'm completely lacking in artistic talent, so… Continue reading Book review: Journal With Purpose by Helen Colebrook
Life is far from perfect right now. So much is outside of our control and we can't participate in many of the activities which usually bring us joy.

Wanna know if it's worth the hype? Beautiful, right? And that's a pretty bold claim: 'No ghosting or bleeding. Perfect for… Continue reading Bullet journal review: Archer & Olive
I'd been meaning to try a 160gsm bullet journal for a while but mainly for lettering purposes. I'm in a bit of a Catch-22 with journals, as I like to letter and I like a lot of pages, but the higher the gsm, the lower the page number. When I saw that Notebook Therapy had… Continue reading Bullet journal review: Tsuki 160gsm journal
