#DESKDIARIES ✍️ So far, autumn at my desk is fille #DESKDIARIES ✍️ So far, autumn at my desk is filled with cozy journaling sessions, witchy video games, new iPhone 18 Pro setups, and annotating the book I’m reading. I wrote all about this on my blog —🔗 you know where.

35+ journals and 23+ years later, I’m so grateful 35+ journals and 23+ years later, I’m so grateful I wrote it all down. ✍️ This is your sign to start or keep journaling. The ordinary days, the anxious thoughts, the highs and the lows—all of it. Start now. Keep going. 🫶🏻 You’ll be so happy you did someday.

Go reread your old journals!! Trust me. Every se Go reread your old journals!! Trust me. Every season when I’m done with a notebook, I reread my old entries and reflect on the last few months. Then I pull out my seasonal journal from the previous year and see where I was a year ago. And the year before that. Sometimes I notice I’m still stuck in my ways. Sometimes there’s proof I’ve grown so much. Either way, I’m always so grateful I documented my life.

GIFTED • New notebooks! 👀 @leuchtturm1917usa sent GIFTED • New notebooks! 👀 @leuchtturm1917usa sent me their new Jottbook Pur in both A5 and A6, and I was so excited to check them out. These lightweight little notebooks are perfect for on-the-go note-taking and come in so many cute colors. 🌈 I particularly love the A6 size, and how these both lay perfectly flat. And they fit in well with my usual Leuchtturm1917 B6+ (for comparison!) After brainstorming some ways to add this notebook to my lineup or ecosystem, here’s what I got: — Rough drafts for poems, stories, blog posts — Yearly or seasonal list collections — Leather journal inserts — Bookish or study notes (the A6 can easily fit in the back of a book!) — Month-to-month journaling — Single project notebook — Recipe/hobby journal — Brain dump notebook — Venting or therapy journal (won’t feel as guilty throwing out when done since it’s so small and affordable!) What else could I use these notebooks for? 🤔 Any ideas? Thank you L1917 for sending me these to try. 🫶🏻 🏷️ #deskdiaries #unboxing #stationeryhaul #notebooks #journalcommunity [Journal unboxing, notebook unboxing, stationery unboxing, A6 notebook, A5 notebook, notebook haul]
