Unboxing my new Paper Republic haul. 📦  Like many Unboxing my new Paper Republic haul. 📦  Like many of us in the notebook community, I’ve already been thinking about my 2027 lineup. I’m keeping an A6 Paper Republic leather journal as an inbox in my system, but for the new year I wanted to upgrade to a Le Portfolio. 🥰 I’ve checked back for months and this folio CONSTANTLY sells out, so I’m glad I managed to snatch one up while it was in stock! I accidentally ordered plain notebooks (that’s how much of a rush I was in, haha), but decided I will use them for doodle practice and free planning I tend to only do on my iPad. Do you use a @paper_republic multi-notebook system? What inserts do you have in yours?? 🏷️ #unboxingvideo #journalcommunity #leatherjournal #notebooks #stationeryhaul

I always get so many questions about my weekly setup so I thought I’d walk you through it. This setup took a lot of trial and error for me, but after weeks of trying different things, this layout has worked for me for almost a year now. And I love that it only takes 5-10 minutes to set up! I honestly don’t know where I’d be without the Alastair method, so if you haven’t heard of it, I definitely recommend looking it up. After this weekly dashboard spread, I use a traditional bullet journal rolling daily log for the week as I go — no other setup required. But this page is where I flip to first when I’m planning my days and migrating tasks. I’m curious: what’s one thing that’s always on your weekly spread?? 🤔 Notebook B6+: @leuchtturm1917usa Method: @bulletjournal 🏷️ #journaling #journalcommunity #bulletjournaling #bujospread #planwithme Bullet journal inspo, aesthetic journal, weekly planning, bujo spread ideas, weekly setup, bujo layout, easy bullet journal, minimal bullet journal

Half murder mystery, half coming of age story, it explores the emotional roller coaster of female friend groups, love triangles, and tragic loss. I was enraged, elated, heartbroken, and hopeful. Highly recommend checking this one out! 🐜 🐜 🐜 @langleav is also running a giveaway on her account, so go enter if you’d like to win a copy! Happy Pub Day, Lang 🫶🏻 🏷️ #booksbooksandmorebooks #whatimreading #bookreviewer #fictionbooks #bookstagramming
