A Tour of my Notebooks

It’s safe to say that I have quite the collection. If you know me as a stationery enthusiast, then this probably doesn’t come as a surprise to you. Today, I thought I would share this collection and what I use each notebook for. Without further ado, let’s get to it!

The Ink Pot Notebook – Lilac

My Ink Pot notebook is probably the one I use the most often. The reason why I use this one the most is this is the notebook that holds my Bullet Journal. If you are aware of the Bullet Journal system, then you know that people tend to use that system every day, and that’s certainly the case for me.

I love this notebook so much. It’s such amazing quality with 160gsm paper, so practically any medium can be used in it. They’re also customisable, which I love!

Ink Pot Notebook – Pink

Yes, I have two notebooks from the Ink Pot. This was my first notebook from them and it ended up being done incorrectly. Bless the people at Ink Pot though, they sent me a brand new one and told me I could keep this one as a practice journal. And that’s exactly what I use it for! I practice spread layouts, swatch pens, and doodle too!

Disclaimer – I am not sponsored by Ink Pot. I am not being paid to say any of this. I just really like their notebooks. I have a discount code that gives you 10% off when you spend £15 and above. This isn’t an affiliate code or anything but it is there if you would like it! Okay, back to the post.

Moleskine Notebook

This is the notebook I use for my daily journal. I love having thinner pages for my daily journal, so the Moleskine notebook is perfect for me. I just love having the ghosting effect as it gives off that used feel which I really like.

In terms of a daily journal and what that is, I basically just journal about my day and document some other things too. I use this journal every day and I love using it. It’s such a lovely thing to look back on.

Travelers Notebook

The travelers notebook is a notebook I don’t use as often as some of the others I’ve already mentioned. I use this as a place to write about a certain topic or tackle a journal prompt from somewhere. I really like using this journal when I have something on my mind that I need to get down on paper too. I would say there’s enough space for 4 inserts and I’m currently on my third. I will definitely buy another cover and more inserts soon when everything is filled up as I love using it.

Lemome Notebook

I can’t lie, I still don’t know what to call what I do in this journal. I use this to document what I’m consuming each month in terms of films, tv, music, and books. I used to use this notebook as just a pure reading journal and I really liked using it for that. I just wanted to expand to other things I consumed like the things I watched and listened to. I use this journal every day due to the various trackers I have and I really like it.

Wooopy Notebook

I have had this Wooopy Notebook for a while and initially, I didn’t know what to do with it. Now, I use it to document my weight loss as that’s something I’m focusing on this year. I track my weight loss, what exercise I’m doing, what food I’m eating, and I reflect each day by journaling.

Leuchtturm 1917 Notebook – Pink

I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with this notebook. The first time I used this notebook was for my Bullet Journal back in 2018 which did not work out at all. The pages are so thin in these notebooks and for my Bullet Journal, I don’t like that. I wanted to start a creative journal, whereby I basically just do a bunch of collaging with no writing. I do this when I’m feeling particularly anxious as I find this so therapeutic and beneficial to me. I think the thin pages are perfect for this too.

Leuchtturm 1917 Notebook – Yellow

I won this notebook via a giveaway thanks to Cult Pens and I had absolutely no idea what to do with it. I have a lot of washi tape so I thought I would use this notebook to swatch my washi tape! I love using it for this and I lowkey love the way it looks.

And that, my friends, completes the notebook tour. Thank you so much for reading.
