April is finally arriving and I don’t know about you but I have found that the first three months of this year could have been an entire year. The world is changing fast and trying to keep up in my bullet journal has been next to impossible. I wanted to adjust the way I bullet journal to keep up with my ever changing productivity levels in this period of time. I’m also adjusting to trying out a new schedule to help me stay on track with my work and household chores. Additionally, due to massive swings in my emotions in March, I’ve brought back myRead More →

We have 29 days in February this year. That’s one extra day to make your goals a reality. One extra day to get in self care. One extra day to enjoy your family. This year my extra day will probably be spent on self care. That’s right instead of chasing my goals like I do almost every other day of the year, I will be turning into a blanket burrito. Curled up in bed, with my tablet, and reading for the entire day. So I decided to take my favorite self care activity and turn it into my monthly bullet journal theme for February. TableRead More →

I am a huge Micron Fineliner fan. I actually use them for all my writing in my bullet journal. Lately I find myself mimicking brush lettering with it and to be honest it’s so much easier than actual brush lettering. Something happens to the bullet journaler who starts following other bullet journal accounts on Instagram. We start seeing these amazing fonts and want to learn how to do them ourselves. Here’s the problem comes: most of those fonts take a bit of time to learn. You have to practice them a lot to get them down. Especially the super pretty bounce lettering and calligraphy fonts.Read More →

I know we all have a little bit of perfectionism when it comes to our bullet journals. There are small things that annoy us. These things include spelling mistakes, smudges, and pooling from marker ink. But these bullet journal mistakes can be fixed!  As an artist, I’m going to tell you something you don’t really want to hear. Art is rarely perfect. Art in a bullet journal will never be perfect. Perfection in art is an opinion held by the creator of the art. Most of us will see a bullet journal spread and think it looks great. As a bullet journaler with perfectionist tendencies,Read More →

Seeing that it’s the beginning of a new year I found I decided to start it off right with a coffee themed bullet journal spread. I love coffee and can’t start my day without it so I decided to start my year a bit in the same way.

The Amazon Kindle Unlimited plan allows me to read loads of free to read books. Last year, even with a busy schedule I read 17 books using myRead More →

I can’t believe we are about two weeks out till 2020. Last year I didn’t start over in a new journal because I had a lot left in my last one.

Monthly cover pages serve more than just a way to mark the beginning of the month. They set the tone and the theme for the entire month.

In your own monthly pages do not be afraid to get creative. Use doodles, quotes, or even a full on theme.

Fuzzy sweaters, hot drinks, lighting the fireplace, and glitter falling from the sky. These are the things that I absolutely love about winter. So in anticipation for this season I am sharing some bullet journal winter doodles. When doodling you can do one of two things. Either practice all your doodles on one page in your journal or practice in a separate notebook. No matter what practice in pencil and fill out in your marker or colored pencils later. Popular colors for winter doodles are blues, purples, and of course green and red. This of course doesn’t mean you need to stick to these only.Read More →
