Different ways to fill empty journals: part 1

So, it’s that time of the year when the pages are starting to become fewer and fewer in my bullet journal. When that happens, I run along to my favourite stationery store, wishing, wishing, that I will find a new journal for a decent price. And I did.

I love when $17 journals turn into $5 journals… It’s one of the best deals when you’re a journal enthusiast. The downside of that deal is I also end up buying more journals than I need. It’s in my nature! I can’t help it.

How to find your personal style

The one thing I regret the most about wearing a uniform in high school was that I never had the opportunity to really think about my personal style.

I always look back, thinking if I had been given more freedom, I might’ve been more comfortable and sure of myself. I’m sure you’ve all felt the same way at one point or another. Who am I? What do I like? Who do I want to be?
