Hi everyone! Does anyone else get the urge to buy stuff that they save to use for a specific reason later on (that reason is not apparent yet ๐), and until that later on you stare at it all lovingly? ๐ That’s me with notebooks ๐. The pages are blank at the moment but I get butterflies in my stomach when I imagine what I could fill them up with ( yeah I should probably get that checked out ๐). Only 3 of these total selected favourite notebooks of mine are being written in. I’ve only just recently been able to stick to writing one subject in a notebook before my mind wanders ๐ so it’s nice to associate different notebooks with different things, way more organized and less messy! ๐ On with the post! These are my favourites out of my notebook collection!
1. “Love, Laugh, Live” lined journal
I bought this journal from tkmaxx. Don’t you just love notebooks with quotes?! Tkmaxx is for sure full of them ๐ I always get sidetracked in the books/stationary aisle not wanting to miss out on anything like this as it’s highly likely I would never see it again. Witness the glares in the aisle as we all switch on our predatory stealth shopping modes..It’s not pretty!๐.
2. Serious Notebook (so people think you know what you’re doing) lined notebook
Okay I’m just going to come out and say it…This notebook makes me look smart..Oh sorry did I say smart? I meant to say like a smart aleck ๐ and I’m loving it! The pages appear to be blue on the outside but are white and boldly lined inside. Like many of the notebooks I haven’t written in yet, I don’t want to think I’ve ruined it by writing in it because it is so unique.
3. Orange leather journal. Not lined unfortunately for me๐
I actually write in this one! ๐ This is my poetry notebook that I write anything in I feel I can’t let go in a reasonable form that I like to think resembles poetry ๐ I also got it in tkmaxx! It is a flimsy type of leather and is not lined. I trace lines on so my writing isn’t too wonky and I haven’t got frustrated with it yet! ๐
4. A5 flower canvas notebook
This is one of my favourites that was a present from my tutor from when I was in secondary school (she is an incredibly kind and lovely person!๐). This is a scetch pad that I hope to use for little doodles soon (emphasise the “hope” because again I don’t want to ruin it ๐).
5. Mini “bucket list” notebook. Lined
Guess what I write in this? MY BUCKET LIST!๐… oh…I’m sorry did I just shout? ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐. I write my bucket list with staedtler pens, all the colours of the rainbow! I write it in a way that no same colours are touching and am oddly happy with how each page looks ๐. It’s a tiny little pocket book and I keep it stashed away in my bedside cabinet so that I can add to it after crazy dreams that seem mildly plausable ๐
6. “Coke is it!” Mini notepad
This little notepad is too cute! When I hold it I feel like I work in a 50’s style diner taking orders ๐ in the invisible battle between coke and Pepsi I do like coke more ๐ although they kinda taste the same. I’ll have whatever comes in the meal deal really ๐.
7. “Blah, Blah, Blah” Journal. Lined
Isn’t this quirky? I bought this in tkmaxx while on holiday over in England last summer (*take a breath*๐ I need to add more commas before I pass out!). Even on holiday I can’t escape the call of tkmaxx to buy more notebooks ๐ I bought it for college but now I don’t want to fill it with notes ๐
8. Small “Art.Blanc” hardback notebook. Lined
This was another prezzie from my tutor. It looks like a historical relic, it is so beautiful.It took me a while to realize the patterns on it are flowers ๐
9. “Around the World” Daily Planner
Okay so this isn’t really a notebook as such but the majority of the pages in it are blank. Others have motivational quotes and doodles. It is such a dinky little notebook that I lost it last summer when I was planning on taking it with me on holiday ๐ at least it isn’t dated! I can use it next summer ๐!
10. Beano “Menace revolution” Dennis the menace notebook. Lined
I am obsessed with beano! I have a large beano trunk in my room filled with old and new magazines and annuals so I could not leave it behind in (you’ve guessed it ๐) tkmaxx!
11. Pack of 3 notebooks. Not lined which I didn’t know and am very angry about ๐
These notebooks (can I call them that if their not lined?) Came in a pack so I couldn’t open them to check if they were lined..They are not. I realize now this is why they were only โฌ6.. Tkmaxx lied to me but I still love them ๐๐
12. “Busy, Busy, Busy” mini notebook. Lined
This notebook is the same small size as the bucket list one and is so beautiful! When I get old i and am living in a little Hobbit hole somewhere in the middle of nowhere I want to look after bee’s ๐ซ there I said it! (That’s my craziest bucket list goal, if you can even call it a goal? ๐ Dream maybe?).
13.Elephant logo mini plain journal. Not lined.
This little journal might as well stay empty because to me it’s like a little piece of art that I don’t want to vandalize ๐.
14. “Never stop dreaming” notebook. Lined
This is my blogging notebook! In it I write down idea’s and whole posts before I type them out. It was another prezzie from my tutor who knows how much I love to write ๐ this book just seemed like the perfect fit for me when I wanted to write down blog stuff and I take it nearly everywhere with me! ๐
Thank you for reading! ๐๐ What notebook do you like the most in this post?/what would you write in it?
Cool collection..always been crazy about notebooks too. I have only 3 right now. All 3 r used …in the work ๐๐

That’s the kind of thing I strive to do with my notebooks, a different one for different things. I fail miserably ๐
