    5 Of My Favourite Stationery Subscription Boxes

    One of the things I love doing every so often try some new stationery subscription boxes. This is not a regular occurrence but its enjoyable to get some new stationery items through the post. One of the reasons why I love stationery subscriptions is that I will find new items I would never normally come across.  A few years ago I got a canvas pencil case in a Stationery Selection box. It became my everyday pencil case as I downgraded from the makeup bag behemoth that I was carrying around. This pencil case was not something I would go looking for, but it has become one of the few organisational…

    Zebra Mildliner Review | The Best Highlighters

    One of my favourite things about high school was buying stationery supplies at the start of the year. I was terrible at revising in high school but I loved getting the opportunity to use highlighters. High school was a long time ago and along the way, I grew to hate those fluorescent yellow highlighters. However, all that changed a few years ago when I discovered the Zebra Mildliner.  As you may be able to tell from the name. These are highlighters but not as we know it. I first came across the Zebra Mildliner right around the time I was getting into bullet journaling. Along the way, they have become…

    Previously I’ve written about how you don’t need a special notebook for bullet journaling. In one example I’ve shown how it is possible to bullet journal in a lined notebook. Recently I’ve noticed that university has changed the way I use sketchbooks to document my thought process. So this made me wonder something. Is it possible to use a sketchbook as a bullet journal? I’ve been bullet journaling for 5 years, at the beginning I only used my bullet journal to organise my time. As my bullet journal method has evolved I’ve also changed what I keep in my bullet journal. In the past, I would keep my lecture notes…

    Is Skillshare Premium Worth The Price?

    I’ve been using Skillshare for a good 4 years now. Skillshare is a learning platform where you can find tutorials on a huge number of subjects. I’ve found some really useful tutorials which have helped me with coursework at college and university. Some classes on Skillshare are free but you have to pay to access most of the content on the site. Last year I signed up to a 12-month Skillshare Premium plan. I got a great deal, only paying half of the full price. Looking back over the last year Skillshare has been a really useful resource. I’ve used it to help me with university and personal work. So…

    How To Start A Minimal Bullet Journal

    Today I want to share my process for setting up a minimal bullet journal. I use small, minimal bullet journals when I have lots of work to be doing. The small size means I don’t feel pressured to make my bullet journal look nice. It’s purely functional and when I have a lot going on it really helps me organise my time. YOU WILL NEED I like using a small A6 notebook for my minimal bullet journals. There are lots of notebook brands you can choose from but I can’t see past the Leuchtturm 1917. I own 3 or 4 notebooks at A6 size now and I love them. The…
