    Are Muji Pens Overrated? A Gel Pen Comparison

    I haven’t properly been in the blogosphere for a while. One of the interesting things which happened during my time away was how the stationery/ studyblr community collectively moved away from the Muji gel pens as a ‘must-have’ stationery item. The funny thing is that my personal opinion on the Muji pens hasn’t changed all that much. So today I want to do a gel pen comparison with a few other brands to see just how good the Muji gel pens are.  Are Muji Pens Overrated? A Gel Pen Comparison The Problem With Muji Gel Pens I’ve mentioned the Muji pens a few times in the past and I’ve always…

    How To Bullet Journal On A Budget

    I wouldn’t consider bullet journaling to be expensive, but I need to acknowledge that I already had most of the stationery supplies that I use and paying £15 every 6 to 12 months for a new notebook is not a huge expense to me. But I know that some people won’t feel the same way. So today I want to share some ways that you can bullet journal on a budget. I know that personal circumstances will change how much money you have to spend on bullet journaling. I also know that stationery supplies can vary in price depending on where you live. For this post, I’ve tried to give…

    A Back-To-School Muji Haul

    I was down in London a few months ago. And while there I decided to pop into Muji to do a little back-to-school shopping. Now I am doing an art course at university so I have no idea what my classes will be. But I thought I would buy a few things anyway. So here is a little Muji haul. A BACK-TO-SCHOOL MUJI HAUL I started off by picking up a few notebooks. The lined A5 notebooks are great. But I also got an A5 dot-grid notebook because I thought it would be useful as a bullet journal. I didn’t want to buy too many notebooks as I don’t think…

    My Sketchbook, Journal and Notebook Collection

    Today I thought I would share some of my notebooks. These are the current ones I use on a regular basis. I own quite a number more than this but it’s actually quite embarrassing how many notebooks I own and have never used. You’ll notice a few which aren’t technically notebooks, but I thought I would include them anyway. Handbook Journal Co Sketchbook I use an A5 sketchbook from Handbook Journal Co as a place to keep all of my messy ideas. This is where I do some of my urban sketching and work on some of the more visual parts of personal projects. I really love the paper in…
