hiii pom! sorry if you’ve already answered this before, but i was wondering if you had any journals you recommend? 🩷
i’ve been looking for something like a bullet journal that i can use for both doodles and journaling that isn’t too huge, so i figured i would ask the expert here first! thank you so much in advance have a lovely day!!!
hi hi!! happy saturday!! first of all i would say i'm no expert (more of an overly passionate enthusiast) but thank you, i'm so flattered!! 💖💖💖💖
i think this will depend on your preference, but a5 is usually a good size to look into for bujos (about the size of a paperback book) but something smaller that might also work is an a6, which is what i use for my daily pages! i use an a5 when i know i'll be writing or scribbling a lot so i'd start with an a5. i also prefer a blank journal, but most of these come in ruled, grid, or dot grid if that's more your vibe.
that said, a couple journals i like to use and have used before are:
- midori md (my fave - nice paper quality, lots of options i.e. they have an art version with thicker paper, etc., very versatile)
- stalogy 365days
- maruman mnemosyne (has an elastic band closure, pricey but great paper quality but unfortunately no blank version yet, only dot and ruled)
this jet pens guide also has some great recommendations: https://www.jetpens.com/blog/The-Best-Notebooks-for-Note-Taking-Journaling-Drawing-and-More/pt/647
i would browse around with these also and see what sounds like it's your style!! it'll be a lot of personal preference and trying and sampling to see what you like, but it's fun when you find what works for you <333 good luck!
