Bullet Journaling and Lifestyle

      This Tuesday is the first day of May and with the change of month comes the change of spread themes. Summer is getting very close and I decided to go with a plant theme that lightly reminds me of the summer to come. If you aren't very artistic, this spread could be helpful because there aren't any freehand doodles.       I started with a basic cover page. I wrote "May" in the lower part of the page and stuck these cute cactus sticky notes around the title. I put them in different directions to give it some edge.       Next, for the monthly overview, I wrote a mini calendar towards the middle of the page and then traced these vines around it to fill in space. At the bottom of the page, I drew a box where I plan on putting goals for the month. On the other side of the spread, I numbered the days of the of the month vertically. I titled it and then traced some cacti on the sides. I spelled overview wrong, silly me. But I went back a fixed it.      Then las

Hello Bullet Journalists, In today's post I wanted to share with you a cool way to fill space in your bullet journal and page to add a little spice to a title page that you are making. My method is really inexpensive and is really easy to do. I hope this post will be helpful to you. Materials: Crayola Markers (any water based markers) Plastic Sandwich Bag Spray Bottle Water Paper Towels Note: I recommend practicing on other sheets of paper rather than start right in your bullet journal. Take your plastic sandwich bag and draw a circle and fill it in with your Crayola markers. You can also make different designs, and use multiple marker colors to give a marble effect.  Next you want to fill up your spray bottle with some water and spray some water over the sandwich bag. *Don´t add to much to where it will ruin the page, but you don´t want to add to little* That is why it´s best to practice first. Now to want to flip the plastic bag over onto the page and it migh

            I have been bullet journaling for over a year now and I have come to prefer certain stationery, so I have compiled a list of my favorite stationary items that I love to use and that I recommend. Leuchtturm 1917 a5 Notebook:                            https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002TSIMW4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The Leuchtturm 1917 a5 notebook is my favorite notebook to bullet journal with. I am obsessed with the notebook and I love the dotted pages. It has a built-in index and it already has page numbers printed on them. I find that most of my pens and markers don't bleed through the pages. I definitely recommend this notebook. Uni-ball Signo Ultra Micro Ballpoint Pen 0.38mm : https://www.amazon.com/Signo-Ultra-38mm-Black-Dozen I have been using this type of pen for years now and I especially love using it in my bullet journal. It comes in black, blue, and red. I found that it writes so smooth and it rarely ever skips. There is n

            Every month, most bullet journalists (including me), create a monthly log to plan events for each month of the year. I just wanted to share how I set up my monthly spread for April. Starting off the spread for April, I create a long skinny column on the left page, that I use to show what day of the month belongs to what day of the week. Next, I create a box towards the top of the page where I write all my goals for the month. In the space below the box, I leave alone to decorate later. On the right page of the spread, I start making a mini calendar. It's just a grid that I make with a ruler. My grid for April is 5x7 but that can change from month to month. I create boxes at the top of each column to label with each day of the week. In my calendar, I associate events and tasks with colored dots. Below the calendar grid, I write what each colored dot represents in my calendar. After I have all of the elements of the monthly log I decorate the page to the th
