It’s week 2 of my bullet journalling experience (experiment seems a bit strong no matter how far I feel I’m being pushed from my comfort zone). I haven’t developed amazing art skills but it’s been interesting! Weekly spread My weekly spread...

I’ve been through every kind of diary available, in my time. From homework planners at school to academic diaries at university. Loose Filofax pages and little handbag-sized hardback diaries, I’ve had them all. Of course, I love every single one – and choosing...
