Things I Loved and Used In January
Leather journals that haven't left my side, a film about Jake Gyllenhaal's evil doppleganger and wearing scarves in lieu of hats
Hello and welcome,
Happy last day of January! We got through this horrid month, somehow.
This will be a monthly series where I do a little round up of my favorite things from the month. I really enjoyed doing a version of this as a gift guide back in December and it seems like a lot of you did too! So why not make this a monthly rendezvous where we meet at the end of the month where I go over all of the things I loved and used? Some of these are newly acquired, others are not. That’s the beauty of discovery — it can come from the old as much as the new!
Let’s get into it…
Paper & stationary
I am officially a leather journal girlie!!!!! Let me introduce you to my newest child:
Louise Carmen Roadbook. So…I initially thought I would have to wait to buy this closer to my 30th birthday, but my dear husband got me a gift card for Christmas so now I’m the proud owner of and LC Roadbook. I went with the deep plum color and a playful pink cord, plus one of their charms that reminds me of a Georgia O’Keefe painting. Aside from the heavenly leather smell, I’ve absolutely loved using this portfolio as a haven for all things writing. It currently houses: my commonplace notebook for archiving quotes and media, an everyday-ish diary, my newsletter idea notebook and a free-writing notebook for longer entries and future book ideation. On the front, I added an engraving that reads “still life” because I want to live a still life that is STILL full of LIFE!
