I'm stuck on the couch recovering from Health Stuff so I took the time to scan and edit some of my favourite spreads in my 2025 journal!

My lovely girlfriend bought the (horrendously pricey) Hobonichi date-free A5 for my birthday last year and I loved using it as a journal💕💕

The layout was fun to play with: the dividing line to the left created a fun space I could jot down tiny things in, or write sideways in. I put no rules around journalling: I went weeks without picking it up. I enjoyed Tetris-ing many small entries on a page, I only decorated when I felt like it and I didn't care too much about legibility either ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

I love "aesthetic" journaling tho and doing fun layouts!!! Takes the fear of the blank page away, plus it's been a lovely creative outlet for me.

For 2026 I splurged on the A6 Hobonichi Avec simply because it's the best paper I've ever written on and the slim notebooks are so comforting. I'm trying out daily journaling in 2026: I shopped my stash (and okay maybe bought a sticker sheet or two) and created little "monthly kits" to fit the colour scheme of the Avec booklets 👌 so far it's been going great!!

started the year with a quick getaway to a cafe near the mountains!
