Testing out my new pens. I still have lots of work to do with my spacing. Sidenote: I was so sad to get halfway down the page and make a mistake 😩. Lots of room for improvement. Thanks to @DecadeThirty for the Pen Swatch idea - it is brilliant! - J. #SpectaclesNSass #rockyourhandwriting #typography #handlettering #handlettered #handwriting #handtype #lettering #inkspiration #penmanship #Recollections #PilotG2 #Staedtler #TriplusFineliner #PilotErasables #Frixion #AppointedCo

There are few things I love more than a clipboard to manage menus. Penn Commons, in Chinatown DC, uses one for food and one for drinks. Love love love. AND they have happy hour from 4 to 11 seven days a week. Cheers! - J. #SpectaclesNSass #cocktails #happyhour #cityliving #dc #penncommons #margarita

I am addicted to new journals. When I spotted the DC flag journal from @AppointedCo, I knew it had to be mine. It is simply lined. I also purchased a grid journal embossed with my initials. The bad: the pages are one sided, so it is awkward to do a big spread across 2 pages. In the lined journal, the lines are a little wide. And in the grid journal, the grids are a little small. The good: the covers, binding, and paper quality are top notch. They really are beautiful journals. These won't be useful for a hard core bullet journal, but would be a great choice for traditional journaling or notetaking. - J. #SpectaclesNSass #BulletJournal #BulletJournalCommunity #BuJoJunkies #AppointedCo #Micron #LePen #Journals #Journaling

I went to Target with one thing on my purchase list. But I am weak and happened by a pen display and lost my mind. I typically stick with my standard LePen and Microns, but here we are. Pilot x Frixion released erasables. I found a purple G2 metallic. AND Staedtler has a fall/winter palette. My fingers can't wait for the fun. Test pics coming soon. - J. #typography #handlettering #handlettered #handwriting #handtype #quotes #lettering #inkspiration #quotes #penmanship #PilotG2 #PilotPens #Frixion #Staedtler #SpectaclesNSass

I noticed a student was struggling with organizing her notebook...so I showed her my bujo. Though her bujo looks a lot like mine, she added an affirmation column and extra note pages. I'm happy I could share the strategy with her and happier that she's made it her own. - J. #SpectaclesNSass #BlackGirlsBuJo #BulletJournal #BuJoInspirations #BulletJournalCommunity #BuJoJunkies #BuJoLife #BuJoPlanning #BuJoLove #BuJoInspire #ShareYourBuJo #PlanWithMe #BulletJournalLove #BulletJournalCollection #Planning #Organization #PlannerCommunity #ShareYourBulletJournal #studentlife #moleskine #cahier

"All hail Caeser!" We, lovers of literature, couldn't let the day pass without celebrating Shakespeare and Caeser. Beware the Ides of March! . . . . . #SpectaclesNSass #IdesofMarch #Shakespeare #Quotes #JuliusCaesar #Theatre #Literature #bookstagram

So I purchased an inexpensive notebook off of Amazon, The Dot Grid Book. It looks like a elementary school workbook on the outside, with its shiny paper cover, but it's filled with dot grid pages. The paper is a little course for my taste but it's a great practice/experimental notebook to practice bullet journaling. Here's a peek at my future log. I also used my new Tombow marker and Pentel Hybrid Technica for the spread. The dots are interesting and they require use of a ruler for sure... but I do enjoy how relaxed I am when it comes to writing. I don't feel the pressure to try and write perfectly. If this goes well, I may invest in a higher quality dot grid notebook. -C #SpectaclesNSass #BlackGirlsBuJo #BulletJournal #BuJoInspirations #BulletJournalCommunity #BuJoJunkies #BuJoLife #BuJoPlanning #BuJoLove #BuJoInspire #ShareYourBuJo #PlanWithMe #BulletJournalLove #BulletJournalCollection #Planning #Organization #DulyNoted #DulyNoted17 #PlannerCommunity #ShareYourBulletJournal #BulletJournalFutureLog

Here's a throwback to when I was in Cali! My friend and did the "street Hike" and ubered through the Hollywood Hills and then walked up a hill or two (read: street) to get to a good viewing point of the sign! Then we had to walk all the way down to the base of the "hills" to get service and call an Uber to get back to our hotel... but it was so worth it! Look at this shot! -C #SpectaclesNSass #Travel #TravelPhotography #Hollywood #Signs #california #CaliforniaAdventure #Trips
