New Notebooks

Hello!

During this lockdown of ours, I have been finding a little hard to write. The world is all uneasy so I have been feeling very uneasy. To help spark my motivation I decided to feed my ever-growing addiction: notebooks. I do have quite a few already but they're all back in Brighton and just need something new and to have with me whilst I am home. I have been having a neb at Go Stationery for a while now and I decided to use my 15% off code to treat myself (if you want to treat yourself too GOGLAM230) and I found some stunning notebooks. I ordered three in total, two for me and one stunning Peacock notebook for my sister. In my delivery I also received a stunning planner, I don't really make much use of planner's so I gifted it to my sister for her business.

The Nikki Strange collection is my favourite, I bought from the element collection as well as astrology. I do plan on buying the rest of the element collection in the future, I just wanted to test it out and the quality of these notebooks are stunning.  As you can see to the right. The element of fire notebook is so bright, I figure the start of the collection had to be my own sign. I will be buying the rest because I am obsessed!

I plan on using the fire element notebook for thoughts, I am often swamped with feelings and thoughts. I get quite anxious at times, especially at times like these, and writing in the past has helped me so much. I really want to get back to writing every day, get everything out of my head and heart. It used to help me feel so relaxed especially on days where I feel super overwhelmed.

Buying notebooks is my attempt to trying and get my writing flow back, I just want to create and be imaginative but I’ve been everything but. I can’t wait to finish my degree too, then I’m free to write for myself again. Maybe 2020 will be the Summer of writing. 

The little moon and stars book I’ll keep for a rainy day, a spark will come and I know what to write inside. Maybe use it for a new book idea or a new poetry book!  

Have you been making any creative purchases lately?

Little Things

I like the little things. The small parts of everyday life that make me smile to myself. Like the way my dad wakes me up every morning and makes me a cup of tea before he sets off to work. I laugh at the little things like listening to the radio presenters tell jokes and anecdotes. When I'm on the bus and I'm looking out the window the bus number I'm on passes in the opposite direction, I appreciate the aknowledgment both drivers give one another. When it's sunny I like when I'm talking to someone and the sun makes their eyes stand out. I get giddy over the patterns Costa make in my drinks, last week palm trees  and this week coco beans. My mood elevates when I'm shopping and a song I really like plays, it makes shopping just that little bit more delightful. Whenever I get off the bus in the morning and pass The Dog and Parrot I always grin at the Lemon underneath the window. When I'm with my friends and we are taking silly selfies I feel on top of the world. One of my favourite little things is shadows, shadows of things amongst the pavement, trees buildings and other things.
