Codeland Hallway Chat - What's your favorite Notebook + Pens?

I've started getting into bullet journaling recently as a combination for creative outlet, tracking habits, and recording favorite moments/memories!

I've tried a few digital todo lists (Read about my Todoist Experience here) but no digital experience can quite match the feeling of writing in a physical notebook for me.

Do you have a favorite notebook/journal? Favorite writing utensil? Always looking for new recommendations to try!

I love journals so I am trying to use notebooks from my collection as bullet journals. The current one I'm using is a moleskine notebook, but in the past I used to use journals I got from the Disney Store. They are lined notebooks so they might not be the best for bullet journals, but I still make them work for me.

For pens, I like using the Pigma Micron 05 fine line pens. I got them from a craft store in a set so I like using the different colors for different headings. In the past, I used old Disney stickers I have saved to decorate journal pages.

I've started adding some sticker decorations in my journals and it's such a fun way to add some "pop" to the pages!

I'm a lefty, so I use fine or extra fine points to minimize the ink that ends up on the side of my hand! Because of this very reason, I avoided gel pens like the plague. I used Pentel R.S.V.P.'s for many years: they're great pens, but once I got ahold of an extra fine point Pilot Precise v5, I haven't looked back!

I'm subscribed here! Never feel like I have a notebook I love. But I feel like they must be out there.

Currently I'm using a dotted journal from the discount shelf at a local craft store and Papermate inkjoy gel pens (0.7mm) since they come in lots of colors!

I’ve always been a fan of keeping a clean notebook and a smooth pen because it makes note-taking feel more organized and uplifting, almost like a little self-care ritual. Just like how a quality notebook keeps your thoughts in order, visiting a trusted beauty clinic Brighton helps you maintain confidence and balance in your appearance. Professionals there focus on treatments tailored to your needs, whether it’s skincare or rejuvenation, ensuring lasting results. Both practices highlight the importance of investing in quality for overall well-being.
