Bullet Journal




I have been debating back and forth with myself whether or not I wanted to start my own Bullet Journal. After much debate I have decided YESS! I hit up the Dollarama a while back and picked up some things to get me started. I eventually want to buy Calligraphy pens but I wanted to try it out first and see if I stick to it before going straight for the expensive stuff.

Some of the stuff I picked up are:

  • A thick paged sketchpad notebook
  • Pens
  • Black fine tip ink pens
  • Double sided markers (thick + thin)
  • Pencils
  • Gem stickers
  • Pencil case
  • Metallic tape (for design purposes)

The best thing I found about bullet journaling is that there isn't a set structure when normally there is. I struggled with this at first with bullet journaling as I found myself wanting to add dividers and section off things but no matter what I did with the structure it wasn't practical. You don't have to be a professional either! I was intimidated by some of the bullet journal posts on Pinterest because of their incredible skill and artistry. Mine are so basic and that's okay too! I am enjoying it more and more each day! Maybe my skill level will pick up with time.

You can literally write about anything. Thoughts, goals, plans, calendars, organization, relaxation methods; the topics are endless! It is a great way to destress too especially if you enjoy writing or drawing.

Like I mentioned earlier if you want to take up Bullet Journaling there is no need to go for the expensive stuff right away, although I know it can be super tempting. There are so many gorgeous planners, stickers, add-ons, and so much more out there that it is hard to resist. Believe me you don't need to go all out. I resisted and my cute Dollarama sketchpad is getting more and more glammed up by the minute ;)
I wouldn't underestimate the Dollarama either, the stuff you buy there adds up quickly! Well.. that is if you have no self-control in there like me.

Take a look at a few pages that I did. If there are other creatives out there taking part in the bullet journal experience I would love to see some of your work or just comment suggestions for other things to write about!





Post you next week! :)

International Women's Day 2019

Happy International Women's Day to all the strong, hard working women all over the world fighting to be heard. Think about women everywhere today; the ones who fight every day for basic rights, the ones who die just for a chance to be heard, about the everyday woman struggling to balance work and family and often neglecting her own self-care. Think about your mother. The strong woman who has raised you, put food in your belly, and smiled through her own hurt and pain so you never have to see that inside she is crying. Women of all shapes, colours, sizes, eras are just so amazing. Today's blog post is dedicated to a very special little girl in my life and that is my daughter Malak. I know in my heart that she will grow up to be a strong, confident, and intelligent woman who will make her whole family proud. I'm watching you right now playing on your iPad and sucking on that lollipop (note to self: get Malak to brush her teeth later) and I can see all the wonderful potentia...

The Shatha Show

I am helping my sister Shatha with her new YouTube channel called The Shatha Show. The videos star Shatha opening surprises, reviewing products, or just having fun in her day. We would appreciate thumbs up on the videos and some subscriptions. The Shatha Show They are kid-friendly videos appropriate for all ages. Shatha and my daughter Malak both are guilty for watching kids open surprises on YouTube so we thought it would be fun for Shatha to do her own videos. We are open to suggestions and would love to see some interactions on Shatha's channel. Stay tuned for more videos! Our goal is for once a week but we will see how that works out for us :) Thanks all!

Trip to Sweden: Landskrona and Höganäs

It has been a while fellow bloggers since I just got back from my month long trip to Sweden! I shall be writing all about it in the next few blog post entries. My husband has three brothers who all live in Sweden and we were far overdue for a vacation anyways. Mind you this is the first time traveling with my husband in a plane and first time with kids of my own. I will be writing a post of traveling with kids on its own. Our flight was a direct flight from the Toronto airport to Copenhagen, Denmark. We were told it is faster to take a train from the airport in Copenhagen to Malmo then taking a plane to Stockholm, Sweden which would be at least a 6 hour drive from where my husband's brothers live! We arrived at around 10:20am. Upon our arrival to the airport we picked up our bags, bought a ticket for the train, and jumped on the train. Booking and board the train took the most time for us. The train took less than 15 minutes from where we were to get us to our first stop which wa...
