Some of My Favorite Things

I am a pen to paper kind of gal. I love writing things down and I love drawing, painting, making my planner look pretty while still being useful, and also I like journaling, and scrapbooking. I love office supplies, to say the least. So, I wanted to share some of my favorite supplies with you.

I will do my best to link where I bought them, some I might not be able to so bear with me. Also, if you have any questions, please feel free to leave me a comment and I would be happy to share any information I have.

       1.     My favorite pen to write with is the Pentel Energel Needle Tip 0.7 or 0.5 in black. This is the main one I write with, especially in my planner. The ink is smooth and flows fairly well most of the time. Plus, of course, no bleeding in my planner or notebooks, which for me is really important.

       2.     The pens I like to draw with are the Staedtler Pigment Liners in 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, and 0.8 mm all in black. I love these more than any others I have used which include the Faber Castell Pitt pens. I just feel like they give me cleaner lines and a smoother line too. I love them for small and large drawings alike.

      3.     Plum Paper Planners and Notebooks. I live by these, the paper is smooth and thick - there is barely any shadowing and I haven't had any pens bleed through it yet. They have so many options with their planners and notebooks. I like the grid paper style for my notebooks and the lined vertical option for my planner. I started out using one of their notebooks as a bullet journal for about a year and also separately a blog planner too. Then in July last year, I made the plunge and I am so glad I did - I love my regular planner so much. I still have a bullet journal in my Traveler's Notebook that I use as a wallet - I use a Leuchtturm 1917 (I love it too, I use it on the go to keep track of plans).

       4.     Highlighters: Zebra Mildliners. I love how pastel and beautiful the colors are, plus they don't bleed and I haven't had any run dry after a year of using them. They have a "bold" tip on one side that looks like any other highlighter. They also have a "fine" tip which looks closer to the tip of a fine time marker. I use them of course to highlight important things, the grey to give shadow to a drawing or words, and sometimes just to add a little bit of decorativeness to my bujo or sometimes I writing or drawing.

       5.     Post-it Notes are important to the game too. I use all different sizes and colors, but they are always plain - I'm not a fan of decorative ones for helping to keep me organized. I have small ones, page flag style, full sticky back ones, regular ones, blue, pink, yellow, neon colors, and so on. I use them to take small notes, to put on my second monitor to remember things, to mark an event that may or may not happen later on so that I don't have to make it permanent in my planner until I know for sure if I will be doing it. Post-it notes are                                                                        important to my planner game.
