🌿 SHOW NOTES
Any notebook can be used as a bullet journal, but these are a few of the most popular: Leuchtturm1917 80 and 120 gsm, Midori MD, Moleskine Expanded, and Stalogy 365. Today I'm reviewing my experiences with each of these -- especially how they handle gel pens, brush pens, and watercolor.
