It always changes as when I get a new notebook that new notebook is my favourite. However my favourite notebook of all time are the WHSmith B5 Neon Notebooks, which I have 2 of, but at the moment I'm also loving my Wilko A5 exercise book because it's slim and easy to write quick notes in.
Well it depends what for... For normal writing I use and prefer to use Tesco Retractable Ball Pens- they're super cheap but make my handwriting look nice and I prefer using retractable pens. For titles (and sometimes colouring) I love to use Sharpies as the colour is amazing and really stand out and finally for colourful writing biros I like to use the Bic Colour grip pens as they write nicely and the colour is amazing.
Ok I have a really bad Sharpie obsession and I need to be stopped from buying them so I do have a crazy number. I think I have over 80 as I have a pack of 12 in all of the main colours in my main pencil case, I have a whole separate pencil case with Sharpies in and there's about 23 in there, I have a pot of 28 and on my desk and another pot with a brand new 23 pack in there so that is a lot but when they're on special offer in WHSmith I just have to have them.
Storing them I keep them in 2 different pencil cases and I have 2 pen pots full of them on my desk. I use them for all different things: writing notes, writing titles and I even use them in my colouring book; I use them for anything and everything basically.
I have way too many and I can't even count them as they're all in different places around my room- I should do a notebook collection as there is so many (lol)
I was watching a YouTuber called PiinkSparkles like over 2 years ago and she was talking about journalling and done the occasional journal videos so I started then. I then forgot about that notebook and started occasionally making different random pages in my binder but I stopped that about a year ago but only recently I was watching a lot of crafty YouTubers and fell in love with journalling and now I've kinda gone all out.
Pros-
-Can take pages out and put your own things in like dashboards
-Make it personal to you with what sections you want.
-Only need to buy the actual planner once and then every year you only need to buy refills
Cons-
-Rings can be annoying
-You don't get that enjoyment of buying a new planner every year
It depends what stationery you want but for general stationery (pens, notebooks etc) I recommend Wilko but for more nicer stationery and more crafty stuff I would recommend Paperchase but you can get nice journalling stuff in Hobbycraft.
As my handwriting depends with what pens I decided to show you what it's like with lots of different pens.
I was bored and thought it would be a good hobby to have as I love stationery and wanted somewhere to stick in nice pictures.
It was before year 9 started and I was juggling my blog and school so I wanted somewhere to organise everything so I got an academic planner really last minute and used that on and off until the start of the year when I moved into a 2016 planner which was pretty much the same but in June I bought a Paperchase planner and I don't think I'll go back to notebook planners.
At the moment it's quite organised because I organised it last night. Here is my desk.
Paper as I never look at digital planners and I like writing everything down as it helps me remind stuff. I also like how you can decorate paper planners and make them your own.
Anything- the sky's the limit. Anything you're interested about journal about whether that's cars, beauty, home decor, trains etc. Or you could journal about your life and kinda make it like a diary (like I kinda do).
That was my stationery Q&A. Hopefully you liked it as I haven't done a Q&A in a while and I definitely want to do more themed ones. Let me know in the comments for some topics or some questions.
