    1 Best Space August Bullet Journal Set Up

    This post is sharing with you my August Bullet Journal Set Up, which is a colourful space theme!

    Hello! It’s that time of the month again. Yes, you’ve read the title, I am sharing my bullet journal set up for August today. As mentioned in my previous bujo post I really wanted to stray away from the summer themes so I decided to go with a Space theme! I had been wanting to make a space theme for so long but I always thought that I was not artistic enough. Boy was I wrong because I love how it turned out.

    I got my inspiration for my theme from my 21 August Bullet Journal Cover Ideas post. Definitely check that out if you need some inspiration!

    August Bullet Journal Set Up: Cover

    I am absolutely obsessed with this cover. The colours, the planets, the lettering; I love it all. I used two pictures from my August Bujo Cover ideas post and combined them together, with a few of my own ideas, to create this. This is, hands down, my best cover yet (even better than March’s and April’s!)

    What I Used to Create these Spreads

    I also used this amazing ‘how to draw planets guide’ that I found on Pinterest and it really helped.

    Trackers and Books Read

    I loved how this August bullet journal set up turned out. The Zebra Mildliners have absolutely zero bleed-through and are easy to draw over and colour with. I particularly like the borders on each page, made with the Staedtler fineliner as it gives the spreads a more professional feel.

    Overall I am really obsessed with this space bullet journal theme and i believe it can be used for any sort of journal! You can make it a more minimalist spave bullet journal theme or you can add more stars and planets to make it more aesthetic.

    Thats a wrap! I say this every time, but this is my best monthly theme yet! Having wanting to do a space theme for quite a while, I am so happy at how this has turned out. I’d love to see your August Bullet Journal Set Up, so please link it below!

  • Bunting and Party Theme | July Bullet Journal Set Up

    This post is sharing with you my July Bullet Journal Set Up which is a bunting and party theme.

    A party theme was chosen, inspired by my July Bullet Journal Cover Ideas post as I wanted something simple. July is also a month comprising of a lot of birthdays therefore, a bunting theme was perfect.

    What I Used to Create these Spreads

    If you would like to know more about what I use to journal with, definitely check out my last post: ‘Must Have Bullet Journal Supplies You Need To Know About’, especially if you are new to bullet journalling.

    Bunting and Party Theme – July Bullet Journal Set Up

    Usually if I was making a party theme I would go for brighter colours however, this month I really felt like going for some pastel shades. The pens that were used were the zebra mildliners in ‘mild violet,’ ‘mild green’ and ‘mild blue green.’ I think the colours really compliment eachother and still gives off a fun vibe. The ‘mild grey’ mildliner is used for the titles.

    As usual, I used Staedtler Triplus Fineliners for the fine black and grey writing. Tombow’s black dual brush pen was used for the July title.

    I decided to go for big habit trackers this month to make myself more accountable for blogging, reading and posting on Instagram. The ‘books read’ section follows the trackers, continuing on the bunting theme.

    That concludes July’s Bullet Journal Set Up. I hope you enjoyed looking at the little mess I created. If you want to see some of my perhaps prettier messes, my April Harry Potter theme, March Greenery and February Cotton Candy Cloud themes are my favourite!

  • HARRY POTTER BULLET JOURNAL THEME | APRIL SET UP

    This post is showing you a great Harry Potter bullet journal theme, with great spread ideas!

    My latest post gave you a list of ideas for April themes for your bullet journal. I decided for April that I am going for a Harry Potter bullet journal theme as I am participating in the O.W.Ls readathon on booktube! This was so therapeutic for me to sit and create these spreads. I sat down on Netflix party with my friends and unleashed. They were so simple and easy to create and I hope you enjoy them.

    What I used:

    Harry Potter Quote and Title Page

    I love this quote from the sorting hat. It’s a lovely reminder that we have mental blocks in our head, we just have to try and push through them to feel more positive and achieve our greatness! I also had to go with a lightning blot for the title page. The title page does look a little bare but I have no idea what to add to zush it up. If you have any ideas please let me know.

    This page is so colourful and I love it! I am a huge fan of the yellow accent, using my amazing mildliners to add much needed pops of colour. This month, unlike previous months (here), I have decided to track my reading stats as I am participating in the readathon! As I am a huge fan of tracking things so my reading stats will be cool to look back on.

    Harry Potter Magical Readathon TBR

    I am so excited to read the books on my TBR for the magical readathon, especially Harry Potter and Clockwork Angel (which will both be rereads.) I fell in love with my tombow dual brush pen whilst making the owl title and can’t wait to get more.

    I immensely enjoyed creating these spreads. They were super simple to make so that means anyone can create them. I love the simplicity and pops of colour in my Harry Potter Bullet Journal theme. I’ve got to say this may be my favourite month to date (surpassing my cotton candy and leaf theme!)

    I would love to see your April set ups so please link them below.

  • March Bullet Journal Set Up: Floral Bullet Journal Ideas

    This post is letting you in on my March bullet journal spreads!

    Welcome to my March Bullet Journal Set Up. I am so excited to be sharing my set up with you today as it took me forever to complete. I opted for a leaf theme this month as March symbolises the start of spring. Thankfully, Amanda Rach Lee posted her March set up as soon as I sat down to do mine. I did end up taking a little inspiration from her, which you will see below, in the leaves and quote but the rest of it came from me.

    MARCH BULLET JOURNAL SET UP

    Just like my January and February set ups, I went incredibly simple and opted for a 2/3 colour palette. For all of these spreads I used my Hethrone dual brush pens and my Staedtler Triplus Fineliners.

    bullet journal trackers tracking exercise with tropical leaves

    I am really digging my tracker spread as I love being able to visually track things and colour things in when i have achieved them. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment when I colour something in (especially with my exercise tracker) it motivates me even more.

    With my TBR and Books Read spread I again used a few stickers from AliExpress and added a cute quote from Sigmund Freud using my Triplus Fineliners.

  • FEBRUARY BULLET JOURNAL SET UP 2020

    After January lasted about 17 years, we are finally onto the month of February. For my February bullet journal set up I decided to keep to the sky theme, like I did in January. As I did not want to go for the traditional hearts for Valentines day theme, yet still wanted that pop of pink and purple, I thought cotton candy skies would be perfect.

    Solely using the Hethrone dual brush tip pens and my Uniball white gel pen, I created this months spreads. The pops of colour and the greys paired together is gorgeous. Also, there is zero bleed-through with these pens and they are so easy to work with.

    For this month, I decided to re-do my whole monthly dashboard. I was not utilising a grid calendar as I already have one in my life planner. Instead I have the calendar down the side so I can just place blog dates and important reminders there.

    Another change for this month includes my ‘Book of the Month’ spread. This is such a cool thing to look back on and will help me make my top 20 books of 2020. No changes were made to my gym tracker apart from switching up the theme. Here’s hoping i fill out all of the clouds!

    That’s that. I hope my February bullet journal set up has given you some inspiration for your February spreads as I know some people haven’t even started theirs yet. At the beginning this was a bit too neon for my liking (I really wanted some pastels) but I’m really liking it now. Therefore, if you do recreate any of these spreads, please let me know.

    What does your bullet journal for February look like? I would love to see some pictures/ your posts.

  • Bullet Journal Set Up 2020 | Spread Ideas

    It’s the start of the year and what does everyone attempt to do in January? Get their life together. A bullet journal is a great, creative and mindful way to get and stay organised. This post is going to give you full access into my journal by showing you my bullet journal set up for 2020. This is my fourth bullet journal since starting in 2016 and I must say this is possibly my favourite yet. If you are looking for some bullet journal spread ideas or if you just want a peak inside of my journal, keep scrolling!

    What I Used:

    Before we begin, I know I am going to receive a few questions on what I have used to create these spreads, so I’ll share them with you now. Hethrone dual brush pens, were used in every spread and are both phenomenal and affordable; I highly recommend them! I also used one other white gel pen from Uniball, which also amazing and cheap. This is a huge contrast to my 2018 and 2019 set ups where I must have used about 20 different utensils.

    • Hethrone Dual Brush Pens – Here
    • Scribbles that Matter Bujo – Here
    • Uniball Sigmo Um-153 (the best white pen) – Here

    Still unsure on how to start a bullet journal? No fret, in this post I strip thing back to basics and provide spread examples and tips on how to start a bullet journal here.

    The 2020 Bullet Journal…

    That concludes my very minimal bullet journal set up. Previously being a student and living alone meant I had more things to track such as, deadlines, exams, meals and bills. As a result past bullet journal set ups were DENSE. I also used to track movies I’ve watched and my weight which I’ve missed out on this set up whilst watching Netflix. In other words, Henry Cavill in The Witcher was clearly a distraction. Alas, if you want to check out previous movies watched, weight loss and student spreads, click here!

    I hope you enjoyed my mini bullet journal set up for 2020. I will be posting my January Bullet Journal Set Up next week, so stay tuned for that!
