My favorite bullet journal pages



Hello,

So, I have already started my bullet journal as you saw in my earlier post. But now I am really getting into it. I am so excited every day I get to fill things out or check things off. It makes me feel so accomplished. Plus I get to look at pretty pictures when I am supposed to be productive #dreams. 

Anyway, I scoured the internet to find the top pages to have in a bullet journal, and I used my favorites... and ones that actually motivated me and pertained to my life. One thing I learned in my search is that your bullet journal doesn't have to be perfect. You can have mess ups, simple titles, etc. It's a journal just FOR YOU! So, don't stress over perfection, but rulers do help.... and dotted notebooks. I don't claim to be anywhere near perfect. Pretty sure I messed up on every single page, but that's also because my life changes from day to day. I can make a plan years in advance, but that doesn't mean I am going to pass up on dinner with a friend because I wrote that we were having chicken and veggies for dinner. No way, I will live my life and make scratches to my schedule. It gives it character. Anyway, on to the first page....

So, first I wrote everything in black. I measured out the squares so the whole month of October would fit. The October on the side was so much fun. I am usually the person who just uses black and white but decided to do something a little bit more colorful this time. I was really happy with my result. 

Next I used all my fall colors to shade and give a cool effect to the letters. This is the finished product. Also, if you are looking for some good markers these Pentel markers are awesome. I mostly love them because they have EVERY single color I could ever want. But they are also a really good size and don't bleed through my paper. But I also have an amazing journal, because I'm weird.... Below are some close ups of the calendar before anything was written in them. 


Then I filled it in with my schedule for the month. It's a great way to keep track of what day it is and where you are expected and what times. My husband is all about the Google Calendar.... but I can't do it. I would much rather have it written in my own handwriting so I can see it and remember it better. I know, I'm weird. 



So, after you create a monthly schedule you can move on to what's most important to you. I decided what I wanted most out of my bullet journal was meal planning and tracking health goals. You can choose totally different things. If you are a student you could have test and paper schedules, practice schedules, grade goals, budgets, the possibilities are endless. But for me in my life- number one concern is food, always. So here are some menus I've made thus far.



Not going to lie, in the short time that I have had this journal I have actually made all of my breakfasts and lunches. I used to not even eat breakfast, then I would be so hungry at lunch that I would choose to go out for lunch. Terrible. For my body and my wallet. So, this has helped me in saving money and getting healthier, I have already lost 3 pounds. Go me! 
  


The next few pages are all about goal tracking. Making sure that I am actually taking steps each day to reach my goals. This month I am really focused on health. I was to workout more, drink more water, get all my steps, and of course eat from home more. These are my attempts at tracking these behaviors. 




Being able to track these behaviors every day and actually think about if I did them or not has made me make healthier decisions. I love this journal. Also, just like I said earlier about how this journal is FOR YOU... these pages aren't super artsy, but they motivate ME. That is all that matters. #gethealthylookHOTTTT #with4Ts

Side note:
I don't know why I am so obsessed with hashtags... they just crack me up, so I hope you enjoy them. 


Alright, the last page I will share on this post is my Quotes Page. I love quotes, I have had a quote board pretty much my entire life. I can quote millions of movies, tv shows, you name it. I love quotes, hence the emphasis on hand lettering. This is my anti stress page...




This gives you an excuse to practice your art, have fun, and discover new fonts and techniques to use in the rest of your bullet journal. These are just a couple of my favorite pages, stay tuned for more in a blog post I will post later.... #laterblog < can that be a thing?

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 92-100)

Okay, So I have a couple extra days in this post, but it's the last post!!!!! 100 DAYS!!!!! I am the coolest! Leading off with #DAY92 with my all time favorite motivational quote! It's seriously amazing, and online it has an extra part, but I didn't think that was appropriate for social media.... For #DAY93 I was sitting around knowing I wanted to do some block letters, but couldn't think of anything to write. Then my hubbers walked in the door and here it is. It was a quick doodle, but he really liked it. So, it's a keeper. Now #DAY94 I made this amazing WHOLE30 approved gumbo with cauliflower rice!!!! It was so amazing, very spicy, but will eat again after the diet..... probably with real rice, but that's okay. PS, don't you just love my parsley garnish??? So artsy. Hahahaha! Recipe here And this is #DAY95. I only have 5 days left.... this is insane. I'm sure all my family and friends are happy it's almost over... Anyway, I p...

Reasons My Online Recipes Look The Way They Do.

So, I read this article the other day by Buzzfeed. I know everything is by them, but hear me out. It was talking about why online recipes are literally the worst. And I saw myself cracking up at every point. Here is the article Right!?!?! It's so true, but the one that hit me the most was when bloggers tell you their entire life stories and then they finally give the recipe at the end. I see myself going on Pinterest and just scrolling to the bottom every time. I read them sometimes, once I've picked a recipe. They are somewhat useful. Sometimes they'll throw in little cooking tricks that if you didn't use on this recipe it would be terrible. Anyway, so I have decided I am just going to post delicious recipes and pictures of delicious food. Maybe a 'I LOVE CHEESE' or something short here and there, but I want my posts to be all about the recipe! How do I make it and what do I need! I am also a huge component for as little ingredients as p...

100 Day Creativity Challenge (Days 85-91)

We are almost done with this 100 Day Challenge. How crazy is that? Who knew I could do anything for 100 Days?!?! #DAY85 I had some trouble with my T.... I couldn't get it perfect.... so I sent out a picture of both sides of Practice.... Quite embarrassing, but that's why we practice. BECAUSE I'M NOT PERFECT! Don't know why I yelled back there, I apologize. Ok, so #DAY86 I was really feeling the WHOLE30 cravings...... So, I chose this cute little quote to get me through. #DAY87, I had more leftover pork. You remember the nachos? Well, I had made a huge shoulder earlier in the week and still had some leftover. So, my husband came up with pork green chili. YUMMM!!! So, I scoured pinterest for a Whole30 compliant version and I found one that came pretty close, but it had white beans. It said I could leave the beans out, but I just couldn't. And I'm glad I didn't! They made the dish. Anyway, I will write up a recipe for it here . #DAY88 I d...
