Handmade refillable customisable notebooks that are so unbelievably beautiful. My mum got me this one in my favourite colours for Christmas engraved with my initials and every time I look at it it makes me feel warm and fuzzy. I've currently got four whole notebooks in it and a bunch of folded up sketches (it can hold up to six books!). The colour of the leather changes with a patina over time and it's already started to darken beautifully. I love it and I will treasure it for the rest of my life.
The company makes really soothing videos on tiktok where they custom make them to people's specifications and they're so relaxing to watch

disclaimer: I haven’t been to this store bec I didn’t know of its existence when I went to Paris before, but I’ve been following their account for a while now. (Photo from their instagram)
getting a personalized journal from this store is on my bucketlist! I love all the options for the inserts and notebooks. But I especially like how you can customize the leather, emboss a quote or mantra, and choose your own accessories. You can decide what use you want from it, and I feel like it grows with you as you go through life.
If you end up getting one, I’ll truly be jealous (in the best way possible)

I have tried many a notebook, and what drives me crazy is the mish mash of daily lists, journal entries, and random plans/quotes/poem drafts.
The separation gives me a peace of mind. The accesories are, unfortunately, very fun.
Huge tip, use large, bendy paper clips to make this or, frankly, any notebook lay flat.

Top Recs from @caskeyc
🗓
1. Don't set an alarm and wake up naturally. Snooze for however long you want to, it's okay
2. Have breakfast. For me it's toast. Have it with butter/jam/honey and a lot of water and coffee and juice.
3. Listen to an album in full and do some puzzles until it ends. I like to stick a record on and do the nyt games (connections, then wordle, then the mini, then I'm ready for a crossword)
4. Shower and use all your best stuff. Smell great. Make your hair feel soft.
5. Wear an outfit you don't get to wear that often. I tend to wear the same thing over and over at work so I wear something a bit more fun and less practical.
6. Go outside. I live near a road with secondhand shops that are great browsing but quite tempting on a budget. To beat the temptation just look in the windows and then walk round the streets or to a green space if it's a nice day. Walk as fast or as slow as you like. Try and spot cats that might let you stroke them. See how each place you go smells different. Walk down streets that you've not been down before just because.
7. Come home and decide how much energy you have. If you have energy do an activity (I would write, play an instrument, do some art, read, play a game) if you don't then watch something from your watchlist. Saturdays feel like a good day to watch something new.
8. Cook yourself a meal. Start before you're hungry and spend ages on it. Use every pot. Listen to music. Sing whilst you wash the dishes.
9. Play! Video games, board games, internet games, card games, phone games, rearrange your plushies, embrace your inner child. Play with ideas, experiment with felt tip pens, write a limerick. Get silly with it.
10. Talk to your friends. Invite them over, call somebody up, text that person back you didn't have time to. I like to spend a good day off by myself then have a great time talking to people after I've recharged.
11. Have so much fun getting to do whatever you want you fall asleep at whatever time. Monday - Friday is about appeasing your body clock, Saturdays are for filthy pleasures like falling asleep at 3am because you were too busy flirting or reading or watching videos.
