8/31/2023 0 Comments Baron fig do work journalI’ve grown to love morning pages and this daily journal for different reasons, but I think if I had started with this journal instead, I might have drunk the journaling koolaid a lot sooner! I found one pen I love journaling with and kept using that one in this book, so apologies I don’t have more pen tests here, though I do know they are fountain pen friendly.Īs I wrote in the journal entry in the photo, I used to really hate journaling before I started morning pages (whose 3 pages often felt really challenging at the beginning). The paper might be hit or miss for you for that reason, though I do really enjoy it, and much more than I expected given that I usually go for a smoother texture. The pens move comfortably across the paper, not a glide exactly, but definitely allow the thoughts to keep flowing. The paper is slightly toothy: not nearly as smooth as the Maruman Mnemnosyne notebooks, but nothing that would make your fine-tip gel pen scratchy. ![]() The lines and text are printed in a medium gray, which makes your writing stand out beautifully against the cream colored paper. The metadata sections includes date, time, location, mood, and weather. ![]() Each page is like a dashboard, with icons you can circle or highlight to show which prompt you chose, a title area, and metadata at the bottom. I’m a stickler for details and good design, and I knew before even putting pen to paper in this journal that the thoughtfulness of this product is out of this world. They make it super easy for you – eight prompts (with more explanation, quotes, and specific ideas to respond to in the back), metadata, space to write, and that’s it! There’s also some research listed in the back about the benefits of daily/regular journaling. ![]() The idea is to create a journaling practice through this book, by writing just one page a day. Inside, the book is divided into three sections: a Quick Start Guide, the bulk of the journal pages, and an in-depth How to Use section at the end with tons of advice and ideas on how to start a daily journal practice. The clothbound cover is very similar to Archer & Olive notebooks. I love picking up this journal in the morning to write in it because it’s just so lovely to look at and hold. The embossed icons are subtle and classy. This sturdy linen-style fabric cover is a signature of Baron Fig’s notebook line, and I love the grey color with the yellow accent. Let’s walk through it together!įirst, the cover. I’ve tested it out for about a month now so I can definitely give a pretty honest take on using this journal. I bought both the Clear Habit Journal and the Grow Daily Journal, the subject of this review. I snuck out of work early to catch the tail end of their first day at the pop-up and, of course, picked up a few products to try. So I was thrilled to see an email announcing their first in-person pop-up store in New York City in late April! Sometimes it’s really tough to justify living here (so expensive, no space, so many people, the smells) but when things like this happen, New York is pure magic. ![]() Silly, I know, especially as their quality seems to be top-notch, their witty illustrations are adorable, and the way they write about their products on the website are full of passion and definitely speak my language (“tools for thinkers”! they use customer feedback to iterate products!). After learning about their products from Jenny’s blog, The Finer Point (one of my favorite stationery writers!), I was really intrigued and wanted to try out their products, but the price point was just high enough that I never could bring myself to place an order. I’ve had my eye on Baron Fig for a long time.
