Yop & Tom Dotted Journal Notebook A5 - Moon and Stars - Updated 2021 Design - with Extra Thick Paper (160 GSM) - Bullet Grid Journal - Charcoal

The media could not be loaded.  Pros:- buttery soft book cover- numbered pages- key and index pages- dots are dark enough (but not too dark), with a middle marker- white pages (not cream) that showcase multiple coloured pens and highlighters- ribbon book mark- elastic loop closure- pocket in back cover- pretty colour options and design- no bleed through with calligraphy pens, gelly roll pens, water colour pain pens, or any pen I’ve tried so far.- my favourite: a sturdy grid guide. I’m surprised how often I reach for it. I hate counting dots, and find it marginally easier than measuring with a ruler, very helpful for eyeballing!Cons:- no pen loop (granted I prefer to use multiple colours, but…)- only one ribbon book marker (multiple would be nice)On the fence:Overall I'm very pleased. I am a bit of a perfectionist with my planners, so for me it would have been preferable to have perforated pages. I ended up making errors, using white out tape, and glueing other paper over top…generally making a mess of my book right off the bat. So I ordered a second and am using this one to plan my planner (yes, I realize how insane that is). I’ve also only had this one about a week, so can’t speak to how the cover will hold up. It feels sturdy!

I have journalled for years. I have tried almost every journal out there. But this one is special. The cover almost feels like leather. It's soft and smooth, but slightly flexible. The emblem on the front is bright and crisp. But the pages. Oh my goodness...the creamy, thick, dotted pages. These are THICC!! I took a chance and drew a big old moon on my first monthly spread in this journal. I colored that sucker in hardcore with a waterbased Primrosia brushtip marker, and when I turned the page, the other side was as pure and pristine as when I started. No bleed through, no shadow. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. (shiver with nerdy excitement). I think I will love carrying this for the next four months (which is as long as my journals last.)

I use this bullet journal every day. Journaling has made such a difference to my mindset. This journal is top quality, nice thick pages which means very little (if any!) bleeding. If you have pens that are prone to bleeding there’s a page at the back for testing on anyway which saves messing up your BuJo! The quality of this journal is great, I love the front cover design and the smooth feel of the journal itself. The contents page is a nice feature and the fact the pages are numbered. Once I’ve filled this one I’ll be 100% purchasing another journal from Yop & Tom, I just hope they bring out some more designs!

Je voulais recommencer le journaling et j’ai trouvé ce carnet super joli donc j’ai commandé. Il est arrivé très vite, certes, mais il était à même ma boîte aux lettres, pas emballé, seulement une fine couche de plastique dessus avec l’étiquette. Complètement abîmé voir déchiré sur une bonne partie des pages, la couverture aussi… c’est dommage parce qu’il a l’air de bonne qualité mais en l’état et vu le prix … ça refroidit.

Ein wunderschönes hochwertiges Bullet Journal, dass man gerne verwenden möchte.Vorteile:- Sehr stabile Seiten- Vorgefertigte Musthaves wie Key, Index, Stiftetest- beigelegte Grip Guide Seite,- Seitennummerierung (beginnt nach Index)- innerhalb einer Seite ist die Mitte und die Seitenmitten markiert wodurch es sehr leicht fallen wird eine Einteilung zu erstellen.Mini Kritikpunkte:-1 Lesezeichen (besser wären 2 oder sogar 3)- kein Stiftehalter- nur 1e Froschtasche (auch hier sind 2 praktischer)
