A regular moveable feast, each pad has approx. (60) pages of ruled white paper. In green or pink covers, and we’ll channel Ernest to pick the bravest, truest color for you.

Not sure how you’re supposed to get any journaling done with something so snazzy, but this 6” x 8” sequined notebook is probably better for your psyche than any diary entry, anyway.

Has about (80) lined pages with space at the top right for dates, so it’s perfect as a diary. Or for noting the catch of the day.
