Summary

This week we brought on our friend (and past podcast guest) Amber Burns to talk all about journaling. We ask Amber about how she got into journaling, why bullet journaling doesn’t have to be fussy, her adult school supplies, tips for new journalers, and more! We also do a live reading from our most recent journal entries!

Amber’s favorite journaling supplies include Stalogy notebooks in the b6 size, Midori notebooks, and Pentel EnerGel Pens. Looking for more journaling inspo? Amber recommends checking out the journaling subreddit, and following @_shelflove_ for book journaling ideas.

Books Amber has read and loved recently include Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez, The Neighbor Favor by Kristina Forest, and Wahala by Nikki May. Future releases she’s excited about include Next-Door Nemesis by Alexa Martin, and The Fragile Threads of Power by V. E. Schwab.

0:00.0	Hi everyone, welcome back to Bad on Paper Podcast. I'm Becca Freeman.
0:20.0	And I'm Olivia Mentor.
0:21.0	And today we're talking all about journaling, which I'm very excited about because one of
0:25.7	my new year's resolutions was to start a journal. And I have been avidly doing my line
0:32.3	of day journal since the beginning of the year. I've barely missed any. So I'm very excited
0:36.7	to hear how I can level up my journaling practice.
0:39.7	I think we have a lot of fellow five-year journals in the, how's it actually in the crowd?

0:49.7	Yeah, but before we get into it, tell me you're high.

1:44.4	And I'm so inspired by like just her strength as a human being and proud of her.
1:49.7	So we will put it in the show notes so you can check it out. Yeah, I'm just, I'm really proud.
1:54.7	That's amazing. I'm such a fan of Aiana's and I'm so thrilled that I've seen this article everywhere.
2:00.7	Yeah, she's, she's the best. What is your high?
2:04.7	My high is a little less serious. My high is that I have a new fridge.
2:10.7	That's still great.
