Journaling Is An Experience

Having a journaling essentials gift basket right next to me helps me capture any spark of creativity that happens while I’m bundled up in my chair, without needing to pry myself from my favorite chair. Because who wants to move when you’ve finally settled into that perfect position… or have a cat who has just joined you?

Beyond the basic journaling essentials, I absolutely LOVE making journaling an experience that is cozy, comfortable, and inspiring. 

Cozy Gifts

My ideal writing nook is in a comfy chair that I can draw my legs up into under the warmest blanket, with a sturdy yet comfortable writing surface. With all of my journaling supplies and my favorite mug to sip coffee in the morning or tea in the evening, at my side, I’m ready to capture my thoughts, dreams, goals, and intentions.

I do not like to write or journal on a table. Can you relate? I’m much more inspired in a comfy cozy spot with my journal balanced on my lap or knee. 

Blankets

The absolute best quality about these blankets is how warm they are! I am someone who is always cold and shivering no matter what I do or how many layers I put on.  So, I created a line of blankets that are super warm. This truly is the only blanket that I reach for and ONLY blanket that keeps me warm enough.

The second best thing about this blanket is that it comes in 3 extremely soft prints: Mountain & Night Sky, Pink Nebula, Purple Galaxy, and two price points. I love just running my hands over these blankets when I’m stressed. It calms my anxiety almost instantly. #stimming
