00:00Hey guys!

00:00It's Lucy.

00:01Welcome back to Refinery29's YouTube channel.

00:04If you're new to this channel, click the little subscribe button right here.

00:08And if you're a returning subscriber, you probably know that I've been promising this

00:11video for months and months and months.

00:13So here it is, the long-awaited bullet journal vlog.

00:22As you might know, I did five days of bullet journaling last year and when I did that episode,

00:27I fell in love with the bullet journal for about a week.

00:30It was a fling.

00:31We had a brief fling.

00:32Truth be told, I gave up the bullet journal at the end of 2017 and I was really upset

00:37about it because I got a lot of questions from you guys.

00:39Can you show us your bullet journal?

00:41Let us see how it progressed into the video and I was sitting here like, oh no, I stopped.

00:47So that takes me to 2018 and I realized I want to get back into bullet journaling and

00:54I went on Instagram and looked at hashtag bullet journal, hashtag BuJo inspiration and let

00:59me tell you, I was inspired.

01:02That was when I realized that the best way to use a bullet journal is the best way that

01:06it works for you.

01:07Because there are three aspects of the bullet journal that I really love.

01:10Number one, the first thing I love is having a monthly spread where I can see before me

01:14the entire month laid out and I sort of know top level what's happening on each day.

01:19Number two, trackers.

01:21I love tracking habits and adding good habits into my life and getting rid of bad ones.

01:26And for me, trackers are a great way to visualize my progress and inspire me to keep going.

01:31And the third thing that I love about bullet journaling is watercoloring.

01:34I've always loved watercoloring and I recently bought a watercolor set from Michaels.

01:38I personally find that it is the most meditative thing in the world and I love it as a creative

01:44outlet and it's fun.

01:45But if you don't like watercoloring, you can find any other aspect of bullet journaling

01:49that you enjoy.

01:50So today, I'm going to flip through my bullet journal, I'm going to show you a little bit

01:53about what I have there.

01:54We'll plan a little for the next month ahead and I'll show you how I make some of my trackers.

01:58And I also want to show you a lot of the bullet journaling tools that I've garnered ever

02:02since starting this process.

02:04I have tons of pens and markers, brushes, pencils, and I cannot wait to share it with you.

02:09Okay, so here's the outside of my bullet journal.

02:11This was a custom bullet journal case made from a company called Case Station.

02:16It's a picture of me and my twin sister, Allie, doing yoga together.

02:20And when you open it up, there are some pockets on the left.

02:23And in the back, I've tucked in a few of my favorite stickers.

02:27You can slide an existing bullet journal into one of these cases or just use the dotted

02:31journal that comes with the case.

02:33And I love that it has this elastic loop so that I can close it securely.

02:37I've been working on this bullet journal for a long time, but I intentionally didn't color

02:42my front page just yet because I wanted to wait until this video to do it with you.

02:46This is how I typically do my watercoloring.

02:48I outline the design with pencil first and then I just get moving.

02:54I use a variety of brushes based on what works best in the moment.

02:58And I don't think too much about the color.

03:00I just sort of do whatever looks best and then mix and match.

03:04I actually wrote bullet journal on the page first, but I didn't love the way it looked,

03:08so I rewrote it on a scrap of watercolor paper, tore it off, and taped it on.

03:13And I actually like the scrapbook look better anyway.

03:16And before I let you plan with me, I want to show you some of the tools and markers I

03:20use.

03:21This entire set is from Bandeau and they're all amazing.

03:24I have these Gel Yeah gel pens, which are super bright and inky.

03:29These color-blocked write-on pencils, a Le Pen rainbow six-pack, some paper tape, oops,

03:36dropped them.

03:37But yes, they come in this eight-pack with all of these colors.

03:40Another Gel Yeah set, but this one is a glitter set.

03:43And hot spot highlighters, which are the best.

03:46I also have this Bandeau pencil case, which is gold on the inside.

03:51So yeah, it's all going to happen for you.

03:54This assortment of amazing double-sided highlighters, as well as these Unicorn Book Buddies, are

03:59from Jet Pens.

04:01And I've had these polycolor colored pencils for a while now, and they write so smoothly.

04:06They're great for when you don't want your colors to bleed through a page.

04:09I got this Pentel Presto Jumbo Correction Pen at Blick Art Materials, and it has seriously

04:16saved me so many times whenever I make a mistake.

04:19I have more goodies to show you, but first I'm going to let you plan with me for April.

04:22I decided to work off of the phrase, April showers bring May flowers, and I lined up

04:27five rain stickers on the page, one for each week in April.

04:31And then I wrote April at the top with my Tombow Dual Brush Pen, designated each cloud

04:38as a week, and added the letters of the days of the week.

04:41As you can see, I did this in pencil first to make sure it fit properly before I used

04:45the pen.

04:45But once the pen dried, I erased all of the pencil underneath.

04:48Then I went through and added the number of the day next to the letters, and that is

04:53my April monthly spread.

04:54On the other side of the page, I just made a little monthly calendar.

04:57And every time I add a new page to my bullet journal, I go back to the front and add

05:01it

05:01to the table of contents.

05:03Now back to the tools.

05:05This next batch of goodies is all from Michaels.

05:08These Crayola super tips come in literally every color and are a great tool for hand lettering

05:13beginners.

05:14Crayola watercolors, if you're like me and love to paint.

05:17A whole bunch of Tombow Dual Brush Pens.

05:21I personally think these are the best for hand lettering.

05:24I have this galaxy palette, this pastel palette, and this advanced lettering set which comes

05:30with a great eraser to remove your guidelines.

05:32I have a whole bunch of brushes for my painting, any size I could possibly need.

05:37And these Pentel gel pens come in five different tip sizes and they're my favorites.

05:42Especially the one that says 03 because it's really skinny.

05:45And last but not least, I have this sticker book with all of the stickers I could ever dream

05:50of.

05:51Okay, trackers.

05:52I mentioned that I love trackers and one thing I've been sticking to recently is having

05:56no coffee.

05:57When I made this page, it was the middle of March and I hadn't had any coffee for a couple

06:01of weeks so I wanted to track it to see how long it could last.

06:04I started by watercoloring a cup of coffee.

06:08And once the paint dried, I outlined it with pen and added some details.

06:13I had already written out what the spread would look like using pencil and so then I just

06:18went over it with darker ink.

06:19I wrote in the weeks and then I decided to use this sort of abstract brown watercolor

06:24mark that kind of looks like a coffee stain as my daily check mark spot.

06:28So I added one of these for every day of the month and then decorated the entire page with

06:33fun stickers.

06:34I wrote in the days of the week, checked off the days that I had completed so far and wrote

06:39in the number of the days and then added some more fun stickers.

06:42This is definitely one of my all time favorite habit trackers.

06:46I've also been really focused on getting enough sleep recently so I wanted to build an April

06:51sleep tracker for myself.

06:52Once again, I started in pencil because I had to measure it all out properly.

06:56I make a ton of mistakes when I'm writing in my bullet journal so I pretty much do everything

07:00in pencil first.

07:02Then I added the days of the month and used a ruler to make two separate graphs, one for

07:07each half of the month.

07:08The x axis has the day of the month and the y axis is the number of hours I slept.

07:13I first tried writing April with a few different pens but I didn't end up liking the way it

07:18came out.

07:19So I took another tear of watercolor paper, watercolored a little gradient on it, covered

07:24up the old word, and rewrote April.

07:29So here's a look at some of my bullet journal right now.

07:32The first page is that watercolor design followed by the table of contents which I add to every

07:38time I make a new page.

07:39On the next page I'm documenting books I've read and I drew a little book watercolor in

07:44the corner to make this page pretty.

07:46This page has my 2018 yoga tracker which was totally inspired by a spread I found on Pinterest.

07:52And then I have my fresh juice ideas which are all from the Juice Generation book.

07:56And I watercolored a little fruit or veggie next to each.

08:00This is my January monthly log.

08:02And my February monthly log.

08:04And here's a fun page I made for my family vacation to Costa Rica.

08:08I watercolored these rainbow clouds, one for each day of the trip.

08:12And then at the end of every day I wrote a little blurb in the clouds so that I could

08:16read back and remember highlights from the trip.

08:18You've already seen this page in 5 days of self care but it has my cactus watercolor and

08:23then my 5 days of self care episode breakdown.

08:26And you've seen these pages too but here's my gratitude log and some color swatches that

08:31I've actually added more to since that video.

08:33Basically these swatches let me see how the different pens and markers look on the paper

08:38so that I can refer to them whenever I'm choosing which colors to use.

08:41This was my March monthly log which was inspired by my life in a bullet.

08:44I've written the highlights of the day in the little boxes and I made space on the bottom

08:48for my upcoming videos.

08:50But I feel like this page is still not done and needs something else in the empty space.

08:54And then here's my no coffee tracker, my April monthly log, and my sleep tracker.

09:00And that's it!

09:01That is my bullet journal.
