The study journal
ABOUT ME
hi! I'm natalie:) i'm 15 years old, i'm a sophomore in high school, and i live in the united states! as you probably already know, i love bullet journaling! I've actually been journaling for almost 2 years now! I started my instagram account around 10 months ago for fun, and i honestly never imagined i would come to love it so much. I've met so many amazing, talented, and supportive people through the journaling community... and i've received an insane amount of support and love from all of you - I honestly don't know how to thank you guys enough :'( so i guess before i bore you with all the sappy stuff, I just wanted to say thank you for your support! it truly means so much to me!
Apart from bullet journaling, i also love pen paling, photography, swimming, and playing the piano and flute! even though I'm only a sophomore, I honestly have no idea what i want to go to college for, but i'm sure i'll figure it out soon enough :/ I don't have a ton of hobbies, but i guess my hobby would be trying out different hobbies :')
before i started bullet journaling, I would always watch amanda rach lee's pwm videos, but i never thought i would be able to commit to actually having my own bullet journal :/ but i finally got my own journal, and decided to just try it out for a while. after many many style changes and art blocks, i can honestly say that i can't see myself giving up bullet journaling any time soon :)
I love connecting with new people on instagram, so feel free to dm with me with questions, or just to chat! my dms are always open! although i absolutely love love loveee collabing and pen paling, i'm currently not accepting any new pen pals, but collabs are usually open! (don't quote me on that lol)
feel free to check out some of the other sections of this card! you can also find my socials on the home section! thank you for stopping by! :)
The sticker shack
My friend neve and i have always loved doodling and drawing, and recently we decided to open up a sticker shop account on instagram!
The sticker shack is a joint shop run by the two of us, and we are planning on selling stickers and other stationery items! although we haven't opened up an etsy shop quite yet, we are planning on opening one in late august / september! we will still be posting sneak peaks and sticker releases in the meantime :) All of our products will be handmade and hand cut by us, and our designs are all original :) as of right now, we are planning on shipping both nationally and internationally, but we still need to figure out some details. stay tuned as we begin releasing some of our first designs - a rep search may be on the way as well ;)
Please note - both of us are logged onto this account, so dms and comments can be from, or replied to by either of us! if you have any additional questions or just want to chat, our dms are always open!

FAQ
I thought i would go ahead and answer some of the frequent questions i receive on my bullet journal account!
Q - what bullet journal do you use?
A - i use the leuchtturm1917:) The pages are a bit thin, but overall there is minimal to no bleeding and i've really enjoyed using this notebook! lots of ghosting tho :/
Q - when did you start bullet journaling?
A - i started in january of 2019, so its coming up on 2 years now!
Q - who is your biggest inspiration?
A - i was blown away by amanda rach lee's bullet journal videos on youtube even before i started bullet journaling, and ever since she's been one of my biggest inspirations! other than that, there are honestly WAYYYYY too many accounts to name if i had to name my inspirations... im mostly just inspired by my friends in the bullet journaling community! they are all so talented :')
Q - how do you edit your photos?
A - i use an app called snapseed! i've always used it and it's honestly super easy to use! I definitely recommend trying it out if you haven't!
Q - what are your favorite and least favorite things about bullet journaling?
A - This is honestly such a tough question but i get it alot... i'd say my favorite thing about bullet journaling it getting to experiment with your style! I've change my journaling style so many times but honestly that's the beauty of it! I also love being able to stay organized while being aEsThEtic and artys hehe :) for my least favorite thing... i feel like sometimes it can be really hard not to compare your own bullet journal and work to others, and sometimes lack of motivation can REALLY get in the way :/
Q - What some are your favorite stationery items?
A - oooh i always love this question! i'd have to say that the tombow dual brush pens are in the top three along with zebra brush pens and my tombow hard tip brush pens! I also really like the pigma micron pens! apart from pens, i honestly just LOVE using stickers from my friends in the bullet journaling community, so my etsy stickers and rep stickers are some of my other favorites! I honestly couldn't go without my brown craft paper, washi tape and vellum for layering!
