Review: 3 Year Update Review - As I went to repurchase this Notebook, I realized I should leave a review. I own many of these notebooks, and I still have and use my notebook I purchased 3 YEARS AGO! For those wondering, it has two bookmarks, an elastic strap that keeps the notebook closed, and haven't had a single one snap. Has a small folder in the back as well as perforated pages if you need to take a page with you. Lastly the elastic pen holder that comes with the notebook is a great feature. Diving into what matters however is the paper quality. I would say for the price it definitely get's the job done. Ink drys fast with ball point pens as well as fountain pens, however there is some page bleed. The paper is great to write on however and that is why I love this notebook so much. I'm able to toss it into my bag, backpack, or carry it with my bible as it's not too big, but not too small its just perfect. Lastly, no this isn't a paid review or whatever, I wish it was shooooot. Yo Jeff hit me up, but besides that I really just got bored and felt compelled to waste 10 minutes of my life writing a useless review. If you've read this far, I hope you have a lovely lovely day. Today will present you with many great blessings, make sure to be on the lookout!
Review: Thick paper - I took a chance and bought this notebook. First, I have to say, I’m a bit snobbish when it comes to stationeries, so I was a bit more hesitant to get this notebook. I’m extremely picky when it comes to show through, ghosting, and bleedthrough. When I first got this notebook i immediately noticed the weight. It was a dense notebook and I personally like that. The pages were also thick and I know that just because it is thick doesn’t mean that it is safe from bleedthrough and ghosting, so I went to tested out all of the pens I have. I tried to use the darkest colors I have so that I know this is the maximum color intensity that will let me know if I will see ghosting and bleedthrough. I expected fountain pens, markers, and watercolor paint to bleedthrough but to my surprise they were ghosting and not bleed. The watercolor one surprised me the most as I know this is not watercolor paper but it held up pretty well. I’m sure if I made a boarder before I paint, the paper would not warp as much. But I was very satisfied. The pages are smooth but not too smooth that you cannot control your writing. One thing I noted as more of a user error is that I know I’m very heavy handed and do I can see the lines creases that I make on the opposite page. I am the type to prefer writing on only one side of the paper, but I actually did not mind it that much for this notebook. I think it’s because even though I can see and feel it, I have to focus on it to notice. Im using this notebook as a planner, so there are pages that I let blank for cover pages and I do think if my design are more minimalistic then I would double page to prevent 100% showthrough. I have only prep for 2 months, so I don’t know how this notebook will hold it shape over time (I like to make waterfall tabs and Dutch doors). I was pleasantly surprised to see that it has a back pocket, some stencils, and the last 10-20 pages were perforated for easy tearing. Overall, I’m glad I bought this notebook and it met my expectations and to a degree exceeded it, especially for the price that it is.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cute little journal
*by H***T on April 13, 2026*

This notebook is the perfect size for me and my needs. I plan on using it for Bible study and sermon notes. I love the color! The material is very smooth and the pages are also smooth and shiny! It’s pretty thick notebook, which I like! I’m very pleased with this one. The pages are also thick enough to where my pens don’t bleed through.
