I've always been picky about my notebooks. I like a notebook with a thick paper since I write in a heavy manner, which often results to marks on the next page. I also don't like it when ink bleeds through the other side of the paper.
When I received the Northbooks ruled notebook, I was super excited to see how the paper inside was. Here is a quick product description from the company:
Northbooks are great notebooks made in New York. Our original ruled soft
cover notebook keeps it simple with high quality paper for a fine
writing experience. Each notebook is 5x8 inches (13x20 cm) with rounded
corners. This notebook is our go-to size for light work and for serious
play, and it works great as a writing journal.

- Designed in NYC and made in Brooklyn, Northbooks is a distinctly American brand - Flexible and durable soft cover of 30% post consumer kraft paper, color neutral - 96 pages of smooth college ruled, acid-free paper, certified for ecological sourcing and manufactured in the US -
Sized small enough to pack along and large enough to write it all down,
works as a travel journal and as a notepad for list making - High quality paper that is a joy to write on, and keeps ink from bleeding across pages
The ruled notebook from Northbooks has a simple look but the pages inside are really nice. The pages inside has a yellowish/brownish color and has a super smooth feel.
Each paper is thick enough for ink not to bleed through the page but not thick enough for the paper to feel stiff. I also like the thickness because my handwriting didn't go through the next paper.
The smoothness of each paper makes it feel like my pen just glides on the page. Aside from that, the size is just right if I wanted to bring this on a trip. It is small enough to be placed inside my bag but large enough for me to write notes. You can learn more about the Northbooks Ruled 5x8 Notebook HERE.

I love collecting cute notebooks and journals even when I was younger. I used to have a drawer full of different notebooks and pens because I collect them. When I was given the opportunity to try the WAFF Glitter Journal Notebook, I was so excited to see it in person because the notebook looked super cute online.
I chose the Combo Pack - Medium in Fuchsia color and I was super happy when I received it. The actual notebook looked just as cute as it is online.
The outer cover is made our of a sparkly silicone material which is really cute. The color of the cover is so vibrant and sparkly that my daughters wanted this when they saw it.
The 2 silicon clips included are perfect to keep the notebook/journal closed
The paper also has a good quality. I am a bit picky when it comes to the quality of my notebook's paper and even when the notebook looks pretty, if the paper quality inside is not good, I wouldn't buy it. So, I was glad that the quality of the paper of the WAFF glitter journal is nice.
The letters have the same quality as the notebook and can be placed/stuck on the book. I received a total of 73 random alphabets letters with random colors.
The 2 clips can be removed and reattached anywhere on the sides of the notebook which is really cool.
I love how I can change the words outside the notebook daily. The letters attach and detach easily from the notebook. I can spell a 6-letter word horizontally or a 9 letter word vertically.
This is a very cute and pretty journal/notebook perfect for young girls as well as moms like me. I love how unique this notebook is and the quality of both the cover and the paper is really nice.
The WAFF Glitter Journal Notebook is available in 2 different sizes and several fun, vibrant colors. See them HERE.

My daughters love drawing random things on paper and coloring using their crayons, watercolor paint and markers. They are artsy and for a 4 and a 6 year old, they are pretty good in drawing. I always look for different ways to pique their interest in drawing so when I learned about liquid chalk markers, I introduced it to them and they were super happy to use them because they're different.
First of all, they understood that when they use the liquid chalk markers, they can only draw on our mirror and the glass sliding door. They are very quick to agree and so far, they only draw on these 2 places I told them to.
So, having been aware of the liquid chalk markers before, I was excited to have been given the opportunity to try the Colore Liquid Chalk Markers which came in a pretty, colorful box.
The Colore Liquid Chalk Markers came in 8 different colors and there's a bonus free silicone pen holder.
There are 5 different colored silicone pen holders which is sent variably. So, you wouldn't know which color you'll receive until you get the markers. I like the surprise color because I like surprises. Plus, I was surprised that I received a silicone pen holder in pink, which is my favorite color.
There are 8 different colored liquid chalk markers included:
- purple
- white
- blue
- yellow
- orange
- pink
- red
- green
Watch a short video of me using the Colore Liquid Chalk Markers above.
I was impressed at how colorful, vibrant and vivid the Colore Liquid Chalk Markers are. They write smoothly and glides easily and I love that it has minimal scent.
It is very easy to clean. My daughters can draw and re-draw different kinds of things. They can easily erase it with a dry paper towel with no smudge marks after. It wipes off completely with no problems and doesn't stain the mirror and glass door.
I also like the interchangeable tip because my daughters can choose between a broad tip or a pointed tip. The only thing is, when the tip is already soaked with ink, it gets a bit messy on my hands since I'm supposed to pull the tip out to change tips.
These are great to use on my chalkboard labels as well because they dry up quickly and are erasable. They don't smudge easily and I love how they give life to my labels at home.
The Colore Liquid Chalk Markers are great to use for art, labeling and decorating glasses and mirrors. I like them and so does my daughters.

I have an addiction to pens. Back when I was in college, I have a box-full of pens with different colored inks. One thing I didn't own was a multipurpose pen and now, I realized how handy they might've been when I was still studying. So, when Kyasi sent me their 3 in 1 pen, I was happy to try it.
The Kyasi New York 3 in 1 Pen comes in 7 different colors. It's a 3 in 1 pen because, wait for it..., it's a stylus, a pen and a laser! Cool huh?!
It came in a pretty box and the pen inside was absolutely pretty and gorgeous. I chose the purple one because it's my second favorite color.
The pen is a bit heavy because it's made of 100% brass and with the
battery for the laser pointer, it is heavier than a normal pen. It is
however very easy to hold because the diameter of the pen is just right
for me.
One end of the Kyasi 3in1 pen is a laser pointer which runs on 3 small batteries, which by the way is already included. The laser pointer is very bright even in a
well lit room so that's a huge plus for the pen again.
The other end of the pen is a stylus which is a stylus made of a high quality microfiber mesh. This stylus works great with my Moto G and my iPad mini. It doesn't create any scratches on my screen so that's another plus for me again.
Now, the most important part of a pen for me is the ink. No matter how pretty the pen is, if I don't like the ink, I wouldn't use it. The Kyasi New York 3 in 1 pen has a nice black ink and it writes very smoothly. The pen is refillable with a standard D-1 sized built-in ballpoint pen so I like that I can buy my own ink in the future too.

This is a perfect gift for students, teachers, co-workers and anybody who loves a pretty, classy and high-quality multipurpose pen.
