Vlog: #DiverseAThon January 2017

Last week was the second round of the #DiverseAThon, one of my favorite readathons I've participated in! This last week was tough. The American political climate right now is insane and I discuss in this vlog how it really impacted my reading throughout the week. I was off to a really wonderful start at the beginning of the week but as things got crazier and crazier throughout the week in the US, it became harder and harder for me to read. It was really nice to be around people who care about one another, though, and care about fighting the good fight. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the vlog and if you participated in #DiverseAThon I hope you had a wonderful reading week! :)

February 2017 Bullet Journal Plan with Me! + January Flip Through

Back again with another plan with me for a new month! I'm really liking how I set things up for the month of February and while it isn't that different from my January set up, it really feels like I'm starting to hit a groove in my planning in my bullet journal. I've been loving every page that I have in my Moleskine and am happy I've really come into my own as a bullet-journaler. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this plan with me video and let me know if you have any questions about my set up in the comments! :)
