This has to be one of the most pink April I have ever witnessed! The whole surroundings is drenched in different shades of pink, the pink of Spring 🌸💗

January is already racing ahead!! How are we in week two already? 🙈
Ended the holiday weekend with a quiet riverside walk, a beautiful view, and a very happy heart. Now it’s time to slowly step back into routine and reality with a wonderful message, to live in the moment 🫶🏻

Encompassing the week with its little tales 🤍
From waking up to a breathtaking sunrise to the tiniest baby steps I had to take to walk through a heavy snowfall ( a thrill and an adventure I didn't know existed at the door step!), binging Wednesday series - eerie and fun and completely consumed by Fourth Wing over the weekend! Hence the momentary sluggishness around here 🫠✨

Happy Tuesday 🫶🏻

Last of the July pages and we move to August 🫰🏻

So, my birthday was just a few days ago, and it was actually my second one celebrating away from home. But this time it felt completely like home, even though I am on a whole different continent and in another country!
Over the past year, I have met some awesome people and made some really good friends! I had such a lovely time hanging out with everyone and they are all so warm and welcoming. A super special memory is that my husband and I hosted our very first dinner party for our friends here to celebrate my birthday, our one year living together and second anniversary!
We cooked bengali delicacies to bring the exotic taste of our home to our new home country, bridging the gap between two worlds. It was absolutely surreal and truly grateful for this experience.
My birthday weekend totally stretched into a surprise movie date planned by my husband. (He told me we are going to Urgent Care in a mall and my peak naivete I fell for it 🫣) We watched "The Odyssey," and according to the internet, Nolan and I actually share the same birthday 😄🌝. It was seriously such a wonderful weekend, full of so many moments to feel really grateful for.
Just wanted to give a huge shoutout and thank you to this amazing community for all your support for my art and creative adventures this past year 😘🤌🏻
And also, a massive thank you for all the sweet birthday messages I got, even though I didn't post anything about it! Your thoughtful gestures really touched me 🤗💕

Have a lovely week ahead ❤️

Journaling totally feels like a therapeutic exercise and a way to collect memories all at once! I usually bring it up when I am chatting with other people, and I always wonder how they manage without journaling or how they remember stuff just from photos, without any words or anything else. I have actually been jotting down little notes since I was a kid. I figure that habit probably started way back in school. Remember how we used to write down our homework in our school diaries every day? And then, at the very end of the page, we had to scribble down something about how the day and that's probably where it all began for me! As we got into higher grades, that habit just sort of faded away!? It all became about examinations and grades and tests. I sometimes wonder, though, what if I had stopped doing it too?! How would I even keep track of my days now?! 🤔

It is pretty wild how much has changed since AI showed up in our daily lives, right? There are definitely ups and downs, but I gotta say, this is one of the awesome upsides that I am really enjoying!! Gemini is literally my style assistant/ buddy where I discuss what to wear or how to accessorise or how a particular look will work for me. Okay, so the funniest thing ever was when I was at H&M with my hubby and I picked out a dress. He was all like, "Yeah, that looks great on you! Let's get it!" And I just had to say, "Nope wait, I have to get Gemini's approval first!" 😂 Seriously, I can't even tell if it's a good thing or a bad thing anymore!
Curious to know what's your upside you are enjoying with AI 🤔

Hey there, I know this is my second post today, so no worries if you are busy and can't drop a comment. A like would be totally awesome and duly appreciated and I would be super happy with just that too!🌝

I feel I got my voice and thoughts back! I did journaling in the past 6 months but the satisfaction right now is paramount. My only advice for this planner season being a journal veteran of 4.5 years ( sorry for being cheeky and calling myself a veteran for just 4.5 years journaling) is to stick to your size. Please refrain from giving into the temptation of experimentation and planner post sensations unless you have good resources to try out different sizes simultaneously otherwise stick to your size as a holy grail. I hope in my next post I will be writing something else other than hovering about A5. I am a person who likes to connect and write but somehow I felt who is gonna read my captions and post and now I realise, me , I am gonna read it next month and laugh about it and enjoy a ton. And if you are reading this with me then yay, double fun! So write, speak, laugh as much as you can ( of course don't laugh at me, 🤫 that bad manners!)
Have an amazing morning/evening/night/pre-dawn probably, hey I know you are doom scrolling!🫠

As always few discount codes linkes in my bio. Any purchase from those will help me buy another tombow brush pen 🌝. Feel free to explore and connect to me even for a hi! And yeah I may reply late but I reply surely 🤗

One enjoyable aspect of journaling, in my opinion, is the opportunity to write about and even romanticize ordinary moments. This allows your future self to see how your present self began. Living just with my husband on a completely different continent, without any help or assistance, means that even preparing traditional meals from our homeland and keeping their authentic tastes feels like a big achievement. I know that looking back at these pages will certainly help me appreciate how much progress I have made and how far life has come.

Throughout the year, I experimented with different journals before finally settling on an A5 graph notebook from @hobonichi_global. Currently, I feel completely at home with my journal. I hope you are enjoying this journey as much as I am enjoying sharing it with you 🤗

As always feel free to reach out to me even for just a chat 💃🏻
Also do check out the link in my bio if you feel for a discount on a purchase.
I may reply late to your wonderful comments but they do make my day and hour and minute so I am forever grateful for your time and words 😌🥹🥰

Why do I feel the urge to explore or try out alternative sizes? A5 is my ideal size, and I am sticking with it. If I propose any changes for myself in the upcoming planner season, please help me return to using A5.
I hope you enjoy reading through my filled pages again! I certainly had a great time writing down my thoughts and daily updates in detail 😌🥰

The Shippers
5/5

The book follows childhood best friends, Jojo and Cooper, as they navigate their way back to each other although the journey is largely led by Jojo. Her overthinking, analytical, math-loving mind was such a delight to read, and the rapid-fire, witty banter between the two added so much energy and made me laugh so hard. This is one of the books I read where the plot is pretty simple but the narrative style made it worth it. Definitely a true summer read ❤️🥂

Discount links are in my bio 👆🏻
