Hey guys, it's Lucie.
Welcome back to Refinery29's YouTube channel.
If you're new to this channel, click the little subscribe button right here.
And if you're a returning subscriber,
you probably know that I've been promising this
video for months and months and months.
So here it is,
As you might know, I did five days of bullet journaling last year, and when I did that
episode I fell in love with the bullet journal
for about a week.
It was a fling.
We had a brief fling.
Truth be told, I gave up the bullet journal
at the end of 2017 and I was really upset
about it because I got a lot of questions
from you guys– "Can you show us your bullet journal?
Let us see how it progressed since the video."
And I was sitting here like, "Oh no!
I stopped…"
So!
That takes me to 2018 and I realized that
I want to get back into bullet journaling.
And I went on Instagram and I looked at
#bulletjournal, #bujoinspiration
and let me tell you– I was inspired.
That was when I realized that the best way
to use a bullet journal is the best way that
it works for you.
Because there are three aspects of the
bullet journal that I really loved.
Number one, the first thing I love is having a monthly spread,
where I can see before me the entire month
laid out and I sort of know, top level, what's
happening on each day.
Number two, trackers.
I love tracking habits and adding good habits
into my life and getting rid of bad ones.
And for me trackers are a great way to visualize
my progress and inspire me to keep going.
And the third thing that I love about bullet journaling
is water coloring.
I've always loved water coloring, and I
recently bought a watercolor set from Michaels.
I personally find that it is the most meditative thing in the world.
And I love it as a creative outlet, it's fun.
But if you don't like water coloring you could find any other aspect of bullet journaling
that you enjoy.
So today I'm going to flip through my bullet journal,
I'm going to show you a little
bit about what I have there.
We'll plan a little for the month ahead
and I'll show you have I make some of my trackers.
And I also want to show a lot of
the bullet journaling tools that I've garnered
ever since starting this process.
I have tons of pens and markers, brushes,
pencils and I cannot wait to share it with you.
Okay, so here is the outside of my bullet journal.
This was a custom bullet journal case made
from a company called Case Station.
It's a picture of me and my twin sister Allie
doing yoga together.
When you open it up there are some pockets
on the left side and in the back I've tucked
in a few of my favorite stickers.
You can either slide an existing bullet journal
into one of these cases or just use the dotted
journal that comes with the case.
And I love that it has this elastic loop so
that I can close it securely.
I've been working on this bullet journal
for a long time but I intentionally didn't
watercolor my front page just yet because I wanted
to wait until this video to do it with you!
This is how I typically do my water coloring.
I outline the design with pencil first, and then
I just get moving.
I use a variety of brushes based on what
works best in the moment.
And I don't think too much about the color.
I just sort of do whatever looks best, and then mix and match.
I actually wrote bullet journal on the page first,
but I didn't love the way it looked so
I rewrote it on a scrap of watercolor paper,
tore it off and taped it on.
And I actually like the scrapbook look better anyway.
And before I let you plan with me,
I want to show you some of the tools and markers I use.
This entire set is from Bando and they're all amazing.
I have these Gel Yeah gel pens which are super bright and inky.
These color blocked Write On pencils,
a Le Pen rainbow six pack.
Some paper tape–oops dropped them.
But yes, they come in an eight pack with all these colors.
Another Gel Yeah set–but this one is a glitter set.
And Hot Spot highlighters, which are the best.
I also have this Bando pencil case which is gold on the inside.
So yeah, it's all gonna happen for you.
This assortment of amazing double sided highlighters
as well as these unicorn book buddies are
from Jet Pens and I've had these PolyColor
colored pencils for a while now, and they write
so smoothly.
They're great for when you don't want
your colors to bleed through a page.
I got this Pentel Presto! jumbo correction pen
at Blick Art Materials and it has seriously saved
me so many times whenever I make a mistake.
I have more goodies to show you but first
I am going to let you plan with me for April.
So I decided to work off of the phrase
"April showers bring May flowers."
And I lined up five rain stickers on the page,
one for each week in April.
And then I wrote April on top with my Tombow
Dual brush pen.
Designated each cloud as a week,
and added in the letters of the days of the week.
As you can see I did this in pencil first to make sure
it fit properly before I used the pen.
But then once the pen dried
I erased all the pencil underneath.
Then I went through and added the number of
the day next to the letters.
And that is my April monthly spread.
On the other side of the page I just made
a little monthly calendar.
And everytime I add a new page to my bullet journal,
I go back to the front and I add it to my
table of contents.
Now back to the tools, this next batch of
goodies, is all from Michaels.
These Crayola Super Tips come in literally
every color and are a great tool for hand
lettering beginners.
Crayola watercolors if you're like me and you love to paint.
A whole bunch of Tombow Dual Brush pens.
I personally think these are the best for hand lettering.
I have this galaxy palette, this pastel palette,
and this advanced lettering set, which comes
with a great eraser to remove your guidelines.
I have a whole bunch of brushes for my painting–
any size I could possibly need.
And these Pentel gel pens come in five different
tip sizes and they're my favorites, especially
the one that says 03 because it's really skinny.
And last but not least I have this sticker book,
with all of the stickers I could ever dream of.
Okay–trackers.
I mentioned that I love trackers and one thing
I've been sticking to recently is having
no coffee.
When I made this page it was the middle of
March and I hadn't had any coffee for a couple of weeks.
So I wanted to track it to see how long I could last.
I started by water coloring a cup of coffee.
And once the paint dried I outlined it with pen
and added some details.
I had already written out what the spread
would look like using pencil, and so then I just
went over it with darker ink.
I wrote in the weeks and then I decided to
use this abstract brown watercolor mark that
kind of looks like a coffee stain, as my daily
check mark spot.
So I added one of these for every day of the
month and then decorated the entire page with
fun stickers.
I wrote in the days of the week, checked off
the days that I had completed so far, and wrote in
the number of the days, and then added some
more fun stickers.
This is definitely one of my all time favorite habit trackers.
I've also been really focused on getting enough
sleep recently, so I wanted to build an April
sleep tracker for myself.
Once again, I started in pencil because I
had to measure it all out properly.
I make a ton of mistakes when I'm writing
in my bullet journal, so I pretty much do
everything in pencil first.
Then I added the days of the month,
and I used a ruler to make two separate graphs–one for
each half of the month.
The X axis is for the day of the month and
the Y axis is the number of hours I slept.
I first tried writing April with the a few different
pens, but I didn't like the way it came out.
So I took another tear of watercolor paper,
water colored a little gradient on it.
Covered up the old word and rewrote April.
So here is a look at some of my bullet journal right now.
This first page is that water color design,
followed by the table of contents, which I
add to every time I make a new page.
On the next page I'm documenting books I've
read and I drew a little book water
color in the corner to make this page pretty.
This page has my January 2018 yoga tracker,
which was totally inspired by a spread I found
on Pinterest.
Then I have my fresh juice ideas, which are
all from the Juice Generation book.
And I water colored a little fruit or veggie next to each.
This is my January monthly log,
and my February monthly log.
And here's a fun page I made for my
family vacation to Costa Rica.
I water colored these rainbow clouds,
one for each day of the trip.
And then at the end of every day I wrote a
little blurb in the cloud so that I could
read back and remember highlights from the trip.
You've already seen this page in Five Days of
Self Care, but it has my cactus water
color and my Five Days of Self Care episode breakdown.
You've seen these pages too, but here's
my gratitude log and some color swatches that
I actually added more to since that video.
Basically these swatches let me see how
the different pens and markers look on the
paper so that I can always refer to it whenever
I'm choosing which colors to use.
This was my March monthly log which was inspired
by My Life In A Bullet.
I've written the highlights of the day in
the little boxes and I made space on the bottom
for my upcoming videos.
But I feel like this page is still not done and needs
something else in the empty space.
And then here's my no coffee tracker,
my April monthly log, and my sleep tracker.
And that's it!
That is my bullet journal.
Comment below because we want to know, if
you guys really love bullet journaling so much,
do you want to see me make more videos
on this topic?
And if so, what do you want me to show you?
Do you want me to just let you plan with me every month?
Do you want me to just do a flip through every so often?
Do you want me to make my own line of Lucie
Bullet Journals and sell them online?
Just give us ideas!
We want to have fun with you and I want you guys to
make bullet journals and tag #trylivingwithlucie
on your own Instagram accounts
so that I can see your bullet journals.
