Visual Diary | Putting Together My First Traveler's Notebook | Unboxing Japanese Stationery Goods

Hello! and welcome back! ^^ When I'm feeling cold, I like to have a cup of hot chocolate To keep the mug warm, I'm giving it a sweater to wear ^^ I made this mug sweater last month in one of my videos ^^ I do all my plant waterings early in the day before I start any projects so that the plants have time to absorb the water I never water at night Plants are nicely hydrated! ^^ I like to have a clean desk to start my day I feel disorganized if its not ^^ Today I'm very excited as I'll be on a new

adventure! If you don't know already, I want to introduce you to Traveler's notebook! I've been in love with the notebooks and accessories from Traveler's Company for a while After looking at them for far too long, I finally decided to make the purchase! The traveler's notebooks is very versatile since they offer many different refills for the notebook There are many official shops in the world that carry exclusive products and holds special events They are great to use when traveling to docume

nt the trip or everyday journaling, scrapbooking, and planner use. This is the base notebook that you start with. and then you get the add on refills to suit your needs These are the add on refills I got for my first traveler's notebook ^^ Brass clips that will hold the pages in place and a cute exclusive charm that was a little difficult to find! Opening my very first notebook!!! ^^ I like how the packaging is minimalistic like Muji but detailed and thoughtful It makes the experience even bette

r! The notebook cover itself is leather and comes in a few colors. This is the standard size and it comes in a smaller passport size. Every cover comes with a basic blank notebook This refill was the reason why I finally made the purchase! This refill book is made out of watercolor paper! The paper is nice and thick, perfect to draw and paint on! The pages are perforated so I can easily tear off the pages if I want Can't wait to try it out! Next I got a weekly planner refill The 2024 planners we

re sold out everywhere so I got the generic undated version I already got a 2024 planner from Muji earlier so this will be used for important dates and special occasions The great thing about this undated refill is I can write whatever dates I want! ^^ This back part will be very useful for traveling! This refill is a basic lined notebook This will be great for taking notes Now I'm going to attempt putting all the refills together ^^ I need to figure out how to do this...lol I know I will need t

hese for multiple refills....so let's see! Oh! I forgot to open these! This will be great to store sticker sheets and loose pieces of paper! This tri-fold file will be useful in keeping documents and letters There are other types of refills but I chose these to start with ^^ I got the Traveler's Notebook from Amazon if you are interested in getting one, I have my Amazon affiliate links in the description below! ^^ There's a bit of a trial and error! I'm trying to put all the refills in the order

I want but using the least amount of elastic bands This is a special charm from Traveler's Factory Traveler's Factory is a stationary store in Japan that sells official Traveler's notebooks, accessories, and exclusive items The yosegi charm is made out of wood by using specialty wood craving technique from Hakone, Japan I went to Hakone a few years ago and got this wooden tray. I love the delicate craftmanship The charm reminds me of that trip and it was amazing! I love this charm so much! ^^ A

ll done! ^^ Next are the 2 brass clips. I think there's a exclusive Starbucks/Traveler's notebook brass clip in Japan Other than that, there's only these 2 versions available Here is the order of refills I managed to put together! The undated planner first... then watercolor book... then the lined notebook... the zip pouch blank notebook, and the tri-fold file My initial setup, I used 3 elastic bands. After playing with it a bit, I managed to reduce it to 2 bands I have a few more stationery ite
