Moleskine and I

I love Moleskine, I absolutely adores them. I am truly a big fan of these babies and if I could, I would have use everything Moleskine for my paper stationery. Call me the victim of marketing campaign but I just fall in love with the idea of using the same notebook with Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, and Ernest Hemingway.

I have been using Moleskine planner for my agenda three years in a row. I love the 2013 version where it is actually an 18 months weekly planner Peanuts Edition. Yes, people, Snoopy!

They have all kind of format for notebook. You can even download the templates you need as an add-ons for your planner here.

I have been very happy with using Moleskine all this time. My only complaints, beside their price, is that there are not many version available here and the only way we can purchase those we really wanted is to have them shipped all the way from Hong Kong.

The bookstore which I often buy my supplies does not carry large amount of variety and those which is commonly used is selling out like a hot cupcakes. Although at first I actually wanted a black planner, this year I'm using the one in red.

The one I'm using now comes with a book of tabbed pages and some fun stickers. They are kept in the folded cover in the back, just like any planner I have previously used.

I love the paper quality and I love the smell of these notebooks. I too was surprised that they have an application for Moleskine on iPad. But there is nothing like the real thing.

I am planning to incorporate my binder, which is -shame on me- has not been done yet even this is mid February already, with this planner. I absolutely will not put a daily to-do list in my binder since I have used this planner to take notes of my to-do's.

As promised, I will post our home management binder once I have decided the system we will working on. Stay tuned, peeps!
