🌿 SHOW NOTES
I'm reviewing a completed 2024 Moleskine Daily notebook. Rather than keeping with the day-to-a-page format, I used this as my bullet journal, art journal, and commonplace book and it took about five months to fill. The paper is finicky but worked well with my favorite gel pen. Today I'm looking at the durability, pen test, paint test, and some of my completed journal pages.
