A blog by a witchy book lover that loves to rant about politics and diet culture
There is something, I think, that's really stylish and a little bit chic about black and gold together. It's a very on trend pairing at the moment so what better than to feature this pattern on my spring stationary. I go through notebooks like you wouldn't believe jotting down ideas for blogs and social media content and I like to have something with me at all times. I've loved using these little gems available from Neon Sheep. ( - #AD - I received the notebooks below and pen in ... Read more
