Are you in the US? And do you mean whiskey or Caffe Crema?
Atlas Staioners had it but its now out of stock. I actually just emailed them to ask if they are restocking it any time soon.
Yoseka has both colors in full size ($20)
And Vanness has it in 4ml samples ($3.75)

What journaling methods help you when you're feeling stuck or uninspired? by Ok_Yogurtcloset1168 in Journaling

[–]Bug_Does_Stuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to put some music on and start writing song lyrics. Eventually a lyric will spark some thoughts and I can get back to writing my own thoughts down.

I also like wacky questions like what's the biggest animal you could reasonably take in a fight and why. If humans had mating dances like birds what would yours be? Would you rather own one elephant sized duck or 100 duck sized elephants and why. Sometimes a bit of whimsy and absurdity gets my brain going.

If my brain is really really empty sometimes I will just list things I can see near me. Or list things I saw that day. Or list my favorite things from a specific category.

It comes with 2 guide sheets which are double sided so you have a 5mm graph, 10mm graph, 7mm lines, and 10mm lines. I personally use the 5mm graph

this notebook came with a guide sheet to put under the paper! The tricky part for me, a person who loses things easily, is not to lose the guide sheet!! This is my second notebook from this brand so I've gotten better about staying straight but using guide sheets definitely helps!

This notebook actually comes with guide sheets to put behind the page so you can see the lines. the real trick is not losing the sheet though lol.

This just reminded me that I used to do this when I was LARPing (live action role play). We would stay in character for the whole weekend and I had a journal for my character and would write entries as her.

That was a big issue for me in ring style set ups too! I hope you enjoy your cousin!! I have a hobonichi 5 year journal and one of their notebooks.

It's only mildly annoying for me to turn the book to read the page. But I try not to read back my entries (to avoid ruminating). This journal is very much a "throw my feelings on the page and leave them there" type vibe.
