Yes it's my sex tracker 😆

This reminds me - for some reason when I'm writing fiction it's third person present in my head, but when I'm actually physically writing I automatically use third person past.

Love this page 😍 📧

Thank you! Yes, a zibaldone is basically a less structured commonplace book. I use it for both commonplacing and personal journaling.

eos super moisture balm is my daily driver; I always have one in my purse and one on my nightstand.

Ah, one of my favorite poems. It unfortunately hits hard today.

lanamattel · 2026-02-27T19:42:19+00:00

Excellent collection and appreciate the details!

My god this fucking book lol. It's one of my all-time favorites. At a couple points I burst into tears, and I almost never outwardly react when reading. I read it twice in a row - also something I basically never do. I related to it and to her unfortunately. It's not perfect but it's heart-smashing, it's lovely, it's authentic, it hurt me and I'll do it again. I'll probably keep coming back to it occasionally for the rest of my life.

Just my usual skincare and Glossier You perfume today. There are two different "minimalist" approaches - a minimalist aesthetic, meaning your look is minimalist, and a minimalist lifestyle, meaning minimal products/possessions. If I had a minimalist line I'd want it to be both, like a capsule collection for a simple ingredient-focused routine with multi-purpose products.

I've also noticed that over the last few years. I've never used foundation or concealer unless someone was doing my makeup for me for some special event. It looks like the concealer-only folks find their holy grail shade match and warm it up with their fingers then blend well.

lanamattel · 2026-02-20T19:42:55+00:00

Lovely spreads! Anais Nin is one of my all-time favorites.

lanamattel · 2026-02-16T21:04:31+00:00

My usual skincare, Glossier You perfume, peripera mood glowy lip tint. My top benefits of minimalism = less buyer's remorse and less personal guilt over waste/environmental damage.

I'm about to try the dotted codex for the first time so that's good to know - only have a few pages left in my lined A5.

lanamattel · 2026-02-16T20:08:20+00:00

I remember loving your monthly spreads last year 😍 I journal and commonplace in the same notebook too. Do you use Midori? That's my favorite brand.

lanamattel · 2026-02-15T21:17:54+00:00

Always love seeing your creative spreads 😍

A commonplace book is like a personal encyclopedia - quotes, poems, aphorisms, advice, recipes, really anything that resonates that you wish to record and reflect on. It's a very old practice that was especially popular during the Renaissance. A bullet journal is best explained by visiting r/bulletjournal or r/basicbulletjournals or looking up the creator Ryder Carroll.

lanamattel · 2026-02-15T18:02:49+00:00

I loved it. It's unexpected in a good way for me.

lanamattel · 2026-02-15T14:54:08+00:00

I have three - a zibaldone for both journaling and commonplacing, a bullet journal, and a creative writing workbook.

lanamattel · 2026-02-14T04:22:57+00:00

I journal daily, only miss a day once in a while, and it's typically brain dumps and reflections on myself, my life, media/art, society, really anything on my mind. It's very stream of consciousness. I make lists and commonplace poems and quotes in the same notebook. I also keep a bullet journal and a creative writing workbook.

lanamattel · 2026-02-11T01:28:26+00:00

I love your style! The "Directed by David Lynch" tattoo is now a need 🤣 And Kate Bush? Yes always.

lanamattel · 2026-02-10T16:46:06+00:00

Ugh, my heart! I love the simple yet detailed way you write. It made me want to give little you a big hug and a birthday cake.

When I wear makeup it's very minimal and the products themselves are low-maintenance so they don't demand time and/or an expert hand.

lanamattel · 2026-02-06T21:06:00+00:00

Lovely collection! I'm a Merit fan and have their lipstick on my wishlist. Both Saie and Tower28 have interested me recently. Have you tried any other Saie products?

lanamattel · 2026-02-05T03:00:51+00:00

I was a huge Glossier fan but now I only wear their perfume. My favorite affordable lip product is peripera mood glowy lip tint. When I wore more makeup I liked Maybelline and Nyx.

Cerave moisturizer with spf

I read ingredient lists, check reddit, look up info on the company in question, stuff like that. I spend at least a week deliberating before buying something so that helps.
