👉👉How I Use my Moleskine Journals:
th-cam.com/video/pnyiZXRdl3c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aUjaJ2twCkKgKhSK
I miss working at the bookstore. So many free Moleskines! The way you use yours is so free; I should stop overthinking my journaling.
Wow!! Free?? Lucky!
FREE?!? 😮
Yes!
OMG! Free Moleskine?! That sounds like free gold for me to take😂!
My local bookshop charges an arm and a leg for them, so expensive
This comment might seem super random but thank you for measuring the Moleskine thickness on Cm. It's very annoying when people only do it by inches.
The Bic Velocity 1.6 ballpoint pen is my absolute favorite pen! It writes so smoothly. Thank you for this look at the planner!
So smooth!!❤
I love the 18 month dailies 😍 its my notebook and my daily pages and I never run out of room
Right!! The pages are alll there!! 😍😍
I've been using the weekly 12-month planner for years.. I get so excited to start a new year and a fresh planner.
Just got three pocket 18 months weekly planners two of them were made it Vietnam and the third was made in China! There is a noticeable difference in the texture of the two papers. Thanks for this!
I love Moleskine softcover 😍❤️😍 I also do my pen at the page where I am! I use the daily pocket en weekly + note large.
I love to see you’re chunky Moleskine’s 😍😍😍
Hello, I am from Turkiye (sorry if this comment has any mistakes). Years ago I met with a notebook producer -for a project- that was actually making Moleskine, if I remember correctly Moleskine have special paper or special formula of paper. If producer doesnt use them, they immediately drop the producer. Many quality drops are about stiching and cover. Paper changes supposed to be super minimal to even notice. I am surpprised to hear people notice different quality of papers. Maybe the air conditions of factory/warehouse affect the paper but idk.
Moleskine papers have dramatically dropped in quality in recent years.
@@_Just_Some1 I didn't know. This was years ago(before covid) and I havent bought a new moleskine for years. except the one I ordered couple weeks ago and waiting (that book has been in more european countries than me) Now I am more excited to test it out
I got my first Moleskine today! I got the expanded with plain paper. It’s going to be more of a scrapbook/quote collection/collage and whatever. It’s going to be a fun adventure I just know it! 😃
Oh, fun!! May you enjoy the creative process and enjoy using your new Moleskine!❤❤
Mine came today! Mine was also in the green bag, but it was still shrink-wrapped and labeled like new. For $8, I thought it was a great experiment!
Yay, happy you were able to take advantage of the flash sale! Can't beat $8 for over 400 pages~😀😀
@@SeaweedKisses I bought a 2nd one before the price went up! 👍🏼
I love moleskine for all of the same reasons you do :) you could talk about this stuff for hours and I would totally enjoy it! You're very pleasant to listen to and I love to geek out about moleskine stuffs😊❤
You have VERY PRETTY nail beds!!!!
Oh wow I just ordered that yesterday to be delivered tomorrow! What a perfect timing!
Enjoy it! ❤❤
@@SeaweedKisses so mine arrived just now and the packaging was also weird. You can tell that's why they were discounted so heavily. Perfect inside though!
I really like the moleskines! I definitely need to use up what I have 😊! I looked at the link and many people have bought it so the price has gone up😁! Thanks for sharing your great deal😊!
I should probably use up what I have first, as well. But just couldn't resist this deal! 😂It is unfortunate that the price has now been bumped up due to the influx of traffic😔
I remember the days when Moleskine had decent paper for fountain pens. After establishing a good reputation among fountain pen users, Moleskine cut the paper quality, and remained pricey. Very sad. Fortunately, quality alternatives exist, sometimes at less cost.
Do you know of a good alternative for fountain pens? I love to use them just don’t like when they bleed through
@@leacea24 if you like moleskine, use the art series with higher gauge paper ...the bullet journal is quite cool, comes with a few bonuses
@@leacea24Midori notebooks are my favorite notebooks to use with fountain pens, or Good Inkpressions notebooks. Here’s a video sharing my fountain pen friendly notebooks- th-cam.com/video/aZJJzng7ZZ0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=b6JrjOwaYBj-AOIj
Thank you 💛
So glad I purchased one right after you posted this video, and I was able to get the $8 deal💛
Yay!! So glad you were able to. Enjoy!
Thanks. I like the Moleskines - light paper that works well with ballpoints and good binding. The heavier paper of other luxury brands annoys me
I love moleskine softcover. I refer to use ballpoint pens so it works great. I always enjoy your videos.
Yes! It's nice to see that there are others that still using ballpoint pens.🥰
Wow, I never thought to buy these. You have the BEST ideas!
I love how many pages it holds! Coming across notebooks (over 400 pages) are hard to find.
I really like the pocket Moleskine. Your pen test really demonstrates the paper quality. Another great video!
Thank you! Appreciate the support!
It's totally unfit for the fountain pen writing. Absolutely!!! I stopped to buy it several years ago
I love softcovers and ballpoint pens and cream paper. Those are my go to. Evidently I am not the norm. 😄😂
Then you are my type of people! We're rare to find 😂😂
Great ideas, your creativity has fueled my desire to create out of the box😎
Aww, thank you. Appreciate it. I share in the hopes to inspire ❤❤
There is also another lady's videos about Moleskine daily diary (also outdated) that she used as a notebook disregarding the dates.
Congratulations on a great find!
Thank you! I got a little anxious knowing I’m facing an asynchronous diary! An opportunity for creativity! ❤
@powthekicker8765 I have used old planners for notebooks for years! It's simply using otherwise perfectly good bound notebook, with the addition of random dates- for which you can use as a prompt to use varied journaling paraphernalia.
@@YellowSunStarWonderful suggestion! ❤
It's such a handy hack!
@@SeaweedKisses absolutely! My on-the-go notebook is a cut-down version of a daily journal that I never really got to using. It´s a thick notebook, lovely 70 gsm, off-white paper. I just cut it a little bit smaller so it´s even easier to carry around and rounded the corners. Voilà!
I’m late to the party, so the notebook was 9.50…. But, I didn’t neeeeeeed another journal, why did you make it look so fun that I had to buy it?! 😜
As an ADHD Journal guy, I love this idea of adapting the outdated text and using the pages. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you❤
You can use whiteout over the days of the week and use this as a 5 year planner or just as a full 18 month planner starting in July and going forward. Great find!
Great minds think alike as that is exactly how I intend to use this!🙌
Great find! I currently use the 18 month moleskine as my daily journal. There’s only a tiny date on top to cover up even if you buy an outdated version.
I saw your Instagram post and ordered one, can't wait to get it, thanks !
Oh, yay! Hope you enjoy using it! ❤❤
Also I was going to say… I do the same thing with outdated. Right now Amazon has all their Hobonichi 1/2 off. That’s when I buy them 😜

I just got the hardcover version of this same one on sale for $9.58!!
Moleskin has terrible paper mostly all pens bleed and feather terribly.
Yes. That’s why I enjoy using it with ballpoint and light gel ink pens
You read my mind - I was about to comment “is it the same size as the expanded?”. Thanks for this video!
Glad this was helpful!
I chuck my pen in there like that too! :D So convenient.
Glad to see I'm not the only one 😂
I will never stop being frustrated by the way Moleskine does their monthly calendars in these planners. If they got rid of all the random time zone pages, etc. they'd have enough pages to do two-page monthlies and have a much more functional planner.
Yeees!! This! Such a great point!🙌
If your left handed I wouldn't use the gel sharpie pen even though the package says it won't it does smudge.
They must've noticed an influx in orders for this notebook because the price jumped to $12 now lol. Still a deal though! Thinking of getting one for sure :)
When I go to the link I’m getting $19.38. Sucks.
Yes, it's unfortunate. I noticed that 😔😔
It’s $25 now.

All the world ❤ MOLESKINE. The best of the best.
I am keeping this one and returning my moleskine expanded because I ordered 3 expanded moleskines and they all came with the bad moleskine paper. This daily one had the good paper that actually takes highlighters I assume because it’s older.
I hate that they have eliminated the world holidays. it's not necessarily because I need the dates but the holidays were also indicated in the calendar on the dates. I don't want to have to look up everything. Also it's better to have a small reminder on the day rather than having to write them in myself. Maybe I'm just lazy but I found those "page fillers" to be very helpful.
This year, I bought a daily and a weekly. The daily has a yellow sticker, and the weekly has a blue sticker. The one with the blue sticker can handle fountain pens, and the one with the yellow sticker is so bad! It could be a coincidence, though. Also, Homegoods has been flooded with Leuchtturm lately!
Ahh, I see. If I ever come across a blue sticker, I'll be sure to make note of this. Thank you for the heads-up on Homegoods. Going to check this week! Appreciate it!
@SeaweedKisses I got so many! 😆 Different HomeGoods stores have different stock, too.
“Gotta Catch it All!” Hehe 😋 🎼
Hahaha!! Did the Pokemon song pop in your head, too? 😂😂
@@SeaweedKisses it sure did! Haha 😜
I’ve been buying these for years.
which paper design is your favorite?
@@SeaweedKisses I love the 18month daily because of how thick it is. Randi.plans has one and her flip throughs are awesome! I love her moleskine daily. I wish they would make more with themed covers instead of the plain. I love the black cover but I also have an Alice in Wonderland 18 month. I haven’t finished one yet because I just love buying them when they are really cheap and I don’t care if they are outdated. Moleskine is my favorite regardless of what other people say LOL
I did actually notice a big difference in paper quality between two of my moleskines and the main difference (I didn’t think to check manufacturing) was that one had the QR code and branding printed on the end pages, and the other didn’t but had the pamphlet. (The better quality paper was in the pamphlet version, that I got on sale from staples). You could really tell the paper was less porous and the ink sat better on the surface instead of getting immediately absorbed and showing the pulp texture through the fountain pen ink.
I’m glad to have a few copies with the better paper, but I’m not holding my breath re: finding more.
I mean, I still wouldn’t call it fountain pen friendly exactly, but depending on the ink there’s the potential for little to no bleeding with regular writing so I’ll take my win 😂
Ahh, interesting. Good to know, and thank you for sharing your experience. Will have to keep this in mind.
I think it's great when the annual calendars or diaries are already reduced in the second half of the year. There are still plenty of opportunities to use them.😊
Yes, exactly!
Do you like a thicker pen, like a .5 or .7, & which is better?
@@kristinedonahue5113 for gel, I enjoy 0.7. For ballpoint, I use 1.6
This was a very thorough review. Thank you. I’m trying to get through the journals I have right now. Journal envy…self control in full effect. 😅
I totally understand that! Us notebook lovers probably have enough to last our lifetime! 😂😂
I got mine today! I am redating for my work planner 2025 but will start using it this week!
Yay! That's great to hear. Enjoy!
Because my favorite weekly planner layout is moleskine and hobonichi weeks only (and the weeks is too small) I went on a quest to figure out a fountain pen and ink combo that works. What I learned is that my vintage pens, I use a Sheaffer Balance that’s nearly 100 years old, coupled with a heritage ink brand, Sheaffer or Parker Quink or Mont Blanc, works great on the moleskine. I also learned that the modern Platnium Preppy with an ef nib and any ink that isn’t really wet also works great. Right now I’m using my Balance with Microfilm Black Quink (yes, that’s vintage ink), but I do have other Sheaffer pens of 1930s and 1940s vintage that work equally well. I have a Lady Sheaffer from the 1960s I’m not as happy with in the moleskine.
Thank you for sharing your experience ❤
@@ladyflimflam Amen.
If you want a version that isn’t a diary they do a 400 page notebook version
Yes, I know, which I mention in the video 😊😊But this one was on sale for $8, so I couldn't resist.
After watching this video, I got one of these in Scarlet Red for $6!
Watch out bc the weekly is not same as Daily.Make sure your order says Daily if you want the thick one.
@@clairesladylair3624 good catch, and I noticed this right after I ordered it. I was able to find a 12 month daily for $11 which is still a good deal. Thank you!
I picked that one up, as well!! Couldn't resist the $6!
@@natmarie8523 glad you got it! enjoy!
@@natmarie8523 I am glad you got it. Enjoy.

Great video! Thank you! Just shared your channel with someone else who loves journaling too. 😊
Aww, thank you! ❤❤
Crazy I couldn’t even find it now. Great find
thank you ❤❤

I am SO switching to getting old calenders for my junk journals instead of regular notebooks
I'm thinking about just cutting off the strip with the date on it, to make room for a pen loop within the cover... normally I put a pen loop to stick the pen in on top of the book, but if it could be placed actually IN the book... anybody think this could work? 🤔
Hhhmm, it's worth trying!
Amen.❤.
Enjoyed your video. When you use the bic velocity 1.6 pen in the moleskine do you get ink blobs on the other side of paper?
Thank you for watching. No, I do not experience the blob with the Velocity 1.6 like I do with the Bic Cristal 1.6.
@SeaweedKisses OK thank you. Maybe will try a fresh set of velocity pens. Thank you
Price bata dijiye plss ?
Have you seen the paper Tess designs pocket daily???
Just scribble just posted a video
I did! Although I’m not a fan of 52gsm TMR paper, it’s tempting…❤
I just wish the milestone paper was better. It seems to be getting worse over the years for bleeding
It still surprises my that Moleskine still hasn't made any changes, especially after years of their customers complaining about it😔😔
A black book for $8 🖤📓 hehe
Such a great deal❤
I love my 18m daily. I need a page per day to keep track of everything. The 2024-25 planner has 608 pages listed so even better. Should have by tomorrow. Previously, they listed it as 592 pages. Can't wait to see why more pages.
Oh! Interesting ❤
I enjoyed your review very much. Can you consider to doing a non-fountain pen review? I am interested in that Serasa (sp?) because of the nice colour. But I am always interested in new pens for journalling in particular. I am not so interested in fountain pens as I don’t seem to get along with them very well. Everyone these days seems hooked on the Twsbi, but I bought one at the end of last year (cost around €80) and the ink seems to pool every time I use it for some reason. The nice thing about fountain pens though is that my handwriting improves enormously with them. Perhaps you have a favourite non-fountain pen for the same reason?
Yes, that's exactly what I show in this video at 12:50 - other non-fountain pens I enjoy. Besides BIC 1.6 Ballpoint, I enjoy the Pilot Acro as well.
I used to love Moleskines back in the day when they first came out, strong and durable, I wasn't into fountain pens back then but I remeber jotting something down with an old Parker I was gifted and it worked fine.
Nowadays, I had to ditch them because I realized that they are simply not worth the money, the paper is just crappy in every possible way, for the price they are asking, there is MUCH BETTER on the market.
Yes, you are right. That's what inspired another video sharing favorite notebooks better than Moleskine here: th-cam.com/video/aZJJzng7ZZ0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aOeKJvAsEejqcOM2
Amen.❤.
Are the pocket sized notebooks moleskins as well? They look thicker.?)
Yes, they are. The thicker Moleskine pockets are the daily agenda, like these here: amzn.to/45ZDSfJ
7:50 its obvious there isnt sunday yet theres 2 times columns...some people want sunday on the left some people want it on the right they accomodated for both by leaving 2 times columns so you can use one as "sunday"
The 2024-2025 Moleskine (18 mo daily) has 608 pages.
I just ordered this morning! Thanks so much for posting😊
@user-yt7py5bq1k I too ordered my 18 mo diary yesterday.
Aw man. It's $24 now 😢
I saw😭
There's a hardcover version on sale for $9, if interested- amzn.to/3yb8GxQ
I used to like this brand. But their prices have gone from high to ridiculous.
I have been praying for years for Moleskine to come out with the yearly dated agenda in grid but up to today it only exists lined 😑
Moleskine could certainly take some notes from their customers 😂
I never knew the Bic 1.6 tip came in anything other than the Cristal! I love the broad tip, but the skinny barrel is uncomfortable for me.
Yes, give it a try❤❤
What is brand is your reading journal
It's a Leuchtturm. This is the specific one here: amzn.to/3XSa6HK
I go through these phases where I want a moleskin because the notebook is everything I want minus the paper.
I WANT THATಥ‿ಥ(个_个)...SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE CAN I GET IT!
If you get an Amazon product in a bag like that, it was a return. I know because I shop at a few of the Amazon returns/bin stores in my hometown and a lot of the products are bagged that way.
Good to know, thank you!
This video should be not longer than 5 minutes. 🙄
This is your fault!!!!! Just kidding. I put this in my cart and probably because they are selling a lot of them the price is now $27.
😅
Too be honest I was kind of disappointed to see this video. I bought a couple of these last week. But thanks to this video and it’s high view count, they raised the price from $8 to $11 to now $20. I knew that was gonna happen.
So unfortunate they raised the price 😔😔But good thing you were able to grab a few
@@SeaweedKisses Yeah I wanted to get two more but it is what it is. 😞 At least some were able to get a deal out of this. Still a good video though.
