Monday Moods: Life Lately~~ Books and Tea and Journals and Planner Pages.

 Hello Loves! 

Another new week and another Monday. Something about January feels soo long. Not bad necessarily just long. 

Here are some moments from life lately. 


Journaling makes me so happy and alll this month I've set up new journals and written and decorated my little heart out. 

This right here is my Gratitude Journal being set up. 


This is the cover of my Gratitude Journal. 

Embroidered lavender blooms.

This guy took over a month to get to me, so I am only getting to setting it up and using it now. 

I have been making little notes of all things I am grateful for in my other journals and planners and at some point this week I'll sit and make the entries here. My aim with this journal is to not make it a daily task. It would get too overwhelming and I know I'd eventually slack off. So this will mostly be a weekly or even once in two weeks sort of situation. 



My planner pages this week. 
Mostly clean and simple with ample room to write things down. 


I am really happy with my planner this year. I love the layout and I am using each and every element, something I didn't do last year but I am determined to use it to it's full capacity. 


The stickers used are ones that came with the planner and some random ones from my stash. 



What my planning nights look like.

A plethora of stickers and a happy little mess. 



Life has also been full of books and tea and moments of calm. 
This is what I am currently reading: A Married Woman by Manju Kapur. I am quite enjoying this and am hoping to watch the web series based on it once I finish reading it. 


Books & Tea. 

A match made in heaven. 

:) 

Hope life has been treating you well.

Some snippets of the stunning art inside the book!  Book: The Room on the Roof Author: Ruskin Bond Illustrator: Ahlawat Gunjan Pages: 171 Read On: Hardback How Long It Took Me To Read: 3 days or so. Plot Summary:   Rusty, a sixteen-year-old Anglo-Indian boy, is orphaned and has to live with his English guardian in the claustrophobic European part in Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends. Plunging for the first time into the dream-bright world of the bazaar, Hindu festivals and other aspects of Indian life, Rusty is enchanted … and is lost forever to the prim proprieties of the European community.  General Thoughts: This book is super special. Not only this 60th anniversary edition an absolute beauty. This is also a signed copy I picked up from Mussoorie when I was in Landour earlier in the year. This is perhaps one of Ruskin Bond's mo...
