Journaling Make Everything Better

I could not be more thrilled to bring you this review. Not only to remind you to keep on journaling but to introduce you to some of the most beautiful journals I have ever seen.

Journaling is such an important part of your health and fitness journey. I have said it time and time again, and will continue to say it, you MUST be journaling. Each one of us are creatures of habit and have certain patterns we follow in life. One that keeps coming to my attention, and makes me laugh when doing it, is toweling off after my shower. I do it the same way every day. I think I probably have for years. So what other simple things are we doing in life that is either a good habit or bad?

When trying to make healthy food choices we all mess up now and again. But if you had to write down all those mess-ups and admit to yourself every time you had that donut, would you still eat it? When looking back, you can see what caused you to go on a bad food binge or not exercise that day. Was it depression, stress, anger, or simple boredom? Did you have a great workout or not so much and why? All these things contribute to your weight loss and goals.

If your like me, I don't enjoy just writing it down on a spiral note pad with a boring pen. I love to have just the right journal. So if you love journals, and want the BEST, where do you go to get it? I have found just the place. Rogue Journals.com

I can't say I have ever seen anything quite like these. Each journal is handcrafted from fine leather. They are filled with 200 pages of the paper of your choice. These journals can be a little on the pricey side but it goes without saying, "you get what you pay for."

I received my journals and the smell of wonderful leather was overwhelming as I dug in to see how they really looked. Were they as great as the pictures shown on the web store? Yes, and even more delightful when in my hands. Although Rogue Journals.com does a great job with their site and showing you fantastic photos there is nothing like opening up the bubble wrap to see it for real.

One of the first journals that I chose to review was this Compact Pocket Journal. in chocolate. I believe you should always have a journal on your person. You never know when a great thought or idea may present itself. I carry it with me to track my food intake and workout for the day. This journal is available in three colors: Black, Chocolate, and Tan. As one of the most affordable journals to purchase, I suggest you all order one today. You won't be sorry. For only $19.95 this great journal can travel with you anywhere.

Rogue Journals offers several different papers to choose from. My Compact Journal is filled with pure sketch paper. This paper is thick and wonderful to write on. I love a good heavy pen, not a fan of the fine point. When writing in this journal it's almost like writing on a napkin. Your pen just sinks in and leaves a good impression. As did this journal on me. I love the wrap around tie as well. It's a great added feature to give it a fantastic rugged look.

The next journal I received was the Prayer Journal. (retails for $69.50) I love this one as well. It's more streamlined and has a look of being that favorite journal you have carried with you for years. A one inch leather cross medallion is first embossed, died, and then stitched into the journal. A pen holder keeps your journal closed, so you will never be without a pen during a really important sermon. This journal was filled with Violet Tamarind Leaf Paper. The inside of each journal is raw leather (suede) and feels incredible. The snaps holding the strap in place are securely set and sure to hold for years to come. While journaling thoughts are important I believe journaling prayer time and your favorite bible verses are very important as well.

My personal favorite is an ever so delicately handmade journal named the Patchwork Journal (retails for $99.50). Although my personal Patchwork Journal does not look exactly like the one shown here, I think that's why I like it so much. I know this journal was hand made just for me. My journal has a patch of red, tan, brown, suede blue, chocolate brown, and is unique in it's design and stitching. I will be using this for my personal feelings, life in general, and what is ever on my mind. Yet again, another paper graces the inside of this fabulous creation, the Parchment. It's unique on it's own as each page has a different look.

For those of us concerned about the environment, you will be surprised to hear how this paper was made. Rogue Journals selects this exclusively handmade Saa paper not only for it's texture and organic character, but also because no trees are harmed in the making. Known as mulberry bark paper, the bark is peeled from the tree and has no lasting effects. The fast growing tree will quickly re-grow the lost bark in one season and be ready to harvest again. Why don't they make all paper this way?

Each journal can also be embossed with your initials or that of someone you are purchasing the journal for as a gift. What a great added feature.
