café journaling

my fiancé and i went to our favorite little café over the weekend and did some journaling together. it was her first time journaling and my first time journaling in public.

it was nice to get out of the house for a bit while doing something that helped us to relax. my favorite thing about journaling in this café? being able to get my favorite drink, lavender apple cider 😌

do you keep a journal? what is your favorite thing to do in your journal? my favorite is sticking little mementos from the day/week on the pages to write the story of my day around it 📝

I keep a journal! I just do fangirl stuff in it like deocrating pics of idols with stickers and washi tapes. It's nice. 🥰
