Journal Girly: chelsjournals 🌸🫶

Hi! I’m Chels! I created this account to document my junk journaling journey, share tips and ideas for journal spreads. Things I journal about: me, my trips, my bf, my friends, etc! I started this hobby only recently but I’ve become so passionate and learned so much about myself. I’ve unlocked a creativity I didn’t know that I had. Started weekly journal dates with friends and I could not be more stoked. I cannot wait to share more of this journey with everyone ❤️ #fyp #junkjournal #creatorsearchinsights #junkjournalcommunity #junkjournaling

... Read moreJunk journaling has become a delightful way for many to express creativity while documenting life’s journey. This artistic hobby allows individuals to combine various materials like photographs, tickets, and mementos, creating a personal scrapbook of experiences. Whether you are interested in journaling about travel, friendships, or personal growth, incorporating different themes can make your journal unique. One popular approach is to create themed spreads that represent specific experiences, as seen in my latest pages dedicated to my 2022 Europe trip. Collaborating with friends during weekly journal dates not only enhances creativity but also deepens connections as you share and inspire each other. Many find that junk journaling serves not just as a creative outlet but also as a form of mindfulness, helping to process feelings and memories. To get started, gather materials that resonate with you - consider old magazines, fabric swatches, and other embellishments. Utilize hashtags like #junkjournal and #junkjournaling to connect with a community of fellow enthusiasts eager to share tips, tutorials, and inspiration.

How I break in new journals!
I’m a journal girl! Writing things out and using paper journals is something I love to do and this is how I do it right before I actually start using them! Every journal I start has a different purpose and feel so I try to encompass that! Do you journal? What are wellness hobbies you take on?
