Review: This is literally my 92nd journal, and it's also my favorite - I journal A LOT, and I have tried a lot of different brands. I also love to be creative in my journal by using markers and paint and pens with juicy ink. Many of my journals have not held up well to that sort of love, but this one does a fantastic job. I love the beautiful, thick pages, and they're great for the paintings I like to do with my nature journaling (I use watercolor and the paper does warp a bit, but that doesn't bother me. And I do have to be careful not to put toooooo much water down, but it handles the water surprisingly well for not being watercolor paper. I haven't tried gouache, but I suspect it would do just fine.) The pens I use don't bleed or ghost through at all, and when I tested a sharpie just out of curiosity, it only created a tiny bit of ghosting. I also love the cover design, and having three bookmarks is so handy. I use one to mark the beginning of each month, one to mark my weekly schedule, and one to keep track of where I am on a daily basis. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that it has numbered, non-perforated pages. My one complaint is that I need another page or two in the lined index at the front. Otherwise, this journal is perfect. It comes in a beautiful box that would make it perfect for gifting, or save the box for storing stickers and other journaling supplies. Get this journal. You won't regret it.
Review: It Outshines All the Others!!!!! - I have my Celestial Journal in a leather cover from Sojourner. By only tucking the back in it allows me to enjoy the beautiful cover. I did have to cut the elastic band off but I left the pen holder on. I researched quite a few journals and even paid a vast sum of money for a well-known brand with Tomoe River paper. The ghosting was bad in that one, even with nothing but a fine-point pen. I wanted to use the Tombow watercolor brush pens and my fountain pens without any ghosting. The quality of this paper is amazing and there is no ghosting. If I get carried away with my watercolor pens and use water for blending, the pages can warp some but not enough that I consider it important, plus I feel like it gives the book a well-used, authentic look and feel. Also, most journals I have found with this high of a gsm don't have page numbers so that is a big plus. This one is unique also with having 3 ribbons that are actually long enough, which is a huge plus. The high quality of the cover and everything about this journal has impressed me. I have not had any binding issues but you need to remember what to do anytime you get a new book. Hold the book on its spine and fold down the cover on each side, running your hand along the spine to flatten the covers open. Then, taking a small section of pages on both sides, lay those down flat and run your hands along the binding, working your way until you reach the center of the book and it's open flat. That prepares the spine to fold open a little at a time so it doesn't break. I cannot recommend this journal enough and it outshines the higher priced ones by far. When I'm ready to get another one I'm not even bothering to shop around, I'm coming straight for another one of these. 🙂

## Features

- THICK 160GSM NO-BLEED PAPER: Ultra-thick, bright-white 160gsm pages stay clean and crisp with gel pens, brush markers, fineliners and highlighters, with no bleed, no ghosting and no feathering. Far thicker than the 90 to 120gsm most journals use, so you can write and doodle on both sides of every page.
- COMPLETE SET IN A LUXURY GIFT BOX: 200 numbered dot-grid pages, a pre-printed index, 3 ribbon bookmarks, a pen loop, an expandable back pocket and a sticker sheet, all in a keepsake gift box. A thoughtful, ready-to-give present for anyone who loves to journal, or a treat for yourself.
- LIES FLAT AND BUILT TO LAST: True 180 degree binding opens completely flat so you can write across both pages, and the rock-solid hardcover with elastic closure survives daily life at your desk or in your bag. Reviewers say theirs held up beautifully all year.
- FLEXIBLE 5MM DOT GRID: Perfect for dotted journaling, note-taking, habit and mood tracking, to-do lists, goal-setting and creative spreads. Numbered pages and a pre-printed index make it easy to start and stay organised, whether it is your first journal or you have filled dozens.
- HAND-ILLUSTRATED, GIFT-WORTHY DESIGNS: Choose from a range of beautiful gold-foil covers (A5, 5.8 x 8.3 in). A giftable journal for her: mom, sister, best friend or daughter, ideal for a birthday, Christmas or Mother's Day. Made with 100% vegan materials on forest-friendly paper, backed by our satisfaction promise.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this journal!
*by E***H on February 18, 2026*

I wanted to try bullet journaling this year, so I purchased this notebook. I love it! It includes 3 index pages, 2 pen test pages in the back, front and back cover pages, 200 dotted pages, and a pocket on the inside of the back cover. I’ve been using this now for 2 months- the cover is showing a little wear and tear but that’s to be expected- I expect this will be beat up by the end of the year! The pages are thick and do not bleed through for my micron pen, gel pens, acrylic markers, and midliner highlighters. Fine tip sharpie does bleed through a little. And alcohol markers bleed through, but I have not yet found any paper that my alcohol markers don’t bleed thru. I will probably buy this notebook again next year, because I haven’t seen any other notebook that can meet my journaling needs like this one does! And the price is so much better than many other journals out there!
