150 Followers Giveaway!

Over the past couple of weeks I hit a mini-milestone with my little blog. I actually wanted to do a 100 followers giveaway, but I reached that while I was travelling, which made things a little bit tricky! Last week, however, I reached 150 followers both on GFC and over on Bloglovin, and that'a pretty big deal for me, considering when I first started my blog I had about 4 followers for months and months! It means the world to me that people are reading my posts, so I wanted to give something back!

If you know me, you'll know I can't resist a pretty notebook or journal, but this one in particular is special. I first saw the Listography books in Urban Outfitters ages ago, and then saw them appear on various blogs, and my favourite is the 'My Future Listography'. The concept is simple - make out lists of things you hope to achieve/see/do in your lifetime, and listography helps by giving you a whole book full of categories to get planning for! From tv series to watch, to ways to be more environmentally friendly, and even people you hope never to lose touch with, this is certainly a journal that gets you thinking!

So, with that in mind, I'm giving away a copy of this journal to one lucky follower to celebrate this little landmark. The winner will be picked from both my GFC followers AND bloglovin followers, so for a sneaky extra entry be sure to follow on both! I just want to thank everyone who has been reading and commenting on my blog over the past few months, I'm so grateful for each and every one of you!

There are a few ways to enter! First of all, make sure you're folling me either on GFC (over in the sidebar there!) or on Bloglovin (the link to that is below!). Then, if you fancy it, for an extra entry you can leave me a comment in the comments section letting me know you'd like to win, and which sort of category in the book you think you'd be drawn to first, and even tweet about the giveaway or like my facebook page if you have the time! All info is linked below :) The giveaway closes exactly 4weeks from now - the 29th July 2013, at mindnight!

Good luck everyone and thanks so much again for sticking with me and reading my ramblings :)

Your Very Own Time Capsule

Less than a week ago I was checking out some new blogs following the #lbloggers chat on twitter, and having chatted to the lovely Cat from Cat's Chronology I hopped over to her blog to have a wee read - and I stumbled upon a post which seriously caught my eye!

She had reviewed an amazing little 5 Year Journal (I'll link the post here!) and I thought it was such a lovely little thing that I decided I wanted one too! So I immediately popped over to Amazon and ordered one.

The Q&A a Day 5-Year Journal from Potter Style is a cute, vintagey looking little journal which aims to 'help you make a time capsule of the next five years of your life in the simplest way possible.' It asks a question a day, with enough room to write a concise answer (excellent for someone like me who tends to ramble!) and has five slots per page, each with ''20__'' at the side to allow you to fill in the year for yourself.

The questions range from really general day to day questions like 'What was the first thing you ate today?', to much deeper questions like 'If you could go back in time and change something, what would you change?'.

For people who love to keep diaries and journals I think this is such a nice idea. It could be a nice little add on to a much bigger journal for some people, or for the lazier among us it's a fun way to keep motivated as you only have to answer one question a day - much easier to keep up than a daily update in a traditional diary.

My birthday and it's a question about pizza - could there be a more apt question for me?!

The Q&A a Day 5 Year Journal is available from Amazon (here) and I got mine for just £7.42 with free delivery. Annoyingly it's out of stock at the moment, but hopefully it will be back in soon. There are a couple of other lovely little journals in this range too, so be sure to check those out if this is the kind of thing that interests you!

Do you manage to keep a regular journal? Let me know in the comments below :)
