Lamare Colorful Diary for Women – Kawaii Journal, Blank Page Notebook with Ribbon Bookmark, Cute Notebook, Dream Journal for Women

This makes a great gift to yourself or someone who enjoys putting pen to paper. The paper is white, not ivory and the journal is a great size for traveling.

The media could not be loaded. Pros:—beautiful and feminine—many interesting floral spreads without taking up all of the usable writing area—also interesting that there may be a spring through winter theme in the color and varieties of floral arrangements from the first pages to the last, but this is just a guess—ribbon bookmark in the binding—seems like a good value for current price of $14.99—doesn't bleed (using black Sharpie pen), although does have a slightly weird, almost slippery texture that I'm not used toCons:—quality control issue: tape residue and scratches on back cover inside packaging—average paper thickness and qualityFinal thoughts:I'm going to trade this in place of my current binder of floral printer paper that I use for note taking, since it's much more streamlined. I think it will be much easier to balance on my knee (no desks or tables available in my setting) than my large, clumsy binder.This also would be a good gift to inspire a girl or woman who is beginning journaling or has hopes of becoming an author and needs a place to jot down ideas. There were some quality control issues, but I think I would still consider getting it for someone as long as I could check the condition of it before giving it as a gift.

Great quality pages, love the size and the design

To put it frankly, I do not need any more journals. However, when they are this pretty I just have to see if it is as great as it looks in the listing. I got it in the mail today, and yes it looks just as good as it did in the listing if not more! The ony thing I would have liked to have in it is lines as without lines I tend to write on a 45 degree angle going upwards. I knew it didn't have lines, so I am not downgrading it for that. Over my lifetime, which is getting pretty long at this point, most of the time the only journal type book I could find was in office supplies at stores and they called it a journal to apparently keep track of the goings on in the office as they were sold right next to the accounting books. I always managed to find a red one as a pink one would have been way too much to hope for back when I got a journal for my trip to Colombia in 1976. Now here it is 2022 (almost 2023) and I have no exciting adventures to keep track of. But it is nice to know that I have a nice assortment of lovely journals to use as I want to. This PINK journal (my favorite color) will be in primary place to be using. It will be so nice to pull the ribbon bookmark to find my next page to write on and to see what lovely flowers I will find that day. I love little nice surprises like that, don't you?I appreciate the opportunity to use this journal. Thank you very much.

This is a great journal and I love the design.The actual colors are not as vibrant as they appear in the photos, but they are still very pretty. I think it would be even better if the cover didn't have any writing on it—it's distracting and takes away from the design. This is a great gift for anyone who loves to write or wants to start keeping a journal!

I love collecting notebooks and this is no exception. It has a decent coloring and is super light, a decent size and a good amount of pages. What more could you want?

The journal is pretty and the hardcover is very stylish. I am not too thrilled about the papers inside. It's pretty thin and I know when I use my fountain pen to write, it's going to bleed through. I wanted something that I can write on without having to worry about what writing mechanism I need to use.As pretty as it is and as many people have given such good review, I don't find it very appealing simply because I want better quality paper.

This is a well constructed, tightly bound journal with high quality paper.The flowers, which are different on every page, are lovely and delicate. The colors are soft. This is more of an artistic journal, maybe for gathering quotes or writing poetry, than for everyday cataloguing of thoughts and feelings.This would definitely make a beautiful and unique gift.
