Take note

March 12, 2010

When a girlfriend recently pulled a red Moleskine journal out of her handbag, I was practically salivating — so classic, chic and crisp. (Is it wrong to be so turned on by a notebook?)

“I gotta get me one of those,” I thought to myself.

I still need to get one, but what I have been using is Moleskine’s Wellness Journal from their new Passions collection ($21 each). There are six editions in all (besides Wellness, there’s Recipes, Wine, Books, Films and Music) with stickers, icons, ribbon place markers and the like, to keep you super organized.

Tabbed sections in Wellness includes Personal Goals, Exercise Log, Diet, General Health (track your herbs and supplements here, along with your body therapy appointments), Games/Sport and Inspirations. Games/Sport, (where you log in the date, event, participants and score) is less useful for me — but I figure I can use it as a running log when the Exercise section gets filled up.

And I love that if you need extra pages, you can print off free page templates to paste in or tuck into the notebook pocket. (also a way for you to test out the page formats before investing in a Passions notebook yourself).
