What do Rookie Magazine founder Tavi Gevinson and pop powerhouse Selena Gomez have in common. Apart from both knowing a lot about fashion, each of these ladies keep a journal (or 80 in Tavi’s case). The power of journaling is by no means a new discovery though, as for centuries people have been putting ink to paper to unscramble their thoughts and find some sense of relief from everyday stresses. Whether you keep a daily diary or simply write whenever the need arises, journaling can be a powerful way to understand, declutter and soothe your mind. So, why not do it in style. Here are a few great journals to get you started.
For the Beginner – Wreck This Journal
If you have no idea where to start with journaling, Wreck This Journal is a great cult book that offers a guided introduction into the world of putting your thoughts down on paper.

For the Professional – Moleskine
If you’ve got journaling on lock (or if you’re a big shot office worker who likes to keep it monochromatic) Moleskine are the go-to for great quality journals and diaries. You can get ruled or unruled journals in a number of colours, and they are good enough quality that (bar losing them) you’ll have them around forever.
