Review on MALEDEN Embossed Refillable Travel Journal With Daily Spiral Notebook For Diary Writing by Kyle Rose

NOTE: This journal does NOT come with lined paper! The lined paper pictured above was bought separately, but from the same company.—I bought this journal near the beginning of this year (2022) and it’s held up well. While I have not used it an immense amount, I have yet to find any durability faults at this time. It’s an incredibly cute and aesthetically pleasing (for me at least) looking journal with a very neutral design. As mentioned above, this journal did not come with lined paper, but with blank paper. This company, however offers packages of lined paper separately, as well as refill packages of the blank sheets. There’s nothing wrong with the blank sheets, I personally just swapped them out because I intended to use the journal for writing and I’m a very messy writer without guiding lines. I personally like the fact that you can swap out the paper as well as the binder clip style of it. It makes it easy to move around and swap out sheets as needed. The reason I haven’t used it a ton isn’t because of anything wrong with it, but because I bought as more of a side journal than a daily one, so I only write in it when I feel I need to.If I were to have any complaint, it’d be about the charms. Specifically, the anchor charm. While the helm charm is nice for keeping the binds wrapped around the journal, the anchor charm is always getting hooked and stuck on things. It’s more of a minor annoyance, but still an annoyance nonetheless. That being said, while I haven’t tried myself, the charms look like they could be easily removed if you wanted them to be. So, if the anchor is too much of an annoyance, it can more than likely be removed and potentially even replaced if desired.Overall, a nice little journal.
