we're NOT going to talk about the fact that I totally forgot to include sakura micron pens on this list because that would be too embarrassing for me lol — there's a link in the description to them! 😂

also, BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE if you haven't already because I've got a digital note-taking video coming out soon and more stationery content dropping ⭐

I find that the Crayola Supertips actually smear and bleed LESS than the Mildliners, so I would recommend just get a big pack of Supertips. Especially in the back-to-school sales. More colors, better performance and more versatility (highlight, color, draw, lettering).

Me & my budget are having quite the argument now over stationary 😂

„If you need a circle on the go“ - one of the many sentences only stationary addicts will understand 😂😂😂

Ended up splurging on the archer and olive journal. It's visually lovely and the no-bleed pages are nice, but they really had me at the fact that it lays flat when open. That is a complete must for any journal for me.

I have that see through grid ruler. It is amazing. I cut it down to fit my small journal a year ago then this year when I started using a bigger bullet journal I realized that the rest of the ruler fits it perfectly!

My #1 item is the Pentel Energel pen in .3mm. I bought the alloy pens that way I just buy refills now. The next item I use the most are Pigma Microns especially the 01 size. These are great for drawing and thin lettering styles. However, when I want a slightly thicker line I use the Sharpie pen or the Bic Intensity marker, since those are cheaper and still look/work great.

The Pentel RSVP are my favorite quick note pen. I used them nearly exclusively for first notes through all of my under grad and masters program.

I wouldn’t call myself a stationary queen, but I do have a holy grail pen. It’s the Pilot G-2 pens. They’re so smooth and nice to write with and they also look really good on paper. The only thing is that they do smudge, especially if you go over them with highlighter. But since I’m normally writing notes with them and don’t really use highlighters, it doesn’t matter too much.

I just got the news that my uni won't be opening for the fall semester (Denmark). This video cheered me up a bit, cause at least I can have pretty notes and nice stationary - Thank you Caitlin ❤️

I love that you always have budget friendly options, and emphasize using what you have first! It's nice to see, and not super common on youtube.

Sticky notes are the best....not only can they save you a lot of trouble but they also add pop to any plain table or notebook...I use these in my notes. Makes revision time easier.

I just started school again and I decided to take my notes in a way that makes me happy.
I absolutely love the stabilo fine liners, fine tip markers (pen 89) and swing cool markers! I write almost everything with the black fine liner and I found out that they even have erasable stabilo fine liners (black, red, green and blue).
Stabilo is such a good brand and they aren't even that expensive. I also really like the design of thier supplies!

[honeypotfilms]

is it just me or do all the markers lined up perfectly seem really satisfying??

Ugh, watching your videos always makes me want to go all out in my note taking. When classes start back up I’m sure I’m going to be bingeing all of your study type content. Love your stuff 💜💜

[Insightology]

I don't usually watch this type of video, but I actually really value your content and find you really real and relatable...x
