I have to say if you are a beginner or using a minimalistic style journal the Leuchtturm 1917 notebook is perfect! This is the notebook I started with and now that I’m doing more creative stuff in my journal I’m love my Archer and Olive notebook for that 🥰🥰 Really depends on what you need!
I loved using the Edition 2 notebook more then I had expected! I covered up the preprinted headings at the beginning with washi and labels so I could use all pages as I wished to. The paper quality is really good and I’m loving the mid page markings, soooo helpful! I’ll be buying a new one for my next work bujo, but for my personal bujo I think I prefer thicker and whiter pages.
I'm using the notebook at the moment and am quite happy with it! I don't really like 160gsm paper and was quite surprised about the quality of the 120 gsm. I'd love it to be more on the white side but given the choice between thickness and colour I'd always opt for 120 gsm over whiteness (is that an English word?🤔) I also have the 120gsm LT1917 - non Bullet Journal Edition already sitting on my desk, so I guess I will try this from June onwards. Thumbs up for the notebook from me😊 And: Well done, Jess, on the pronounciation of "Denken mit der Hand"! It appears that "Leuchtturm" is one of the very hard words for non- native German speakers, so don't worry, we all know what you're talking about!😉
I‘m also currently in the LT BuJo 2 edition and will switch to the non-BuJo version in September. 😂 Bujo-Twins. Think I will miss the extra Dots marking the halfes and thirds. But the BuJo version was just not available in the shop I went a few weeks ago 🤷🏼♀️ Yes, I‘ve noticed that Leuchtturm is hard to pronounce Greeting from a German-speaking 😂
@@sarahisabella1745 Hi BuJo-twin😊🙋♀️ I guess I'll be missing the dots as well, but at least as it's only going to last for 6 months anyways, I guess I will be able to cope... And if I miss them too much I will probably switch back to Edition 2 again afterwards!
Thanks for this review 💜 This may actually be useful for me in the future, as I've learned that a little bit of pre-existing structure helps me enormously. That little companion guide was so nifty, definitely my favourite part!
For ever I prefered off-white paper (and colored paper even), but this year I got myself an A&O notebook whit the bright white, I now I can't go back, I love how the colors shine with it
This was a super helpful review, please keep reviewing notebooks, its super helpful. I really like the extra dots on the half and third points in each page. I wish more notebooks would add that.
I’ve actually been working in this edition so far this year. I’ve been enjoying it, for my needs. Finally loving the spacing gap around the edge of the pages after hating that wide white space. It took me cutting tabs into that white space to get there, though.
I love Leuchtturm notebooks. 120gsm paper is my happy place. 80 was manageable but I’m happy that 120 is part of their new collection now. Cream paper is great for journaling outside, which I do quite often. These notebooks are available in almost every stationery store (in Netherlands) and are sold for cheaper than online. I was surprised to find also Bullet Journal edition 2 in my local store for the same price as any other Leuchtturm notebook. I bough both version - black and pink. I’m mostly using bullet journal method as it was intended so pre printed key or headers are not an issue. Also love your channel. I heard your name like 100 times across stationery universe and somehow subscribed just couple days ago 😵💫
My first fime bullet journaling and picked this one up to get me started. Got the blue one loving it so far! Im 1 week in and look forward to the months to come! Love your channel!
Putting a pad of sticky notes (unused) or sticky notes that you wrote somewhere else (some other time) and migrated that info into your bullet journal. And then you could archive the used post it note in the back. I also tend to put sensitive info on a post it in the pocket and shred it later when that info changes or isn't needed anymore.
That makes sense! I typically don't store bulk notes in my journal, just maybe 1-3 stuck onto the inside over 🤔 the back pocket I more-so use for papers and notes that aren't sticky 😝💜
take it from a native-german speaker, your LT pronunciation is excellent 😎 first time I treated myself to the original (blue) BuJo this year, edition 1 however, and I do miss the pen loop of my previous books! note: due to the ghosting in my edition 1 I had to stop using highlighters and stamps, which makes it more minimal. which I like, but after this review i'd definitely look into getting the edition 2 next time 👍
Good job with the German pronunciation, Jess! I love the quality of the Leuchtturm notebooks and prefer 120 gsm to 160 gsm. The blush version is a beautiful unobtrusive pale pink. For everybody who doesn´t like the premade key etc.: They have a plain 120 gsm version (203 pages, 2-page-index). This version has 26x36 boxes which I prefer because I like to do double-page spreads. So I do not really like that the official Bujo Edition 2 does have wider margins left and right with 24x36 boxes.
The key in the front of the journal is probably printed, my LT1917 had it printed and as your pen test shows, there is consistent ghosting. Thank you for your honest review. 💜🦋💜
Most welcome! And good to know it as printed in; I was surprised by that! Probably just because the printing of the key items were so black compared to the rest of the pre-printed stuff 🤔
Leuchtturm is pronounced like Oyster = eu, I can’t explain the ch though 😅😂 I had a previous generation of the LT bullet journal, the first thing I was annoyed by were the pre-printed bullets and too many pages for future log etc. The new version looks quite fancy though, with all that gold ✨ I now use mostly nuuna notebooks
Yeah I never got the original version, but I prefer my notebooks without any pre-printed pages (outside of maaaaybe an index or key, so long as they don't take up too much space). In particular I just like putting in my own headers, haha 😝 The pronunciation tip helps, thanks!
The notebook looks stylish. The key being filled out would annoy the absolute crap out of me. I dont use the actual bullet journal method so the beginning pages wouldn't be overly helpful for me but I can see their usefulness if others. The companion booklet would be fantastic for someone just starting out Im heavy handed with pen and markers but the limited ghosting/shadowing wouldn't be too bad I think even for me
Hello! I just subscribed to your channel and I love it already! Can you please tell me where all those beautiful journals in the background come from? I love them so much 🤩
Hey Jashii! I love your thoroughness. Could you or anyone reading this tell me where to get a good acid free 160 gsm bullet journal from? I've looked at a good number of 160 and 180 gsm Bujos online and very few of them mention acid free. Because I'm making a list and memory keeping journal I need to not have the pages go yellow after 10 years y'know? Thank you so much to anyone who can help me out!
The Vivid Scribbles notebooks are listed as being acid-free, but I've not used them myself so can't say a lot outside of what's on their listing 😝 hope that helps! This is their notebook on Amazon: amzn.to/3MPtlvh
@@JashiiCorrin Thanks so much for the speedy reply! This is a lot cheaper than the other one I found just before you replied so thanks :) Edit: Actually decided to fork out the extra for the more expensive one. I liked the cover better!
@@JashiiCorrin It is definetly understable and that's what counts for communication! "Denken mit der Hand" was really good though! (And if a German talks negatively about your pronunciation ever again make them say "squirrel"! I promise, we can't.)

take it from a native-german speaker, your LT pronunciation is excellent 😎

just to make sure I understand, the Luechtturm brand has 120 gsm notebooks outside of the BuJo edition?
Thanks for another great video Jess, was super suprised how little ghosting there was. Jx
Same! I was actually really shocked, haha 😂😝
I have the same preferences as you Jess and it's such a pain to find sometimes lol
FWIW, Leuch = loysh most common pronunciation (although the Scottish ch pronunciation is also acceptable)
Turm - I’d say Storm comes closest
Thanks for the pointers! 💜💪
@@JashiiCorrin Kein Problem. Es ist supereinfach. 😉

Actually the pronunciation of "Denken mit der Hand" was pretty accurate. Well done :D
I bought it and ironically I'm only journaling not bujo in it. My bujo is in my filofax lol. The journal works with fountian pens fyi.
Good to hear! As someone who doesn't own a fountain pen, couldn't test that one 😝💜
