The Notebook

SPOILER ALERT: THIS POST HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RACHEL MCADAMS- RYAN GOSLING ROMANCE
(I am sorry about this, truly sorry)

A MUJI store <3

After we went to NYC last spring, my mother and I returned to Colorado with a wonderful discovery. No, we hadn't stumbled upon the secret hideaway of Hugh Jackman or wandered into a top-secret government meeting--we'd done something far more exciting. Yes, we'd found the perfect notebook. In the airport, we stumbled upon a little stationary and writing supplies store called MUJI. MUJI is a Japanese stationary store with a handful of stores in NYC.
MUJI is such a gem of a brand for three key reasons; it is:

• useful
• cute
• cheap

These notebooks are unique; rather than upping the bulk and cost like other brands such as MEAD and FIVE STAR, MUJI opts for a minimal, compact size and shape to their notebooks. These light, sometimes recycled, and useful notebooks fit easily into a purse, backpack, or even glove compartment.
Plus, the pens, highlighters, and desk accessories have the ability to make any note-taking session approximately 1000X more enthralling (Advice to teachers: invest in these--they're well-worth your $$).
There's no better way to illustrate this point than by giving you the facts, so here's a mini-MUJI summary:
My favorite notebook "planner"....$1.50
Highlighter...........................$1.25
Benefit you get from having the perfect writing supplies? Priceless.
