Magnificent Monday: Notebooks!

I've been thinking about doing the Magnificent Monday series, except I know, it's a terrible name. I'll come up with something better, hopefully. If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave it in the comments below! So, anyways, this week's Magnificent Monday are..... Notebooks! I know what you're thinking, "Seriously, notebooks? How exciting can that be?" But, maybe not this one. Yesterday, I went to Target, because it is the best place in the world(DUH.), and I was just looking at some "back to school" stuffs, since I only have two weeks of break. I still can't believe my school starts in August - early August. Despite the fact that I have to go to school in two weeks, guess what I ran into, these two notebooks!

Both of these are from Knock Knock, and I'm not exactly sure if these are the only two notebooks from their series, but these were the ones I found at target! I was actually in a big rush when I was getting these, so there could have been more. For more information, just check their site:

Matches my nail color :) 

The purple one is  the I CAN'T SLEEP notebook, "a journal for passing the time when insomnia strikes", and this is just perfect when you can't fall asleep. And because I often cannot sleep easily at night, because I have a lot on my mind, or I'm just not too tired, this is a great way to kick off time before finally closing your eyes. There are quotes on the left from C.S. Lewis, Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo, and many other infamous people, and on the right is where you can write about why you can't sleep tonight. I actually filled on one out last night, and it's almost like a diary. And I mostly just write about my worries, and what's on my mind. I found it really helpful for me to organize my thoughts before going to bed, especially because I'm a stress thinker, and it 

clears your mind, and prepares you for deep, relaxed sleep. 

Don't you just love the design of this notebook?

The orange one is MY PET PEEVES notebook, "a journal for nitpicking the endlessly irritating panoply of infractions ". Can I just say, how stress-relieving this book is. This is exactly what I needed. Just like the book says, life sure can be annoying, and how do relieve it? I normally don't. Maybe I'll bang my head in the wall, but that is just too painful, for both me and the wall. My point is, this is all you need. Just like the purple book, this one also has a quote from various people on the left page, and on the right is where you can write why you are peeved today. One of my favorite quote from this book is by Ellen DeGeneres, god I love her, but her quote is hilarious. Listen to this, "Golden Delicious apples. Where do they get off naming their apples that? That's a little immodest, isn't it? What if I called myself "Incredibly Attractive Ellen?" 

Here's more shots of the inside of the notebook: 

Hope you don't mind my terrible skills of taking pictures...

Each book costs $10, and on my standards, I normally don't spend $10 for a notebook, I would just get something around $2 or $3, but I say it's pretty worth it. It's fun, and it's something I have't seen before. And what I love the most about it is you don't feel pressured writing them. Diaries are the hardest things to keep up. I would miss writing it for months, and then I would write it for a few days, and it'll be lost again. But these, you write because you want to write. Trust me, this is a must in your stressful, demanding life. And even if it isn't - even if you are having the best time of your life, a little book couldn't hurt you. Besides, even if you are having the best time of your life, something always gets in the way. I've been there.

P.S. I realized no one has ever, ever called me Abigail. But then again, who would want to go through the pain of saying three syllables?
