Is this gonna change my life? I think so!
For free?! What a treat, thank you sooo much!
I love the health and wellbeing journal, it is exactly what I want and need from a journal. Plenty of pages for day:day entries, a monthly view calendar and a notepad section. It also includes amazing helpful tips and advice for improving your mindfulness. With the purchase came free a build yourself notepad and a tote bag, both of which are fab! And the customer service in the shop was really good. We were made to feel welcome and she had a genuine interest in our visit to the shop and Leeds.
My second health and wellness journal. I love love love them! I like the daily structure to reflect on / plan my day. I like the focus on something I've done well / I am grateful for. Great little challenges and tips in it too!
The most beautiful journal. Use it when I want to reflect on the day. Maybe get something off my chest. It's so calming and love that it's undated so I don't have to complete each day. Beautiful quality of course.
Gorgeous high quality journal. Stunning colours and fabulous layout. Perfect for recording dreams or using for a mind dump before bed.
Amazing product that promotes mindfulness and reflection on the day! Truly amazing product.
Such a lovely product and was lovely to receive a hand written thank you from an old friend! Such a fabulous company and amazing products that I recommend daily.
Excellent product, bought this in store at Leeds. I had been considering different options for a little while and Jack was happy to talk me through them, ending up picking this on his recommendation as a good starter journal. I can’t wait to get properly stuck into it but I’m already impressed, from the design to the 5 Star customer service and gorgeous packaging I will almost certainly be back to try more products soon!
I came into the Leeds store with my partner a few weeks ago and was served by Jack and instantly knew I had to buy the budget planner. I’ve never found one so detailed as this and it’s brilliant as it’s finally made me save money. It’s kept me on the straight and narrow and I finally have savings as you can tell from the pictures.
Fantastic budget journal. Helped me face my spending flaws. Such a pleasure to complete.. Really helpful in seeing where your money goes, and where savings can be made. I'm proud to have started my saving journey. This journal is so motivating, I feel in control now.
Wanted to try journalling this year, and a wee journal for my thoughts before bed seemed a good place to start. I really love the size, feel, and layout of this little book. It feels really high quality, and the pages are a lovely quality that stand up to a lot of battering from my slightly splotchy old fountain pen. The space at the bottom of the pages for doodles or notes is really fun, too, and has been a good spot for keeping track of my energy levels. Love it!
What a gorgeous shop, from the Posi Vibes, heartwarming family story and beautiful stationery, this is a place you mustn’t miss! Using everything I bought to keep me and my daughter motivated… love it all, fab designs, great quality and can you believe the pens are refillable for just £1?! Amazing 🤩
Had previously bought a budget journal and couldn't resist ordering another journal in the sale this time being the health and wellness one. Love the content and the different challenges for the month also a big fan of the area explaining the chakras. Would recommend
I bought a Gratitude Journal for my mum lately. She lives on her own and has many creative post times but writing is very new to her. The journal is keeping her company and she looks forward to writing down happy thoughts and the good things in life that keep her going. It's a new focus with a huge benefit to her. The team listened and kindly added a hand written personal message to start mum on her journey! Thank you absolutely Fabulous Planning team! You're a great bunch. xXx
Looking forward to using this for helping manage my budget/money better for 2025. Already started the money challenges and really good detail love the journal
I received my journal from @fabulous.planning a couple of days ago and have been too busy to open it until today!!! It is such a beautiful gratitude journal and I am praying it will help me through the days of grief I am going through since the recent death of my dad and a very good friend within weeks of each other. I am hoping the acknowledgement of gratitude will keep my thought process positive, when life seems anything but at the moment😔 The packaging on the parcel is very good and protective of the special contents and the box and journal are amazing, very good quality and beautiful. The whole process of ordering is very easy and communication is perfect. The whole team are very personable and Auntie Abs & Mamma Fab are very responsive via social media. Thankyou team you really are all fabulous 😊♥️
Beautifully made. Really sleek design.
Beautifully made. Looks so sleek.
Everything I have received from Fabulous Planning is absolutely gorgeous and I am very much looking forward to using them soon. I would recommend them to everyone
This is the 3rd time I've bought the budget planner. It really does help you stay in control. Things are getting more expensive and this planner is super helpful. I highly recommend it.
Absolutely amazing! This journal is everything I need health and wellness wise, love the 30 day challenges!
Everything i have received from Fabulous Planning is absolutely gorgeous! The quality of everything is to a very high standard and the freebies are very well chosen and very much appreciated. I would recommend this company to anyone.
I have been looking for a journal like this for so long and I finally found it ! You can make it your own and help you with journal writing who like me have never got into it . Plus they have 30 day challenges ! Love love love 🥰 thank you so much x
Love it
It's actually a gift for someone
Ah the budget planner a hero in disguise, this one is my 4th and I honestly don't know where I would be without it, I'm still not always 100% but having the budget journal gives me clarity as to where the money has gone. Everyone should have one 😍
Absolutely beautiful journal bought as part of a larger order as you can see. I'm obsessed with the quality and style of fabulous Planning, I have a couple of doubles now which will be used as gifts. Amazing as always 😍
Sleep journal, Great for off loading thoughts and dreams
This will be my third H&W journal!! I just love the quality of the pages and the layout. It's super easy to set intentions at the start of each week, and the daily pages help keep me on track. I love how each day is split into 3 parts as well. The gratitude box at the bottom of each day is my favourite box!! It's taught me to express gratitude everyday, even on the bad days. Absolutely recommend ❤️
Great journal with great compartments for all types of health and wellness related activities to get me through this journey…
Gorgeous journal for keeping me well rested. S thing of beauty beside my bed for me to empty out my crazy thoughts, lists and worries
This is my second Budget journal, the last one got me into the habit of tracking and made me realise how much I spend so definitely need to keep on top of it.
Love my new health and wellbeing planner. I now feel organised and in control and able to show myself some self care. It's just the right level of organisation and love. Loving my freebies too !
Absolutely love these journals
I love my new sleep journal! Thank you so much! I started last week and it’s been a pleasure filling it out each night when my daughter is in bed. I use it more as a diary than a sleep journal but hey… it’s beautiful and very good quality. Thank you FP Family
My lovely collection from Fabulous planning so far. Everyone who knows me knows I’m Mrs Organised and I absolutely love stationary and bags! I bought the sleep journal when it was on offer and I’ve used it as more of a general journal (I’ll upload a separate video). I’ve recently got the undated daily journal too which has a fab layout. Video also to follow. I love my new bag and it fits so much in. Along with my enamel pins attached. Absolutely love! Oh and the washi tape, fab for decorating the journal x
This planner is insane, just like the other life journals. I am planning g to use this to follow journal prompts before bed each night. To help with my mental health journey. Quality is Incredible, just perfect for what I need.
Umm-ed+ahh-ed about purchasing one of these for months, but I finally caved+treated myself...it does not disappoint! The quality of the Sleep Journal is outstanding+it feels like a proper luxury item, I love it 🩵 I've had trouble sleeping for the past few weeks, I'm hoping that maybe I'll be able to notice a pattern by filling this Journal in each morning.
