In this August 2024 plan with me, I’m setting up my black page bullet journal with a cozy apothecary theme—think moody greens, little potion-y details, and that comforting, familiar palette I always end up crawling back to after I’ve been a little too chaotic with my themes. I’m working in my “Starry Night” journal from Scribbles That Matter, and I’m leaning into that dark-paper magic where white ink and soft earthy accents just pop in the prettiest way. I walk you through how I build out my monthly planning pages step-by-step, from the foundation of the layout to the decorative bits that make it feel like an herbalist’s desk. I also share the exact supplies I’m using—like my Sakura white gelly rolls for all the bright details, some dried leaves for texture, and month stickers to keep everything clean and easy to read. If you’ve been wanting to try a black page bujo theme but felt intimidated, this setup is meant to feel like a cozy entry point: simple shapes, a consistent color story, and lots of room to make it your own.
