Week 15: Illustrated journal

3 Nov 2025

📺 Finished season 5 of Only Murders in the Building.
🎨 Watched an inspiring video on illustrated journals by Danny Gregory (from Sketchbook Skool) and decided to give it a try. I've been very inconsistently doing bullet journals, morning pages and braindumps, a 5-year journal and a sketchbook. After watching his video, I realized an illustrated journal is probably going to serve me well in terms of fulfilling that creative itch, expressing my feelings better, and even helping me remember my days...
📚 Read Draw your Day by Samantha Dion Baker, super inspiring! Read on the ipad, but I'm thinking to get all drawing/sketching books on my wishlist on paper instead. I currently only buy huge photography books on paper, everything else is digital.
🍨 Had a great day with my mom in town. We had italian gelatto, lunch at a fancy restaurant, and some drinks in Russafa.
🍷 Went to Habitual again for their lunch menu. So good! The most affordable Michelin menu here in Valencia, I think.
🥘 Met my uncle, aunt and favorite cousin, here in Valencia! Vermut, água de Valencia, sight-seeing by night, and even a homemade paella. Loved every minute!
😍 Went to Madrid with my mom for a last day together in Spain, after 3 whole months. This morning she flew back to Brazil, and I took my train back to Valencia.
