Journaling is the ultimate in self-expression, so you’d think there’d be lots and lots of pretty journals out there for women—journals that would allow you to show off your personality a bit. But the journals out there that are nice looking are usually impossible to write in because they won’t lay flat when they’re opened. If and when you ever do find the holy grail of journals, heaven forbid you fill the thing, because good luck ever finding one like it again.

Journal makers don’t seem to understand that women like you have money to spend on a journal that is as functional as it is beautiful. They don’t seem to understand that there is a difference between a journal and an appointment book, but there is. And let me tell you, there’s a difference between any old journal and a Sheic Journal.
