I feel like it's been a while since I've gushed about anything other writing implements aside from fountain pens, so I'm pretty stoked to share this week's Friday Fave!

The Zebra Sarasa Grand with the Sarasa Dry Black Gel Ink has been the unsung hero for a good portion of writing I do, whether it be directly in my bullet journal or for when I'm writing on any glossier surfaces.

Compared to the original Zebra Sarasa Gel Pens, the Zebra Sarasa Grand's pen body has a heavier, more "luxe" and sophisticated feel. Like the standard Zebra Sarasa Gel Pen, it has the nice spring-loaded clip, just in a metal finish. I believe the Zebra Sarasa Grand comes with a 0.7mm black gel refill, but can be easily swapped with other size-tip Sarasa refills just as I've done with the Sarasa Dry Black Gel Ink in 0.4mm. (You can check out some other easy ink refill swaps in this video - https://youtu.be/8tqsEuQXsr0)

​In general, I've been a fan of the Zebra Sarasa line and have featured the Vintage colors in my Friday Faves previously which you can read here. While the Zebra Sarasa Dry Gel Pen may not be as "flashy" or "fun" as those, I still think it's been a star in my pen collection. 

I was beyond elated to be able to partner up with Nya and Inside Then Out to bring you that video and giveaway. (And yes, there is still time to enter the giveaway to win (1) Better Every Day Journal for your self! You can read more about that here.) 

Just to clarify, this Friday Faves blog post is not sponsored. I simply like this journal a lot and feel compelled to say that if you're looking for a simple journaling routine, then this is certainly something to consider. (:

​Since I've posted my initial video about the Better Every Day Journal, I've missed 2-3 days of journaling, but this is still the most consistent I've been in a long time with my journaling routine and that is such a good feeling! I mentioned in my most recent Studio Vlog that I've been SO busy and it's been very challenging to fit in all the things that I want to do (and have to do) in a day. Thankfully, the Better Every Day Journal has made it possible for me to make time to journal in the mornings  with its daily prompts and ensuring that I start off my day on a good note. (:
