review: daycraft signature duo

Daycraft are a brand I really like and this time, I have the Signature Duo notebook to show you. I'll let the pictures do the talking for the first half of this post and then I will show you how I've been using it.

The concept of this notebook is that half of the brain is scientific/logical whereas the other half is creative. This means that half of the notebook is lined whereas the other half has dotted paper.

The front of this notebook is a teal colour:

And the back is orange:

The teal portion is lined:

And the orange portion is dotted:

And when you look at it from the top, it will make more sense (the teal portion has orange-edged pages whereas the orange portion has teal-edged pages):

I've managed to incorporate this notebook into my studies by using the lined bit for the notes I take each week:

And the dotted pages for mind-maps and other anatomy drawings:

This is in the hope that when it comes to exam time, I will have a brief set of notes I can refer to. They aren't designed to be revision notes as they are meant to be an overview to which I can look at to make sure that I have revised everything and not missed anything out.

Overall, I like the concept of this notebook as it can be used for anything. Although I've used it for my studies, I think it could also work well as a journal or diary.

Thank you, Shadow from Daycraft, for sending me this sample to review :)

NB: Although I was sent this notebook as a sample, I have reviewed it as honestly as I would have done if I had paid for it.

my { birthday } week #80

So... this was the week where I started off being 22 years old and ended it being 23 years old. Not quite sure how I feel about this but I guess this means I need to be a bit more mature and wiser! I did this in fitting style by having a caterpillar cake for my birthday and my excuse for this was because 1) I'm the youngest one out of my university friends and 2) I can have a more 'mature' cake next year! 

Anyway, overall, my week was pretty good. I caught up on a load of notes that needed writing up and revised some anatomy I'm a bit hazy on. And one more thing I did catch up on was sleep - thanks to the clocks going back an hour in the early hours of Sunday. Remind me to try and avoid working the night shift on the night when British Summer Time ends ;)

How was your week?
