🕯️October 2023 Bullet Journal Plan With Me ✍🏼 dark academia scrapbook style 📜

Today I'm setting up my October spreads in my bullet journal, with a theme inspired by my recent dark academia reading vlog (and my reading journal's scrapbook layered style)! I wanted something a little dark and spooky yet warm and vintage. I hope you like it 🤎

🍂FAQs
What does your channel name mean? I picked "Plant Based Bride" for my blog when I started it back in 2015 as I was starting the process of planning my vegan wedding and wanted to document it. I have been vegan for 8+ years and married since 2016!
What's your real name? Elizabeth
Where are you from? I'm a Canadian from Toronto, Ontario.
Are you a natural redhead? No, I'm naturally a brunette. I dye my hair using Herbatint 8R.
Are your nails natural? Nope, they're press ons and I do them myself (see how in this tik tok: www.tiktok.com/@plantbasedbri... )
What nail polish are you wearing? It's Sandcastle from Quo!

Shakespeare also decided that "terror during October journal setup" was necessary by also getting too friendly with a candle then trying to eat sticker bits and sticking his tail to the glue tape. that said, awww, Hi Chewie!

[@PlantBasedBride]

Haha is your cat my cat? I also had to stop to Chewy from trying to eat random pieces of paper and had to pull a tiny piece of washi tape off his long fluffy tail fur about an hour later when I noticed it 😂

[@curiosity5877]

i didn’t understand at first that Shakespeare was the name of your cat and got super confused ahaha 😆

[@katendress6142]

There is a reason I don't use real candles and her name is Princess.

[@PlantBasedBride]

putting the dark in dark academia 📜🕯🍄🎃🍂 as a big fan of your reading journal style, i LOVE seeing it cross over into your bullet journal! looks amazing 🤎

[@PlantBasedBride]

Aw thank you! I really enjoy it, too. There’s something so calming about making spreads this way 🥰

[@plantwithroos]

Same!! This is my favourite way to create so I love seeing it more ❤

[@daniellemarics]

Love the different tones and colours overlapping for your weekly spread. I cannot pick only one emoji for the month of October. I wait all year for this month, haha 🦇🎃🕸️🕷️👻

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you! Haha I know what you mean 😂🤎

[@elizabethprzybylski9486]

❤

[@amandapelland]

I love the layering look. I got a hold of huge packs of vintage scrapbook decorative paper/images for my bullet journal. Can't wait to use it! Thank you for this video, beautiful spread! 🎃

[@PlantBasedBride]

I did a big haul of scrapbook paper for my reading journal but I keep borrowing from that stack for my regular bullet journal 😅

[@reenarae3083]

i love the color of your nails! it's actually the color theme of my October spreads 🤎🏚️

[@PlantBasedBride]

Oo nice! That sounds pretty 🤎

[@elkahmae1283]

Your cat is such a pretty boy! I love cats and they seem to add to coziness and peace being such a calming animal.

[@cheriecoffee336]

Very creative and dark to go with the beauty and darkness that comes with October 🎃

[@knittinghands23]

Thank you for sharing your idea. 🕯🍲🏈🥧🫖 The icon I do not have is a fireplace with a blaming fire and a big overstuffed chair with my knitting 💚💚💚

[@musicgal1961]

Love this look! I haven’t used my tea stained papers yet. Maybe November…🍁🍂🍁🍂

[@lifestylecounter]

Not a big fun of full-on, Halloween themed spreads for October - so, I totally loved your "loosely-reminiscent-of" one 🤟🏻 Great autumnal colours and choice of patterns too, as always! Thanks for sharing. Hope you have an amazing month ahead!!! 👻👻👻

[@amandapelland]

I agree! I'm real tired of specific seasonal spreads for my bullet journal like halloween, christmas, easter images...etc. I thoroughly enjoy PBB October dark academia layering theme with the tones and colours.

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you so much! I’ve tended to stay away from more “obvious” holiday themes over the years. I know many people of them, and that’s awesome, but they’re not really my thing 😅❤️

[@goddess_eve21]

Love it! 😍✨️🖤 My favorite was your cat making an appearance!

[@PlantBasedBride]

He always steals the show lol

[@dodogreen5180]

I love idea for weekly spreads. Wery balanced colours.😊🍂

[@rosarodriguez8984]

So so beautiful❤️❤️❤️❤️ love to see how by adding stickers and washi you create beautiful spreads. Very aesthetically pleasing. Thank you Elizabeth🙏🏻👌🏻

[@ariquesito4534]

I love the bats! 🌑

[@perevision]

Amazing spread! I decided to do a dark academia theme this month too - well, more like it started out light academia with painting statues, then I decided I wanted them to feel creepy and added dark backgrounds. Maybe one day I’ll do all the different “academia”s for each season. Your past few videos have really embraced this month’s aesthetic! Chewie adding his touch of fluffy darkness was just perfect too. Thanks for another lovely video 🚪🪔🎃🤎

[@JuniperPineJournals]

Gorgeous! Your layering is chef's kiss! 🍂🍁🍂🍵🫖

[@arielmillaud708]

This spread is so lovely! I really enjoyed watching you create this deisgn and with the perfect soundtrack! Such wonderfully spooky vibes. 🕷🐈‍⬛🎃🔮

[@PlantBasedBride]

Thank you so much! 🤎🕯️🌙

Spot on, I really like it! "🥳3️⃣0️⃣⚰️" - Although I love Samhain and Halloween, I'm turning 30 on Oct. 11th, so I had to pick these emojis :) The casket is for my "End of my twenties, death of my youth"-funeral themed birthday party of Friday the 13th ♡

[@ChantelleArts]

I love this aesthetic, its absolutely stunning❤

[@PlantBasedBride]

Glad you like it! ❤️❤️

October for me is more like 🪻🍓🍇⛅🏖️ But I'm in Australia so it hits different 🙈 my family doesn't do Halloween

[@PlantBasedBride]

Haha makes sense! I hope you’re having a lovely springtime 🥰

[@LanikaYule]

I have a similar October theme! I used the Notebook Therapy Light Academia washi tape, tea stained and craft paper, light brown mushroom stickers, and the mildliner neutral set for my October theme and my partner keeps calling it #Browntober to roast me 😂 🍂🥮☕️🕯

[@PlantBasedBride]

Lol I claim browntober wholeheartedly 😂 no shame!! 😂
