What's In My Pencil Case?? ✏️(what stationery I bring when i'm travelling!)

[@elainakhan]

It’s like how someone has their “essentials bag”, Amanda has a “stationary bag”, and I’m all for it 😂👍🏼

[@x_cortana_x3963]

me too

[@bee0175]

haha

[@Mayagray10]

Awww I'm jealous who needs an essential bag when you love art

[@Mayagray10]

Haha

[@thepagefamily7730]

They do be her essentials

[@veeeronicah]

i love this. this is like the what’s in my makeup bag of a “bulletjournal guru” haha

[@honk8683]

I can relate! 😂 I travelled to Edmonton last month & this is how I talked to my stationary: "Now which of you little babies do i steal from your family"

[@amandarachlee]

LOL ME i felt bad taking them away from their home 😩

[@Mayagray10]

Lol this happens every time lately when I go on holiday

[@JournalingWithNadia]

THISS! My stationery is definitely my emotional support 😂 I bring them everywhere and everyone at work always looks at me like 🤔

[@amandarachlee]

they just don't understand us

[@fzzypurpleturtle]

This has absolutely happened to me. Once I sacrificed an entire kit of crayola dual tips when my boss was having a meeting with a vendor but the vendor had to bring his son with. And he was running all over and frustrating his dad. So I said “come over here and play with me” and we sat a table with stationary paper, washi tape, and the markers and he sat for the rest of the meeting. My boss was like “where did you even pull all that from”? 😂😂😂

[@bee0175]

It’s the essentials so..

[@beautybeeblossoms3410]

you should design a stationery bag!!! That would be so cool!!! Especially if it had different pockets for different thing and being able to attach pins to the outside!!!!

[@shahriasultana553]

2024:she made one ♡

[@chantal2067]

The fact that my pencil case contents are almost identical to yours is a true testament to what a foundational impact you've had on my bullet journal journey but also my artistic journey overall. You're wonderful. Thank you for everything you do.

[@cqndymlk]

can’t wait to see what’s in her pencil case ☺️💗 amanda literally has the entire stationery store by now haha

[@diekevandergugten]

I love the pentel energel needle tip 0.5 pen for daily writing! It's amazing: writes smoothly and no skipping at all

[@margotl9756]

My mother always brings a paperclip with her and it is always useful. We even got an engagement ring out of a wooden floor because of it :D

[@happymondayart]

My essentials would be: zebra mildliners papermate inkjoy gel pens a nice mechanical pencil tombow fudenosuke/pentel touch brush pen and if i was going for a longer time: more colors of brush pens ohuhu alcohol brush markers stabilo fineliners watercolor set a few sheets of marker and watercolor paper

[@onishojo9430]

OMG I HAVE THE INKJOYS

[@meenakshigireesh8617]

omg samee!! thank you for this list! I'll note this down!

[@happymondayart]

@@onishojo9430 I LOVE INKJOYS SO MUCH!!

[@happymondayart]

@@meenakshigireesh8617 yep ofc these are my favorite stationery!!

[@koalame775]

My favourite gel pen is definetely the Pentel Energel 0.5 needle tip, it's so smooth and the ink dries incredibly quickly! Although it's does skip one every now and then, I 100% recommend! Especially in the super adorable clena body! Thx for the new video 🖋

[@heathergleiser]

I’ve got a 0.3 needle tip and they’re great!

[@laindarko3591]

I was going to comment this too, it's also my favorite!

[@blindaurora]

0.4 tip here, no issues, no smearing, crisp and clear and pairs well with the zebra mild liners that I like so much. I live the needle tip! I put mine in a zebra pen body and it's perfect!

[@katie4623]

Amanda: you’re in a safe space. Anyone who watches your channel understands the love of stationery. No need to explain the excess.

[@kimberlyhenry7717]

Those scissors are embroidery scissors 😊 (avid cross stitcher here, and I have many pairs of those scissors). As someone else commented they were originally used by midwives for cutting umbilical cords, that's why they're stork shaped. My go to gel pens for writing the PaperMate InkJoy... because they come in a ton of colours and don't smear.

[@SitamGovekar]

Everything about Amanda is so aesthetic ✨

[@miaiuli1567]

Loved this video! For someone who is going back to school this really helped !💜💜 Edit: Thank u for 23 likes💜

[@mqzd24]

my favorite thin pen for writing in the pilot juice 0.38! definitely my absolute fav, i use it for everything

[@laibamoeen4628]

Paper mate inkjoy 100ST is mwah, chefs kiss. It's literally so smooth and never has it skipped once. It literally makes my handwriting better.

[@rebeccathompson153]

I love this video! I’m embarking on my BuJo journey, and this was super interesting. I’m a retired interior designer (so I love colors and patterns and textures), AND I’m ADHD, so I really love to accumulate stuff. This “travel” pack helps inform me as to limiting my supplies to what I actually need. At least for now 😉

[@MyJournalAddiction]

My all time favorite pen for writing all the entries in my bujo is pilot acroball 0.7 in black. Let me tell you - it is amazing! So if you ever run out of your Uniball definitely try this one ☺️ Btw you inspired me to start a bullet journalling 3 years ago and I loved your content since ❤️ You are such an inspiration ❤️❤️

[@aiizume]

my favorite gel pen is the pentel energel! it's soooo good, doesn't skip, glides through the page, affordable, i love it so much i bring it everywhere

[@coralinejones2721]

my favourite thin gel pens are the pentel energel 0.5mm- you can write in small spaces with them because of the needle tip and they’re quick drying so they’re good to use with highlighters. They also come in a lot of cute designs. Overall just an amazing pen tbh ✨ Btw lysm Amanda your videos are always amazing💜

[@shopgurlbkk]

Just discovered these and they are refillable too!! They write so nicely and super sharp. Had been using the Sarasa's but their refills are pricey.

[@hellokaity]

Came to reco this one as well. It's my ride or die pen.

[@coralinejones2721]

@A P yeah I also love the sarasas- again my favourite size to use is 0.5mm. My main issue with them though is that the ink takes a while to dry, which isn’t ideal because I’m left handed. That’s why I love my pentel energel lol

[@vaiganair1753]

I love how Amanda uses the white Sakura gelly roll ten pens and the archer and olive acrylograph paint pen like chopsticks in 7:15 . also love the strawberry nails i also feel i am always overpacking my stationary but its just happiness

[@aanshirajani1121]

The journal godess has the most appropriate pencil case. Btw you’re not the only one who carries paper clips to trips. Even I do that every single time Try zebra sarasa black pen. You get the thickness of 0.38 and also 0.5 which is great. It does take a bit to dry but if you want a quicker dry then zebra sarasa mark on. It is available in 0.4 and 0.5.

[@zahraonokevbagbe2725]

My stationary essentials are - agenda - lined notebook to write down lesson plans or other notes - a set of highlighters like the pilot friction or zebra mildliners - multiple black gel pens like a pilot 0.5 - a red or purple 0.5 gel pen - white out rollers - sticky notes - a ruler because I can’t draw straight lines like Amanda lol

[@AYODIFAMILY]

The light, the hair, the MAKEUP 🥺

[@hrudayabobde2371]

Man your not just the only one, even if I’m travelling for a day I travel with heck lot of stationary items stapler pins to paint tube it’s like ALL INNNN 😅😂

[@debbieocampo3795]

I also love the Uni-Ball Signo line. The RT1 UMN-155 comes in 0.28! Such small lettering!

[@alicharsmith9970]

I, too, take paperclips with me when I'm traveling. I don't take as many markers, but I take my journal, my day planner, washi tape, tape rollers, glue sticks, stickers, small scissors, an eraser, and cards/envelopes/postage stamps (I never know when writing a card to friend will strike my fancy!). And clothes, of course. But the stationary items are MOST IMPORTANT!

[@____________________5680]

I mainly use the Pilot G-2 0.5 in black, and already did for like 3 years maybe and I'm still happy with them, the only thing which isnt so good abt them is that they dry very slow but if I want to highlight my text I use a Pentel Energel with a needle tip also in 0.5 cause they dry much quicker

[@iLLuxLin]

My favourite gel pens for writing are the Zebra Sarasa Clip and Pentel EnerGel, both in 0.5mm. They write pretty smoothly with no skipping and come in plenty of nice colours too!

[@manahilshariq3903]

I love watching you Amanda you just inspire me so much!! When I don't know what pens to get for a specific thing I watch you and I just know what to get I love you Amanda you are a great KZbinr a great artist and just everything you put soo much effort into your video love you Amanda!!

[@thee06]

0:33 it’s okay amanda, as a fellow stationery addict I also bring paper clips with me on travels

[@CharizzeT]

I love the Green Bag 😍😍

[@annabutterflyy6514]

what is sleep when Amanda uploads at 4am! Amanda > Sleep. ♡

[@x_cortana_x3963]

correct

[@thisischerrygil]

Been using Pilot G-Tec C4 and C3 for years now for writing and recently I got into Sakura Pigma Micron at 01 and 03 when I am doing my bullet journal because of you. ☺️ Your pencil case is definitely on my *rob list* 😂 Love, from Philippines.

[@oscarswiftie13]

OMG! This is a lot less than I expected… I have a gel pen recommendation, It’s the Papermate Inkjoy gel 0.7 or 0.5. It comes in a lot of different colours. There are 5 mildliners packs/ sets

[@thethriftyfawn]

My current favorite writing utensil, which is also a gel pen, is the Sharpie S-Gel 0.5! It's also a clicky pen, which I LOVE... and has one of those comfortable padded and ribbed grips. The exterior is black and silver and stylish looking! It writes SO SMOOTH... never skips, I haven't had any problems with bleeding or smudging. And they last REALLY LONG!!! I bought a 4 pack in November 2021 and use them ALL THE TIME, and one just ran out for the first time in September 2022, so I just bought a second pack to have on hand. No idea if I'm missing out on anything else either, but these I LOVE and am loyal to, and are my constant companions!

[@LindaThao]

I don’t even bullet journal because I have an iPad, but I love watching for Amanda 💞

[@princessjoyhernandez6054]

A good quality of pens for me is when they still writing well with no skips in the ink even when they've fallen for dozens of times. Some pens like Faber Castell won't write good anymore the moment you try when they fell so pens who still write nicely even after they fell are dope.

[@sofiecheng8686]

I really like the pentel energel 0.3 and 0.5. They work really well for me when taking notes and writing in my bullet journal. I haven't had any problems with it so far and I have been using it for a few years now.

[@jenojaems1906]

omg my fav pen is the pentel energel needle tip! they don’t smudge and and is super smooth!

[@abbey2139]

Hey Amanda! Been watching you for 2 years now and since then I’ve gotten into bullet journaling and I love it thanks ☺️

[@isabella_iz]

My favorite pens are the Flair Felt Tip Pens. I love using them for taking notes, doodling, etc.

[@dreamxpaili]

my favorite gel pen is the pilot juice up!! soo smooth!

[@DoubleMcZombie]

Also Amanda for pen suggestions, the sarasa mark-on is available as a 0.4 on jetpens! It's formulated not to smear from highlighters

[@coffeeplz3380]

Love ur vids soooo much when ever I am down in the dumps I watch ur vids and they make me happy

[@shwetabakshi85]

One of my most favorite pens currently is the galaxy snowwhite needle roller pen. It is in the size 0.5 and you can also use it almost like a Fineliner so I just make all my bujo spreads with it and I love it!

[@iro4566]

my all time favorite writing pen it uniball signo micro 207, it writes 0.38 and its always soo smooth. dries really quickly as well!

[@easysuccess545]

I use inkoy gellyroll gel pen and it’s literally one of the best pen ever I really recommend it !!!! ❤️

[@sanjanababuraj5109]

My favorite pens to write with are: Pentel Energel 0.5 needle tip Zebra Sarasa Clip pens in 0.5 tip Paper Mate InkJoy pens in 0.5/0.7

[@maddietanzanite6023]

does anyone else feels like Amandarachlee is a therapy session for stationery lovers 💜🤍❤️

[@rubydubdub2965]

girl you are absolutely glowing in this video, you look GORGEOUS

[@marthasmyth11]

i love using the muji .5 gel pen for writing but i also love the junhao 993 shark fountain pen by goulet pens. its amazing.

[@shafalyy.y]

You must bring with yourself Tomboy brush pens and Micron fineliners.They're would never lie 🤚❤️

[@kaijugoose]

As for gel pens, I recommended Zebra Sarasa. They are all great!

[@claireloub]

I went travelling around South America for 4 months and definitely took paper clips. I even took a protractor! (although I only used it to wedge a door closed)

[@estiefranks6468]

I always travel with paperclips and binder clips! You never know when you will need them 😎

[@aleparedes709]

The pentel energel are just amazing, and they have some special collections that are super, super cute

[@jennifersakai5826]

If you love uniball.. try the uniball one. I used to love the Uniball Signo and then the Zebra Sarasa but my go to is the uniball one - Paper Plus Cloth carries them in TO

[@LeezaJNZ]

Uniball Signo make a .28 in a bunch of colours, I'm partial to blue/black ink and love that. Love how my writing looks when I use these and bonus I can write really small! :) Much love from New Zealand.

[@LauraPowell252]

Love Uniball Signo DX as well as their Needle version, but right now I'm preferring Uniball One in a Signo RT pen body. The super dark pigment ink dries faster and it's more vivid. You should try them. I love click pens for travel.

[@jenniferanneken9112]

I love the TUL retractable gel pens. I think the thinnest is 0.5 so it may not be thin enough, but they have multiple colors too, which I LOVE

[@rabiatulwardah546]

other girls : makeup amanda : stationery literally a m00d 💛

[@_juli_sdk]

I also use only 0.3 mechanical pencils for sketching. My favourite writing pen is the Pentel Energel Roller Pen with the needle tip. Best pen ever 😌

[@berkleynisson9654]

This video is so lovely! My very favorite gel pens are the uniball signo micro 207 in the 0.5 size and the pilot g2 in the 0.5 and 0.38 sizes

[@CharlotteHibb]

The best thi gel pen in my opinion is the uniball eye it's amazing I've been using it for years

[@belle-un5gj]

My fave pen:Pentel energel. I usually like the 0.5 needle tip but they have other sizes too

[@zainarehan7162]

My fav text writing thin gel pen is the pentel energel!! I use the 0.5 and it’s amazing !!!!

[@justinbutler8418]

I love writing with 0.38 Pilot G2 pens. I use them for lesson plans in my planner and journaling, and then 0.7’s for general use in my 5th grade classroom.

[@Priyainvisible]

Your stationery items are awesome and I also love stationery so so so much ♥️ And yes always keep doodling ♥️

[@audreysahid2848]

i really like the pentel energel 0.5 pen, its soooo good! it never smears

[@starrylit3]

My favourite black gel pen in 0.38 has to be the Pilot Juice pen!! I also find it doesn't skip and I like how black it is. I found the Muji gel pen to skip also and took some time before it warmed up.

[@tabithaiordan7140]

For my favorite gel pen i love the papermate ink joy gel pen i use the .7 but i think they have smaller tips

[@ceciliakol]

my personal fave ballpoint is the papermate inkjoy gel pen - they don't smudge!!

[@MrsHi1206]

I don’t use gel pens anymore I only use fountain pens! It’s much better for the environment I feel like especially since I would go through pack after pack of disposable pens. I use anything from a Japanese brand (like sailor or pilot) with an EF nib, it turns out like a 0.3mm. Japanese nibs are the finest I assume because their alphabet requires a lot of detail. Best part is there’s endless beautiful inks and finishes, for school notes I use a standard archival black that dries quick and doesn’t smudge under highlighter, but for bullet journal I switch the colour out every month depending on how I feel.

[@michemman]

My favourite journal writing tool is my Red Pilot desk pen in EF (old style no longer made and hard to find 20AUD) with Sailor Sei Boku, it is a blue black Nano technology grind, pigment ink for fountain pens. Dry ink fast drying. (looks like a panther jumping over a fence. Meow) on either Cosmo Air Light paper simple journal from Japan (Danika58 Etsy is the seller, very smooth, paper in all kinds of styles and sizes, in a fake TN B5 slim (Aliexpress 8AUD ), or in my new Bespoke Australian made Coptic stitch lie flat, thick 192 journal in shell pink in canvas thick hard cover in B5. Creamy paper, light wide lines. Both of these papers take ink, and watercolour really well without bleed through, or warping. Have a lovely day, Rachel. I think this was a limited travel pack for you. I love the Zebra mildliners too. QUESTION: Any stationery supply regrets that you didn't bring with you? QUESTION: What did you love about Vancouver? Can you see the islands nearby? There is no way we can travel the distance that you did, all our airports were practically shut down by our government, border closures. We are all still in lockdown, till 11th October, "Freedom day" where everyone is allowed to go nuts and be out. I won't be!

[@kawipple]

That's amanda stationery queen 👸❤

[@meginmd]

Favorite pen is Pilot G-2 .05 in black. I love this pen so much I have like 20 stashed away in my desk.

[@piraqt3324]

0.38 Pilot Juice pens are quite good if they are in dark colours like dark green or black etc. If thinness isn’t a priority then I’d personally go with a Pentel Energel in a different pen body like a Zebra Sarasa body because the Pilot Energel ink doesn’t smear at all but the body of the pen is really thick and the grip isn’t good.

[@_fat3mahh]

i LOVE pilot frixion pens i tend to make a lot of mistakes so i use those i normally use it at school life saver 👍 also i use zebra pens so inky but at times smuggy but i use my right hand i’m good i use ut for important writing or calligraph

[@rujuta_mhaswade]

amanda is the cutest thing ever

[@countduckula9977]

Amanda, I was surprised that you got it down to 3 stationery holders. I am a great fan of the Pilot cartridge system Precise/Hi-Tecpoint [a refillable planet friendly] rollerball pens available in 0.5 & 0.7.

[@prishagudimella1761]

THANK YOU I NEEDED THIS!!! I’m going on vacation soon so this is so helpful

[@whos_isa_]

Ahhh Amanda posted!! U literally made my day!! Ly queen of lil doodles

[@ceceyangg]

Wow, I wanted to put my pins on something other than a bag or backpack, but I think I'll be doing it for my pencil case too! That's such a good idea.

[@syddlinden8966]

i tired the signo cause a lot of folks talked about the smoothness and fast dry time and i've loved it. I tried signo, uni-fit, and energel all around the same time and went with signo as my refillable longhauler. i love the ink and find it the most comfortable to write with out of the 3. I went with the plain barrel body though cause i HATE when the grippers get old and get that gross sticky texture...

[@xaestheticgirlxx2477]

Keep sharing your positivity cause you make me smile

[@idax471]

I also use that thick white Pilot paint marker for heavier duty erasing! It’s called Pilot Pintor in Europe

[@Nina-vt8el]

Thank you so much for this Video! It has the perfect timing. I am going to fly to Canada for a while and I am so struggling what to keep with me. I bullet journal for a while and just started junk journaling. I just have to be happy with a little stationary but I also planned to take washi tape, paperclips and the other think to push the journal flat while writing, with me. Thank you for hearing I am not the only crazy one on this world! 😜

[@kimberlyh8201]

my favorite thin nib gel pen is the pentel energel clena!!

[@rashel9895]

ugh love watching a new amanda video first thing in the morning 💗

[@claireg5281]

The sharpie gel pens are surprisingly amazing.

[@heathergleiser]

All of the yes to the Signo DX! I loved the one I got so much that I used up almost an entire refill in three months.

[@heathergleiser]

For white pens I find that the Gelly Roll isn’t quite as good as the Signo Broad, which works on fabric as well as paper. I use them for marking quilt pieces.

[@bujowithchloeyirou4389]

I love it! I can relate! I once told my dad if we're gonna go travelling, I'd bring all my stationary since I don't have that much stationary. And then I look at my whole box of washi tape and 10 sets of pens. Lol.

[@Paeoniaes]

Omg I also have some emotional support washi tapes too! 😂 They’re Totoro theme and I just enjoy looking at them so much! 🥰 Thank you for another wonderful video! It’s fun to see what you brought with you!

[@min-hk4yk]

TXT pins on the bag! So cute!

[@sierra183]

Another black gel pen that I would recommend is the pentel energel black pen.. Also I understand I hoard my stationery when I travel too

[@sillybujo4840]

yes omg i swear by the uniball signos for everyday writing too! except i use the 0.28mm size because i love how thin it is :D same with the pigma microns i can't do a spread without them 💖

[@jaycarr5906]

Sharpie S Gel pens, the best black gel pen I have ever used, comes in multiple thicknesses and colors. I also truck around with way too much stationery too and an enormous and totally not needed pencil case with a lot of my colored pencils in it. Its fits 200 and its full. lol.

[@gracesjournal]

Pilot G-2 is my go-to pen for journaling!!
