Journaling is a therapeutic activity that I’ve always enjoyed doing. It helps me gather my thoughts and reflect on cherished memories. Soothi couldn’t have said it better, stating “A journal is more than a work surface. It’s a landscape. A self-portrait. A stage. It’s a launch pad. A treasure chest. Home-base and headquarters. It’s where it all started. Where the magic happens. Where dreams become reality. It’s the one dedicated place, throughout history, across the globe, where we all go to think, learn, write, sketch, plan, invent, improve and reimagine.” Journals are not just for recording your life’s experiences and pearls of wisdom, but they can be life-changing when working on goals – no matter how big or small.

Soothi has a wide array of leather journals that you can fill in on your own time, as little or as much as you would prefer. Their leather journals can gradually become a treasure trove of memories and hard-won wisdom that can be cherished by you, your children, grandchildren, and for generations to come. Their journals can serve for other purposes as well. This includes taking notes of things that make you happy each day (happiness journal), keeping up with finances (financial journal), listing things that you’re grateful for (gratitude journal), and sharing your traveling experiences (travel journal). Wanting to start a Bible journal? Bible journaling is a great way to take notes when reflecting on God’s word. Either route you decide to go with your journal, the world is your oyster!

Soothi partnered up with esteemed artist and writer Erin Van Vuren, bringing the Soothi Not Another Flower Handmade Leather Journal. The Soothi Not Another Flower Handmade Leather Journal ($40) is embossed with her poem “I will not be another flower picked for my beauty and left to die. I will be wild, difficult to forget, and impossible to find“, making this beautiful journal a must-have keepsake for all those striving for their personal excellence.

The Soothi Not Another Flower Handmade Leather Journal is encased in a rich blonde leather cover with a string tie closure and stitched in paper, which gives it a vintage feel. This journal features a meticulously crafted design, making it a perfect fit your lifestyle. Whether you’re using it to record memories, travel adventures, or random thoughts and brilliant ideas, this is an excellent companion to keep within reach.

The team at Soothi are continually seeking and refining sustainable materials. This includes recycled leathers, tree-free paper, and cast-off wood. In addition, Soothi strives on processes and practices that reduce our negative impact by creating a positive one. A portion of every Soothi purchase is donated to Animal Aid Unlimited. This is an organization that they encountered on the sourcing trip that changed everything. Animal Aid Unlimited is a rescue hospital and sanctuary for street animals in Rajasthan, India.

From journals, notebooks, and custom stationery, to boxes, organizers, personalizers and beyond, every design comes straight from the hands and minds of fellow creators. Many of their artisans belong to disenfranchised groups in developing countries. Their artisans are also fairly compensated and supported, so they can better support their families and communities.
