The Little Calm and Happy™ Dotted Notebook — 160 Dotted Pages, 120gsm Paper, Hardcover Vegan Cover, Elastic Closure Band, Ribbon Bookmark, Back Pocket, Introductory Journaling Guide Included | Blue

A dot grid notebook from The Little Calm & Happy™ Co. Designed around three principles printed on the brand wrap: Calm. Happy. Mindful. The dot grid format gives you the structure of a lined notebook without the constraints — the dots guide handwriting and keep drawings straight without boxing you into fixed lines. Use the pages for bullet journaling, habit tracking, sketching, planning, lists, calendars, expense logs or free-form writing. The 120gsm paper is heavy enough for gel pens and ballpoint ink without bleed-through. Comes with the Introductory Guide to Calm and Happy Journaling — a separate booklet included in the pack. Hardcover with a soft vegan faux-leather finish. Blue elastic closure band and matching blue ribbon bookmark. A rear interior pocket holds loose notes, receipts or cards.

What’s Included

• 1 × The Little Calm and Happy™ Dotted Notebook (160 dotted pages, hardcover, Blue)
• 1 × Introductory Guide to Calm and Happy Journaling (separate booklet)

Notebook Features

• 160 dotted pages — the dot grid is the format of choice for bullet journaling and structured creative planning; dots are discreet enough not to intrude on the page visually but present enough to guide straight lines and consistent spacing; 160 pages provides significant capacity before a new notebook is needed
• 120gsm paper — heavier than standard notebook paper (typically 70–90gsm); at 120gsm there is minimal bleed-through with gel pens, ballpoint pens and most felt-tip pens; suitable for fine-liner use; not designed for wet brush calligraphy or heavy fountain pen use where paper saturation is a factor
• Hardcover with soft vegan faux-leather finish — the cover is rigid, which means the notebook holds its shape on a desk, can be written in without a flat surface beneath it, and protects the pages during storage and travel; the vegan faux-leather surface has a soft, slightly textured feel rather than a plastic or paper finish; no animal-derived materials are used in the cover
• Elastic closure band — a blue elastic band wraps around the outside of the closed notebook to keep it shut; prevents pages from bending during bag storage and keeps the notebook closed when not in use
• Ribbon bookmark — a blue satin ribbon fixed inside the spine allows the current page to be found immediately without searching; eliminates the need for paper bookmarks or folded corners
• Back interior pocket — a flat pocket inside the back cover; suitable for holding loose notes, receipts, torn-out pages, small cards or motivational material; a practical addition for a planning notebook where associated loose items need to be kept in one place
• Brand embossing — “The Little Calm & Happy™ Dotted Notebook” is embossed on the lower front cover; subtle and clean against the blue finish

How to Use It

The dot grid format is deliberately flexible. Common uses include:

• Bullet journaling — rapid logging of tasks, events and notes using symbols; the dot grid is the original format for bullet journaling and this notebook is well-suited to it
• Habit and mood tracking — draw a custom grid to track daily habits, moods, sleep, water intake or exercise; update it daily across the month
• Calendars and weekly spreads — draw your own monthly or weekly calendar layout to suit the level of detail you need, rather than using a pre-printed diary format that may not match your schedule
• Goal setting and planning — break large goals into smaller steps with checklists, timelines and progress charts drawn directly on the page
• Expense tracking — draw a simple table to log spending by category; more flexible than a pre-formatted finance tracker
• Sketching and visual note-taking — the dots allow freehand drawing and diagramming without the interference of visible ruled lines; suitable for mind maps, flow charts and illustrated notes
• To-do lists and project planning — create custom checkbox layouts and section dividers that reflect the complexity of the task rather than a fixed list format

The Introductory Guide to Calm and Happy Journaling

A separate booklet included with the notebook. Provides an overview of how to arrange tasks and goals in the dot grid format, how to track daily moods and gratitudes, and how to start a journaling practice. Useful for first-time dot grid notebook users who want a starting framework before developing their own system.
