Ta-da Color Pens: soft-color gel pens, 5 or 10 pack

At one point I gave every part of my life its own color in my ta-da journal. Kids got one color, the house another, Nitu another, and the things I did just for me got the prettiest one. By the end of the week I could flip back and see where my days had gone. (Spoiler: the "just for me" color needed more ink.)

You don't have to be that organized. Some days a color is just a color, and grabbing the lavender instead of the black is enough of a treat.

Two ways to use them

• Color-code your ta-das. Pick a color for each area of your life, like kids, home, work, friends and you. Over time your pages start telling you something without you having to add anything up.

• Or just have fun. Write today's wins in whatever color matches your mood. No system required.

The details

• Gel ink that glides on smoothly and dries in soft, matte-inspired colors

• Muted, grown-up shades: think lavender, mint, olive, peach, coral, dusty blue and forest green, not neon highlighter

• Barrel matches the ink, so you can find the right color without testing every pen

• Choose a 5 pack or a 10 pack

Pairs perfectly with: the Dot Grid Ta-da Journal. The thick 160gsm pages were made for colorful ink.
