The new year means new beginnings — and new resolutions. This is the perfect time to let go of the past and look forward to the future!

Persnickety Box is a solution for photos, but we take it one step further with our photo journal. Research shows that photographs + words are more powerful than either alone. Use your journal along with photos to create a vision for your future, set goals, or simply document your day-to-day journey. Your journal will become a strength to your future self and others (if you want to let them read it:)

There are countless emotional benefits of journaling. Start the year off right with intention and a journal.
