Stationery Review 247 - Lamy Safari Ball Pen (M) Aqua Sky (ZAR 328)

Hi Friends,

I bought this Lamy Safari Ball pen from Exclusive Books at a 50% discount. When I wrote with the same at the store as they used nice Lamy paper to try the stuff, it wrote extra smoothly. But on my paper, it's not as buttery smooth as it was on a good paper. But nonetheless, the pen writes beautifully as it's a Lamy Safari. Lightweight, Acrylic body design, nice triangular grip section, big refill and click sound. Check it out!

I really loved the design of this Lamy Safari Ball Pen, as I was only focused on getting Lamy Fountain Pens. I will try to get the Lamy Safari Roller gel pen and the mechanical pencil as well in the days to come.

Stationery Review 232 - Legami Magnetic Clip (ZAR 93)

Hi Friends, 

I bought these Legami Magnetic Clips from Exclusive Books in the Benmore Gardens store when they were about to close their doors. The stuff was going at a 50% discount, so I thought of getting two of them. One is in heart shape, and the one in avocado shape. Check them out! 

Stationery Review 232 - Legami Magnetic Clip (ZAR 93)

These are perfect for your books, diary, papers as a clip to hold them together or as a pen loop with your ball pens, etc. It can also keep your wired earphones or cables together as well, but the magnet is not that strong for the same.

Stationery Review 222 - Legami Click & Clack Alice Ball Pen (ZAR 50)

Hi Friends, 

Legami creates a lot of cute and collectable stationery products. These are available around the world in all the stores, especially book stores. I bought this Click & Clack dual-colour ball pen with an Alice theme on the plastic body. The pen refill writes really nicely and smoothly because of the 1.0mm tip. The same is priced around ZAR 50 at the Exclusive Books store. I don't know the price at Sandton Stationery & Print. Check them out!

The pen writes really smoothly because it's a 1.0mm ball point tip, but the plastic body is not so great.

Author of The Billionaire Mindset Daniel Strauss Launched New Book and Talk Show

Hi Guys, 

Daniel Strauss, author of the best-seller, The Billionaire Mindset, will be releasing a brand-new book on 5 May 2023, which will be available online and in all good bookstores nationwide.

The Billionaire Career tells the story of Dan, an employee who lives from paycheque to paycheque.

He dreams about starting his own business and being his own boss but faces various challenges. How will he start a successful business without any money?

One day, Dan is confronted with a big decision that changes his whole future... It is important to note that his latest offering reads like a novel, and differs completely from his first book, The Billionaire Mindset, and is therefore not a sequel.
Author of The Billionaire Mindset Daniel Strauss Launched New Book and Talk Show
In The Billionaire Career, Strauss shares useful, practical advice that all entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs will benefit from through Dan’s journey. The story contains valuable information on how to create wealth, how to learn more about yourself, give back, and build sustainable business systems.

Readers will easily relate to Dan, especially entrepreneurs or those in the early stages of owning their own businesses or who are still dreaming of starting their own companies.

Strauss successfully communicates complex business terminology such as shareholder value, risk vocabulary, and mentoring through Dan’s story, making it easy to understand by painting a beautiful picture that brings perspective and clarity and pushes you out of your comfort zone.
Author of The Billionaire Mindset Daniel Strauss Launched New Book and Talk Show
As in his previous book, the business term “Think above the line”, which Strauss created, comes into play once again. This time, it becomes even more clear what it means to “think above the line”, and you easily identify with Dan as an entrepreneur.

Daniel also incorporates the natural beauty of South Africa into the story and writes about seven beautiful places, the seven “weekend wonders”, that Dan must visit, which will inspire readers to look up these destinations and add them to their own bucket lists!

Strauss is a successful entrepreneur who invests in small- and medium-sized businesses to help them grow faster. He is the Strauss in the investment company, Stocks & Strauss and grew up in a small South African town called Keimoes on the banks of the Orange River, about 40 km from Upington and about 800 km from Cape Town.

He sold newspapers to earn an extra income when he was young. He promised himself that one day he would give back and use his knowledge to teach people how to open their minds and increase their chances of success.
Author of The Billionaire Mindset Daniel Strauss Launched New Book and Talk Show

Daniel Strauss believes that we are the strong people who create good times and that we have authority over our circumstances.

If there are enough entrepreneurs who come together and think at the same level, it can make a huge difference, he believes. It can help grow the economy, reduce unemployment, and build a better South Africa for everyone.

He talks to influential businesspeople like Christo Wiese, Dr Chris van der Merwe and Jo-Ann Strauss about this and the life lessons they’ve learned in his new TV talk show, Meer as net ’n loopbaan, which will be airing on VIA from 8 May 2023.

About the author

He holds a B.Eng. (Industrial Engineering) and MBA from the University of Stellenbosch and as an MBA graduate, Daniel enjoys guest lecturing to university students. Over the years, he has also attended various courses in places like China, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, which he describes as invaluable. It is also no secret that he considers mentorship an extremely important part of each aspect of a person’s life.

My First #Moleskine Monthly Notebook Diary/Planner! @moleskine @ExclusiveBooks @BenmoreGardens

Hi Guys,

I bought Moleskine Monthly Notebook Diary/Planner from an Exclusive Books store sale in Benmore Shopping mall where books and diaries were going for ZAR 50 or ZAR 100 each. I got this one for only ZAR 50 whereas the original price was ZAR 484. I would have never bought one myself at the original price because I can't afford the same. I actually can buy it but won't because it doesn't give me that kind of pleasure that my mind and heart agree on a regular buy. 

I wanted to use it to check how is the paper quality and what's the experience like when you journal in Moleskine notebooks and diaries. You will find the internet and YouTube flooded with several influencers promoting these expensive brands and you always feel what's there in the same as the market has millions of options available at various price ranges in terms of writing instruments and diaries and journals. 

I also was tracking these Moleskine diaries at various Exclusive Books stores, especially in Sandton City, Benmore and other shops as well. Somedays back, I saw a sale of ZAR 50/100 on various tables at Exclusive Books in Benmore Gardens Shopping Mall and immediately got attracted towards the RED SALE boards. Such is the impact of these SALE boards that you want to visit them even when you don't want to buy anything as well. My shopping tendencies have increased a lot in the last year or so. 
My First #Moleskine Monthly Notebook Diary/Planner! @moleskine @ExclusiveBooks @BenmoreGardens
Finally, when I went there I came across this Moleskine 2022 Diary and Planner and on that day it was the only one available. When I checked the price at the billing counter it was going for only ZAR 50 which was not a difficult choice to buy considering that I wanted to use it once in my life for sure. 

I brought the journal and it was lying there for some weeks as I went on holiday to Clarens. I went again to the store and this time I saw there are so many Moleskine journals priced at ZAR 100 even for 2023 as well. This led me to expedite the video for the same and here it is on my Youtube channel - 
As you already know that I write mostly with Fountain pens so that is going to be my first pen to use on this Moleskine Diary. What I found is that for the fountain pens, this diary is not built for the same as you will see the ink behind the paper as it's too silky smooth thin paper. I tried several other pens as well including a clutch pencil.

The fountain pens I used in this diary are - 
LAMY Safari Extra Fine Nib
LAMY LX Medium Nib

Jaguar Roller Ball Pen
Parker Roller Ball Pen

Pilot Metropolitan Ball Pen 
Pilot C4 Gel Pen

Features wise the diary is awesome as it has silky smooth papers that are lightweight as well as neatly spaced. The touch and feel of the cover and the pages are awesome. The leather feel of the cover itself makes it worthy of the price it's sold at.

I am still in search of the right pen to use in this journal. If you know about the same, please do let me know. And that's all about my first-hand experience with the Moleskine Journals. 

The next will be to find a Leuchtturm 1917 journal or A5 diary on sale which is also in the same price range and maybe 10% higher than the Moleskine journals. There is also a Bullet Journal version of Leuchtturm 1917 (ZAR 670) too which will be my perfect choice to buy if ever. Till that time...

Thanks for your time, Aashish

Cheers!!!
