Good day!

Hey guys, what's up> This is the Seattle's Best Coffee Dream Journal 2018 I received from a friend, I wanted to unbox it and share it with you here. It's weird getting a journal after the middle of the year but this journal is very useful and is not restricted to the year on its calendars because they are all removable and the pages are refillable.

Made a blog preview about customizing it here: Customizing an SBC Journal Preview

After opening the cardboard box it was in you will be greeted by a still wrapped journal with plain white paper and a red SBC logo sticker seal.

The journal I received is of black color and had a red imprinted coffee cup on it's magnetic lock flap.

Here's the journal out of the box. The texture of its cover is great. Kinda like a leathery carbon fiber texture, but I'm pretty sure the outside is made of faux leather or rubber or something.

The cover's quality is great, inside looks like the insides of faux leather. The first page has their branding on it.

As you can see, the pages are binded with rings you can open so removing or altering the pages is really easy. I already moved all the pages from the previous months into the months of August till December cause that's where I may need more pages to write on and draw on.

Here's a closer look on some of the journal's details:

It came with a cute metal cup replica hanging from the binders that has the letters SBC on it.

The back still has the same texture and has this embedded Seattle's Best Coffee logo on it.

All images above were captured by me with my Fujifilm X-T20 and a Meike 35mm lens, and post processed using VSCO mobile app with VSCOx subscription (VSCOx allows you to get more editing features and all the amazing presets they have in the app).

The journal didn't have an included pen or pencil but there's a little strap where I can put one in, just needed to find a thinner pen to fit in it. It's also cool that all the coupons are still in this journal (the past few months went to waste though), I could still get 2 free drinks and some other discounts within this year.

If all goes well, our friend would just give me the 2019 journal when it's released, but maybe I'd still collect stickers for it. This journal is not something you'd throw away or hide away even after the year finishes, your imagination is the only limit of its use.

Thanks for reading my blog!
