First of all, I couldn't think of a better title for this review. Anyways, I love the saying "carpe diem." Always have, always will. I also love Mary Kate McDevitt's work. So it only makes sense that I'd want this journal. It's not too big and not too small. But I did look at the covers, and it almost looks like there are little spots where the journal is perhaps discolored? I'm not sure. And then on the back cover one of the corners is a little bit messed up. So if you're really weird about that kind of stuff (and it's okay to be really weird about that stuff!), you might want to be prepared for a potential return? Regardless, I like the journal. Like I said, I love Mary Kate McDevitt's stuff. I wrote in this journal yesterday, actually. The product was delivered on time, too (just in case anyone wanted to know). All in all, I am satisfied with this journal (especially the artwork/pages). (:
