Moon Lists: A Guided Journal

Product Information

This interactive form has only been amplified during quarantine, where days have felt at once emotionally loaded and exceptionally rote.

The size chart serves as a general size guide for helping you find your exact House of Woo and Uplifters Ranch size. I realized recently that the narrative I was telling others in casual conversation needed adjusting.

I realized the evolving sets of monthly prompts could be templates to be shared and exchanged with others. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). The concept for Moon Lists was sparked by a random detail in a tiny regional magazine: a mention from photographer Sam Abell about a monthly question-asking, self-reflection ritual he shared with his wife. I wrote to Abell, requesting to see the other questions on his list…and for permission to recreate his idea through the perspectives of different contributors. These questions, prompts, and lists are an exercise in drawing the connection between memory and experience, a reminder that daily choices matter, habits are defining, and objects can hold layers of significance.

Now, Moon Lists are available to all in the form of a bound volume and a recently launched digital workbook. I also usually drink an obscene amount of sparkling water, cold brew, and matcha on repeat all day long. She has worked with a range of design-focused publications and high fashion brands, including Remodelista, Freunde von Freunden, Urban Outfitters, Sight Unseen, Shaina Mote, Apiece Apart, Wildsam Guides, Cereal, and J.Having some sort of self-preserving activity that isn’t working or looking at the news or scrolling on your phone, feels necessary to extract the differences between days.

From wind down looks to date night outfits, our co-founder styles the new washable silk robe three ways. I’ve kept some form of a journal for most of my life, but its format has evolved (the most current iteration of the digital Moon Lists is probably the closest to how it looks now, a combination of observations, lists, personal inventories). Self-care is the ability to detach from my autopilot mode and production-driven monkey mind: maybe that comes through in a walk or a bath or a nice tea moment. We asked Leigh some questions about the project and the book to find out a little more about the purpose of a moon list and how it can be a tool for self-care. Full time, Leigh Patterson runs Lucca Studio, a creative branding studio focusing on words, images and ideas for clients such as Cereal, COS and J.

Maybe you develop your own ritual surrounding self-reflection (lighting a candle or a stick of special incense). you’ll find yourself grabbing this journal booklet time and time again bridging the gap between the unconscious and conscious. A 12-month analog workbook, The Moon Lists uses prompts, list-making, and specific observations as a way to reflect, creatively expand, and see the present with refined perspective. The Moon Lists are a side project for Leigh, a true passion project for which she exerts the same care and dedication that she puts into her clients’ work. As the moon cycles through its phases, you will be asked to check with yourself, once a week, to reflect on your recent experiences.

It was structured around students creating and guiding their own creative pursuits, and to design a degree around that. With Moon Lists, I strive to strike a balance between asking questions that can prompt deeper or unexpected thinking without feeling overly self-serious, embarrassingly earnest (or like I’m advocating for narcissism disguised as self-care).We took a moment with her to reflect on her journey and explain about her unique services, as well as discovering her. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. There are different ways to consider the present, from the objects and themes that are front-ofbrain to the sensory details that have filled in the spaces in between moments. And while that seems like maybe a parent’s cliched nightmare-ish combo, today my work for Moon Lists and also for my studio LUCCA (aka my “real” job) touches on all these things. Some of the things I collect are tangible and mount into piles of many layers and when the time comes to use those saved images I dig like an archaeologist and sometimes find what I want and sometimes don’t.
