My Dark Academia Project 49 Journal

BySarra Cannon

Welcome back, friends! It’s another beautiful day of Spooktacular, and I’m so excited to dive into today’s theme. The air feels charged with that perfect mix of creativity and mystery, and I’ve got my coffee, my candles, and my Dark Academia playlist setting the mood. There’s just something about this season that makes me want to journal, dream, and get lost in all things witchy and bookish. I can’t wait to share what’s been inspiring me lately inside my Project 49 journal!

Join me live on YouTube today at 4PM as I set up my Project 49 daily journal with a Dark Academia inspired theme. I’m looking forward to hanging out with you and chatting for about 25 minutes during the Premiere, but if you can’t be there live, the video will be availble to watch at any time.

  4. Pumpkin Honey Spice is my favorite scent! It combines the three fall scents I’ve always loved and reminds me of how my childhood home always smelled during fall.

    1. Loving Spooktacular so far! Love any autumn scent – toffee apple, woodsmoke, and pumpkin of course! xx

  6. My favorite fall scent is anything with cinnamon. i’m pretty basic that way. i do a lot of baking this time of year and it just makes me feel so cozy.

  10. Any scent that reminds me of holiday food makes me feel cozy because I love this time of year. Plus spending time with friends and family.

  11. A fall scent I like is pumpkin cinnamon swirl, it smells delicious and gets me in the fall spirit

  15. My favorite fall scent is apple and cinnamon. A good apple pie baking is so comforting to me. Also this candle called plum noir from target is very fall smelling to me. I love it!

  19. Can’t wait to see the premier, I love a good journal set-up.
    Favorite scent: something that feels warm and cozy, but can’t go wrong with something vanilla.

  20. Anything pumpkin or apple scented are always at the top of my favorites list this time of year, but it really comes down to whatever makes me feel like I’m baking a delicious fall treat or walking outside in the cool, crisp air with leaves crunching underfoot.

  22. I’d say cinnamon but other things like coffee/hot cocoa or REAL pumpkin….even maple!

  24. I love any accents with apples and cinnamon. Those remind me of fall the most. Enjoying Spooktacular

  26. I love the scent of apples and cinnamon. That reminds me of Fall. Loving evening you are doing for Spooktacular.

  31. I use it kind of all year round, but I have this “Bonfire” incense that I adore. It always makes me feel cozy.

  33. Sarra, you’re journal is beautiful. I love how you ripped the papers. The depth and dimension it gave to the pages blew me away. I never thought of doing that. Thank you for sharing your process with us. I’ve got some new ideas to play with.

  38. I can’t say, I really have a favourite scent – there’s just so many I love. But I agree with those saying toffee, or apple or even woodsmoke they all seem very fall like and they are smells I enjoy a lot.

  39. Happy hump day! Love the fall scents. Just picked up my cinnamon broom this weekend 🙂

  41. I love the Woody, Sweet, Clove, and Cinnamon Scents, but there are others, when blended together that are divine. Autumn scents are my favorite!

  43. I love a good cinnamon scent. Simple but oh so cozy. Woodsmoke is also a great cozy, autumn scent.

  46. My favorite scent is cinnamon apple pie. It reminds me of happy afternoons with family and friends.

  51. Pumpkin spice. For as long as I can remember, I have loved all things pumpkin. My birthday is in October so I usually have some type of pumpkin cake. Plus, I love to bake so I make a lot of pumpkin desserts as well…with plenty of pumpkin spice added.

  55. I’m going to the Pumpkin Patch tomorrow. I hope I’m back in time for the watch party 🙁

  58. I’m not a big pumpkin scent person. Also a pumpkin literally almost killed me once. I’ll stick with spiced apple.

  66. This has been such fun this year. And what a wonderful treat! I love warm fall scents the most.
