The bookshelves I am currently using for cookbooks - the Ikea Kallax. I love it because there's enough room to display my cookbooks plus decorate, and if I re-arrange furniture, I can always find a place to use them.

I cannot recommend Nancy's books enough. The best, eco friendly, CHEAP recipes for everything you need around the home. And, she doesn't repeat content between books, so it's worth it to buy them.

Post-It Note Tabs are the absolute best moveable divider tabs I've ever found. Tabbed index cards can be hard to find, but these let you make tabs anywhere and they last. I used them in my university notes 10 years ago and I am STILL using the same o...
Sticky Notes, Page Markers & Post-It Tabs
These are my favourite pens of all time. I've used them since I was 8 years old, and I will never change. The vibrancy of the colours, the smooth writing, the clean ink is perfect.
