Bianca van den Bos

Hi, I’m Bianca van den Bos - a designer, traveler, and journal enthusiast. Both my partner and I have a chronic pain condition (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Fibromyalgia), and I’ve experienced living with chronic pain for over 20 years.

I started Happy Journals to create tools that are pretty as well as practical and uplifting - like symptom trackers, gratitude logs, and bullet journals with beautiful designs to brighten your day.

Now, I’ve taken it further with my book, Chronic Pain and the Search for Happiness. Drawing from my journey, this book is a heartfelt guide to finding joy and resilience despite the challenges of chronic illness. My goal is to offer encouragement, hope, practical exercises, and insights to anyone navigating life with chronic pain.

Whether through my journals or book, I hope to help others with managing pain and embrace moments of happiness.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope my work brings light to your journey.
