I absolutely enjoyed doing my morning journaling alongside with you. Such a joy to hear about your week and see your pages, despite it being a bit of a difficult one 🌿 Well done for making it through! 🌿 (Stationery shopping and honest burgers is the one 😌💅) ~ No pressure on using the Hobonichi Memo Pad! The need for its use shall come when it does~ no hurry🍀🥰 The stalogy notebook is an absolute game changer! It seems to work so well as a kind companion :) Your new pen is beautiful~ I’d be honored to see it in real life! Thanks again for the best video.
Gosh, even your comments are aesthetic 😱 I’m glad you got to journal with me blabbering in the background, good practice for Saturday 😝 I have finally got a plan for the memo pad, which the memo pad is PERFECT 👌 for. So excited to get going on it. Xx
Congrats on reaching 2K subscribers! I watch RU-vid planner people because I don’t have anyone local that likes to talk about planners, journaling, etc. I prefer smaller grid as well
I can totally relate to mood /not connecting with book when not starting the day with pen to page; I don’t do mornings pages or write just at end of day, I find it is easier for me to come to the book first thing to clear my mind for the day and then throughout the day if something comes up for me - positive actions, fun, sad, etc. - I support my well-being via the daily pages. Thank you for sharing how you were kind to yourself with a sofa-day when you needed it on Sunday. I have stopped punishing or guilting myself when I need more sofa time and have found this has allowed me to have space to getup and actually get more done for myself on non-work days despite living with disability. Congrats on 2k subscribers, I too am new subscribers from last month 🎉 With regards to your goals notebook, I can also relate, I decided to start on a large sheet of brown packaging from orders, as “brain extraction space”. I folded the paper in half horizontally, in thirds vertically, to map out 6 areas of my life. As something comes to me, I slowly build/write what I would like for myself in those areas and what I have achieved so far this year (to support my winning for myself - life can be hard to forward think when everyday is challenging so counting the wind helps), taking my time putting this together on a rough draft takes the pressure off getting it wrong/messy in a nice new notebook. I can transfer when I am ready and clear with my thoughts. Wishing you lots of kindness and good energy, Varsha, London (so happy to find another London stationery lover - hope I don’t offend by making that assumption) 🙏🏽🫶🏽✍🏾📖
Thank you so much for this wonderful message! I love the idea of a “brain extraction space”. We all need that from time to time. Also a bit of private space (especially now that I share so much of my journals online) I am really seeing the benefit of taking my time and being kind to myself in these pages. If I need to write about a day the following day, then so be it! You are based in london!?? Make sure you DM me on Instagram (this.jo.journals) as we are doing some planner meet ups soon!
Our weather in the Gulf Coast US - has mostly been partly cloudy to thick blankets of clouds/showers, stormy but I’m ok with that because a good bit of the country has been savage heat
It all looks amazing, AND you're making it work the way that you work! I love it so much! Definitely crushing on the double-decker bus - not gonna lie. (A special interest of mine.) And I love that the dogs went to the polls. Just one question: Must one learn about Moomins to be stationery besties with you and CC? If so, I'm willing to learn. 😂
Thank you so much! I am really loving it. So as for moomins, you don’t have to love the moomins but it sure does help 😜 I would definitely recommend going down the moomin rabbit hole. Enjoy!! Xx
Another lovely journaling video :) love seeing your pages. Those pens are super prettyyy!! I wish I used my fountain pens. I never pick them up , I think I need to start using them. Happy journaling ❤❤
Thank you so much! Yes I’ve been up and down about fountain pens these last few months, but I think that’s ok as fountain pens are a life long love (hopefully) and will always come back into rotation. Xx
your stalogy def looks (to me) like it was professionally cut! do your fountain pens bleed on the stalogy paper? i found mine would feather and bleed a lot. your avec is so gorgeous!! thank you so much for sharing! 💛
Thank you! You are too kind! I have experienced some feathering but only on wet inks in medium nibs. Not had any bleed through but I’ve only been using fairly light inks so far. I’m not too fussed with minor bleed through though. Xx
The US spelling of Pelican is with a C. But I sometimes intentionally use the British spelling of certain words like colour instead of color, etc. beautiful pens!
How was this video 30 minutes long? Felt like it flew by in an instant! So glad to hear you're enjoying your system, and congratulations on the gorgeous Pelikan pen 🤩
