the attic archives | ep. 25 ✸ choose your evil: coffee spills and christmas decorations 

so satisfying that episode 25 is exactly 25 minutes long ♥️

i really appreciate the "normality" of your videos, youtube is very overrun with hype so its nice to see some calm (or, relatively calm) content

We appreciate how you document certain things in your life, Megan. Keep up the good work.

The coffee was just trying to help give you a vintage vibe in your notebook. Edit: I also made a Mushroom themed Christmas Wreath cause apparently mushrooms are the hot new christmas decor.

your videos provide such unexplainable comfort and as a fellow autistic person its so beautiful to see someone not try to hide who they are

I don’t think you need to apologize for a mundane week haha, rather i liked seeing that human touch of mistake and just sometimes life is about waiting for things and doing mundane everyday things. Loved it!

hii i'm so sorry about your books. :(( this happened to me last year i spilled black tea all over it (thankfully i really liked the aesthetic).for the smell the best you can do is find a container and a bunch of baking soda. you have to make sure that your book is completely dry, fully covered in the baking soda. leave it for about 20 ours and if that doesn't neutralize the smell, nothing will. i hope it helps! also make sure to leave the container in a place with low humidity

Feeling the coffee spill heartbreak! Sending hugs.

So sorry to hear about your hobonichi - I was nodding my head when you mentioned feeling impatient about your new hobonichi arriving...I was feeling the same with lesson planbook. I'm a primary art teacher and I've finally settled on a planbook design and I have you to thank. I really find your pages so beautiful and noticed the paper is square grid and I never thought to write my lessons on square grid paper, I've written them before on the dotted paper but having the lines of the squares will be so helpful with keeping everything neat. Sorry for rambling. I loved this video - watching you Christmas decorations shopping was so fun to see and calming- my favorite is your mouse purchase, he's adorable!! Thanks for creating and sharing your world with us! Take care always. 🐁 🎄

I actually enjoyed your video so much! The fun is in the details and small moments, I definitely think that sometimes we can get carried away by the idea that consuming content has to be this fast paced, exciting thing All the time. It's such a treat for me to find content creators who capture the slow and mundane. There's such a beauty there! I'm a relatively new subscriber, I don't think it's even been two weeks 😅 but I've already turned those notifications on for the next time you upload ❤️ I adore the space you've created with your platform ❤️

yessss!!!!!!! new planner setup video featuring new charms!!! things happen for a reason so maybe the campagne planner was ment to be! Hope you have a nice week❤

honestly i think the coffee stains looks charming on the Field Notes - as another commenter mentioned, it really does give it a vintage look. absolutely understandable about the stink, though! i also struggle with the transition from halloween to christmas. i've found it helpful to dive into the folklore of the season, and especially dig into ghost tales (à la Christmas Carol) to prolong the spooky season 👻🖤

I liked every ornament you showed at the mall. Such pretty finds!!

I’m really sorry about the coffee spill! 😭 I decide that Halloween decorations will come down and be switched to Christmas decorations after thanksgiving. I love pumpkin pie and we can get a free one from our real estate agent on Tuesday so I’m really looking forward to that! My way of enjoying the between times is to focus on cute hats, mittens, scarves. I look forward to walkies and keep heating cost down by bundling up in my cute things inside!

not the bunny planner 😭my condolences, may he rest in peace and may the new weeks live a long life o7 jokes aside, hope you have a good november moving forward. this time of the year and christmas is always weird for me as well, so many mixed feelings.

honestly the coffee stains look kinda cool in the fields note

As a lifelong lover of ghosts/ghost stories, I have a couple that stay up year round.

i love the feel and look of your videos megan!! they really soothe me after long and frantic days and when my anxiety acts up :’) i’m so sorry to hear about the coffee spill aaa i can imagine the frustration in waiting

love the high mountain court - the second book is my fav - hope you enjoy it!! also hope your christmas season is pleasant despite 🖤

Oh no about the coffee stain. Honestly i totally get that of having to change notebook because of the smell. I could live with the stain i think, but smelly pages? Ew no. Im also not a big fan of Christmas, which is even harder now that i live with someone who does. I try to make it as calm as possible but its still overwhelming.

Oh, that’s where you got that cup and saucer. I always admire it in your videos.

I feel the same about this time of year as you. AND I also feel unresolved about the spooky season and I already miss it. Spooky season is one of my special interests as well. I'm really sorry that the spill happened. :( I always enjoy your videos and watch weekly. Thanks for all that you share. Love, Silvia

I have also already done (some of) my Christmas shopping! I will start decorating next weekend, so I too had the feeling of being kind of early, but as you say, it is much more relaxed in November (and I get nicer things in second hand shops than in December, because the good stuff tends to sell out early of course). 🌲

I really enjoyed this week's vlog, I love that you keep it real and don't "create" any content

I’m so sorry about the coffee spill! I also had to order a second Hobonichi weeks, but cause I ruined the first one in a meltdown. Sending hugs! I also have a weird feeling with Christmas (undiagnosed and religious reasons) but I’ll try to celebrate it as "Gothmas". I can’t get over the spookyness💕

as a clumsy person i now put a lid on all my drinks or i will spill lots everywhere all the time, maybe the doggy won’t be able to soak anymore books? i know that pain esp on a finished book!

So sorry about your notebook! I hope the coming days are better for you.

I'm so grateful youtube recommended me your videos 🙇‍♀️ they have become such a comfort for me and something I always look forward to 🤍 sending love!! 🥰

Spray your old weeks with Gain Febreeze. And use solid or oil perfume if you have any. Let it dry and just use it for notes. The page’s will be wrinkly and beautiful. Move on to your new planner for planning. ✨✨

Aww Tragedy! Of course the video was good, every week is a 'Normal' week in its own way and you tell it how they fall which is the charm. Looking forward to seeing The Tree with such lush decorations. When you toured your new desk layout it looked like you had a separate keyboard that looked interesting, any chance of an overview or review as I am currently shopping for a new one?

I’m glad you liked a Dowry! I loved it too. Couldn’t stop reading honestly, once I started. I also just started HMC lol. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

Loved the look of the books on your desk 🤩. Thanks for showing us the winter/christmas decorations in the U.K.

yeah the field notes book looks really cool with the coffee stains!! sorry about the spill and the smell though

I’m so sorry about your hobonichi :( I’m also waiting for mine to come in since I live in the states. I always struggle to make it through November as well because of past issues. I don’t mind the odd week! I love your content!

Love the style of this video…. So calming and cosy somehow. X

Another great video. Thanks for sharing little bits of your life. It is so relatable and that’s why I love it!

The lighting looks great, plus the darker or soft lighting matches the cozy vibes of winter, but I am sure you could buy cheap right lighting like a ring light or lamp? LOVE your videos, thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤

Second comment, I know there are some Planner Tube channels that create layouts in books but never use them. Passion Planner, Happy Planner, and Erin Condren content creators buy many books and make layouts in all of them with their sticker shops. I got bored of that quickly since I am one to use stickers minimally and it was just pretty planning where I prefer functional planning.

oh nooo, so sorry to hear about the coffee incident 😪 i once spilled balsamic vinaigrette all over my planner, such a strong smell as well - glad that that was towards the end of the year!

Christmas is my special interest but I keep my Halloween decorations up in November and then ease into Christmas at the end of November. The past lockdown Christmasses have done some damage to my Christmas spirit though, now I always get very anxious that something might happen so I can’t fully enjoy December. I always enjoy all your content, it’s not boring to me. It’s very relaxing and relatable and I’m looking forward each to week to a new episode. 🎃 👻 🎅

I always appreciate the calm vibes of your videos. 💗 Sorry about the coffee! 😢 my cat chewed on the corner of my passport TN the first week I had it so I feel your pain lol 😅

Or fabric softener mixed with water spritz

I also do Christmas stuff early so I really liked this video!

Stopping to say that I love tinsel too 🙈❣️

I would have bought a new planner too! I can't stand smells lol and it's gotta be bad juju to start a new year off with a smelly planner 😋

New subbie. Enjoying your videos. I’m pretty sure I’d have to replace a planner if it was stinky with coffee and milk😂 TFS

Christmas…..that time again not a big fan but try to enjoy it each year. Gonna be a little low key this year however. I have a short Gothic novel to send you. Haven’t read it just yet. But I’ll send it asap. As for your coffee dilemma the smell should go in a week or two alternatively you can spray a little perfume on the cover. Take care for now, back to the Horror flick.

May I ask what your wide-leg trousers are that you wore in H&M? I’m a Converse person, so I like how you styled them

I wonder if you could do a spooky Christmas theme like inspired by nightmare before Christmas!

Have you tried tea bags? Like for the smell

Hi beautiful awesome work 💟💖💛❤💖💟❤💛💝💜❤💜💝❤💜👍👍💕💖❤💜

Is your puppy a emotional support dog? I am going to have to be like Jessica in how to adhd and probably have to self train one. If I am. Not shopping with anyone, I usually also wear my noise cancelling headphones. Else any loud crowds, elevator music, or excited child voices, and the loud danish women on their mobile phones that think everyone wants to hear their conversation will trigger me. Oh I love those mushroom ornaments. Looks like a nice christmas ornament haul you got.
