Using fountain pens had been a big help for my tendonitis. I LOVE my Vanishing Points.

"Being so matchy-matchy is what got me into this washi mess in the first place." I can relate to this 100%! I actually bought a multi-pack of like10 rolls because I needed two of them to match stickers I had.

Me: journaling while I watch this, using my Pilot VP Cindy: I want to try a VP Me: hey neat! *accidentally stabs myself with my VP* ow! Shit! Cindy: ow! I just stabbed myself with my fountain pen! Me: 🧐🧐🧐

I got a vanishing point for Christmas and it's my go to for everything I write. I absolutely love it!

I saw JCSuperstar with Ted Neely at the Concord Pavilion so many times. My mom was the orchestra coordinator so I got to hang backstage. I was 7. I love love love the soundtrack! Have a great week!

Cindy I'm loving you using tomoe river paper and fountain pens. Proof that we can all change our minds about things! ❤

I have two vanishing points. I love them so much. I was on the fence about spending that much on a pen, but so worth it. One of them is an every day pen.

SAME! The price can scare people off but at this point it’s my daily carry (and debating picking up another…!)

RENT!!!!! ❤ My all time favorite musical!!! I saw the original cast on broadway in NYC in March of 1996!! It will forever be one of the greatest experiences of my life!! I’ve seen it other times as well but nothing beats the originals!! I’m a musical junkie so there are very few I don’t like!

I love my vanishing point. It’s my everyday pen.

I love JCS. Can sing it word for word.

My favorite musical is "My Fair Lady". And, I also have a housekeeper. I have chronic asthma and can't be around the chemicals. Also, I have a stage 3 spondolylisthesis (? Spelling) that makes my body stiff if I am standing or bent for too long. I get having a housekeeper for the routine cleaning.

finished a roll of washi this month! woooo!

My fave musical? Hands down, Fiddler on the Roof. A community theater group is going to be doing it at some point this year and I'm really excited to see it live for the second time. I saw a touring production of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Disney's filmed production of Hamilton. The balance of my exposure has been movies. My Fair Lady is really good, too. I'm old.

Pilot also makes the Decimo, which is a slightly slimmer VP. Same mechanism, takes same converter, etc. The VP was my first fp but I actually find my Decimo more comfortable for lots of writing so it's more likely to be an EDC.

My sister, my cousins and I went to see Damn Yankees live at a college theater and we were obsessed. Either our dad or theirs dad managed to get a record of the soundtrack and taped a copy and it was in the regular rotation for years.

10:02 I wish you would have taken a minute to combine the 5 sticker sheets into one. Soooo satisfying to watch. I sometimes will prep blank sticker sheets and store them in the back of my sticker book. So I can combine sheets easily. 💖🌞🌵😷

My favourite musical is a Dutch original called Soldaat van Oranje. It has the same story as Soldier of Orange (which is in itself a true story). I'm normally not interested in anything related to the world wars, but this musical just hits differently.

Love watching you process through everything in this planner, I’m trying it this year too. Fingers crossed you get a good night at Lo Stella, in my experience they can be hit or miss. It might be a little far for you, but Undici in Englewood is my absolute #1 for Italian in the Denver area. Barolo in Cherry Creek North is my #2.

The Once More With Love zombies are my favorite for bad insomnia and pain days. 😊❤

The same white tiger pen was my first fountain pen. I got one for every member of my family when they were cheap. I love the weight of it. I also got a Majohn VP, and while I love the clicky and no cap to keep track of, I hate hate hate the clip placement as a lefty who has no choice but to hold my pen differently. I love musicals, but played in the pit orchestra, and have 2 different kinds of favorites. I love Man of La Mancha because the French horn part is great and the 7/8 rhythms made me happy. Les Miz was the first really elaborate stage show I saw from the audience, and it will always have a special place in my heart. If you read this before you see JCS, listen for the horn part, it is HARD, but gorgeous.

Love your style of planning where you leave room for whatever comes up. I got JCS when it came out in the '70's and wore it out on my record player, still remember all the words to it!

I'm going to date myself here. My favorite musical is The Music Man. Seventy-Six Trombones, Marian the Librarian, Ya Got Trouble, Shipoopi. Makes me smile thinking about it.

As a tabletop gamer, I'm really curious what "not-D&D" system RJ is playing. lol

I highly recommend trying the Majohn A1 fountain pen to see if the VP is comfortable for you. It’s much more affordable and is available with or without a clip. I got one last year and it’s become my everyday pen. Plus it takes the same cartridges/ converter as your Metro and the VP

I was going to suggest the same thing, even if you can only try it with an EF steel nib, it's a $30-35$ investment Vs… I don’t know how much is a Vp in the US, in the EU it’s straight up robbery 😂

Favorite Musical: Hamilton 😁

I think my favorite musical is an oldie, Hello Dolly. JCS is also up there, and the sentimental favorites I've actually been involved with productions of are Pippin and Evita.

Love JCS, I remember seeing the film when I was a kid, then got to see it in Sydney in the nineties

Hi Cindy! I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself a thespian, but when I was in high school, I remember liking newsies a whole lot, and I remember when I got the CD and I was so excited for it! Nowadays, I think my favorite musical is Hamilton. Also, could you go into more depth about your journaling practice? I’ve started journaling more this year, but I use the Apple app because I don’t have to think about prompts 😂😂😂

Fave musical - Les Mis. The story is dark for sure but the music is sublime. 😊

About power outage: maybe you can get small generator for a dialise machine?

LIVING for this slow transition into fountain pens. First the tomoe river paper, now a Vanishing Point 🥹!!! But ya, the VP nib is incredibly soft and smooth, which makes writing with it a joy. Also, the clip tends to be called out a lot but after using mine for a while, it’s never bothered me. It’s my daily carry at this point and such a reliable writer.

I’ve used 7x9 planner stickers in mine. They overlap some but I don’t mind. 😂

My favorite musical is Hamilton, with Beetlejuice being a close second (just because it’s fun lol). I’m loving the use your shit challenge! One of my kitties also has feline herpes. We’ve had good success managing it with L-lysine powder that we sprinkle on a tiny bit of wet food, twice daily. Definitely ask your vet if they haven’t brought it up!

RENT, Sweeney Todd, and Phantom of the Opera are my top. Special mentions are Les Mis and Into the Woods. I really want to see Hadestown live!

Planning is a dangerous sport is my new saying , love it 😅😂❤

Totally off topic, but what nail shape do you tell your nail tech when you get your nails done? That shape is PERFECT 😍

I wish i could see more american musicals ! They're very good but not very accessible for me little french person. I liked what i saw of beetlejuice and my favorite movie musical is Little shop of horror, but my favorite musical of all time is always going to be Mozart l'opera rock which is a french musical from the 2000s with a goth mozart its so cheesy and i love it so much

I’ve only seen Jersey Boys and Hamilton in the past year. I now want to see more!! Also have you thought about getting a generator in case of power outages? I know $$, but might be worthwhile to have one to power the dialysis equipment in case power goes out while on dialysis.

I have a nail question…do you do dip? Just a gel polish over your real nail. Love the pink you’re wearing and that sparkly in a past recent video.

Happy Birthday early! I really enjoy watching your planner set ups. I showed my husband a few of your videos and he said "I really like her, she's real!" We get a kick out of you just saying the truth. "F" dude, it's cold...lol lol

Hey Cindy! Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to my fellow Aquarian! My birthday is Monday!

What made you want to make the switch to sterling ink. If you like the layout go with the hemlock and oak planners it's so great

"partly cool, partly jank af" I need this on a tshirt🤣☠

Just found your channel and loving it! Broccoli 🥦 is hard to spell 😂 Maybe try a Majohn A1 or A2 as a stopgap until you get a VP. I personally love them!

💜💜

I get confused when people refer to themselves as “heavy handed” or “light handed.” I find that most .7mm gel pens (Sharpie S-Gel) are too large for writing in my planner, .3 (needle tip) gel pens (Pentel Energel) tend to be too “scratchy” and most .5mm gel pens (Sarasa Dry, Pentel Energel Clena) work. So what does that make me?

Power out, when on dialysis sounds like a nightmare. Did it go okay in the end?

We have a dog name Odin!

Did you switch the day of the week you stream your plan with me? Sitting down for my Sunday planning with Cindy and I think I missed the memo!

My cat has kitty herpes too and gets sick when she's stressed. Lysine has helped her. You can get some at the pet store in a food for powder or treat form

In a powder form to sprinkle on top of food. Not food for powder.

Phantom of the Opera

I admit not a big fan of musicals. I still haven’t yet finished watching Hamilton.

I _think_ that Jesus Christ Superstar _maby_ is an opera because they only sing.
