I think it’s super fun to combine different aesthetics and stickers to create your own look. It’s you and if you like it it’s great.

This is such a lovely comment, thank you 🥰 I agree! I think the mix of aesthetics is making me really happy right now, it's nice seeing so many things I love all on one page together!

It's exciting to hear how excited you are about your new A5. Looking forward to seeing it fill up!

Aww thanks so much PJ! Me toooo I'm itching for April to start, so I can dive in!

I have really been enjoying a B6 and a Standard TN from Sterling ink. I also prefer to date notes and journaling pages as I go. Love the collage and character stickers together

Thank you so much! Yes it's good to date as you go I think, it's worked well for me so far this year!

My favorite spread makes an appearance haha never getting over that red cardigan

Ahh thank youuu! I'm excited to knit my own version of that red cardigan, I have some yarn waiting for me to make one 🥰 and yes I will be going to stationery fest! Kind of a crazy thing to fly across the world for but I'm sooo excited to go and to see NYC!

No apologies necessary- take care of yourself, I picked up a hint from a few people I divide journaling pages or notes pages into two columns, I’m really loving that

Love your videos! I hope you had a refreshing break :) Curious to know in next week's video if you set any reading goals at the start of the year. I set goals last year and it helped me out of a reading slump. I didn't feel the need to set any this year but I still think they can be quite fun!

Thank you so much! Ahh yes I can talk about that for sure 😊 I do set a goal for a total number of books in the year, but this year I'm behind so maybe I can talk about that too!

I love that your back in a hobo cousin! I just started using an A5 HON for memory keeping/journaling and I love it! I was wondering, do you ever feel weird about planning and journaling in the same book? I’m tempted because I love seeing how people literally use the cousin as their great big book of everything but for some reason I always gravitate towards keeping journaling and planning separate (even tho keeping it together in one place would be so much easier). Sorry this is so long!😂

I hear you about planning vs journaling in the same book. Always a hard one!

Ahh that's so nice to hear thank you 😊 I totally get that too, I used to feel kind of weird about having it all in one place! I think I've gotten used to it/don't mind it so much because I don't write very 'personal' journal entries; they're mainly about my day and what I was doing. I think having journalling and planning separate is also SO VALID but because I don't need to plan for my job or have my planner out at work I don't need to worry about it too much. I think the main thing for me is that it's less to maintain - one book for everything takes up less time so I can work on other things I want to do like reading or knitting 😊 I hope this answers your question!

Did you end up receiving your new Sterling Ink common planner order? I thought I remembered you ordered another one recently and was waiting for it to arrive? Or did you decide to just go with the cousin instead? 😊

I came here to say ask the same question. 😊 Did it ever come, Brontë? Also, I did finish HoFaS and I wish there was a cliff notes version. Lowkey hated it but there were a few redeemable moments. I do not like the main protagonist at all. I would never want to be in the same room with her.

It sadly got lost in the post, so Sterling Ink ended up refunding me! But yes, I'm now going to go with the Cousin and I'm really excited about it 😊

Ahh yes I just replied to the original comment but not sure if you'll see that too - it got lost in the post 😭 so I'm going with the Cousin instead! Oh man yeah I'm wishing there was a cliff notes too haha! I'm still only about 220 pages in, I want to finish it because I want to know what happens but ugh it's a bit of a slog!

I have finished HOFAS either!! Omg I’m SO BORED. Honestly tempted to DNF, but I know past me who loved the other series (won’t say for spoilers), would hate me, so I haven’t 😂 Why did you decide to buy a new cousin when you have the avecs? Any specific reason? (Okay if not!! “Just because” is a perfectly valid answer!!) Never mind, you just answered 😂😂

SAME what is happening?? I was so so excited to read it but wow I've hardly made a dent in it! I loved ACOTAR so much, and the first two Crescent City books! And yes omg I know it seems so excessive to buy a whole new book but I'm really excited to dive into a fresh planner with a fresh perspective and a fresh way of using it 😊

What is the tape called with the beautiful frames/borders at 20:40? 🫶🏻

It's from Paper Game Co, it's a roll of stickers on backing paper which is cool! I just looked it up and it's called 'Embroidery Frame Sticker Seals Roll' 😊
