Really loved the into/disclaimer very well said. I am just getting into journaling and planning. It is a bit overwhelming seeing all the awesome products, goods, stickers etc. that can be used. Really liked this video.
Thank you so much!! ❤ I know exactly what you mean, it can be so overwhelming. But how exciting that you are getting into this new hobby! I hope you are also enjoying the process. 🙂
First time coming across your videos and this one left an impression for sure. The way you talk, mannerism and the whole vibes feels as if you’re talking to a friend and it makes me feel as if we’re chatting on a coffee or something, very cozy vibes. I think it is because you didnt cut out all pauses, feels like a real conversation
I love those Stalogy washi dots. I put them on my monthly calendar to indicate my workouts, and it's motivating to look back and see how much I've done.
I've journaled since I was little, but for some reason it's been giving me quite a bit of anxiety seeing how popular it's become and how many tips/tricks/tools are out there. Thank you for mentioning not all of it is necessary and to stay true to your style and what speaks to you.
Yessss. I love the journaling community but I don't often find others with a similar taste and style to myself. It's wonderful to find your channel today for this reason and you articulate so clearly and beautifully. Subscribed. I look forward to watching more of your videos :)
Wow I have to let you know I acknowledge your honest introduction. You expressed it so well, I get what you mean about over consumerism & that your intentions are far from making us feel like we don’t have certain things. Thank you so much for that. 🤗❤️ I thought I was the only one who struggled with this when it came to stationary items.
This is a great video! Consumerism has been a big topic in the planning community towards the end of 2023 when all the launches for 2024 were coming out, and with keeping this in mind I *love* that you focused on the fact that all these items brought you joy. So while the stationery treasures from this year may not be necessary in the sense that other people may not see them as such, they are needed BECAUSE they bring you joy. 🙂 New subbie here. This was a great introduction to your channel for me. Can't wait to see what 2025 has in store for you! Happy holidays.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment! ❤❤ You're so right - it really is about what brings you joy at the end of the day. I'm so glad you subscribed, SO happy to have you here! 🥰
I agree with all of the comments - this was an excellent video and helped me to focus on what is important for my system rather than wanting “all the pretty things”. I am so happy to have found your channel (and subscribed!). Thanks for sharing!!
This was so well articulated!!! I have talked to my therapist about that feeling of buying an item that you feel like encapsulates you, and how it can feel like your items are an extension of self. Which by itself isn’t a bad thing but can easily lead to false expectations or overconsumption. Hearing someone else in this hobby talk about it was so refreshing! Lovely video 💗
This is so well said, it really can feel like an "extension of self." I'm so happy you stumbled across my channel. Thank you so much for this thoughtful comment! ❤❤
🙋♂Hello young lady! I want to tell you're not alone when it comes to your journaling hobby. I will confess that I have been using fountain pens for 55 years and journaling for over 46 years. As this may be a hobby for some it has been wonderful journey for me. I commend the younger crowd for doing this as it can help with many aspects of one's personal life and help you heal in some way or just be more productive. With that said... I enjoyed your video and wish you the best in your endeavors. You have gained a follower and with that wish you a Happy New Year.🎆🎇 Kudos from NYC.🗽
Wow, thank you for sharing! How amazing that you've been journaling for decades now, I can't imagine how much of an impact it has had on your life. Thank you so much for the kind words and support! ❤
I know you talked about not putting this out to encourage consumerism but that's not what your doing at all. Alot of your favorites are items you bought while traveling. They remind you of your trip when you use them and now you use them so much they are apart of your core memories. That's super important. It's totally different than just buying something offline you saw and got fomo over. On a side note I did spend $500 on a eink color android tablet this year for my journaling but I did a ton of research to make sure it was the right move for me. I don't have a lot of space and needed something that functioned with my life style. It is my number one favorite purchase for the year and its a daily use and I use journaling way more now and it's really helped with my mental health in a way paper journals didn't. ADHD. If your worried about not using washi tape you could create cards with it wrapped around it for traveling. It makes it super easy to bring small amounts with your of all your tape on the go and it would easily fit in your smaller pouch. It's what I used before I switched to digital. I had like 30 washi tapes on four or five thingy cards that took up maybe a couple cm of space in my bag. You had really great picks this year. You might like one of those refillable pens that are metal that have the interchangeable nibs and stuff. Uses fountain pen ink. That would give you a better option than having to find a specific pen here in the US.
Thank you so much for your comment! ❤ That is such a great reminder that these items are part of my core memories. I also really appreciate your suggestions! 🙂
Very awesome to hear you talk about I mention like consumerism and how you don’t want people feel lack we watch these videos. &You don’t wanna promote stuff. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hey just FYI, Moterm don’t do faux leather. It might be pebble stamped. They have a great range of veg tanned leather covers now too. They age really nicely.

Same for me. So well said by @pochitap-tq8yo, no need to add anything.
