Should I be "offended" by your comment...nah....you do you and good thing we are only our OWN moral compass. I buy what I want and love all that I have. I have not proclaimed a no spend for myself or my channel. Also, people open up their homes and lives to us on UA-cam. A selfless act most of the time and if they buy and show stuff, you do not have to chose to watch it. Never feel obligated here on my channel to watch my videos if they do not bring positive things into your life.
@@talksfromtheheart Not at all meant to offend you. More off a self realization. Like I said, I really like your personality. It is just that I am new to planners and trying to find the right fit for me. I am just blown away by how much money and energy are spent on “decorating “ the “spreads”. I can’t be the only person that feels it is like one big commercial. I do have the advantage of being able to decorate things with my own art. For that reason, I am coming from a different perspective. Please realize that I beyond appreciate all of you creators! I often listen while I do other things. I guess that is how it is so much more obvious with your channel. The “Talks from the heart” grabbed me and that’s probably where my expectations were set. I am just being authentic and engaging in real conversation.
Love how your daily pages came out! I've been contemplating the Cousin because it has everything in one and I think this video has tipped me over. Thanks Robin, love your laughter and energy!
I saw this video and this was the first one from you I had seen, and I have to tell you this has literally transformed the way I plan and journal every day! I adore the way you use your stuff and I love the idea of making all more portable and therefore USEABLE! What an awesome video, thank you so much for sharing this with us!!
I SO get you about the "containment" thing -- I pack separate things for when I'm on the go, and then put it all out of my mind and don't use them daily. So then when I DO go to my daughter's, for instance, I'll grab the bag to take along. But sometimes I'll be like, "Where the heck are all my Uniball Eye gel pens?" and then I'll realize that I packed them with my travel stuff, so I'll have to re-organize! Thank you for your ideas, and sharing your tips and beautiful stickers. :)
I love this community as well. It's so nice to see the friendships develop and women supporting each other. I stumbled upon your channel right when I really got into more serious planning, about nine months ago. I knew I needed a hobby to replace smoking cigarettes, and I found it in journaling and planning. I'm almost a year smoke free, and wanted to let you know you had a hand in helping me! ❤️ And Go Steelers! 😂
First of all CONGRATULATIONS! SMOKE FREE FOR A YEAR! What a wonderful comment to receive! This is huge! And then Go Steelers! Cause that has to come second....LOL And thank you for watching my videos. Keep going with being smoke free!
What a great idea! I just “finished” an A6 stalogy that the daily pages were journaling but it wasn’t complete- I needed a change but couldn’t think of what. I bought a B6 about a month ago to try but couldn’t think of how to utilize it. now I have definite ideas of what to track. And I’m so looking forward to the stickers! thank you :)
This is such a fun video - I love how you’ve shared your journey in the Cousin with us and this seems like a great way to use it! And the stickers are adorable. 😍
I love your spreads! I just spent a fortune on Sweet Kawaii Designs (you and me sister!) but I absolutely love them. I was having a hard time figuring out what I wanted to do with my hobonichi weeks. But I am using it now with Sweet Kawaii monthly to track my workouts, food, blood pressures and pills and I’m loving it! Thanks Robin your an inspiration!
Oh fun! Yes, it's easy to load up the cart but also easy stuff to use once you have it cause it's so cute and also practical. Thanks for the positive feedback and for watching.
This is so crazy because I woke up yesterday morning and ordered a Hobonichi Cousin and then promptly went to Sweet Kawaii Designs and ordered a bunch of things to use in it. I love how your using yours and the kits are adorable 🥰
Thank you for sharing! You are inspiring me to try a cousins…. I’m going to try using a old a5 notebook, to say if I can stay consistent before purchasing a cousins… I think it will let me be more creative! Thank you again for sharing this and the shops! I hope it’s still going well for you! 🥰
Thank you. And try to use the A5 and see how it goes. And maybe you can hold off until the new year and get a new Cousin. September they launch the 2023 items.
So glad I found your channel. I love your energy and ideas. I’m with you, more “mature” planner gal (I’m 54). My baby boy just turned 25, so I’m feeling ya there.
Yes! I totally am with you about making things contained - I spent time like grouping some my stuff by colour scheme (washi, stickers, ephemera, highlighters etc) so that can grab them and know that they will roughly go, and then I can be more creative with them, and find I am using more and not using the same bits over and over. Like the "limitations help you create" idea :) so nice to see your process, your videos are so much fun x
Your video got recommended to me when I was searching Hobonichi Dailies and man oh man am I glad! You are so bubbly and charming. Your excitement for your Hobo is infectious. I have struggled so hard with my daily pages. Those blank pages are friggen daunting! I really like the idea of having sections. It made me realize that instead of thinking "What am I going to do for these pages", I should be thinking "What are these pages going to do for me." I'm also a Sweet Kawaii fan too, although I cancelled my sub when I tried out digital planning. Now that I'm back to my Hobo I definitely need to hit up her $2 Tuesdays again. Until then, I'm going to check out more of your vids. You've earned yourself a new subscriber. :)
Love your spreads! But especially your enthusiasm! :) I love Sweet Kawaii Design. I've changed from a huge planner to an A5 using Carpe Diem's planner inserts, and have found the Hobonichi Cousin kits fit it perfectly! Thanks for sharing!
Robin, your excitement and enthusiasm is so much fun! Thanks for sharing with us. Also, please tell Sarah that I miss her channel so much and hope she is doing well.
Loved loved this video!! I'm telling you, you always know how to put a smile on my face or make me laugh!! These ideas and info are great!! Thanks so much for sharing them!!
Now I’ve got multiple ideas of how to back fill missed pages from my 2021 Hobonichi cousin Avec😁! Because of my family log/tracker composition notebook 📓(decorated, of course 😁), I can just go back and use up stickers and write a highlight of the day☺️. Sooo now to find the time 😆! I definitely could do this in my B6 Stalogy when it’s payroll and bills week and I know I’m going to be busy 👍🏻! Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas, take care 🤗💕!
This turned out so good!! I love Jennifer and Tesia. They are so sweet. They have been awesome for me also!! I love me some Rachel too. I just love people and love making friends!! I found you guys in February of this year and I'm just loving the sticker world!! Thank you for being a friend too Ms Robin!!
I love this! I abandoned my dailies earlier this year as it was not working. This covers so much and so simple. Ran to one TJ Max and they did not have that bag in any pattern. Going to another one as the also had very few shorts
I love this so much! Im not planner but i try my best writting 2 setences about my day. have 2 blank notebooks and ive been wanting to write about the movies or tv shows ive watch. Mainly a sumary, to look back and remember what ive watch. I might try this 🤔 great ideas love-love the spread.
Hihi! This is the first video I have seen of yours, and I'm not allll the way through it yet but have you heard of Inku Box? It's a monthly subscription box that is all kawaii stationary from Japan. I love everything I get, and I like to use Zebra Sarasa pens for writing and they always seem to throw in some time a limited print one! I have been subbed for over a year, and it has helped me grow my stash a lot and I find it worth the price for sure! Can't wait to watch the rest of the video, we seem to have very similar mindset when it comes to using our planners and the happiness it brings! Have a wonderful weekend ♥
Has this replaced your highlight of the day Avalon and Ninth and your weekly vertical memory planning? We haven’t seen much of those lately so I would think so given if your writing it all down in your Stalogy as well I guess all 4 would be pretty redundant. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Always a joy to hear your happy take.
Isn’t it so fun to make your own cover?!?! Did you hand stitch it or were you lucky to have a machine that can stitch leather?? I absolutely love everything you do and you inspire me to get my butt going and make videos!! I love this community too but I isolate due to past trauma and don’t really know how to make lasting healthy relationships, something I’m working on, but I hope to make planner friends some day too!! Thank you Robin for showing us your amazing ideas and processes!!
Oh Thanks! The video is linked in the description box so you can go watch it. It's super fun and machines that stitch leather I believe are very big and expensive so I had stitch things when I make them.
@@talksfromtheheart that leather I believe is able to be stitched by a regular sewing machine with a leather needle. It should be thin enough I’ve stitched one garment leather project using my machine and it worked great. Thank you for the video link I did find it. Always great to watch your videos!
I know you love to plan out everything. But dose planning out every little detail of your life not add some stress? I'd feel all the pressure to find the time to work in all the planners. Is it not an added stress at times? Just wondering how you balance trying to get it all done in all the planners, and recording all the little details? I'd have anxity over getting it all done. But I guess it's just a difference in personalitys. Love all the pastel colors...
I 100% see your point of view and agree too. This is why for me it's best if I work ahead and have things prepped. If I had to decorate and do all the filling in all at once it would never happen for me. And that's why my Erin Condren Vertical is sitting on my desk way behind. And sometimes I don't get to it everyday and have to back fill it in.
This would work so well for me too. Nothing much happens during the week but I love keeping track of what I’m listening to/reading/watching. (That’s how I figured out I’d watched 14 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy in 3 months lol.) Plus I need to figure out preplanning, I’m just nervous I won’t like the layout after doing all that. Thank you for the ideas! 💜
OMG!!!! I have so many journaling cards and now I can make folders and pockets. What an amazing idea, Thank you!
I love your energy and your vibe! 🥰 You touch my heart ❤️
Thank❤️
You’re opening about y(our) hobby is the best! 😂🫶🏼
LoL!!! Your convo is the best!! Love that you love planning because i love your content and makes me feel like there are others like meeeee!!! 😁😁
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm still new too the Hobonichi. I love your spreads and need to do this. Thank you again x
How am I drawn to channels that do more buying of supplies than actually using them…lol
I used to justify it by believing that it is because they have an actual channel on the subject.

I know I was all in on this attitude when I first got hooked on UA-cam. I now see it, cringe, and actually feel bad about the non-stop consumerism. I am enjoying my own journey towards minimalism. I will still watch and enjoy these creators. I found them mainly because I like their personality. I guess I also enjoy just looking at the purchases too!

Yeah a go bag is always a good idea. I have one too and use it when I’m away from home. Thanks for watching.
That looks amazing! Love the bumblebee washi...I love bee stuff in general
I love this community as well. It's so nice to see the friendships develop and women supporting each other.

They warned me when they were little how fast the time would go and yep! they were right.
I love the way you are using your Cousin. It is inspiring!
Thank you so much!

Oh that's a fun bit of information! I love it when products can cross over to other brands. Thanks for sharing this.
Loved your video & your setup! 😍 I’m the same way with organizing supplies and prepping my books ahead of time. TFS! ❤️🤗
Your mailer-folio is very clever 👌🏻 A joy, as always 🥰 TFS Robin 💕

Can you tell me what channels Tasia and Jennifer are on?
There are links in the description box.
I love the way you did your daily spreads! 😀
Thank you❤️
Such a cool setup and fun ideas! I love my hobo cousin but those daily pages are intimidating sometimes with the size. 💖Sarah
I love this soooo much! I’m a huge fan of Tesia and SKD as well. I think I can adapt this to fit my lifestyle. Thanks for sharing!!!
Yay! I love SKD too (obviously)!
I love this! I abandoned my dailies earlier this year as it was not working. This covers so much and so simple. Ran to one TJ Max and they did not have that bag in any pattern. Going to another one as the also had very few shorts
Good luck hunting.
You have given me a lot of ideas with these layouts. Thx u 🥰
I'm so glad!
@@talksfromtheheart do u have Instagram?
Brilliant idea of creating a sticker book from the used sticker pages!
I simply love this idea, I have a DIY Standard TN on discbound that I want to use so badly. I'd love to see a video of you making a cover please!.
Sarah's view making a cover is linked below. That will get you started. It's a well put together video.
Thank you!! Now, I need to run to TJ Maxx - love that pouch!
I love this so much! Im not planner but i try my best writting 2 setences about my day. have 2 blank notebooks and ive been wanting to write about the movies or tv shows ive watch. Mainly a sumary, to look back and remember what ive watch. I might try this 🤔 great ideas love-love the spread.
Sounds like you like to track the stuff I like to too. You should give it a go and see how you like it.
Frank is my favorite too...I can usually talk myself out of SKD, but not if there's Frank stickers!
So true!
Soooo cute! I do something similar with my HP dashboard layout.

How/where are you using the pastel highlighters?
I didn't really show that did I? Well, some days I write out my mood in the marker and also create swatchy backgrounds with them.
Great video 🦋🦋
