♥ Frequently Asked Questions ♥
Q: Do you plan before, during, or after the week?
A: It varies from video to video, but typically I plan 2-3 times during the week and stitch the clips together. I rarely plan the entire week in advance or the entire week retroactively.
Q: Do you use all of these planners?
A: Yes and no. Every week, there is something in my life that takes priority over the others whether it be school, work, or something personal. Depending on the week, I select a few planners that will help me achieve my tasks! So not every planner is used every week.
Q: How do you get so much done in a day?
A: If you watch any of my journaling vlogs, you’ll realize that I have very poor sleeping habits and so naturally I’m able to fit more things into the day. It’s something I’m trying to fix but admittedly this is the only reason. - Навчання та стиль
You're allowed to have bad days, weeks, periods of time. You're allowed to be upset, and to not always have on a happy mask
Thank you so very much Caralina 🥰🥰🥰 I just know next week will be great!
I second all of that!!!!!!
You're not a negative Nancy, hon, promise! I definitely appreciate that you're so real and open with us! And I totally sympathize about the friend moving away thing. When one of my best friends moved to another state, it hit me hard, too. Congrats on your driving test, and definitely hope that mood swings back up soon, and you're able to take the time for a little self-care soon. 💜
Thank you so very much
Sending you a virtual hug. My friend moved away to another state. But I refused to say goodbye (I genuinely dislike the word) to her. I kissed and hugged her and said: I'll see you later.
Go easy on yourself. We sometimes forget that we are humans and we ARE allowed to have emotions.
That is so sweet!! I am going to be saying that from now on. Hope you have a great day!
You know what I think is great? (Well, besides the spread... I love that!!) It's that you feel comfortable enough to be real and you don't feel like you need to always record when you are happy. It really helps me to see you take care of yourself by doing something that you love (planning) even when you would probably rather curl up and cry. It is really inspiring to me. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Tricia!!! This means so much to me
You are not a negative Nancy! You have a busy and complicated life and you should give yourself grace and mercy. You deserve a break!!
Thank you so much Sarah
Please don't apologise for being human 🤗 & you aren't a Negative Nancy...your regular little moments of joy at a nice coffee or whatever remind me to feel grateful at the little stuff, which is awesome because I forget! Keep doing you, it's wonderful.
Thank you so much Audrey
Congrats on passing your driving test! My daughter got her license at 23. I think it’s wise to start driving only when you’re ready, no matter the age. Sorry that you’ve had a rough week and that your friend is moving away. Personally, I watch your videos because I love your spreads, products and doodles; I hope to get some tips and inspiration; and I genuinely care. This video was great and sincere and real. Have an amazing day and week, Helen! P.S. If you’re ever in the MD/DC area of the US, I’d love to take you to lunch or dinner (introverts unite!). ☺️
Definitely not a negative Nancy. I hear so much excitement come from your creativity ( like "that's so cute!" And "I just love this" ) we need to have the highs as lows and it's just not realistic to expect people to always present super happy excited. You're a fantastic creative hardworking woman and if you want to take a little moment or all the moments to share how you're actually feeling then we're here for it. Nice to know I'm not the only one occasionally losing my mind 💕
Thank you so much
Yayyyyyy🎉 I have been driving for nearly 50 years. I felt that I would never be a driver. I have driven all over the world now. Darling Helen as time goes by you add more and more miles. Happy driving xxxx
Thank you so very much Jessica!!!! I think I will be feeling this way too!
They never pass anyone out of pity ! Don’t belittle yourself ❤
Long rambly comment ahead but I wanted to write some stuff in case it helps to hear it.... Helen you are seriously one of the LEAST negative people I know!! I get such a positive vibe from you and your videos 🥰
watching your videos is one of my happy places because of who you are as a person, and how you are REAL with us and how you share the up's and down's.
It's very validating that yeah, life is messy and we are all human and have emotions, the "perfect life" that's often shown on social media is not how people's lives actually are.
I find it very comforting like what you said about the "you are still a valid planner person even if you can't fill stuff out every day ". I think I really needed to hear that so thank you. ❤️
Sending you lots of emoti hugs!! 🤗 I use emotis to cheer myself up too, and I wouldn't have that without you! You have affected so many people's lives for the better!! I really appreciate you and all you do! 💖
Watching you for a long time has made me cave. Not for 2023, because I already have a journal lined up, but for 2024 I will be getting myself a hobonichi cousin and many a kits from your site. I absolutely adore the way you plan and I've been using hobonichi inspired spreads in my bullet journal for months now. Seems to work okay so I'm going to try it out. Until then I will be living vicariously through your planner and your spreads!
Looking forward to purchasing this kit!Sorry to hear about your friend moving to the U.S, hope you get to visit her sometime here! 😊🙏🏻 Have a great week!!
you’re such a sweetheart, thanks for being honest and real. it’s okay not to be ok all the time, we’re humans. stop being so harsh on yourself, we love you and are here for you, you’ve brightened my day anyways, so just don’t be sorry, be happy ❤️
You are not being a Negative Nancy because you’re upset someone’s moving far away. My own best friend also left for school this week, and even though they’re about 2 hours away I hate that we don’t live about a mile apart anymore. I’ll miss that I can see them any time ❤️
I love listening to everything you say good and bad! It’s real life. I find myself avoiding yt channels that are all peppy n positive. I like the real and raw life stuff. Thank you for being you Helen. Listening to you and getting ideas from you truly brighten my day!
Road tests are hard. It took me 2 tries to get my N license, and 3 tries to get my Full license. I'm so happy for you, congrats!
You’re not a negative Nancy at all honey, you’re human. I’m always in awe of how much you get done work wise and socially despite your anxiety ❤
I really appreciate and want to support you on taking on more positive self talk, like how you’re recognizing you apologize for things that do not require apologizing. You’re an incredibly creative and tremendously productive person. ❤
Congratulations on passing your driver's test!! That's so exciting🎉
I am sorry to hear about your friend leaving. As someone who has been in a long distance relationship for a looong time - I feel your pain. You are allowed to feel all the emotions right now and you are not a negative Nancy because of that!
It's Okey to have bad days or weeks and to show your feelings. I hope you can have a relaxing self care day soon. Sending hugs ❤️
Oh my goodness - it turned out SO cute!! I love that we got to watch you design it in your other video! I’m literally 15 seconds into this and had to comment…. now back to the video. Congratulations on your driving test! 🎉
Thank you Beth!!!!! I'm so glad you love it!
Thank you for sharing with us happy and sad news Helen. You are allowed to share happy and sad and disappointing things on your channel (it is your channel after all 😊). I don’t mind it at all, because it shows the reality of life and life is not always rainbows and unicorns. Hope you continue to share what you are willing to share on your channel. 💕
Bad days are okay Helen! Your followers love you for who you are and that includes some down day reactions. Hope you feel better soon 🥲🫶🏻👍🏻
I love your videos, both the daily and weekly plan with me. I never know how to use my kits and seeing you use them helps me. Bad days are a part of life. I like that you are able to share both the good and bad days. So many times people only show the good days which is part of the reason why social media can be harmful. Thank you so much for sharing your bad days! Take care of yourself.
No no Helen, no need to apologize, we appreciate you for sharing this with us! It sucks to be away from people we care about. Whenever I watch your videos it comforts me because i relate to you for being real and honest. I hope we can give that comfort back to you even with just our messages! So heres a virtual hug coming your way... :> hope it gets to ya.
Helen, I’m so sorry your best friend is moving away. That is so heavy. You don’t have to apologize for your feelings. I feel grateful to be apart of the community you share your life with. I know you tend to be private. But just know that it makes me feel less alone in my own life and struggles, and not that I want you to have struggles! But like, there’s something in knowing we aren’t alone? Ya know? So I hope you feel less alone too. Sending you all my love. Also, I love both daily and weekly equally so I’m up for any PWM you film. Your videos are something I look forward to. Thanks for being YOU ❤
you don't owe anyone happiness, we like you for you, however you are feeling.
This is so well put, I love that "you don't owe anyone happiness" I think I will write this down as a reminder for myself too.
I like watching everything your monthly view, daily view and journal, and weekly video.
Don’t apologize to us at all!! So proud of you for your driving test! That is a huge accomplishment. I am also so sorry about your friend moving. But you will still be friends, it’s just another chapter. And you are allowed to be sad. 🤍🤍🤍
The washi at the bottom would look good with light birch marks on some of the trees! I like that it’s blank too because it leaves the option open for those who like to add doodles to their spreads. We can mark them and draw other things in that space if we want. 🤗 Beautiful and inspirational spread… I love seeing your creative process from the creation to application! Thank you for sharing 🥰 #HappyPlanning
Hi Helen…First of all, congratulations on passing your road test! I’m new to your channel. I love journaling, and I just got into travel planners, and I ordered some of your stickers yesterday. I’m an older woman who lives in California and loves paper and books, and the paper and book arts. I love watching your videos. You are such a joy, and so sweet. Not to worry…we all have bad days but, we do get through them. Hopefully, you can visit your friend in The States. Be well.
Congrats on passing your test. Know this the driving test is the hardest test in a young persons life and you pass it , you pass it.
I am so happy for you. Do you realize every thing you have accomplished this year?
I've never met and I am soooo proud of you keep up the good work sweetie.
I don’t even use a Hobonichi planner. I just like listing to your soft calming voice.
Don’t apologize for feeling down, you’re human and you’re allowed to have the feelings you have ((hugs)) I’m so sorry to hear about your friend moving, that can be so, so hard ❤❤❤ Hang in there!! ((Hugs))
I didn’t subscribe til the 2nd half. I LOVE THE PLANNER!! And loved watching another human trudging thru life to bring their beauty into it ❤
Endangered Species series would be great to implement in your collection. Here in Hawaii, the Hawaiian Monk Seal is endangered, and there are more animals throughout the world. Awareness and all. Just an idea!
No apologies needed! Despite all that is going on you still filmed your video and shared your week with us. You're human just like the rest of us and there is nothing wrong with feeling the loss of having your BFF move away. I hope it gets better and you both find new ways to keep your friendship growing. Have a great week!
Take care Helen. And never apologise for not alway being a happy potato. Sometime life is a bit much and you're a very busy young lady with big responsibilities.
I enjoy your planning videos. You have a nice, calming voice. The stickers are very fun. I'm trying to get motivated to fill in my moterm and my bujo. Your videos will help me! Thank you 😊 💓
Helen, don't apologize if you have a bad day.. I'm glad you can squeeze in your hobby by the end of the day.
Thank you lovely Rosalin
Congrats on your driving test Helen! You worked hard for that!!!!!
Thank you Lauren!!!
I’m so sorry to hear your best friend is moving away. That must be so sad. Totally feel you on that. Aw please be extra kind with yourself. That isn’t an easy thing to go through especially as you have so much on your plate ❤
We love you Helen, everyone has a bad day girl! Thanks for the pwm!!! 😊
Don’t have to apologize for being human. I’m sorry you’re going through a hard time. If anything it’s nice to know we aren’t alone and that we are still valid planners and bujo people even if we don’t have consistent days. I hope your spirits are lifted soon and that your friend has safe travels to the states. Look forward to your cozy Halloween collection. And I like both plan with me videos and vlogs that you do. Sending you all the love ❤️
Actually, i'm new here. Hi 🤗. Aaaand i already love your spreads 🥰. I also like that you are not talking only about the good stuff in your life, but also about the not so good. Because, that is life 🤷 So, a true planner reflects all of the feelings 🧡
I really enjoyed it. I don't feel like you're negative and who wouldn't be sad if they're best friend was moving away?? I enjoy frequent and long videos. No matter what, I will watch.
Congrats on your driving test. I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I'm glad you guys got to hang out this week. I hope you're getting some rest. Definitely wasn't a negative Nancy. Hope you have a better week 💙
I appreciate the real emotion and I found this very cathartic, although I am sorry for your friend leaving. It really warms my heart how much you feel for her. I loved how sweet and honest this video was.
This is dangerous. I got my fist hobonichi cousin for next year and already made my first order on your site. I usually have a different esthetic but i love your stickers so much, i want all the kits ahaha
It's a slippery slope!! 😀
Be gentle with yourself, Helen. We are allowed to have sad/rough days. C'est la vie!
It's a nice way to spend a bit of my day watching on a Sunday, so I'm enjoying either the weekly or the daily PWM. I hope this coming week showers a bit more smiles and sunshine your way!
Thank you so much lovely Jules! I appreciate your support
CONGRATULATIONS on passing your driving test!! I’m so very proud of you!! This new kit looks amazing and hopefully soon I can place an order ♥️
Hey Helen! Congratulations on passing your driving test! 🎉🎉🎉 I failed mine on the first try and never returned! Lol I think the anxiety was too much for me. I hope that made you smile. You are not a Negative Nancy. I would be devastated if my bestie moved away too! Hope you can look forward to planning a trip to the U.S. one day. Take care! Much love and hugs 🤗💖💕💕💕
Don’t apologize for having an upsetting week. Give yourself some grace. They happen a lot. I’m sorry that your friend is leaving but glad she’s continuing her education. The spread is amazing with the new layout. I’m so excited to see more. Appreciate all that you do and the videos are always inspiring. Appreciate you being such a great person and artist.❤
I like all your videos. Congratulations on your driver’s test. Hope you feel better soon. Blessings.
Thank you lovely Wendy
Hang in there Helen! Always enjoy your videos 🥰
Love this kit. I loved getting to see it made and used! So excited to see the biome washi later this year. So sorry your friend is moving and you are totally allowed to be a real human! Authenticity is more important to me than filtered happy.
I totally get what you were trying to say. Sometimes you miss days and you feel like you lost planner person points. I go through that too!
Congratulations on passing your drivers test! I had anxiety as well for a little while after I passed as well. It’s all right! It takes a little while before you will feel comfortable behind the wheel. I wound up later teaching a friend how to drive in the snow and another how to drive period.
I'm sorry to learn that your friend moved away. I could tell that they were very special to you. And like others have said, you don't need to apologize for being you! I know I'm not alone in saying that we're so grateful that you're letting us into these little snapshots of your life. Take care ❤
This looks great! Love that it’s a 30 minute video! 💛💛
Sorry that things are a little rough for you at this time but just know, that you are allowed to feel however you need to feel and to process however it best for you. We are all human and understanding each other is what makes humanity greater. You are a wonderful person that brings joy to this planet. Hope you feel better soon :)
Thank you so much Jeanie, I truly appreciate your comment
You do a wonderful job and I love all of your work, it seems like you are so very busy I really hope you are able to find time to unwind!
I love your videos Helen. Please don't feel like you have to be a certain way. You are allowed to be sad because your bestie is leaving. When mine moved away I was inconsolable. And I had to take him to the airport. I vividly remember the day, the feeling lasted a bit, but it will pass. You'll have a penpal. I can imagine new stationery sets on the horizon.
Also, I love all your styles of videos. Weekly, to see the week's layout, and the daily vlogs, those are so much fun. I also thoroughly enjoyed the design with me.
Thank you so much
Not all weeks are fun or easy. I appreciate you being real with us and sharing your ups and downs. I always enjoy seeing your PWM. Hugs! 🙂
What a great spread. The muted colors look soothing. Thank you for sharing. Congrats on passing ur driving test! & it was ur first one!!! I'm pretty sure I failed my first one. XD You weren't a negative Nancy at all. You were being real and I appreciate that so much about you.
&
I can't tell if I like your dailies or weekly videos more! XD
Congratulations on passing your drivers test! I hope you don’t’ feel you have to apologize for living your life. We all have good days and bad days. I appreciate you putting them out here! It shows we’re not alone! Hope Sunday goes well an you get to spend more time with your friend before she leaves on Monday. Although that will give you an excuse to visit her in the states! I love both the weekly and daily plan with me’s so either works for me! 🥰
I love both your week & daily videos. Your spreads are super cute!
Happy Sunday Helen. Nice new releases 💞
I love these videos! I like to play them in the background when I'm doing my school work😊 Congrats on passing your road test! I have yet to take my driver's test and my learner's license expires soon😳
Congrats on passing your driving test! 🎉 I love watching the weekly and daily plan with me videos. Thank you for being real about your emotions 💙 Hope this week is better!
I love your videos! Thank you for being so open and sharing your work even when you are feeling down. Sorry to hear about your friend moving away. I hope you can fit in time to rest and recover.
I especially love your daily spreads since I use a bullet journal and don't find weekly spreads to be particularly helpful for me. But I find yours to be inspirational, so please do whatever you feel like doing!
congrats on passing your road test!! i got my license at 25 and was so relieved when i passed
I loved watching you plan the kit!!! Please make moreeee
Really love the colour scheme in this kit and it is also adorable! Can’t wait to try it out! Love you Baby Bear! Wish I could give you a huge mama bear hug right now! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I always love watching your plan with me videos. So I purchased Hobonichi Avec A5 for 2023. I am also excited for Monday's Advent Calendar and other releases.
I think what's just so amazing about your emojis is that they understand both my good and bad days. In fact I had to send my little sister a card last week because she's just been diagnosed with treatable breast cancer. She is going in for an op. I used loads of your happy little emojis but my absolute favourite was one with a couple of bandaids - one on its head and one on its chest to represent the op. I know it will make her laugh and make her feel less scared. We love your amazing emotional literacy because you make us all feel a bit better about our ups and downs and a little less scared out in the world.
Congratulations on passing your driving test! You are such an inspiration, Helen! 💕
the sloth sticker box is so cute.
I NEVER wanted to drive, so it took me three road tests to pass. I did wonder if the instructor passed me because he felt sorry for me! I wound up with a job where I had to drive all over the place, so you never can tell! Congratulations on passing the road test on your first try.💥🎉💥 Sorry about your friend moving. That is so darned hard. I love your spreads and the kits. I’m looking forward to ordering more…sorry you’re so busy, but it’s because you’re so GOOD!! 😊 What is bubble tea?
Again a great video
Thank you Gulare!!!
Excited. Love the green.
Thank you Christina!!!
I had the same experience. Did my road test, and everyone told me to prepare to fail the first time, its natural and don't stress. I did my road test and passed the first time! I have my second road test on Monday and I'm super worried. I bought a car as my reward for passing the first road test and have been driving independently for a year. Hoping that experience helps me out Monday 😬
Reminds me of matcha! Those little people were so cute!
Big hugs Helen. You are an amazing person. Also, I received my order and everything is absolutely perfect ❤
So nice to see the kit come to life! Love this so much😊
Hehe truly from beginning to end! Thank you Jackie~
I'm loving these longer videos!! Love this spread as well, I'm also so excited for the preorder advent tmrw hehe
A poem for how youre feeling.
Rain by Jack Gilbert
Suddenly this defeat.
This rain.
The blues gone gray
and yellow
a terrible amber.
In the cold streets
your warm body.
In whatever room
your warm body.
Among all the people
your absence.
The people who are always
not you.
I have been easy with trees
too long.
Too familiar with mountains.
Joy has been a habit.
Now
suddenly
this rain.
Wow that gave me goosebumps, love it. Thanks for sharing 💖
congratulation for passing the test!
i love the pack with me videos :)
I can’t wait to get this kit! I love love love it! 😍
Ahhh thank you so much!!!
I didn't find this video negative at all! If we didn't have bad days how would we know what good days are! Congrats on passing the road test!!
Love you!!!!!❤
I got my license this week too!! 🎉 Yay us!
Also, Helen... you have order numbers written on your hand
Congratulations on passing your driver's test. They do not pass people out of pity. You drove well. You earned your license. You are allowed to be sad and have off days. We all are not happy all of the time. You keep everything real and l like that. You are human after all.
Congratulations on getting your drivers license!🎉❤
❤love your videos😊I get only good vibes❤
Had to split my comment in 2 cause I also wanted to say some stuff about the stickers hehe can't forget that! I absolutely LOVE the changes to the Cousin kit with the reformat you did!! You absolutely killed it! 👌 There's more of everything that I had hoped for more of... it's wonderful! 🤩
I love the new longer narrower speech bubble, as well as that little tiny one you use at 25:05 to mark talking to your friend.
(Tbh I could use a whole sheet of those! 😍)
Oh and almost forgot, excited about having the Deluxe page with more boxes but especially the bottom washi!! I've been hoping for bottom washi for the Cousin and my wish came true yaaaay 🥰
i'm also 22 and constantly feeling guilty about not having my licence yet, so hearing that you just took your test and you're the same age as me comforted me so much. it seems like lots of people just do it as soon as they turn legal age, and i never did! i'm aiming to get mine asap, though the lessons are expensive :( congrats for passing!!! i hope i will soon too hehe
Congrats on your driver's license! Everyone has down days...it would be weird if you didn't feel sad that you friend was moving away.🤗❤️🤗
