I’m in awe of how eloquently you speak, your videos are a pleasure to watch and listen to! I’m sorry you’ve been dealing with so much anxiety, it’s a horrible feeling. However, can I just say that the phrase “Anxiety Day 2: ‘this f*cking sucks’ boogaloo” is EXCELLENT, it’s been on repeat in my head since watching!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰 Happy to say that the anxiety is feeling a lot better and this cursed boogaloo has ended 😌😂
Love the spreads & your lovely decorations, but it’s kinda scary how alike our lives are… migraines, autism and the end of your September is like my end of august. So glad to have found your channel, nice to know I’m not alone.
Thanks for the kind words about the spreads! I'm sorry to hear you struggle with migraines and had a tough time over the summer too :( but, also very glad you commented this as I feel less alone too!
Your journal is beautiful. Thanks for showing what your journal looked like on that days you weren’t feeling well. It’s nice to see an example of journal reflecting the real life of the owner. The self-imposed pressure to make a “perfect” journal is real (for me), but letting go of that this year has really helped me.
Thank you so much Melissa!! 🥰 I totally agree - for me, expecting my journal to be perfect takes a lot of the joy out of it!
I have those Japanese stamps too, I love them
Same !
They're so pretty!!!
As an archivist it is my duty to come on everyone's journaling videos who uses a frixion pen to remind you guys that the ink will most likely disappear in five years max so don't use them if you want to keep and reference those journals for a long time
I've heard conflicting things on this. I've heard the ink does disappear in hot climates; but that it's recoverable if you put the book in the freezer (lol). And that in colder climates, it's not really a problem. But then other people say it disappears regardless. So I never know what to think!
@@ellies_books_ Answering as a professional archivist do not count on it. It really can be 50/50 in the next ten years but it will for sure never be something you will be able to show future generations for example. Unless you can predict for sure that you will be able to maintain perfect humidity and temperature stability in your storage space I would recommend thinking of another pen if you want to be sure you can keep everything. I said the same thing to Megan Rhiannon who said she doesn't really mind because she doesn't really see herself going back to her book in ten years, so it really depends on the intended use but yeah
@@mlleariane6667 thank you so much for the clarification, this is extremely helpful! To be honest, I tend to use fountain pen for all of my more "important" entries anyway, so I'm not too concerned. But once my stock of Frixion pens runs out (and they don't last that long tbh), I'll likely find a replacement. (The struggle is finding a good gel pen that doesn't bleed through the Tomoe River paper!)
@@mlleariane6667 I thought Pilot frixions (erasable) are archival ink in two years after use? Ain't they???
I don't know what they advertise as but I've absolutely seen documents from ten years ago that are completely illegible the pages look almost blank@@tiitulind9792
oh Ellie I adore your videos 🤭 phish food (nondairy for me) is also a fave Ben & Jerry’s for me hehehehe
Thank you so much Kirsten!!! 🥰 phish food is truly the best, so glad they do a non-dairy version too!!
also, it would be so handy to open up our bodies to find what’s wrong, I feel you with the health anxieties
Ugh RIGHT?! It would save so much unnecessary stress and anxiety ahah. Health anxiety is the worst!
i think i too have resting existential crisis face 😩
Honestly, in this day and age, I'm more surprised when people DON'T have it 🥲
Wonderful video. Love seeing your pages and very much appreciate your honesty about real life stuff - work, health, grief. Also love your hopeful outlook and focus on gratitude and things that make you happy. Very inspiring - thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really glad the video resonated 🥰
i like the way u write a capital 'G' :)
Thank you so much!!! I actually used to do it differently, with more of a "tail", but I never liked how it looked. I intentionally do the current style now, it's so nice that someone noticed :')
Typing things up to avoid too many blank pages is a great idea! Thanks for the inspiration!
You're very welcome, and thanks for the kind words! It definitely saved me a lot of time and stress on those not-great days!
Really nice spreads, I like switching formats and decor, I think it speaks to the version of us that we were at that point in time. Loving the videos and I find them inspirational ❤
Very wise words! We're always changing, so it makes sense our spreads would change too :) thanks so much for the kind words!
Gorgeous pages! I have health anxiety too, it's rubbish isn't it. Loved the idea of typing up pages to backfill. I've done that before on my typewriter which was fun.
Oooooh, a typewriter!!! That must be so satisfying 😍 Thank you for the kind words; and, sorry to hear you have the health anxiety too! It's the worst!
i love your spreads and handwriting
Thank you so much!!! 🥺
The video was really good and I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Where you talk about and struggle with are very relatable to me and in combination with writing/commonplacing/journalling is just the best. It makes me feel I’m not the only one struggling as well, because that’s something I can certainly feel from time to time. You gave me inspiration for alternatives to fill up daily pages and I might be brave enough to start a cousin next year. Thank you 🫶
Thank you so much for the kind words!! I'm so glad that me talking about my struggles provides solace - it's always good to know that we're not the only ones going through these things! ♥ And glad this provided journal inspiration too. The Cousin is so fun to fill out! It gets so chunky by the end 🤓
Just found your channel (popped up in my YT feed) and really enjoying it! It's that time of year when I'm trying to decide on my planner & journal setup for next year, and my INTP brain needs to take in lots of information before it can make a decision. I've spent far too much at Miso Paper and other UK stationery shops lately, so I need ways to use up my supplies 😂
Ahhh thank you so much for the kind words - so glad you're enjoying the channel 😄 relatable though, Miso Paper has so much good stuff!!!
Your Hobonichi Cousin looks so lovely. It is indeed inspirational. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks so much Heather 🥰
Love this! Lots of hobonichi inspiration 👀🤍
Thanks so much Eleisha!! 🥰
i don't remember if i've been commenting on these videos from this account or from my personal one, but who needs consistency lol yay! i caught up on all your videos now ^^
i should probably stop watching so many journaling videos though because the desire to impulse buy a HON and that plain notebook w/ the botanical cover for next yearrrrr agh
also i love the national! also also, ugh the executive function paralysis story of my life thanks for giving me a name for it
Ahhh thank you for watching all the videos and for the kind words 🥰 Not to be a bad influence, but... The botanical notebook is so beautiful, and I've heard such good things about the HON! Also glad to have helped define the executive function paralysis. It's so common and so frustrating!
@@ellies_books_ i keep putting off ordering because i already have a weekly calendar that covers july of this year until the end of next year. so i keep adding and removing items from my cart 😭 i think i'm just going to set a reminder to order them next fall haha
@@knitwitchcraftingpodcast that’s totally fair haha 😅 another option is getting the 2024 second half Cousin Avec that lasts from July to December! That’s what I did this year :)
@@ellies_books_ oh shoot that's really smart! for some reason i didn't realize you can just buy half? even though i know the avec exists
I spent part of my career as a neurological-neurosurgical nurse. Migraines are the neurologist's biggest mystery. Congrats on hitting 1000, I am one of those because of your commonplace book video. Kudos to you! 🎉
Thanks so much for the kind words 🥰 migraines are very frustratingly mysterious... I still don't fully know what triggers mine!!
Hi Ellie! I absolutely love your videos and as a person who is very new to discovering they may be on the spectrum I have a found a lot of comfort just hearing you share about your life through your journals. I love that engaging in a specific interest is self care. I have never thought about it that way. 🙂 I hope you’ve been enjoying the spooky month so far.
P.S. I find it totally fascinating that you have bats that visit you. I haven’t seen one in Hawai‘i, I’m actually not sure if we have any. 🦇
Thank you so much for this kind comment! I'm so glad that the videos have brought you some comfort :) I have indeed been enjoying spooky season - I hope you have too!
And that's so fascinating about not seeing bats in Hawai‘i!! Google tells me that there is a species native to the islands - you'll have to keep an eye out!
I divide my weekly spread into AM, PM and evening too, so aesthetically pleasing. May I ask what the number in the left bottom corner represents? I'm guessing it's numbers of the Tombow Dual Brush Pens.. 😃
Correct - it's the number of the Tombow colour I used that week! Otherwise I forget and accidentally use a different colour for just part of the spread, and it annoys me... 😅
What is the washi in appr. 8:00 ? 😍😍😍
It's from BGM, and it's called starry night! I got it from Miso Paper here in the UK :)
