Watching your flip through is always therapeutic 😌
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching!
Ja 👍👍👍
That quote from your April 3rd daily hit me right in the feels. Imposter syndrome is a biotch.
I am also a Hobonichi girl, through and through. I keep trying other planners and always come back to Hobonichi!~
Я смотрю уже 5 видео и обратила внимание, что рисунки очень интересные и индивидуальные❤красиво, а оказывается все наклейки- это вы нарисовали🎉вау!!! Восторг
Honestly I kinda love the wonky Godzilla
hahaha thank you!
I want a sticker sheet of chonky Godzilla
@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo Godzilla -1.0 was good!!
Your videos are calming! The doodles including the flowers, sun, ice cream and cats are just delightful and cute! Like the idea of monthly reflection/goals, especially your goal of 10 minute morning walk! I need to focus on more movement and walking, so 10 minute is a great amount of time and work with the Pomodoro technique. Could do a 10 minute outdoor walk, KZhead walk like Leslie Sansone (walk at home), or Gina B ( up to the beat fit) dance walking workouts on her KZhead channel, for example, her Tina Turner Dance workout or her divas walking workout. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you so so much!!! I totally agree--I love walking during my breaks throughout the day too!
Omg! Helen we need a large cat doodles sticker sheet please! Those are adorable.
hehe great idea!!! Thank you Ana!
This is why I look forward to Sundays ❤
Aww thank you!!! Have a happy Sunday!!!
Your comment about Kong Vs gorilla movie, the only thing I've focused on was saliva when its roaring 😂 you made my day, Helen
🤣🤣🤣
After five planner purchases for this year…I realize that the Hobonichi cousin (for memory keep and daily family stuff) and the A6 size (for personal use) are the planners for me. No more unnecessary planner purchases for me next year 😅
Cozy planner, Sunday vibes. ❤
Have a great day!!!
Loved it!!! The Godzilla was the best part😊
Love that new ink journal. Smart to sample on different papers! ❤
Thanks so much Denise!!
I've been struggling lately with using my journal consistently lately, and I'll sometimes end up with an empty rolling weekly setup. I've started going to my pile of random stickers from store orders/extra photo sticker prints and slapping one in the middle of the blank table. It feels oddly cathartic, like it is what is...let's move on to the next one. Plus, I'm using up a sticker that would otherwise endlessly float around my desk. 😅
Another Planner Update Video! This Ink Journal is so amazing and very pretty to use
The composition of your text & artwork placement is so inspiring 📔💕
Thank you so so much!
I know the idea of weekly spreads in a color theme is not new, but today for some reason seeing it paired with a fountain pen ink for personal and black for work. I don't know, now it seems like I can do that. Brains are weird. Thank you for another authentic flip through. Also, that Yoseka Travelers insert is sooooooo cute. I missed it when they launched it. It's a perfect swatch journal, especially since they are known for their pen testing area at the brick & mortar. I bought the Tokyo insert for my ideas list (and eventual trip journal) for a future trip to Japan. I don't use Travelers because leather, but I love their inserts for specific lists, trips, projects, etc.
Aww I'm glad you got some inspo from it!!! It's such a gorgeous notebook
CATHERINE from Georgia USA Here! Thank you for all you do. The recent flip thru was inspiring, I use a HOBO AVEC and enjoy the two book system. I have an older cover called PEACH SKY with Midori cover on cover. I just signed up for your newsletter YAY! I am an introvert who can act extrovert when required. Blessings on you and your crew.
Hi Catherine! Thank you so much for watching ^_^ Thank you so much for signing up for the newsletter! Wishing you a great day~
The burnt out toast doodle!! 😍
I regularly forget the end of the sentence I'm writing. So many times. Thank you for normalizing so many things. ❤
❤❤❤❤
those inks are soooo good ☺☺
favorite part of sundays 🥰
Aww have a great day!!
Love your videos. Thank you for beeing you. You are my inspiration ❤
Aww thanks so much!!
I really enjoyed your planner update. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Connie!!!
One of my favorite ways to start my Sundays❤️
Have the best weekend!
Happy Sunday Helen❤❤❤
Happy Sunday Kimiko!!
Hi, Helen. I'm so happy for you that you're back to running and did those 5K runs. Your father is very good looking and Luca is adorable in every photo! If you have time (and money) when you go to the Stationery Festival, you might want to go to the Empire State Building. Quite franly, it's a rip-off. It's almost $100 per person, but they have King Kong there! My husband, Ken, took a picture of me in King Kong's grasp while I pretended to look terrified -- hee, hee. Then Ken bought a $95 special ESB edition of a LAMY fountain pen.
Hiii Sherry! Aww thank you for your sweet compliment!!! Hahaha I will for sure be doing touristy things so thank you for the recommendation!!!
I look at the "internet friends" sticker every day because I put it on the bottom of my computer monitor. It's SO CUTE!
Aww I'm glad you love that one! It's shiny eh?
Your videos + voice are always so calming (one of my favorite things about chill Sundays). Sb; when you come to NY for the stationary festival, are you staying the full day the first day? I don’t wanna miss out but I’m also on probation at work 😩
Hi Liish! Thank you so so much
I think my favorite favorite saying is there was a lot of saliva with all the roaring😂
🤣 sums up the movie well!
FIRST!! JOLY SHIT THIS IS INSANE
Yay!!
that godzilla is my favourite thing can we have a sheet of cryptids?! ;u;
Hahaha thank you!! That would be a fun sheet!!!!
Love your video, Helen! Have a wonderful May month. Are you planning to get the Avecs next year? ❤
Thank you Sherilyn!! I think I will be back to the full cousin 😂
Helen! What color nail polish is that? So pretty. :)) Also very excited about your new drop coming soon!
Gahh I have no idea as they go by numbers >.< I will try to find out! Thank you so much!!!
Do you create your own daily prompts or get them elsewhere? I am loving watching your videos. Followed you over from IG.
Lovely flip through as always Helen! Theses doodles @3:50 made my heart happy 😊. What printer do you use for the photos included in your planner?
Thanks so much Wendy 😊 I just use a regular inkjet printer and cut out the pics!!
How do you do your photos? A zink printer or a sheet of photo paper?
no, thats exactly what godzilla looks like
I just broke my foot 3 weeks ago; my planner is empty because all I can do is sit or lie down, lol. I think it's k to have empty spots on our planner because sometimes things do not happen....or happened, but nothing to write about, lol 😆
What do you use to print the pictures? Sorry fit is a repeat question.
Смотрю на ежедневник от Хобочини и понимаю что тоже хочу такие полупрозрачные листочки😂но у нас нет его в продаже😮пола искать похожий эффект полупрозрачности, хотя бы так
♥♥♥
Why does the Godzilla drawing remind me of a hedgehog ?? 🦔😂 at least I think that’s what this emoji is hehe 😅
curious... your 5k said 8 miles.... its 3 :) not that it matters - i certainly can't run a 5k. Thanks for sharing Helen, your videos are always so relaxing.
Ah I didn't write 8.33 miles! I abbreviated to 8.33 minutes per mile ^_^
@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo ahh! Lol that makes more sense. Nope, definitely cannot run that myself! I hope you have a great day!!
What do you use to print photos?
my canon inkjet printer! I just cut out the pictures ^_^
What do you use to print photos for journal?
my canon inkjet printer! I just cut out the pictures ^_^
@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo Thank you!
catsssss
2nd ❤
Yayy!!
Good grief, I thought that Baby Reindeer had something to do with, you know, reindeer. I made the mistake of looking up the Wiki entry. How appalling.
Definitely needs a trigger warning for the content! Otherwise it was an excellent show
I just wanna ask. Are you whispering 😅😅😅😅?? Sorry for this. Kinda stupid on my part. Sorry
Sad to see you are still using Noodler’s ink.
If you are referring to the ink swatch journal, I swatched the one ink bottle that I bought in 2018
I dumped my Noodler’s inks as soon as I learned about the CEO. I’m a waste-not/want-not sort of girl, but I could no longer use Noodler’s with a clear conscience.
The Noodler's Ink Drama in one spot (Content Warning for the entire post) Because this seems to come up a lot, I figured I'd put all of the drama surrounding what happened with Noodler's Ink into one spot so people can just link it. I'll try to keep my own personal ideas of this to a minimum except where I think context is more important than clear-cold-facts. This won't be super concise, but the TLDR of all the drama is this: Noodlers put out, over the course of years, a couple different inks featuring Antisemitic labels. When called out originally, not much was done about this, but social media traction on this became very viral very quickly. Nathan issued an apology, and donated to the ADL, and took down not only those bottles but the labels of ANY ink with any depictions of other cultures/communities on the label as well. The fallout has been mixed with many people happy they did something about it and moving on and others boycotting the company for life. Obviously, Content Warnings for political stuff, antisemitism, etc. from here on out. I should also mention this is just going into antisemitic controversy and its fallout. Any opinions on quality control issues, feathering, pens, etc. are not included in this. Suffice to say, there are reasons people may dislike this brand outside of this drama, but none of that will be included here. Nathan Tardiff owns/operates Noodler's ink. He has always been very open when speaking about his political viewpoints and is a very political person. And, according to the podcast I linked in this post, he also fashions himself as a history buff which is somewhat relevant. As a side note for relevancy I think overall, is that Nathan has put out other inks over the years that have spoken to his direct political beliefs and have had general insensitivities. The two are heavily tied. [Rino](www.thepenoutpost.com/product/noodlers-fountain-pen-ink-3oz-bottle-19104-rino/) featured mask-wearing Rhinoceroses\* when the pandemic hit, and this was spoken about in the podcast linked as being a personal protest of sorts to mask mandates as he was an anti-masker. There are also more vague inks that have some harmful implications such as "Dragon's Napalm" and lots of inks named after Native Americans despite the fact Nathan nor the brand has any associations with native people which many would consider appropriation. \*Edit: It is worth mentioning enough to create an edit that this was not randomly chosen. Nathan specifically put Rhinos and called it that based on a play from the 1950's where a contagion transformed people into rhinos and it was specific commentary on mass delusions and blindly following the crowd. Now, we're at the start of the drama. A few years back, Bernanke Red came out from Noodler's. It is hard to say WHEN this ink came out first, my preliminary research has not produced good results here, but it has been out at least since 2018. To my knowledge, the antisemitic label of Bernanke's red has existed since the creation of the ink, only recently being changed and taken down post drama fallout. [January 6th](imgur.com/a/FnT64p3) 2022 He came out with a new ink called Volcker Green. Some maybe important things to note are: this was posted on the 1 year anniversary the insurrection of the US, and as stated in the post Volcker's rule is meant to prevent corruption of banks. The label features former federal reserve chairs with Volcker (A christian man) with a halo on his head, and 2 others flanking him named Bernanke and Greenspan (both are Jewish) with horns on their head. This is where I think it is worth stopping to mention that the harmful stereotype that Jews have horns has been a staple and pervasive in cultures across the globe for a Very, very long time. [This comment](www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens/comments/s2c2zr/comment/hsfe352/?context=3) provides some great links and a succinct way of explaining this for those who want more details here. I think it is also worth mentioning that many people may be unaware of this history and stereotype. By the 12th, [people were dropping the ](instagram.com/p/CYowEiqr_q6/)ink. Someone had [posted on this reddit](www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens/comments/s2c2zr/comment/hsdsere/) asking what was going on, and it was explained then that things were pretty not-okay. (My opinion here is because this was framed as a question and subsequently deleted and not outright showing what was going on like the May post, this did not get the same traction the other did and thus not the same exposure. This post had about 130 comments. The may post has 1,1k comments.) In this podcast discussion about this [from Tokyo Inklings](tokyoinklings.com/episodes/057/), (discussion starts at 30:50) Nathan has been called out for this before May 2022 when the real fallout started--but he did not change it until the May fallout. To quote the podcast: "The timeline on the surface was that people complained about these inks when they were released and then it was kind of like 'yeah yeah yeah.. whatever.' " May 9th, 2022 [this post on this reddit](www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens/comments/um4uih/i_would_never_buy_noodler_ink_tw_antisemitic/) came out saying they'd never buy Noodler's ink again and clearly showed Bernanke Red's label. (This was the post I originally saw about the brand.) It features Bernanke in curved horns, with a forehead brand/tattoo of a common communist symbol, and words such as "debt addiction enabler" on it. This really seemed to be the post that sparked all of this coming to light undeniably. 1k comments later needless to say it was one of the busiest this reddit had been. Stuff gets muddy here (and the podcast I linked sort of lays this strange timeline out better than I could), but on [May 10th](www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens/comments/umubaf/comment/i852o56/) Goulet pens not really as a business but on a more personal note spoke of calling Nathan and saying he sounded very apologetic. "in all the years we’ve known Nathan, we’ve never known him to be antisemitic. Brian spent over an hour and a half on the phone with him tonight, and he was genuinely apologetic for his ignorance, to sum it up. If you know anything about Nathan, you know he is singularly laser focused on the issues of fiscal conservatism and freedom of speech, but unfortunately that has created some blind spots." May 11th Noodler's themselves came out with [an apology](facebook.com/Noodlers/photos/a.239610919440131/5084927044908470/) stating they had no idea that the pictures were directly linked to antisemitism, but that they would change them and donate to the ADL. (screenshot [here](imgur.com/ARipGUI) if it's ever taken down) That same day, [Goulet said they were not carrying](instagram.com/p/Cdbd8nluxI6/) Noodler's products anymore. ([screenshot](imgur.
