Helen, the fact that your nails aren't always in perfect shape makes you more endearing and relatable. As we like to say here in the Deep South, "It's all good!"
I love that you share both the good and the bad. As most of us look up to creators like yourself, it is nice to know that we ALL go through it sometimes and it's not always as sunshines and rainbows as it may seem on social media. I'm sorry you had bad mental health days, and I hope you're managing and resting well. Wishing you all the success on your anniversary sale! Sending you all the loveee ❤
Helen, turn your personal planner with the tabs inside so when you zip it close they won’t get wonky. Take care of yourself & nail day should be a self care day. Go get a facial & message too! You’re doing a great job! Love your creativity 🥰
Hi Helen! Regarding the Hobonichi Weeks tabs getting stuck in the cover zipper, you could put the Weeks front side down inside the zippered cover. That way the tabs would be on the inside away from the zipper. Hopefully I explained that well enough. I love your videos and thanks so much for all you do. Very excited for the anniversary sale. 😃
Your such a typical Canadian apologizing for everything. It’s all good. 😊 I know you enjoy your work but it really feels like all you do is work. Maybe all these “resets”, were your body’s way of telling you to slow down a bit. Maybe start off by scheduling in more me time into your planner. And absolutely put it in your work planner because slowing down and taking care of yourself is work too. Big hugs, hope you feel better soon. ❤
So nice to know that every spread doesn’t get done and that I’m not alone in that. All your spreads looked super cute tho and I’m so excited for the shop anniversary👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰🥰
Lovely spreads and doodles as always 💖 Hope March is a better month for your mental health. Btw, a front gap in your teeth is considered a sign of beauty in some cultures, including mine 😊
Me too girl! In the middle of February, I was really going through it and was thinking so much that I felt unmotivated to touch my planner for over a month. But I was able to get myself together a little and I’m getting back into my planner which I am really happy about ❤️
This is my second year using the Cousin and I can't imagine my life without it. I am going back to school full time, work full time, have a family, so it is such a useful planner. I can honestly say that you are the source of my inspo for the Cousin. I always look forward to your videos -- as always thanks for sharing!
Love Love Love those pages with your sketched/colored flowers - beautiful! Always enjoy your pages, you are so committed to your journaling - so much to learn from you Helen!🥰
The way to avoid ripping your monthly tabs off of your weekly planner is to put it in the case 180° rotated so that the tabs do not come in contact with the zipper
Took a mini-journaling break in February once i got back from vacation. Felt super exhausted but! Getting the feel to journal again so off to restart in March now!
I totally paused the video to copy your congee recipe. I painted my nails yesterday and they already look like I etched on them for some reason. I love book clubs, I am in 2 from my local library. One is virtual (never went back to in person after covid) and the other one is in person. I love watching your videos. My alarm should be ringing in about 4 minutes for the anniversary sale. Yeah, I'm binge watching your videos today 😃
Thank you for this extra video Helen, and thank you for sharing your planners with us! I totally know how you feel with those bad days, and I'm so sorry you have to go through them ❤ I hope the anniversary launch goes well on Sunday, I'm so excited for it!
I haven't read any other comments since you've had your stomach issues but I wanted to vaguely mention that I had stomach pains in the past when my protein intake was too high. I eat very similar to you and it's wonderful that you eat so clean, just thought maybe it wouldn't hurt to mention it. Thank you for another wonderful video
I love all your videos, even though I don’t always comment. But the same thing is happened with my Hobo Weeks tab in my zippered pouch. The tabs are a good distance away from zipper but maybe you’re right and they’re still snagging. I have been repairing the tabs with tab. 💜💗
What a pleasant surprise! 🤩 I was about going to sleep by the time I saw this 🤭 I always love your video Helen! 🤗 Also, I have to mention that I really like the Emoti News sticker/washi tape (?) at the bottom of your final weekly spread of February 😍 Can’t wait to watch your new PWM video this weekend! 🤩 💕 You inspired me! 😎👍👍💡✨
Simple way to save your tabs…just put your planner in the other way…put the tabs on the inside or spine of the cover and the spine of your planner towards the zipper!!!
I think the issue you might have been having with the first "chaotic" spread was that there was no visual anchor on the page - the second "chaotic" page your eyes can flow across the images at the top and then down to the small pops of color throughout the page.
Someone may have mentioned this but I was thinking about your tabs tearing/getting caught and thought you could place the planner in the zipper cover with the tabs facing towards the center of the zipper cover so the spine of your planner is facing the zipper.
I love it that you make the monthly flio thru a separate video from ur usual Sunday videos Now! 🤣 Cannot wait for this Sunday! (will there still be a washi restock by any chance? Was hoping to grab some washi from the advent
I want to know who the hell was so mean to Helen about her nails. I just want to talk. Ma'am your nails are good as is. You don't need to have them perfect. You are an entrepreneur Queen and an amazing artist and they can take several seats. I cannot wait for the Anniversary sale to get all the cutness!!!!
Lovely video as always! Regarding your Hobonichi Weeks, if you flip it so the tabs face the spine of the cover, would it help or just further squish them? Just an idea
What fountain pen ink do you find works well for Hobonichi Weeks? I’m struggling to find one that doesn’t ‘bead’ on the paper. Is that the right word? I just purchased a Sailor ink and it sits on the surface and sort of clumps together.
Love these spreads but please please please do not support Amazon by buying snacks you can easily find at the grocery store Helen :((( Also, for the zipper closure on the weeks it helps to keep a pen in there!
Hello!! I don't typically buy snacks on Amazon: it was a gift for my sister who lives far away from me, and it was the best option as she is irregularly home for me to schedule grocery deliveries. I try to avoid shopping on Amazon as much as possible!
Helen, the fact that your nails aren't always in perfect shape makes you more endearing and relatable. As we like to say here in the Deep South, "It's all good!"
Hahaha thank you Cynthia!

lol i love the “wore my lululemon shoes, feeling expensive” 😂 an absolute mood
Right?! I felt like an imposter lol
Your handwriting and doodles are so adorable and nice.
Thank you so much Becca!
Helen, turn your personal planner with the tabs inside so when you zip it close they won’t get wonky. Take care of yourself & nail day should be a self care day. Go get a facial & message too! You’re doing a great job! Love your creativity 🥰
To protect your tabs on your hobonichi weeks, you should turn your journal around the other way in the pouch, that way the tabs won't face the zipper
Thank you for the tip!!
So inspiring and I love the tombow use the pens you don’t use spreads/doodles!!! So resourceful and pretty!
Love your spreads and the blobmoti!! Anyone who judges your nails is silly, you don't have to apologize for being human and not having them perfect!!!
All your spreads were so cute and I'm glad I'm not alone in not getting every spread done and not reaching for a certain notebook each month.
There’s something just so appealing about your hand writing, layout, and art - it’s like ASMR for the eyes lol

I was going to suggest the exact same thing. Things like this happen to me all the time.
Like your soft voice, very comforting!😄
Thank you Gracie!!!

Helen, this is a great video! I didn’t even notice your nails. You are amazing. Blessings.
I'm loving this series 💞 thanks Helen!
PS: you work too hard, rest too 💘💖
Thank you so much Iffat
Your hand writing is so good and on top of that it looks well with the drawings

I love your snack drawer updates!! 😊
eee!! honestly, my favorite is the bullet journal to look at 🤍🤍🤍
Me too girl! In the middle of February, I was really going through it and was thinking so much that I felt unmotivated to touch my planner for over a month. But I was able to get myself together a little and I’m getting back into my planner which I am really happy about ❤️
Your lettering is incredible! Love it!

Don’t think I’ve been this early before! Thanks for releasing another longer video - perfect to watch my on my lunch break ❤❤
Hope you enjoyed it! Thank you Rhiannon!
Happy Wednesday Helen. Hello March 💚🍀
Happy March Kimiko!!!
I reinforce my tabs with clear tape on either side. Works like a dream and you can’t really tell that anything ripped.
Thank you for the tip!!
Your vdo made my day, i have quite a stressful week so far. Thx Helen :)
I hope the rest of the week treats you well
Snowing here in New Hampshire today March 1, 2023 all day too.
Stay cozy!!!
Snow clearance machine…oh my gosh you’re so cute 🥰 That had me giggling 🤭
I’m so glad you posted!! I can’t wait for the in depth reading journal walk through 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you Iliana!!! I'm excited to show you all!
I just bought my hobonichi cousin spring edition & this was super inspiring. thank you for this series helen

Thank you Lindsay! I actually don't get in enough protein ughhhhhh... I need to get things checked up soon but I keep putting it off hahaha
@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo it's so hard to do all the right things 😅I hope you get it figured out soon!
Lol! “gap in your teeth” about your hobonichi weeks. 😄
IM SO EARLY AHHHHHHHH I JUST GOT MY TCMC ORDER TOO AND I SPENT 70 DOLLARS ON IT IM SO HAPPY AHHHHH
Thank you so so soo much for your support Sophia!

Helen what about a pastel mint green for your nail colour time to break out the spring colours 🎉
Awww I wish I saw this sooner! That would have been perfect!
@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo there's always next month lol

Snow plow 😂. I shouldn’t know what that is being from west Texas but there you go. 😂
Me: Liking the video before watching it (✷‿✷) 🌼🌼🌼

Happy humpday
What fountain pen ink do you find works well for Hobonichi Weeks? I’m struggling to find one that doesn’t ‘bead’ on the paper. Is that the right word? I just purchased a Sailor ink and it sits on the surface and sort of clumps together.
What if you face the weeks tabs towards the inside of the cover?
Random, but your voice is so relaxing, you could easily make your videos ASMR videos. Have you ever considered doing ASMR?
Love these spreads but please please please do not support Amazon by buying snacks you can easily find at the grocery store Helen :((( Also, for the zipper closure on the weeks it helps to keep a pen in there!

@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo oh cool! I understand☺️ it is unfortunately our only option sometimes😪thanks for your reply!❤️
I put the tabs on the opposite side of the zipper 😅 so they don’t get caught @thecoffeemonsterzco 4:30
