  • There's common placing and then there's archiving! Although they are similar and probably used interchangeably, archiving, IMO, is more on writing about things that spark good memories. If you've wanted to use the Hobonichi system but haven't found traditional planning/journaling in it very feasible, then you might benefit from an archiving journal.

    4:54 if you want to jump straight into it. I wanted to preface a few things before diving in, especially for those who are not too familiar with this system!

    Girl, TRUTH. We didn’t choose the spooky life, the spooky life chose us with all these Nickelodeon and other TV shows. We read Goosebumps, watched Are You Afraid of the Dark…x-Files…. Tales from the Crypt…. Scream…Charmed…The Craft…Queen of the damned….Blade…We were doomed to love Halloween 🖤🧡💜

    This is how I’ve been using my hobonichi too. Like a combo of commonplace and journal.

    I’ve never felt more seen!! I’m 36, and I love all things spooky! Also, this is a great idea! My OCD always prevents me from traditional journaling. I get caught up with filling pages, my writing style-just the pressure I place on myself to make it look like Amelia’s Notebook or something. I need something stress free and fun 🍒

    Thank you for sharing! I love the concept of re-using a calendar as an index - how clever! Like 90% of bullet journaling eliminated by using a calendar!
    As a 90’s kid myself, I can also affirm it was the era of “spooky”. Now I think spooky is a lifestyle which I totally live 😂
    Lastly, what is your favorite printer to use? Inkjet vs. laser vs. zinc etc.? Would love to know how you get your photos to look so crisp! Special paper or is the printer quality really important?

    • @xoxolorae
      @xoxolorae  Месяц назад +2

      Spooky will forever be the vibe! Especially if it's campy and not too scary 😆
      I actually have both inkjet and a laser printer for design proofing! I printed most of these out on my laser jet (Canon), but I will say that some brighter colors do not show up well, so I resort to my inket printer (Epson EcoTank) for pastel/bright color prints. Laser all the way if you specifically love black or darker images!

    Wish Upon A Star was my FAVORITE Disney channel original movie! Hardly anyone remembers it and it breaks my heart because the outfits truly WERE iconic 😭 Alexia's silvery lipstick!?? I loved her makeup so muchhh

      I was shocked when I realized it was a Disney channel original movie lol But I guess that's why it wasn't very well known? I feel crazy when other 90s kids have never even heard of this movie!

    Loving that you’re journaling about things that make you happy!!! Having kids is a chaotic life for sure….but if your life isn’t chaotic like that, observing and expressing the things that spark you joy is beautiful and brings a lot of richness into your daily life. It’s healing, it’s a break from other daily life grinds…I love that you are indulging…the true luxuries of life 💗💟

    I actually really, really needed this. I use the A6, not the Cousin... but my style of journaling tends to be non-dated and more common-placey (lol). Using the calendar as the index is genius!

    Thank you for the the great idea(s) for using your Hobonichi. I love the idea of journaling/memory keeping/etc., but have struggled finding any momentum. Also, I'm in my 50's, my adult children have their own lives, but no grandkids yet, so my life can feel somewhat "boring". I'm trying to find a format that is not only fun for me, but is more than just a retelling of my daily tasks. This really gets me thinking about ideas that are more "outside the box"!

    I love how you use your hobonichi cousin ❤ such a fab idea! I have a journal prompt journal and use the prompts to answer in my journal but this is good how you use the monthly section as a contents page. I am a 90s baby and love everything 90s! And i am a girly girl but also love spooky things and lovvveeee halloween alot! I get excited more than my kids to go trick n treat 😂 all the vibesss ❤❤

    I like this A LOT! May I ask, what plastic cover are you using? I have the Midori's one (the regular, not the codex) and it's a bit tight 😅. I definitely can't put a paper inside to cover the cover (lol) with a nice pattern, or just a black cardstock...

    • @xoxolorae
      @xoxolorae  Месяц назад +2

      oh the black is because it’s a hobonichi hon! not a regular cousin. But I got the cover from etsy! It actually doesn’t fit perfectly since it’s supposed to be for the regular cousin, so it’s actually a bit too big.
