Exactly the practical set up video I was looking for! I recently started using a bullet journal to combat/keep track my depression, and I've been scouring RUclips the past few days for a video like this one where it highlights the ACTUAL PLANNING aspect of journal set up, I too used some loose paper to figure out what pages I wanted to set up and how I wanted them to be organised, your video is so helpful with that! It gave me some great inspiration for making motivational tracking pages and even the wish list page was a good system! Most other bullet journal set up videos I've seen focus on the decoration and drawing aspect of the journals, which is great for self expression... but I'm already an illustrator so the last thing I want in my depression aid is to stress out over it looking as pretty as all the other girls' beautifully turned out journals, you know? It's a weird hang up, but the journal is meant to simplify my life and help me focus, not add unnecessary anxiety by making it into work. When creative expression is your job, you have to become very choosy about where you put your energy. Hope my rambling was somewhat insightful? Thank you for making this! PS: your nails are fabulous.
Awww thanks so much! But ya I know exactly what you mean! I can see how so much more time and energy can be spent just trying to decorate and get things perfect than use the journal for its purpose. I honestly would be so discouraged if I tried from the beginning to have an elaborate layout but couldn't keep it up consistently. xD Glad I could help
Maya N I hear you in the whole anxiety and anti anxiety aide adding anxiety. I have OCD as well so just selecting and buying those decorative tapes is agonizing. So here are a few things I'm trying. washi tapes is limited to solid colors with no cutsey prints. Those colors are assigned to topics like Health/Home/Healing whatever it is for you. I have pens that match the topic colors. That way on my daily to do list I can use the color that relates to it. This sounds crazy as I describe it but I think the main idea is to use those tapes or colored pens only if they are actually serving a purpose that helps you. I am being assessed for sensory processing disorder so as much as I love cute stuff my journal is color coded w no OCD and sensory overload inducing decorations. Bullet journal is perfect for tracking health stuff. making a list of your triggers for anxiety can help. I find that stress and anxiety are what can wear me out and make it appear that I look and feel depressed. really I just need to recharge before giving it another go. not telling you what to do. I am learning that it is easy for woman to be given general diagnosis of only the visible symptoms but not the underlying root of the source. As I get new info I have to relearn what I was told before. diet and exercise are also great tools that can help manage mood for me. Namaste
I used to struggle from depression, and I wish I had done something so amazing as keeping a bullet journal to track my progress. This sounds like a really helpful idea, I wish you the best in your journey 💞
thank you for sharing your tips! i really love the washi tape by solid colors idea tho im going to take that into consideration! im so glad to find this comment because i have ocd as well. and its hard when i see these bullet journals being all pretty and having a certain layout and in my head i can tell that its not really going to do anything for me, if that makes sense. its a weird process that goes in my head, i want everything to be nice and perfect but at the same time, i know myself and i know im going to focus way more time on the things that dont even matter when the journal should be helping me make my life more simple!
anna krechetova You just have to do it. believe me I know how hard it is. my hands get so shaky some time I can't draw a straight line or my hand writing looks like scratch. just remember that no one else is even going to see it so the only judge is you and me. we have to make peace with ourselves for this to work. as far as artsy stuff forget about it being in your bujo. bujo is great so just omit the hand lettering holiday theme stuff. we need help not more competition. as far as lay out goes I try to be simple and functional. I just make columns and those are focus areas for me. Body is obvious self care stuff like showering and doing yoga and jumping on the trampalean etc. mind is another column with things like prayer, nature, coloring book etc. so use the bujo to plan and schedule but be open to creating a layout that fits your life. be willing to mess it up because it is so worth it. with OCD it is so easy to get stuck wasting your time and energy on things that we did not really mean to. that takes the time and energy that should have been used on self ❤ and or spiritual progress.
Let me tell you something. I draw comics and have been drawing my entire life (my character is my avatar) and I never cared to highly decorate my own bujo. This may surprise people but for me it needs to be very simple like yours because most artist have already condense and cramped ideas in our heads that we need a break from with simplicity and cleanliness if we work on other things. It keeps the mind focused. So for anyone who may feel defeated before you start please don’t. Doodle if you have to me to waste or if it mentally helps you but don’t make it a priority. This is really a good simple set up here. My eyes can go straight to the point.
thank you for the minimalist portion of this video. I was getting really intimidated by all the videos of what amount to illuminated manuscripts. :-) Your layout is clear, functional and doable!
As someone who works in social media and marketing, watching these humbles me so much and helps me to connect with other like-minded folks. Super inspiring! 💙 also love your minimal and clean style.
Girl, I just started the bullet journal thing 3 months ago and I'm still getting the hang of it and finding my own style! I know that I want to incorporate more writing and weekly journaling along with stickers and such. I gotta have explosion of color on pages so that it draws me back into my journal every time! I can't wait to see you grow!
Thanks! Ya I plan to incorporate more color too as I get more use to it! I'm just kinda scared that I might not like it so I'm gonna ease into more color xD
Jesus! Nothing but respect for your dedication and planning skills, but I was looking for tips on like a really quick and simple journal outline, and boy oh boy is this video not it. Not a negative thing at all, I'm just overwhelmed by your attention to detail.
I started my first ballet journal around February of this year after I had seen my seat mate at school use hers. So I impulse bought a cheep bullet journal. (surprisingly it has nice paper but I can’t figure out the paper weight/gsm) I used my digital notes app to gather little notes and pictures of bullet journals and how I wanted to do mine or what things I wanted to add- it was a lot let me tell you and I’m glad I was able to do a nice set up. I for one like a good theme I can doodle or add washi tapes too since it makes me come back to my weekly set ups and see what’s going on since I’m always so unorganized and have terrible time management. But now that I’ve gotten into the groove of things I’ve been looking more into minimal setups I can use for the next school year to make sure I keep up with in school and out of school activities. I liked how you showed your planning process for this in the video and it was fun to see how you set your bullet journal up!
I'm interested in bullet journalling recently and been watching a lot of videos about it, but not really found something I really needed until I found your video that has the most relatable content for me and sure would be useful, thank you so much for this!
I have been looking at bullet journal tips, tricks and may other related videos but most of them were so overwhelmingly complicated that I nearly gave up on starting my own journal. Your style is just the thing I was looking for. I hope your plans worked out.
I really love the simplicity of your journal & the nice small font of your layouts! I've been bullet journaling since September & so I just recently added a divider page to make way for 2017 -- I'm still trying to figure out exactly how I want to reformat my habit/self-care tracking & my monthly spreads. I still enjoy my dailies, which look a lot like yours, actually! I like to write out the entire week all at once, as well, for the same reason. I also don't mind having extra room on certain days because that gives me space for more "mental notes" or task-specific lists [like if I plan to go to the store & only need a couple things, I might as well write those next to or below the task].
I also really like the black-&-white look. I incorporated navy blue & dark purple pens, as well as blue/purple/green highlighters. It's a little colourful but not more than necessary to maximize productivity.
Glad you liked it! :) ahhh blue and purple penss! that's a really good idea! sometimes I do want some differentiation wihtout too much colors, I think I'll start doing that lol thankss
You're welcome! I'm not the biggest fan of colour but I really felt that some things needed to catch my eye [like prioritized tasks], otherwise they'd just kind of blend together. I hope it works for you! :)
I just recently discovered journaling, specifically bullet journals, and your video is by far one of most in depth and helpful videos I've seen. You gave me a lot of great ideas for my own. Please keep up the good work and update us on any changes and your final plan! c: P.S Your handwriting is adorable! ~
I wanted to start a bullet journal for the new year and like you I researched it trying to find which way suits me. I'm so glad I found your video because it's similar to how I would want to plan things and keep it organized. thanks so much for sharing!
I am so glad to see that you also did the deep dive research on Pinterest and RUclips after bumping into the concept for the first time. I thought I was crazy. Thank you for a very informative video.
being a super creative and an all over the place person i decided to start bullet journalling...with my mind being so creative and loud and colorful i was looking for a minimalistic spread so after dozens and dozens of beautiful journals (which were too bright to calm my mind) i stumbled upon this viedao and thank you sooo much for the idea...definitely a great inspo❤
I'm using the travelers notebook for bullet journaling now. I like to keep my collections in a separate book so I don't have to transfer them to a new every year. One suggestion, create a future log instead of that monthly future section.
actually it drives me crazy particularly after watching a lot of videos from the bullet journal community saying "I know I'm gonna say this wrong...", I'm learning German and when I need help with a word's pronunciation I just go to google translate, the easiest thing.
Love the minimalistic look. I'm gonna borrow your idea for the To Learn collection and the review at the end of the month. I've watched A LOT of bullet journal videos and it is actually the first time I see those, and I think they are absolutely brilliant!
I just started bullet journaling in November, and have kept it VERY simple. I really like some of your ideas, and may incorporate into mine for 2017. Oh, and I really like the nail color too!
Getting ready to set up my journal for 2018, and I really like your monthly goals. I also do my monthly calendar on one page, I feel like it keeps things more condensed, and easier to keep track of. Also, I have total hand writing envy. :)
I think the word you were looking for is "collections." (Sorry if someone already pointed this out). This is a great intro, btw. I did some if this in migrating to a new book, but you were very thorough! Thank you.
I love your bullet journal, I wish you'd mail me one with your exact organization and aesthetics! I'm doing mine with a lot of the elements you have in yours. I'm going to start my first bullet journal soon, probably only in 2018 so I have time to find out exactly what I want to do with it and how. Thank you for the note you left the description too, it's always nice to have your mistakes being owned and corrected, plus it's additional information.
finally i find the video that actually focus on the content ah T____T most that i find are very *aesthetic* but i cant afford to buy every post its, washitapes, and colourful mildliners lol luv ur video!!!! and its very cute that you said category (?) instead of pages hahaha. ur writing is also very neat! hope you achieve your goals in 2017 like you wrote them in your journal! ;)
Thank you for this video. Definitely picked up a few things that was very helpful. And I love how simple your journal looks. The draft of the journal is a great idea!! Thanks Monica!
I enjoyed watching this video and taking a look at your set up so much! gained so much inspiration! but time to time I kept getting distracted by how beautiful your hands are 😂 I have a chubby hand with short stubby fingers, so yours is quite literally goals 💕
would be interesting to see an update video on this and how things have worked out for you. What you would change for next year, did you stick with using it, did you run into space issues, add or found areas not used,
Good job on the research! Sometimes it can be overwhelming going down the rabbit hole and we lose track and get disparaged. Key is not trying to do it perfectly but to start and improvise!
Love it!! If I may suggest. Since you have such a small font maybe you could consider zooming in a little more so we can clearly see what you wrote. Great Channel btw :)
Eclectisapien lol I actually did film close ups but decided not to add it in 😂 thanks for the suggestion tho now I'll make sure to actually add it next time 😘❤️
I am currently in the rabbit hole of bullet journals and I love this it's very clear and minimalistic, tip though you play around with your hands a lot it's a little distracting!
I really like your layout! So simple, and truly minimalistic. Also possible for extremely non-artistic people like me to execute haha. Thanks for the video!
i love your setup! it's definitely super simple, and i'll be using a lot of these ideas as i set my journal up :) the future notes is such a clever idea!
your bujo is so beautiful! I try to keep mine a little bit simple but with some doodling in the headers. Also, I think what you meant by categories were collections, maybe? This is what the "bullet journal community" usually call that kind of themed pages that don't belong to yearly, monthly, weekly or daily spreads hahah.
I really enjoyed this video :) I planned my setup just as you did, on paper and with a painting programme for the layouts (I have a traveler's notebook as my main planner, so I have to see what kind of layout will fit the page size) :) You gave me some really great tips! :3 Thanks for that! I am growing my youtube channel atm so your social media trackers are really great for me, too! :)
looks lovely, thank you for sharing! german is a crazy language, so I had to chuckle when you tried to pronounce "leuchtturm" ;) it's basically loy-kt-tour-m (the CH is that weird throaty sound similar to a cough, haha) happy christmas from austria!
I have to say that I live this BUJU it's so simple and lovely. I have a question if you don't mind. what ✒ pen is up top of your desk? it looks like Muji but I could be wrong. I would love to get one. hugs, Heather
Hi, Monica! This video has been SO very helpful! Do you have a blog (or other resource) where I could get a copy of your written “Plan” as a Template to create my own Plan? Thanks so much!
I did a February update here: ruclips.net/video/Yhu6rLbJ_yg/видео.html with some new collections, but my setup didn't really change. I'll do one soon about what I would change about my current set up though and what I already changed. :)
Actually yup I should have done that lol totally forgot, maybe I'll add a small one next to my year overview, but at the last page of my month I left a space for future notes.

This is probably the cleanest bullet journal video I've seen! Thanks for the thorough explanations. I love your minimalist approach. :)
As someone who works in social media and marketing, watching these humbles me so much and helps me to connect with other like-minded folks. Super inspiring! 💙 also love your minimal and clean style.
Thank you so much!
I love how this is so simple and clean! So many of the bullet journal videos are really intimidating and busy!
Thanks! glad you enjoyed it

This is the best Bullet Journal I've ever spent more than a minute on. Good move to plan first on a separate paper. I'm instantly a fan!
Firstly, beautiful planner layout. Secondly, you have such lovely hands XD so slender and your nails are gorgeous!
I'm interested in bullet journalling recently and been watching a lot of videos about it, but not really found something I really needed until I found your video that has the most relatable content for me and sure would be useful, thank you so much for this!
I love your vertical calendar idea at 10:00.
The Guitarpreneur Page I'm definitely stealing that idea
I have been looking at bullet journal tips, tricks and may other related videos but most of them were so overwhelmingly complicated that I nearly gave up on starting my own journal. Your style is just the thing I was looking for. I hope your plans worked out.
omg i'm watching this in the middle of the night and i just CAN'T wait for it to be morning so i can go to the book store and buy pens and a journal
I love almost everything about your bujo setup! and I just CANNOT take my eyes off of your nails!
I really love the simplicity of your journal & the nice small font of your layouts!

every time "pages" flashed i laughed pretty hard
Noragami!
I wish I'd seen your video second (after Ryder). Some of the bullet journals and exhausting. Simplicity is the soul of the BuJo.
I just recently discovered journaling, specifically bullet journals, and your video is by far one of most in depth and helpful videos I've seen. You gave me a lot of great ideas for my own. Please keep up the good work and update us on any changes and your final plan! c:
P.S Your handwriting is adorable! ~
Veracity - awww thanks so much! I'll make sure to update again at the end of January for next month 😘❤️
Try to lose your crutch word, "actually". That gets a little distracting.....actually.
I wanted to start a bullet journal for the new year and like you I researched it trying to find which way suits me. I'm so glad I found your video because it's similar to how I would want to plan things and keep it organized. thanks so much for sharing!
aw glad it helped!

I love when non germans pronounce Leuchturm just makes me so happy idk. xD
cruelaz It drives me crazy xD
cruelaz i LOVE it too 😂
actually it drives me crazy particularly after watching a lot of videos from the bullet journal community saying "I know I'm gonna say this wrong...", I'm learning German and when I need help with a word's pronunciation I just go to google translate, the easiest thing.
Germans gather around
It's not that hard to approximate but usually people just don't bother to look into it
Love the minimalistic look. I'm gonna borrow your idea for the To Learn collection and the review at the end of the month. I've watched A LOT of bullet journal videos and it is actually the first time I see those, and I think they are absolutely brilliant!
This is the best Bullet Journal setup I have ever seen and I absolutely adore it! Thank you so much!
I just started bullet journaling in November, and have kept it VERY simple. I really like some of your ideas, and may incorporate into mine for 2017. Oh, and I really like the nail color too!
thanksss glad I could help! and the nail color is opi's barefoot in barcelona :)
Getting ready to set up my journal for 2018, and I really like your monthly goals. I also do my monthly calendar on one page, I feel like it keeps things more condensed, and easier to keep track of. Also, I have total hand writing envy. :)
Love seeing other minimalist BuJo's! Thanks for the inspiration. Love your monthly layout going to try that one :)
You put so much time and work into this. This is super cool! :)
girlmeetscamera aw thankss 😘😘
I love this so much ! it's so plan and simple and if I wanted to I would just draw in the blank spaces. This is awesome!
The BEST Bullet\Planner journal in RUclips!
Thank you So much, this video is really helpful and useful (& no silly sweet stuff)
Aww thank you, I'm so happy it helped! :)
I think the word you were looking for is "collections." (Sorry if someone already pointed this out). This is a great intro, btw. I did some if this in migrating to a new book, but you were very thorough! Thank you.
I love your bullet journal, I wish you'd mail me one with your exact organization and aesthetics! I'm doing mine with a lot of the elements you have in yours. I'm going to start my first bullet journal soon, probably only in 2018 so I have time to find out exactly what I want to do with it and how. Thank you for the note you left the description too, it's always nice to have your mistakes being owned and corrected, plus it's additional information.
My favorite bullet journal video! I love all the ideas I've gotten from this!
aw thank you! Glad it helped ^^
every bullet journal/planning video should include the owner's nail polish color. i absolutely love the color you're wearing here
sooooooo love it! I've seen many videos about bujo, but yours is the best! Will definitely try to set up my bujo similar to your way in August
finally i find the video that actually focus on the content ah T____T most that i find are very *aesthetic* but i cant afford to buy every post its, washitapes, and colourful mildliners lol luv ur video!!!! and its very cute that you said category (?) instead of pages hahaha. ur writing is also very neat! hope you achieve your goals in 2017 like you wrote them in your journal! ;)
sip haha thanks! 😘😘 good luck with your journal too!
Thank you for this video. Definitely picked up a few things that was very helpful. And I love how simple your journal looks. The draft of the journal is a great idea!! Thanks Monica!
Thanks! Glad it helped you
Definitely encouraged me to start a bullet journal! Yours is so functional but you still keep it fun!
aww that's great! glad I could help
This is such an awesome set up! I love how minimal but detailed it is, thank you!
Thank you for this video!! It has actually made my life easier for when I get a bullet journal
Aw that's great! Glad I could help :D
Monica Guan I was stuck on what to stick into a bullet journal till now. Help always seems to show just when I'm about to give up
I enjoyed watching this video and taking a look at your set up so much! gained so much inspiration! but time to time I kept getting distracted by how beautiful your hands are 😂 I have a chubby hand with short stubby fingers, so yours is quite literally goals 💕
Great job Monica! I am so happy that I found your video, this is perfect for beginners!
Glad it helped you! 😊
would be interesting to see an update video on this and how things have worked out for you. What you would change for next year, did you stick with using it, did you run into space issues, add or found areas not used,
For sure! I will be doing one before in probably November ^^
Best. Simple. Bullet. Journal. Tutorial. Ever
Malak TheMuse aw thank you!
Good job on the research! Sometimes it can be overwhelming going down the rabbit hole and we lose track and get disparaged. Key is not trying to do it perfectly but to start and improvise!
true! I was getting discouraged by all the complicated layouts so I went for the opposite xD as simple as possible lol
Great BuJo ideas! Thanks for sharing. On a totally unrelated note, you have gorgeous hands! 😊
I really love the minimalistic look! So clean!
This was a really well researched video - must watch for anyone starting a bullet journal
Thank you!
Love the minimalist bullet journal video. Just what I was looking for and in the beginning stages of doing. Thanks
Glad you found it helpful! 😊
Love it!! If I may suggest. Since you have such a small font maybe you could consider zooming in a little more so we can clearly see what you wrote. Great Channel btw :)
Eclectisapien lol I actually did film close ups but decided not to add it in 😂 thanks for the suggestion tho now I'll make sure to actually add it next time 😘❤️
I am currently in the rabbit hole of bullet journals and I love this it's very clear and minimalistic, tip though you play around with your hands a lot it's a little distracting!
lol ya thanks for the tip, I guess I was trying to make up for not having a face in the video, went a little too far xD
I really like your layout! So simple, and truly minimalistic. Also possible for extremely non-artistic people like me to execute haha. Thanks for the video!
i love your setup! it's definitely super simple, and i'll be using a lot of these ideas as i set my journal up :)
the future notes is such a clever idea!
Thank you for this video! It really helped me think about different categories to include in my planner that I hadn't thought about before. Cheers!
Love your video! Gonna go and buy the notebook today to set up my first journal as well. So excited!
Yayyyy! Have fun setting it up!
your bujo is so beautiful! I try to keep mine a little bit simple but with some doodling in the headers. Also, I think what you meant by categories were collections, maybe? This is what the "bullet journal community" usually call that kind of themed pages that don't belong to yearly, monthly, weekly or daily spreads hahah.
your hands are so pretty omg
Love your setup. Very simple and clean. Thank you for the video!
Andrea glad it helped! 😘
I love this so much! I really want to start a bullet journal for 2017 so I definitely might steal some of your ideas haha xoxo
The best video I've seen so far! thank you! Totally motivated me to make my own bullet journal! :)
I really like the style of your journal, which looks very effective and clean.
Really simple and useful layouts! And can I just mention that you have beautiful fingers!
haha thanks
Loved this video, can't wait to get mine ❤️
I really enjoyed this video :) I planned my setup just as you did, on paper and with a painting programme for the layouts (I have a traveler's notebook as my main planner, so I have to see what kind of layout will fit the page size) :) You gave me some really great tips! :3 Thanks for that! I am growing my youtube channel atm so your social media trackers are really great for me, too! :)
MsHydrolove awww that's great! Glad I could help 😘
I love this! im onto my second bullet journal now and this video is going to help me plan ahead for 2017 :)
Thankss, happy this helped you!!
looks lovely, thank you for sharing! german is a crazy language, so I had to chuckle when you tried to pronounce "leuchtturm" ;) it's basically loy-kt-tour-m (the CH is that weird throaty sound similar to a cough, haha) happy christmas from austria!
Lisi Ledbetter Really funny to read for a german girl but your try to pronounce it right is not bad :)
Lisi Ledbetter Try to pronounce the CH like the first Ch in church ☺
Nele Marie It is actually pronounced Loytch term
Easy Does It no not really😂😅
I love the way yours is planned out! Thanks for sharing.
Glad it helped
I love how clean and simple this is. so I have a huge/little???? lol question what ✒ pen is up at top of your desk? thanks for sharing. x, Heather
It's a Muji 0.7mm Ballpoint Pen ^^
Thank you so much. I thought it looked like that but wasn't 100%. I love the grips and the color. Thanks again Crafty hugs, Heather
I really like the way you did your journal, it really help me to set up mine again! So Thanks!
I'm starting a bullet journal for 2017 as well. :) Thanks for sharing yours! Also, I LOVE your nail polish. What shade are you wearing?
Jessica Anderson Thankss ❤️ it's OPI's "Barefoot in Barcelona" lol
woah what observation :)
This video is so inspiriting! Definitely gonna try this myself.
Wow it is so great ! And your handwriting is really pretty
Joanna Podlejska aw thanks! 😊
Really love how you organise your journal.
I LOVE your hand writing. My biggest problem is writting everything on my BuJo and having it not look over crowded. :/
Thank you so much for showing your planning process! Incredibly helpful and cool video! :)
Glad it helped
Hey, very helpful video! It would be great if you could scan and upload the sheets you showed us in the start of the video. Thanks!
Your Bullet Journal looks really nice, thanks for showing ^^
Love this set up! Simple but useful :) Can you see the writing on the other side of the page? How big is the spacing for the grid?
Great video! I'm new to bullet journaling so these are great tips!
Very nice! I like your monthly review, definitely going to add it in my Boju!
In case you were wondering, she works in social media.
I have to say that I live this BUJU it's so simple and lovely. I have a question if you don't mind. what ✒ pen is up top of your desk? it looks like Muji but I could be wrong. I would love to get one. hugs, Heather
Thanks for sharing! This is just what I was looking for for ideas.
Glad it helped! ^^
Hi, Monica! This video has been SO very helpful! Do you have a blog (or other resource) where I could get a copy of your written “Plan” as a Template to create my own Plan? Thanks so much!
Have you changed the setup since January? If you have, can you make an updated video on it?? I really liked this vid!
I did a February update here: ruclips.net/video/Yhu6rLbJ_yg/видео.html with some new collections, but my setup didn't really change. I'll do one soon about what I would change about my current set up though and what I already changed. :)
hi your video is very much minimalistic I love that. Also how each page looks the same. nice job.
ggac gg thanks so much!
Completely off topic but what nail polish color do you have on? Loved the video so simple
it was really such a great inspration
Glad you enjoyed! ^^
Weird question: what headset is that? It's gorgeous
They're rose gold frends headphones :)
i can't stop looking at this EMPTY CLEAN CUP
Great video 😊 really like the set-up of your journal
Thanksss
Can you please re-shoot this in ASMR version? Your hands are amazing. lol!
Very helpful video. Thanx!
Great vid! Have a question though: it seems to me that you don't have a Future Log. How do you plan in advance for the upcoming months?
Actually yup I should have done that lol totally forgot, maybe I'll add a small one next to my year overview, but at the last page of my month I left a space for future notes.
Love it! I love how neat and clean it looks. Thank you so much for sharing. 😀
I loved this video! I was just wondering how you filmed it!
haha actually instead of the camera being high up, I was actually on the floor ;)
Oh wow it looks like on the table, I thought you'd used a rig or something,
I loved this video. Very helpful!
