♥ Frequently Asked Questions ♥
Q: Do you do these spreads after the week is over?
A: I always film myself creating these spreads before the week has started and continue to fill it out during the week. I collect the footage at the end of the week and do my voiceover which is why everything I say is in past tense! I always prefer to plan ahead~
Q: How do you use so many planners at the same time?
A: Every week, I choose a few planners for me to use so I’m not actually using ALL of my planners every single week! For example, I always choose a planner for me to take on the go, one for academics, one for business, and one that is more decorative and fun. Part of what I do is showcasing spread ideas so that is why I have so different layouts!
Q: How did you learn your lettering?
A: This is a pretty annoying answer but...practice practice practice! I didn’t use a book or a single resource to learn. I honestly just picked up on the different types of lettering through my daily life (things like book covers, posters, etc.) and practiced whenever possible!!!

in my opinion, we always think other people's handwriting are prettier than our own 🤣🤣🤣
No one thinks mine is pretty 🤣
true
Ikr
Noo...my handwriting is better than some of my friends' lol 😅
@@mrigyamittal3874 Sometimes i don't like my hand writing but at times im like
Oh its cute
if i had that handwriting, i will never stop doing my homework
same
Me too! Recently I have focused on making my notes more neater and now I actually kinda like English class. Kinda
@@cxffaye English is my favourite class because we just write loads and that helps with my handwriting and I love writing loads idk why but I just soo :)
@@beccawilde7246 Same!
Same I would have such organized notes 😂
She says "your hand writing is beautiful "
Me "my hand writing goes from cursive to normal back to cursive and some zig zag wiggly writing" 🤣 but ok its beautiful haha.
Same 😂😂😭
Why is this me- in the middle of class just writing my notes then randomly switching how I write
My handwriting is a mixture of different styles but it’s still neat and I like it
so good to know i'm not alone! I thought i was just weird!
I have hybrid writing and everyone thinks it's pretty except for myself. Lol. Probably because I know I used to write so much better 10 years ago.
When i'm like: " Yes, i'm gonna write this veryyyyy pretty."
* after this *
* exhausted just by writing one word *
Where’s the pdf
Sameeee
@@cutecatsadorable6319 the description

"Focus on improving rather than copying"
You nailed it. Thank you!
She said this the moment I liked this comment.
@@Keallei Wow!! So cool
@@Keallei so true! Mine does it in every word 😂
It's weird bc first I copy and than on my way I start changing it up a bit and have a different handwriting 🧍🏾♀️
Haha
I’ve noticed how my writing changes with different pens and tip sizes.
I also switch the cases when I write (upper/lower), but I’m more formal when I type/text than when I print/write, even mixing between cursive/print letters.
Same here!!!
Yes! Big pens or heavy pens make my writing horrible Dx
Thin pens work better for me.
@@Colorfultears It's different for me. My words are more neat when I use a pen that is similar to a normal ball pen size and if it's a thin pen, it's quite neat but not as neat as the former one
It's the same for me ,sharp ink pens are for cursive or linking and ink ball points are for printing, those are good for my handwriting, what about you😊?
@@rossittanotere6258 Yes.
Ballpoint for notes someone else is going to read.
Gel for me, only me, because it'll be messy
Me: trying to write beautifully
Teacher: next slide
😂
I screamed 😭😭😭😭
Facts.😭💀
my teacher usually put the powerpoint slides in the google classroom
FAct🤣
SO 2ROOO GOODNESS HAHAHA
Practice is literally everything. I always feel like I forgot how to write if I haven't written much for over 3 days
😆😆😆😆😆😂🤣😂🤣
Same here. Also, my handwriting gets wobbly too
@@Goldrush1337 mhm so true
Then my whole handwriting change and that's how my handwriting evolution works😂
@@gloomie1299 so true 😂😂😂
"your handwriting is beautiful"...um sis have you seen my handwriting
I mean thank you, but seriously,...I want my handwriting to be like yours
Well my handwriting isn’t like hers but I could show you how to write a bit neater if you like although I’m not as neat as her lol
I too mix upper & lower case letters when i write casually!! It’s so strange but I can’t help myself 🤣
I have the bad habit of also mixing upper and lowercase all of the time when I'm writing by hand... even when I'm writing notes on the whiteboard or projector for my students. oops. haha. I tell them it is to make words more easily readable because my lowercase letters aren't always the most easily understood by others.
I also mix my upper and lower case letters and tend to have them all the same height.
I do more lowercase letters when i write i don't know why though I'll be 20 in august but i look like I'm only 10 or 12 sigh im very short but i do like writing stories though & i even write my stories in mainly lowercase letters 😂🤔😑
Same😂😂😂
i know right like my teachers was disappointed until I got to 4th grade and we used computers
Quick Tip: Write your notes in school using a PENCIL because of limited time.
When you have more time at home, you can use a pen for your aesthetic notes!
idk why but pencil way more faster and the handwriting is not that bad
@@nerandan my handwriting is 10x better in pencil. It's a shame we're not allowed to use pencil to write in class
@@gunjan027 mine is opposite lol
@@PinkBuble OMGG SAMEE 💓
I agree and would if my school allows us to use them
We're only told to use pencils when drawing a graph or something but otherwise we must use a pen
I do the same thing with ignoring uppercase/lowercase rules when writing notes! I find it to be visually interesting and it can keep me in the moment of writing a word or thought.

Loved this handwriting video!
I have a friend who only writes in Caps.
Non-stationery ppl don't understand that there are many variables to consider when writing. For me, the neatness depends on my mood, the pen I use, how long & how fast I need to write down the information and where I am writing it. That's why I have so many different pens.
The "correct" way to hold a pen is almost the way you are going to click your fingers with your thumb and index gripping the pen while the top rests in bn the curve of the index & thumb with your 3rd finger supporting the pen from below. It's called a tripod grip.
My mom writes in all caps (said she started in highschool...teacher was dine with it as long as she could prove knowledge of "proper" writing). The letters that are supposed to capital are larger than the others, kinda like hoe cyrillic alphabet does it. So the lowercase letters are just miniaturized capitals.
"Hence" doesn't mean "that's why" it means therefore, or as a consequence of ....
And you definitely would and should never say "hence why..."
I was taught to hold a pen just like you do, and I have a permanent callous on the inside of my 2nd finger as a result.
your handwriting is literally a ✨font✨
I think one good way to start if you want to change your style is to just change one letter at a time. I started with curling my lowercase g's and y's in elementary school, and never made any changes until middle school where I started trying things like crossing my q's and changing around my uppercase Y's. And then in high school, I added a few things to my l's, t's, and s's and I practiced for like 8 months to add those to my normal handwriting. It's a slow process but whoever is reading this, you got this!!
The speed vs neatness thing is sooo real. I was self teaching handlettering and after perusing all these RUclips videos, there was a lettering in real time video and it shook me how slow it took to write 😂
Thanks for the upload! Have a great week 😀
I love my handwriting the most when I write names and words like Alexander, Communication, England, Shakespeare, Volkswagen and Heinrich 😁
Yeah, I find that some words make my handwriting look nice.
volkswagen
I'm sorry but....I want my handwriting to look just like yours and I aim for that every time I write lol
same :D
@@zainabsyed_ oh yea I forgot about the worksheets!
I thought you were Danielle Bregoli (Bhad Bhabie) 😂
Do you get that a lot?
Do people often tell you that you look like her?
@@anon0268 lol no I think it's the angle of the camera. I have never gotten that before and I was using a filter that day hahah
Me too
I just found this video, and all I can say is that you put into words what I could never explain to my friends about why my hand writing was the way it was. Thank you for expressing the abstract concepts in my mind!
My handwriting keeps on changing everyday.
Homework will become a hobby if I had such aesthetic writing...although Math homework will never be a hobby.
Always loved your handwriting so much ❤️ also omgsh thank u for including the bit about speed vs. neatness and showing an example of your messier notes (they were still quite neat af but also noticeably different) - I feel like most handwriting improvement videos give the impression that ✨this perfect writing is just how I write ALL THE TIME✨ without acknowledging that sometimes it does change a bit when writing in a more real-world situation of note taking 🥲
(Also +1 on the mixing of uppercase and lowercase letters when writing casually in print lol 😂)
Ahh thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Also happy to hear I'm not alone with the mix of upper case haha
Girl you're voice is so soothing 😍
OMG!!! This is perfect! I've been obsessed with your printing and how legible it is! I've been trying to practice writing more like you in my journal so I can actually read what I wrote! Thank you so much for this!!!
Omg my brain mixes upper and lower randomly too!! It’s so weird.
Right?????
Yay, I’ve been waiting for this. I love your handwriting and can’t waiting to use the worksheet 🥰
Thank you so much! Have fun!
I love your organization, the video it self, the classical at the end...so professional. I have a big hope ur advices will take a major role to every ones' handwriting improving plan. Even tho these days every thing is expensive in our country, ill try to work hard with the accessories ive got according to ur advices. Thank you in advance ❤
Watching you write is so satisfying 🥰 My hands shake, so it makes writing difficult, so I’ll live through you 🤗
I find changing the way I hold the pen makes a big difference in my writing/printing. You can play around with that too to see if you like that style better.
Truly appreciate the advise.
my friends say that i hold the pen "weirdly" but also at the same time my writing is a bit better than some of them😂
The only actual thing I dislike about my handwriting is never lined properly-
This video is so great! Your voice is so calming and beautiful, I learned a lot from the video, and your encouragement is so helpful and nice to hear, thank you! 🥺 Liked the video a lot! Watching you write is very satisfying and your handwriting is gorgeous!☺️
i absolutely love your handwriting style. i always get comments about how neat my writing is but now i think im ready to change it up a bit, i downloaded your pdf and cannot wait to start it :)
I am obsessed with your handwriting. This really inspired me to keep in practicing, whether I'm demotivated or losing hope. Thank you so much for helping people out! ❤️
This was super helpful thanks Helen! And I hold my pen the same as you do, I've had teachers tell me it's wrong but I just can't write neatly any other way so I think it shouldn't matter as long as it's neat! I also mix cases of various letters, esp the letter R. I love uppercase R a lot more than r.
I love your handwriting! It’s like you’re typing ❤
Thank you for this valuable video. After working at an office for 15 years, I realized that I have messy handwriting. Until discovering bullet journal that's when I take my time writing and try to develop own style. Taking reading notes does help as well with writing.
i need to practice my cursive too. I used to be the best in my 3rd grade class and now i feel like im making it up as i go lol 😅. yours is so pretty!
me: listen to the first few seconds of this soothing voice
well i guess i have no option but to like this video
Thanks for sharing this Helen!! Love your handwriting
Happy Sunday!
thank you for these tips!! also love your voice, it's very soothing to listen to while i practice writing
you are amazing at explaining the details! i knew exactly what you meant by your explanation of this. that's a gift in itself! thank you for taking the time and sharing. i don't know how you do it all. i hope you take time for yourself as well :)
Aww thank you so much Kelli! I appreciate your encouragement
I feel like this was a much needed video😅 I love your handwriting and even though my handwriting isnt bad or anything, I think your writing sampler can help me work on some small kinks😋 Anyways, have a wonderful week, Helen and I can't wait for the upcoming anniversary sneaks!
Thank you so much Charnay! Hope you have a great week~
Thank you Helen! your handwriting is always so neat. I love writing myself I will try your technique :)
This is such a wonderful idea! I always write slowly in the beginning to get used to the handwriting and the speed I am using.
She says 'Your handwriting is beautiful'. Meanwhile me: my handwriting goes from our country to our neighbour country.
This is incredibly helpful, thank you!

Thank you for the worksheet ❤❤

Hello! Recommendation for some people that take nice notes in class: For every different topic choose a different color (Topic 1: Blue, Topic 2: Orange, Topic 3: Green, etc.)
Good idea😉
Actually to add to that, even if it’s not different for each topic, I assign colours to subjects (for example I study french, German and mandarin and their assigned colours are pink, green and orange respectively) which only are really featured to differentiate them and to highlight new topics, important terms and formulas for people who don’t like using highlighters
Oh my goodness... your handwriting it's perfection 🩵
OMG your handwriting is so beautiful, i really love it💗💗💗
Helen, Thank you so much for this video. I've been told many times that I have beautiful handwriting. But my handwriting doesn't work well in the Hobonichi Cousin due to the tiny line height. You've give me some ideas on how I can adapt it so it will work better in this planner. I also find your videos very soothing.
I also do that thing where I mix lower and uppercase letters, especially the letters R, D, M, and E lol
Mesmerizing to watch!
When someone's handwriting is prettier than you'll ever be 🤩
This was so great! Thank you Helen!! I alternate upper and lowercase too 🤪 And I alternate cursive and print 🤣 I find that when I wrote slowly and try to concentrate on neatness sometimes I mess up what I’m writing lol!!
Thank you Morgan!!! Hahaha I'm glad I'm not alone in that XD
Great tips. I love my handwriting often get complimented on it. I can write in a variety of styles. My favorite pens are Energel Liquid Gel ink needle point 0.3 & Pilot Precise V5 RT both in fine and extra fine points. I’m a pen junkie.
Thank you! I'll definitely have to check out that pen!
I have been computer typing a lot for around 10 years in my job and my handwriting is so messy, thank God I found your video,, been starting yesterday with your tips and just downloaded the worksheet .. keep inspiring! xoxo...
thank you so much! also your voice is so calming
My handwriting is between normal and cursive I’ll accidentally drag and connect letters in normal handwriting and slant them to the side
Never thought i'd be insecure about my handwriting-
the worksheet is so helpful! my handwriting has improved so much from just doing the sheet! 🤍
that’s super pretty, and a way to enhance your work :) I look forward to using this style in the future, thank you
I really wanna improve my handwriting cause.. i'm the only student in our class who does good notes with highlighters and detail stuff...
So instead of doing notes like all of my other classmates does.. i still try to make my notes better and neater. One thing still wrong with my notes is my handwriting 💀
So these tips gave me a start 😃 tyvm! ✨
*My handwriting is like a heart monitor that keeps dying and reviving over and over again.*
I gotta be honest. The link to your worksheet post is the cutest 😭💗💗
If I ever did a website I will take inspiration from urs💗
Your penmanship is ABSOLUTELY amazing. Impressive.
My biggest tip--use your thumb on the pen along with two fingers. Your thumb has so much more strength, so the pen will be more stable and you won't get as tired. You also don't have to grip the pen as hard. More stability = more speed and less fatigue. :-)
That's bad advice. I feel like I'm writing with my left hand ☠️
@@robloxoceanicairlinesccs6149 it may feel funny to you but it’s actually the correct way to do it. Mechanically, ergonomically, etc. think of your thumb and two fingers like a tripod. On my third finger, though, I don’t use the finger tip. I rest against the side of my first knuckle.
I improved my handwriting so much that my teacher literally think i print my work, they think i typed my papers, when i wrote them myself!
Wow, good job!
so glad i found this channel
your handwriting is soooo pretty! starting my practicing rn!
When you said you like to keep ascenders descenders minimal I noticed that with other aesthetic youtubers 😅
That’s how I hold mine too 👍🏼 lol
In school every one was talking about my handwriting but you help me so so much .🦄🦄
I love you so much 🥰 snowman yey!!
I really enjoyed this! I also mix up my upper and lower case so my writing style has upper case e’s and r’s. If I attempt to write them as lower case, it just doesn’t look right to me! Do you find you write any differently with your fountain pens? I would love to se a video about your fountain pen collection and how you use them 😊
Thank you Sarah! I can definitely do a video on that! You can get a small sneak peek of my fountain pen writing at 0:40 and I also have an fp instagram if you want to check it out! instagram.com/tcmcstationery/
@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo That would be wonderful, Helen! 🥰 I’ve started following your go insta account which is beautiful! 😍 I’ll have to go back to 0:40, I totally missed the fp! 😀
This is so great! Thank you Helen. Can I ask where you get your Energel Clena pens from? I’m having a terrible time finding then in The lower mainland.
Thank you!!! I get mine from Tokyo Pen Shop!
@everyday journalista did you ever find somewhere in Canada to get the Energel Clena? I'm on Vancouver Island and I looked up Tokyo Pen shop but it was 12.50 usd shipping to Canada which is terrible for buying pens! :( I'd love to know if you found anywhere more local/in Canada.
🖍 maybe jetpens?
@@seesterran3822 Jetpens has them, but it's awful shipping for Canadians. Especially during covid it's only by courier and it's like 20 bucks or more. Terrible just to buy some pens! I love Jetpens but it's so unaffordable to order from them sadly :(
omg your voice is so soothing and calming. i found myself falling right to sleep when i really needed to be paying attention lol
i love your handwriting thanks for the tips
Having the height of upper and lower case letters be almost the same, and mixing them around in the middle of words, is really causing my OCD grammar anxiety to rise 😅😅😅
Right?! 😂
Same here..😅
I WOULD PAY YOU TO GIVE ME YOUR HANDWRITING!!!! I would- if I wasn't broke :D
Your handwriting is amazing! ❤️❤️❤️
Your handwriting is a neat and understanding.
AHHHH FINALLY I GOT MY HANDWRITING LIKE HERS TYSMMMM
Thanks for the worksheet I kinda improve even more on my handwriting:)
love the way you write
Beautiful handwriting
practice makes perfect . You are a star
Your handwriting is immaculate! 🤩
Hi! Your writing is so beautiful ❤️
