วีดีโอ

i feel like i’m creeping because this was posted so long ago 😂 but i’ve never seen anyone do a library savings spread and i LOVE yours! might be stealing the idea for my 2025 journal!

I am not finding this on the A&O website

What journal app?

I just ordered a b6 common planner yesterday, I love your set up! your brain works like mine!

I recently discovered Sterling Ink planners and I love them! I'm finishing out this year in an N2 and planning to move to a B6 Slim next year. I've only added stickers and washi tape so far. Do you find the thin paper holds up well to other types of ephemera?

So funny.. Im currently living in NoVA but Im originally from Hawaii (born and raised) 🤙🏾 enjoy!

I just stumbled onto your page today and I think I just found my planner/plant person all in one! 😂💚 I love that your channel is both planners and plant related videos! I didn’t know how to incorporate both of my interests into one channel but you made it effortless! 🖋️🌿

This was so fun to watch. I loved hearing your process and normalizing that life stages alter our journaling practice - and that’s ok!

Hello! New viewer and i love your journal. I was wondering where you got the weather stickers?

When I have a bucketload of photos and no desire to journal, I just glue them in, write a caption for the page, or even just the date and call it done. Sometimes life is way too much. ❤ Also, I see an I Stand with Palestine sticker and I immediately subscribe. 😍

🍉🍉❤️ new sub 😊

Hi Emily! Thank you for sharing your journal, it is absolutely stunning and I love your style!

Hi, just came across your channel. I understand flipping back & forth between planning and memory-keeping. 😊 I also flipped back & forth in dated or undated (made a vid about that!). I’ve accepted this flip-flopping is part of our journal journeys 🤭 Your life seems filled with love. Nothing is better. Thank you for sharing - we have a similar creative style. 😊💛

Thanks for sharing, I love journal flip throughs and I love your style! I’m wondering if the journal pages on your phone can be printed out since they have pics, etc

Welcome to Hawaii! Also, I wanted to mention that the weather tracker may be more helpful in fall and winter because in Hawaii our winter is mostly rain and maybe 2 weeks of sweater weather if we’re lucky. lol but the rain sucks so it’ll be helpful to know when you might need an umbrella. lol I love how you use your SI common planner. I have a few that I use too, but I’ve been hopping around and trying some new things or going back to what’s the most useful when I need to. Anyway, hope all is well for you as you settle in!

I’m in the middle of a pcs! I hear ya girl! So sorry about your first child❤

I also wanted to say that you may find yourself in need of a reflection day at some point and decide to go back and do those pages about your first weeks with your baby. So save those pictures in there for when that happens.

Super helpful! I’m torn between a5 and b6 too. Trying to make up my mind. I love your journaling pages.

Thank you so much for sharing! I’m stuck deciding between an a5 or b6 sterling ink common planner for next year and this really helped me solidify it for me. Did you watch the new video they posted and the new journal/planner that’s coming out that doesn’t have the goals or weeklies? The daily pages have the hourly breakdown and I feel like you might like that a lot more since you haven’t been using the weeklies.

Love this a lot. Also really enjoy your new release tracker. I’m looking forward to court of wanderers, asap, and the newest nghi vo empress of salt and fortune book 5.

Love your set up. ...definitely gonna do the savings tracker this year cuz I feel like I spent WAY too much on books last year and I do love the library. .thanx for sharing, your hard really paid off..beautiful!

How do you do a book bingo?

Love these spreads! The link to your blog doesn’t work tho 😫🥹

Love love love!!! I've been thinking about doing bullet journal content on my channel even though I'm just a bookish vlog style channel. But idkkk you convinced me!!! And I usually do my yearly bookshelf with all the books I read coloring them in by star rating but by genre just BLEW MY MIND!!! I think I may take inspiration and do that as well 😅

Where did you get your book clip?

I have been reading for 60 years, I am going to be 64 this year and I Love books. Never thought about doing a reading journal until I saw them om you tube. Just ordered my notebook, could not get one from Archer and Olive so got one from Beechmore Books on Amazon and several sticker packages etc. Really looking forward to trying some of the ideas I have seen on you tube. Thanks so much for the informative videos. Good luck with the move.😊

Congrats on your pregnancy!! The spreads all look amazing. Im glad you said the time it took because I feel bad about how tired I get while book journaling or when a spread takes days to finish. 😅

Congratulations to YOU and your BOYFRIEND on your PREGNANCY!!!

you have inspired me to make a reading journal this year! i gave up on last years but maybe this will be the year i follow through 😂

The way I do it, I have a goal to read at least 50% of the books I haul that year, then also read books I've owned previously. I suppose it's kind of hard for you though, if you're tracking how much you save by using the library, maybe you're subconsciously more likely to use the library instead of reading your already owned tbr? Maybe that '$400 saved' is too tempting a stat, so you accidently don't read your own tbr?

So relaxing! Can’t wait to set up my journal!

I just feel like I have to let you know that I have the same problem drawing zeros in that style font, they always turn out thick somehow

I find this very endearing as someone who just started journaling. Thank you for showing the mistakes because I keep feeling out about mine.

Welcome to "Paradise" / Aloha to the island

Love your set up! I'm new to a reading journal, so I can't wait to get mine done this weekend.

Love your setup! Gave me so many ideas! Where did you get the kraft paper from? is it thick?

I absolutely love this set up! I can't wait to see you fill it in through out the year

Love your setup! I have a ‘backlog’ spread in my reading journal and your idea is exactly what I do. If I purchase a new book and don’t read it within a month (usually), I add it to that spread to make sure it stays on my radar! It works really well for me.

I love your journal! 😍For your books that you own, maybe write in your newly acquired books in a different color or font so they are distinct and then as you read them you can cross them off to both keep track of them, but also pat yourself on the back for reading them. Good luck with your move!!

I liked "read what you own" [ I usually read and add after to the bookshelf] and the design of Genre TBR Lists [cute idea] and liked most Words Definitions Pages.

I love your reading journal, it's one of my favorites of 2023. I am getting lots of ideas for my next year's :D

Why don’t you simply allocate a specific amount of pages for each month to ensure you don’t get tight for pages by 2/3’s of the way through the year?

So pretty! <3 (I love how this looks so transitional - like, yes, it's green and sunflowers but also a little bit fall)

I was SO sad that this sold out that fast. I'm a sucker for bees. Great video as always, Em!

so fun to see the whole flip. so hard to figure out the pacing for a notebook, i always either run out or have like WAY too many pages left at the end 😅 also love all the details on the blog!!

Omg yess, I can't wait for u to post more videos🥰❤️

Great video ❤ New subbie here 👋

This makes me want to update my own journal.. It's been a while 😅
