Lovely video! I 100% agree with Momma Tater you need a break. My wallet will thank you as well! 🤣 thank you for sharing your gorgeous normal life moments with us. Catching up on videos while I make 3 pepper chili!
I’m an anxious driver too. I think it makes me a good driver though because I wait for big spaces, don’t go too fast, don’t get too close to the car in front of me, etc. I’m glad you’re going to take a break! Thanks for the video 😊. You have such a relaxing voice and just a general good and kind vibe. I wasn’t having the best morning but this video picked me up☺️
Rofl! I made my lentil and veggie bolognese pasta sauce the same day you made your veggie chili. As a single person, I don't mind eating the same thing for a few days because it's just easier to have something already made, that all you have to do is heat up. Plus, the stuff freezes well if you want to put some away for a rainy day.
I started baking on Tuesday. I was trying to use half a case of bananas before they went bad. I froze whole bananas and cut bananas for smoothies. Then I made 6 loaves of banana bread. I have a simple but good recipe. The chili sounds good. I like making crock pot meals. I can't wait for it to be cold enough for chili and stew. ❤ I hope you have a great week!
Hi Helen, I received my first washi tape from your preorder in June and I can see why your washi tapes sell out so quickly. The quality is amazing. I love your stickers also and will be receiving more from your birthday sale. Thank you for all your hard work and your great videos. You are an inspiration. Take care.
Love the vlog, and the bridge you are referring to is the Patulla (sp), when i would go over it i would hold my breath all the way, i lived in Van for 24 yrs and even up to me moving I still held my breath going on the bridge......LOVE LOVE the washi!
As usual, you had another lovely, inspiring video, but it was a delight to hear all your exciting news. I do hope, Helen, that you give yourself a real break, even if it's just for a few days. I can't overstate what good it does for someone to leave behind worries and guilt about not having done everything. Good luck!
I love your entries when it's all in black fountain pen. But I do appreciate those multi-color SARASA as part of your journaling system because it brightens your entries somehow. 😘😍🥰 Imma getting one though for myself soon. 🤩😅 Anyway, keep on going about your passions and everything. You really remind us every single day to feel inspired by you or any kind of positivity around us. Thank you so much for being one of the best recommended youtube channel here.
Helen, good job with the driving! You got this! I watch the first couple of seasons of Greys Anatomy like you watch Breaking Bad… there is comfort in knowing what is going to happen! I sooooo admire how you use your hobo cousin!❤
Veggie Chili for the win!!! Get it, girl! It's sooo good and good for you!! Definitely take a break, Helen. Go walk in the woods for a few hours on one of those days. Play with your nephew. Enjoy the things that make your life happy. Have a great week!
The way my heart gets so happy when you post a video Helen…thank you! I hope you are doing well and I support Mama Tater, take some time for yourself. You deserve it so much! ❤️ Sending love from Florida. So wish I could meet you at SGS.
recently I had an elbow injury that makes writing and drawing an unpleasant activity for me because of the pain - it’s been very frustrating 😢 your videos help me relax and have the journaling moments that I can’t have anymore - I still write, but it is a mix of angst and enjoyment atm for me 😢 so I have to cut down on how much I can write in one sitting
Love hearing about your days like the baking and walking! The madeleines looked lovely! Please take some time to take care of yourself. Resting is a form of self-care. Be kind to yourself! Sarra from the channel Heart Breathings has a live video called plan your 2023 writing year where she talks about balance and scheduling rest time. Also Mariane Cresp has a live video about called 6 month review discussing well-being!
I'm glad that you are thinking of having an actual break. I hope you get a lot of relaxing done. You work too hard. We will always wait for you if you do go on a vacation.
Hi Helen, try to avoid the narrow bridge (which I suspect is the Patullo bridge). Most people in Surrey that I know take the Portmann Bridge as its wider and goes directly to 152nd highway exit leading to Guildford area. I don’t drive since I live by myself but most of my friends take this route to avoid the narrower bridge.
hi helen! would you be willing to share the brand or where you found your walking pad/treadmill? winters are very bad where I live as well and am looking into options so I can keep up with walking. (or anyone that reads this comment and has some suggestions, please share!) it's overwhelming shopping for one!
Helen, please take a break!😊 Plus, my wallet could use a break too😅 You have released so much stuff this summer. You deserve a break! And, it would give me more time to save up for your next release.😂
Am I the only one being anxious with finishing a washi roll?? Especially TCMC’s ones !! J’ai mis des années à réussi à commandé un washi tape (j’arrivais toujours trop tard pour les ajouter à ma commande 🥲) maintenant que j’ai une petite collection, je les utilise vraiment avec beaucoup de patience !! Aussi, Helen, par pitié, propose nous un restock des quatre washi Hokusai, Monet, Van Gogh et De Vinci !! Je suis étudiante en histoire de l’art et ils seraient parfait pour lier mes deux passions : l’art et le journaling mais je les ai raté l’an dernier 😭 Je m’en mord les doigts tous les jours haha ! 🤞🏼
I love dessert (brownies, cake, cookies, etc) but I am looking for more healthy, non-sugar, options, so it be awesome if you could share any of your recipies
Hi hi! My NO.1 favourite no refined sugar brownies is linked below. I have made this like 5-6 times in the past few months oops... so good! I don't have a food processor so I just soak my dates in hot water for 5mins, pit them, then roughly chop with a knife ^_^ www.pickuplimes.com/recipe/sugar-free-fudge-two-bite-brownies-177
For your safety and everyone else's, please practice driving more until you're no longer anxious. An anxious driver is unpredictable and thus unsafe. Be a defensive driver, but not so much that you're holding up traffic, just always look for openings for any sudden movements from other drivers so you can avoid them and always keep some distance between you can the person in front of you. If you're going to drive in the slow lane on a freeway, always check for anyone on the on ramp so you can either slow down or speed up (they should be yielding, but they don't always). I've been driving for nearly 20 years and some of this is just stuff you'll pick up on your own and soon it becomes second nature, to the point where you can have that you time you get when you take a walk. If you want to up your strength, you should be upping your calories and protein (basically just make this extra calories all protein), so you might need more red meat, fish, or poultry in your diet. I can't give any more advice than that, but maybe consult a personal trainer or dietician.
💖🍮Black bean brownies sound scrumptious. Spanish and French maintain a problematic crossbreed. I am accomplishing Spanish on Duolingo but my outcomes not publishing. Adore the coin Doodle for an exhilarating metier. 🍮💖
I think I should try finishing a role of washi because I have so many and my collection is only getting bigger😅 In other news, thank you for the well wishes for my wisdom teeth extraction! I was knocked out the whole week and can finally socialise properly😄 Please share your madeleine recipe because my sister got me madeleine tray for my birthday and I really want to use it! Anyways, hope you’re doing well and hope you have a good week ahead! Have fun with your French course❤
May I ask which fountain pen ink you use, please? Do you choose a permanent ink for archival reasons, maybe? I love the consistency throughout your journal, which is making me think about my plan to use a different colour ink for each month in the Hobonichi. 🤔 Decisions, decisions!
Hey Helen! I’d like to suggest you watch Better Call Saul. That being said could we get Breaking Bad and/or better Call Saul stickers please! It’s awesome you get to have a car without buying one, you have good family! how is aunt life so far?
I obviously don't know you and I don't want to impose... but I'm so worried about your health. I'm really terrified that you will soon be at a breaking point and suffer from severe burnout. So please, please listen to your mom
It's me time to watch Helen
when you shared that getting to see your nephew gave you motivation to get over driving nerves, MELT!
Helen I’m so excited for your break 🤗 I love what you do for us but I also know how good it feels to do a complete energy reset.
Thank you so much for your encouragement

You too love
Thanks for your 'slice of life' video. A Sunday morning treat!
Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great week Denise!!
Yay! New video from Helen ♥️
I’m taking breakfast while watching you, I love your voice is just so soothing and calm ❤
Aw thank you! Hope you enjoyed your breakfast!
Your planner is getting so big! I love watching that happen.
So many positive changes now & on the horizon for you! Please don’t hesitate to take some real time off. We’ll still be here when you return. 😊
I'm excited! Thank you so so much~
I enjoy your videos so much! I love watching you doodle and your voice is so calming!

Hi Helen! Thanks so much for being you and sharing your self with all of us ❤ do you have your veggie chili recipe posted anywhere?
yur videos are always amazing! you are amazing, but it is important to take breaks when needed xxx
I'm glad that you are thinking of having an actual break. I hope you get a lot of relaxing done. You work too hard. We will always wait for you if you do go on a vacation.
I know the bridge and even as a passenger I find it super scary! Even my mom who’s in her 50s avoids it at all costs 😵💫
Yuppppp!!!! Thankfully it went okay!

I’d love to see time schedule one ! I have hobonichi and endlessly I’m always the writing same things 😂

Hi I ❤ you handwriting and how you do your daily journaling. Are you going to restock your washi on your site? Can’t wait to order😊
I’m one of the early ones yay ❤
What fountain pen are you writing with and what nib size?
I haven't tried the black bean brownie recipe
what brand walking treadmill did you get?
Care to share veggie chili recipe you use?
What journal do you use?😊😊
You definitely need to take a few weeks off. Your Mom knows best ♥️😘
I love Helenday❤
we care about you !
How much washi is on one roll? Do all of your washis have the same amount? Hope you can take some time off and enjoy! ^_^
I obviously don't know you and I don't want to impose... but I'm so worried about your health. I'm really terrified that you will soon be at a breaking point and suffer from severe burnout. So please, please listen to your mom
