♥ Frequently Asked Questions ♥
Q: Do you plan before, during, or after the week?
A: It varies from video to video, but typically I plan 2-3 times during the week and stitch the clips together. I rarely plan the entire week in advance or the entire week retroactively.
Q: Do you use all of these planners?
A: Yes and no. Every week, there is something in my life that takes priority over the others whether it be school, work, or something personal. Depending on the week, I select a few planners that will help me achieve my tasks! So not every planner is used every week.
Q: How do you get so much done in a day?
A: If you watch any of my journaling vlogs, you’ll realize that I have very poor sleeping habits and so naturally I’m able to fit more things into the day. It’s something I’m trying to fix but admittedly this is the only reason.
That’s just it, Helen - you have carved out a space where you can be yourself (as much as anyone can be themselves at any given time) and share parts of yourself that you normally keep contained…and you’re doing this on a very public and artificial platform, which is often ruthless and downright vicious. THAT’S what needs to be commended - the courage that takes and the fact that you’ve become popular in a way that goes against what everyone says needs to happen on social media and in TH-cam. You have a community not because of fancy equipment and click bait, but because of something good and honest. Congratulations on your 7 year anniversary - may the next 7 years bring even more fulfillment.
Thank you so so much Andrea, I truly appreciatey ou 🥰 Thank you always for your insightful and encouraging comments!
Thank you so much for such sweet words, Helen; and thank you kindly, too, to everyone else who has voted to say they find some value in my comments and observations. I truly cherish the sentiment, and am appreciative to have been welcomed in the community. 🥹❤
Helen, we all watch because you bring calm and peace and enjoyable content in a world of chaos. We don’t care about your nails, or how techy your set-up is, we care that you are being your authentic and true self. I don’t enjoy that you’re stressed or have anxiety, but the fact that you do and tell us you’re struggling is so honest, and makes you so relatable. We enjoy your content. If there’s judgy and cruel people - Please leave that behind and realize they have no power to steal your joy. Keep doing what you’re doing because it’s just right! Happy #7! And you will find a warehouse when it’s right! You’re planning and journaling style is so enjoyable, thank you for what you do on you tube and offering us your artistic talent!
You absolutely made my evening Sharon, thank you so very much!!!!!!
I'm glad you've trusted your gut with the landlord. You will find an office space and it will be perfect and you'll be glad you listened to that small voice warning you of that landlord. Great spread as usual.
Thank you so much Leah!!! I really really hope so too!!!
Happy 7th anniversary. I am thankful that I got to know you this year. I am a too late but still love everything you have shared to us. 💖💖💖
All the things you listed are what makes your videos so relatable and part of why I follow you. You speak like a friend and make planning fun. You’re doing a great job, please never think anything you say or do is not enough or too much. 🎉🎉Congrats on 7 years 🎉🎉
Thank you so much 😭😭😭
Congratulations on 7 years being in business. That's a long time,lol. Most ppl don't make it past 2 or 3. I wish you many many more and I'll be here to share the journey with you!!
It really is a long time and it feels like it! Hehe thank you so much!!!
I greatly appreciate what you bring to this community. Your shop and especially yourself. I love your videos and your products. Also, I’m happy you and your dad listened to your intuition about the office space. Most of the time it is pointing you in the right direction. I know you will find the right one that fits your needs.
Thank you so much Margie! This comment means a lot. I truly appreciate you and your well wishes!!!
Happy Lucky Number 7 Anniversary💚☘ I'm sorry you weren't able to get the warehouse you wanted, but I hope that means you'll find an even better option eventually! I'm really happy that so many people have supported you and your shop these past seven years and I know it will only continue to grow and gain more support😊 All the best to you and the TCMC team and thank you for all your hard work!
Thank you so so much Charnay, this means the world to me!
I love the silence in the end, like winding down, to just observe and enjoy your entries. Congratulations on your remarkable journey of selling your creativity!
Thank you Marie! I will try to incorporate more of that in!
Sorry the warehouse didn’t work out, I think honoring your instincts was the right thing to do. Happy 7th sop anniversary!
Thank you so much Karen! Fingers crossed it was the right thing!
Oh, I just fell in love with the wavy line at the end of saturday. Need that in my life to help let go of the perfectionism related to all those straight lines
its so great hearing about the behind the scenes of your business and how your whole family has become involved! you are so amazing and should be so soooo proud of what you have accomplished in only 7 years!!!! we love u helen!!!! 🤍
Thank you ALWAYS Lauren! You know I love youuuuu!
Happy anniversary! For every business problem and logistic nightmare that stresses you out and drives you crazy, remember that you only have those problems because you've been so successful. You are super inspiring!
Thank you Claire, I appreciate your little pep talk! Hehe I agree, I just need to power through!
Congratulations on 7 years Helen, you have done a fantastic job. I am sorry about the office space but trusting yourself and your dads instincts was a good choice and something even better will manifest because you deserve it. Take care and as always thanks for letting us share your plans and your beautiful personality 😊
Thank you so much Amanda! I appreciate your support!
Happy Anniversary Helen! I'm so happy to be part of this wonderful community. Here is to another 7 years!
Thank you Katie!!! I'm happy you found ussss hehe
Helen, I started watching your TH-cam channel back in 2015. I remember the announcement of your first stickers on Etsy and how exciting it was! It's been inspiring to watch you grow over the years (and go to college!).
HAPPY 7 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!! Hopefully everything goes smoothly for the sale later today!
Omg this comment made my day, thank you SO so so much for your support over the years Melissa!
Congratulations on 7 years Helen!!!! What an accomplishment 👏🏽 🎉❤ and thank you for creating such a lovely space to journal and chat and feel like your not alone dealing with various life things. You truly are a treasured piece of the internet
Thank you so much Kylee! I appreciate your support always!
Yes, happy anniversary!! A better office space and kinder landlord is right around the corner. 🤗❤️🤗
Thank you Denise! I sure hope so too!!
Hi! New follower here! Happy anniversary!!!!! I discovered your channel three days ago and I’m gonna be honest I just watched way too many of “your plan with me” videos. I also journal every day but my aesthetic is very messy (writing in different colors whenever I want, gluing things I found during the day, switching from English to my native language for no reason, writing on another side sometimes, etc) and seeing your planner is soooooo refreshing and mesmerizing (kind of makes me want to do the same, but I know I won’t be able to stay consistent (and I love my way of journaling)). In three days you became my new best journaling buddy since now every time I journal I watch one of your videos so I can have company and feel like we’re journaling together.
Also, your week is impressive (coming from an exhausted student that takes naps whenever she comes home), please remember to rest too!!
Sending you a lot of love, and can’t wait to see more of your videos
Oh goodness, this made my day Ellie! Thank you so so much for your support and I'm happy to be your journaling buddy!!!!!
Congratulations on 7 years Helen! 👏🏽 I remember seeing your emotis on etsy & made my first purchase. Safe to say I have been addicted. It's great looking back at how much you've grown because you were just in high school when you started. You've taken us with you through your journey at university & here you are. You'll get your office when the time is right. No doubt about it.
Thank you so much Jena!!!! Love you bunches and thank you for your continued support throughout the years!
So so so proud of you, Baby Bear! And so happy to have made part of this journey with you! It must be frustrating to get that close to a lease and have it not happen but a better location will come up for you! I know it! Love you and here’s a wonderful and smooth 7 year anniversary sale today!!! 😘🤗
I love you more than you know Helen! Thank you for always being there for me
Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can come your way. I got a little emotional watching this video and hearing you speak about what this anniversary means to you. I have been following you for a long time and it’s you and who you are that makes us stick around. I am not a patient person by nature but for your shop I have learned it’s worth it. Your product and who you are on these videos makes us keep coming back! Congratulations on your shop anniversary 💕
Thank you so much, I appreciate you! This means the world
Thank YOU for your adorable creations!! So happy that your gut, and dad’s, led you to walk away from that questionable landlord situation.👍🏽 Something will come up🌻
Awwww thank you so much LisaMarie! And for your support!
Happy 7-year anniversary Helen! We are so fortunate to have all discovered your shop and one time or another on our planner journal. I for one am glad that you don’t “glam up” your videos. We love you just the way you are. Real.
Thank you so so much Juanita, I appreciate you!
You did the right thing Helen. Always follow your heart and those instincts. All the best with the office search. Onwards and upwards! 🥰
Thank you!!!! I will keep on searchin'!
Happy seventh year anniversary! Please stop apologizing for your nails or for when you feel anxious or stressed out. You are truly an amazing person and you are so inspirational. I'm sorry you didn't get the office/production space you wanted, but I'm sure you'll have a better opportunity. Sending hugs!🤗
Thank you so much Sherry!! You always are so supportive, I appreciate your comments very much
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
God has great plans for you!
Aww, congratulations Helen! I am so happy for you & the success of your shop, it is so well deserved! I'm really sorry that you weren't able to go ahead with that particular office space, but I'm certain you will find the most perfect spot you're looking for. I loved hearing that your Dad is helping you navigate the process as I can't imagine how hard that entire process must be! I also love when you get to talk about spending time with your sister. Y'all seem so close! Best of luck on the big day& cheers to many more years! 🥰🥰
Thank you so so much Jayne, I appreciate your support!!! I hope we get our dream space too hehe
Oh Helen, you are the cutest. I stumbled across your page not too long ago but next year I be setting up a hobo weeks and stocking up from your shop. So till then rock them nails in which ever way they present. They show your hard work. We are human and best of luck on your warehouse/ office search. Best of luck dear and keep doing you. ❤
Thank you so so much Desi!!! I appreciate your support and well wishes!!!
Wow 7 years, congratulations Helen! I can't speak for everyone but I continue to support your channel and your shop because (besides the fact that you are so talented and design awesome stuff) you are a very genuine and down to earth person, which is something I really appreciate. Also your hard work and dedication does not go unnoticed.
It sucks about the office space deal that didn't go through but I feel like it just wasn't meant to be and you'll find your perfect space soon. Happy 7th Birthday TCMC! 🎂🎈🎉🥳🍀🌈
Thank you SO so much Alma, I appreciate your love, support and encouragement!!!
Congratulations Helen🎉 What an accomplishment! How wonderful to have a job that you love❤️ but, Helen you need to give yourself time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. It’s no wonder you have anxiety, it’s too much. Give yourself a break at least one day of rest. Family, friends, brunch, dinner, reading & just plain resting! Allow yourself a day to just be! So talented & you deserve this success. Love you Helen, so does everyone on this channel 💋
Thank you so much Carmen! I appreciate your support so very much
You listened to your gut and that is truly what counts!
Fingers crossed!!!
YAYYYYYY WHO IS HYPED?!!?! thanks helen, keep inspiring and creating!! love your work!! 🎲🎰🍀🥠☘🌠🌈🙏 congrats on 7 years! just found you last year and am happy to celebrate my first tcmc anniversary!!
🎉 memememe! Thank you so much Shilpa!
Happy 7th anniversary, Helen! What makes you so special is that you are genuine, authentic, and true to yourself. In these many, many years that I've followed you, you've always been the same person that you've always been and have never let anything change you. You always make your followers and customers feel special too 💜 congrats to your success and many years to come!
Thank you so so much Des, this comment really made me happy this evening!
Congrats on seven years!!!! I just wanted to say how much your videos have helped me. Your voice is calming and helps with my anxiety, but your plan with me videos have made me invest in a Hobo cousin. Watching your videos just cemented buying one in March despite the fact that I was bullet journaling since November last year and prior to that just a normal planner. But the Hobo cousin is the perfect planner for me! once again congrats on seven years!
Congratulations Helen! 7 years? You are quite an inspiration. Keep on keeping on
Thanks so much Marisa! 😊
I usually don't get to watch your videos :( but I carved out some time today to watch a couple of them. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything you do! Video quality, and all that other stuff, that's comparison. Comparison is the thief of JOY. I know it's hard to stop comparing your work to others, because I do it too. All those things, make you so so relatable and I love that you just keep swimming :) Your work is BEAUTIFUL!
Congrats! 7 years is no small feat-you should be proud of this accomplishment. 😊
I’d never had lucky charms until I went to college and they had them in the dining hall-then I was on a lucky charms spree 😂. Your new designs are so cute and I look forward to my first washi from your shop!
Thank you so much Keesh!! Hahaha I just had it for the first time and it is delishhh
I love just putting your videos on and listening to you talk. I out your videos on and listen while I work. It's so soothing. Happy 7-Year Anniversary!!
Happy 7 year anniversary, Helen! I'm so damn proud of you. I went ham during the sale and I have zero regrets. lol. I love the theme for the anniversary so much! Love your spread, as always. I'm so sorry that the office you wanted fell through. I think you followed your gut and that is the best decision.
Thank you always for your support Amy! I know you save up to shop my sales and it truly means the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo Of course! I have my favorite shops that I try to always support as much as possible and your shop is one of my favorite shops and MY favorite character shop. :) LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!
Hey Helen. Just wanted to say it's a very well earned 7 years and I hope you get to take a rest when things slow down from the sale. Life goes by so fast so don't sweat the small stuff like nails or bad lighting(I've personally never noticed any issues to be honest). Love your videos and love supporting you!
Thank you so very much Angela! I truly truly appreciate your support!!!
Congratulation on 7 years🎉🎉🎉 Seeing your videos is the best part of my week, thank you for all your hard work. You're doing in a good job！
Thank you so so much!!!
So sorry to hear the office fell through 😢 It will all be for the best. You’ll see why eventually❤❤❤
I really hope so Lyndsay!
Helen, l think you are awesome! You are incredibly talented and kindhearted. I am so glad to have found your channel. You make life a lot better. Happy Anniversary 🎉
Thank you so much for your continued support Holly! Your comments always brighten up my day!!!
Here's the thing, social media exhausts me. Plain and simple. It is so bad that I have a dummy Facebook account that I have no friends on just my groups (your group happens to be one 🥰) I love that you are so genuine and real in your videos. You are such a hard worker and have built something amazing. I genuinely look forward to Sunday when I can watch your videos. You have been such a source of inspiration for me in the planner world, so much I could not imagine a day of my life without my Cousin 🤗 and your little stickers are just the cutest. I was surprised I was able to get what I wanted for your anniversary sale and feel honored that I get to be a small part of your success 🙂 Happy anniversary, Helen. Sorry about your office space, but because you are who you are, you'll find something soon. Also, as someone who struggles deeply with anxiety and bouts of depression, I appreciate your realness on that front. It takes courage to openly talk about it, thank you for always sharing your struggles.
Thank you SO much! You ahve no idea how much this comment touched me today. I appreciate you bunches. I hope you have a beautiful day
The newspaper washi sticker is my favorite
I think you are awesome. Our world is so negative. It is good to bring positive vibes into it. Thank you for making my world a positive space. Hugs, Gail
Aww this means the world! Thank you so much Gail!

Thank you so much!! I will try 😊
Happy 7th year shop anniversary Helen! So so excited for all the festivities 🍀💚 Love you
🎉 Love you more Rosalin!!!
Happy anniversary Helen! You can be so proud of yourself, honestly. And I think it was the right decision you turned down the offer for the space, it would have ended with more headache for you in the future. I'm positive you will find the perfect office space in 2023! :) Can't wait to place my order later. (The kit looks SO cute)
Thank you SO so much Sasi, I'm glad I did as well!!!!!
happy anniversary 🌈can't wait for many more 💕
Thank you so much 😀
I have been watching since you were in high school. Thank you for sharing all these years.
Thank YOU Sheryl for all of your support!
Another great video as always Helen… I’m watching after the anniversary opening and it all went well and super smooth! Congrats on 7 years!!!
Thank you so very much Anna!!!!
You have beautiful handwriting. Thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you so much Karen!!!
Happy anniversary Helen! Thank you for sharing all the things! You gave me inspiration to do my own plan with mes and doodle more. Your videos get me through my run days and so much more. I appreciate how genuine and generous you consistently are. So excited for your growth and know you and your dream space will meet when it’s right! ❤
Love your nail color!! Happy 7 Year Anniversary!! So excited for you and excited to shop shop!! Love your channel and creativity!! Thankful to be part of your audience and a customer.❤😊
Thank you so so much Amanda!!!!!!!!!
Hi Helen..I start bullet journaling which helps my mental health tremendously. Vlogs keep referring your stickers so I got curious. I bought some stickers and saw your shipping address was similar to mine. I realize that we are living in the same city. 😆..I hope if you are opening a shop it will be closer so that I can visit it often.
Sorry the space wasn’t right for you but glad you listened to your heart and didn’t sign if it didn’t feel right.
Congratulations on the 7th year anniversary! So amazing! 😃❤️
Thank you Sue!!! I appreciate your continued support!!!
I keep watching because I love hearing your voice, I use your videos as background noise while I journal too 👍❤ happy 7th anniversary 🎉
Big big congratulations on the 7th year anniversary. I really love your shop and your products, I wish I knew about it sooner though! Just discovered the shop around 2 years ago.
I was late to the anniversary event so I had to preorder the washi tapes but I placed a second order with the in stock items and a bunch of stickers. Can't wait to get them ❤
I hope you find a better office space soon, I'm sure you'll find the perfect place. Take care and smile 🥰
Thank you so much for your support!!! I'm excited for you to get the preorder goodies!!
Happy Anniversary! Congratulations on 7 years!
Thank you so much Katherine!!
Your videos are inspiring and thank you for sharing your life with us!! Happy 7th Anniversary ♥️
Thank you so much!!
Because of you I decided to get a hobonichi for my system. I am super happy for you. You are a role model honestly. Of organization and perseverance. Happy shop anniversary!
I'm so happy for you Carolina! I hope you love the Hobonichis!
Hi Helen congratulations on the 7th Anniversary. I love watching your videos.
Thank you so much Jennifer!
Congrats on another year! Must be so exciting. Sorry to hear about the office space, a lot of landlords can be real *insert bad words here*. Lol.
Love the nail color, wishing you many more years of success.
Thank you so much!
LOVE your nail color choice 💕 Inspiring me to pick a Spring color!
You should!
I was wondering if you could do a video with your hand writing! I love the way you write how everything is about the same size and not too much letters go below the line or above. It should be Helen's font!
My daughter and I think your quality is the best!!! 2 hour countdown to the release of the anniversary stock and we are buzzing! X
Thank you so much Shakiara! Omg this means the world!
Happy anniversary! Sorry you didn't get that office you wanted, but I hope you find something even better and more fantastic!
Thank you Brittany for your well wishes! I really really hope so too!!!
Happy anniversary! 🎉I’ve recently discovered you but I’m hooked. I enjoy your videos and your honesty and find them very calming. I wish you all the best this coming year. I’m excited for my order.
Thank you so much ChiChi!
Fun fact: my nickname at home is Qi Qi but it's pronounced Chi Chi!
Honest to God I love this channel ❤️ everytime I see a notification I almost immediately go to watch the video :)
This made me happy to read! Thank you so so much!!
Congrats on 7 years!

I enjoy your videos because it is like listening to a friend. Congrats on 7 years. I just love the Vintage Emoti stickers. My cart is loaded, ready to go - well except for vellum.

Happy Sunday Helen. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I am going to try to make the sals. ❤❤❤
Thank you week after week Kimiko! I appreciate your continued support!!
Love your videos! Never stop being who you are 💜
I can't wait to shop this afternoon! I also didn't grow up eating cereal, and one of the first cereals I bought as an adult was Lucky Charms so it holds a special place in my heart. 🍾 🥂
Looking forward to the next video!

@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo Thanks Helen, I've been eyeing them for a while. Might need to place an order now 🤔
Finally ordered
Thank you Denise!!
Can i ask what you do with your left over stickers from your kits that you haven't used from your weekly pwm xx
Congratulations 🎊
Thank you so much 😀
Always trust your instincts, I think you dodged a bullet with that landlord ❤
Are these only available for the anniversary celebration or will they make it into the shop eventually? Not really in a place to spend right now but I would love to in the future.
Hi hi! Are you wondering about the kit I'm using? if so, kits stay in stock all year!!
Never been so early lol. happy anniversary!!!!
Thank you Alexa!!!
Helen, can u do a tutorial on ur bubble letters please?
is the Galaxy Emoti Acetate ever coming back?
Is there some secret to getting things before they are OOS? New to this and never seem to get there fast enough…also 59 years young so wondering if there is something I am unaware of.
Everything in our anniversary release is either in stock or available as preorder!
