♥ 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. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Seeing Helen’s beautiful face has been a great treat along with this video. Such a great vlog and adventure. Taking notes for when I decide to take a trip to Chicago.
Omg thank you Amanda
I agree! She is just so beautiful inside and out.
How is it possible that Helen is simultaneously chic and classy while also being cute as a button :) Love this vlog!
Omg stop you all are so kind 😭 Thank you!
Right?!
What a lovely video Helen, was also nice to see your beautiful face and put it together with the voice.Thanks for sharing bits of your vacation with us.❤
Oh goodness thank you Monica
Hi Helen!! 🎉 Those were Canada Geese, not ducks, that you saw, and they probably came to say hi to you!!! 😆 In actuality, that would have been a whole flock fuelling up as they continue their V-shaped flight further south. I can’t help but say that despite the hard year you’ve had, you just seem more and more confident by the minute while letting your personality, humour, and interests shine. Outsiders can never know what goes on inside a person and struggles don’t stop with the snap of the fingers, but I hope that you take some time to reflect on your many positive traits, your courage, your willingness to try, and how much you are evolving. I love seeing you find joy in the magic of small things and sharing yourself with others. 🥰
I've used earrings to pop out my SIM card!!! And to answer Helen's question about the Italian theme at the bakery, it's because they've partnered with Rocco Princi to bring his bakery into the Roastery! And his is a Milanese bakery!
SIM cards bring out our resourcefulness lol. Thank you for the info!!! Learned something new~
How I love these surprise videos in the middle of the week 😍😍😍
Yay enjoy!!!!
OMG HELEN!!!! I absolutely love this vlog!!!!! You deserved every bit of enjoyment. That ink color is glorious!! I'm so happy you got to go to the Reserve!!! The bakery there is dedicated to Rocco Princi who is an amazing Italian Baker. Check him out! His story is amazing. Everything just makes me want to go to Chicago!!!
Thank you SO much!! Omg thank you, off to read!
I hope you do not take this wrong, but your videos are so relaxing to watch I often fall watch them before bed and I fall asleep so easily. :) Your voice is so gentle and I am soooo impressed with how much you travel on your own and do with your business. You are an amazing young woman and have inspired my 50 + year old self to journal even more and to not forget the little details and to doodle more in my journal. :)🤍🤎
OMGOSH, Helen, seeing your face throughout this video has been such a joy. You’re stunning, inside and out! 😍
Ahh thank you so much
It was so nice to see you in your video. You are adorable and I love your personality! I'm so glad your enjoyed your time in Chicago❤
Thank you so much Maryam!!
First time I see Helen 🤭 Your videos give me so much peace. Thank you so much🥰. If you were to sell your products in Peru, I would definitely be your costumer 😆
Aww thank you so much Mariade!!!
3:00 😂Thank Goodness for STATIONARY!!😂 Hope ya having a wonderful time ❤!! from Ohio🇺🇸
It’s so nice to see your lovely face in this vlog! I admire you so much, Helen! I wish that I would have been more independent when I was younger. I love how you just get out and walk in unfamiliar cities to do the things on your bucket list! Very impressive young lady! Please, get some rest and thank you for taking us along with you! 💕👏👍
this has been one of my favorite videos . Thank you so much for vlogging your adventures! You should travel more often. I love seeing this side of you
I've been watching this italian girl vlogger and she explained that bar in italy is not like western bar but a coffee bar. She showed typical Italian coffee bar which sells baked goods - all with Italian names e.g. croissant is actually called cornetto and others like limonella, etc. There is also an italian coffee bar in Vancouver called Giovanni or Bacarro which has excellent coffee and other baked goods with Italian names. Starbucks Reserve probably wants to resemble typical Italian Coffee bar different from usual retail ones.
Ohhhh that's so interesting! I guess I have 2 places to visit in Vancouver now ;)
Thank you for taking us on your journey! I felt like I was on a relaxing trip with a close friend 🤗 Glad you made it back home safely!
I love your fashion. . . chic and sophisticated✨
Aw thank you!!!
Love seeing you have fun ❤
So fun! Looks like you enjoyed the trip ❤❤❤
Thank you Helen for sharing this experience with us ❤
I miss travelling so much ! I'm so happy for you. This seemed like a lovely trip, and you definitely deserve to have some fun 😊
I absolutely love watching your videos Helen! They are soo calming and I truly enjoy watching all your content!
Ahh thank you so much lovely!
Loved that video! Thank you for taking us along 😊
So glad you had a good time in my city. The rounded escalator in the Starbucks reserve amazes me. And the coffee shop you were in is pronounced phonetically Inteli-gent-sia they have great coffee. I haven’t been to Atlas yet, but I need to get my butt down there.
I loooved this video!! It so fun to watch your adventures!
Thank you Em!
I really enjoyed coming along on your trip to Chicago. Thanks for filming it!
It was so, so good to see you having so much fun in Chicago! The cafes looked incredible.
Just in case it comes up again, you can sometimes use a paperclip to pop out the sim tray too! I've had to do that at work before. ^_^
Looks like you had a good time. Makes me happy for you. ❤
What a surprise Vlog! Im so glad you are having a blast both in Chicago and orlando. Miss you, helen.
Lovely to see your face 💖💖 Great travel video!
Helen, you thinking of your customers so they are not wasting shipping fee is so so kind of you
I always enjoy watching your vlogs. Inspires me to vlog more and more. Its so much fun to watch you taking a break and travelling. Looking forward to the next video now.
those cakes look delicious ❤
They were!!
I absolutely love Chicago! It's one of my favorite places to visit!
Absolutely loved seeing more of your face. Thanks for sharing your experiences ❤
Such a great video. It was really nice to spend time with you, Helen!
As always, delightful! Thank you so much for sharing part of your Chicago experience with us! My niece overheard your video and now she's craving one of every pastry you talked about...so not fair, lol! 🥰Looking forward to your next video!
It looks like you had amazing time in Chicago … walking, food, museums and shopping! I so enjoyed your vlog. Thanks for sharing.
PS you are right, we are a nice bunch here 😍
The mechanical pencil trick worked for me too a couple years back, you've reminded me i need to pack that tool in my travel kit 😄
Such fun! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures. 🎉
Thank you Denise!!!
The names of the Starbucks Reserve pastries are in Italian because they’re all concepts from the Princi Bakery in Milan!
Learned something new!!
I enjoyed this vlog so much! Thanks for posting Helen!
Helen you are stunningly gorgeous and I love your outfits ! I giggled when you talked about sardines! I still haven’t tried mine- I’m scared but you loving them helps me to be brave ! So glad you enjoyed Chicago ❤
These videos are my favorite ❤️ and they make me so happy to watch. Thanks for sharing this Helen!❤
Aww thank you Denrey!!!
You really had a blast going to those places Helen. Good for you!!
So many different coffee places nearby where you stayed and all so good!
Can't wait for the Florida video.
I’m only halfway through watching this vlog, but I love it so much! I’m glad you kept in the part with you talking to yourself, I do that a lot as well haha. You can feel all of the excitement radiating from you throughout the video. It’s so refreshing to see. I think the extended Black Friday option is great as well. I hope you’re able to take that trip to Italy someday. ☺️❤️
Aww thank you Angel!!! I'm glad you like the BF idea!
This is by far my favorite vlog from you. You are beautiful. Bless you! ❤
You did great on your first solo trip since being back in BC. Despite what you went through you are a champ through and through. So proud of you! 🤗🥰😘
I’m so glad you enjoyed yourself! I love living in Chicago and it was cool seeing you enjoy the city. Until we meet again 🫶🏽
Intelligentsia is great! Loved seeing your travels.
Thank you Kathy! Go for it, even if it's only for yourself!
I’m from Chicago and I absolutely love Atlas Stationers! I used to walk by the store everyday on my way to work and it was really hard to not go in and buy everything!
Ahhhh lucky!!! Although not lucky for your wallet hehe
So lovely seeing what you got up to on your holiday! I love all the coffee shop goodness. I almost cried at the end with Garrett’s popcorn! I got snowed into the Chicago airport and ate hot Chicago blend with the best of friends and got Voges chocolates 🥰
It's fun to see you documenting your trip! 😊 Btw, FYI if anyone needs to change sim card, Can always just use a toothpick. It totally works!
I looooved this video! Agree with everyone else that said it was a treat seeing you. Thank you for taking us along! I want to visit Chicago now!
Ahh thank you so much LaQueenie
You sound so very happy. So glad you had a nice visit. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you Taryn!
Hope you enjoyed our beautiful city!! I moved from Illinois to Idaho a couple years ago and miss Chicago all the time. 💝 Thanks for the video!
I sure did!!!! Thank you so much
Helen 👑💐 Thank you for sharing your trip with us. I enjoyed watching your vlog.

Never thought of visiting Chicago before your video. Adding it to my bucket list.💖

Working from home and saw a notification of your new video. Wow! Your face is a breath of fresh air. 🤗I'm happy that you enjoyed the scenery and the food 🥐☕🍪
Really enjoyed watching your video! You have me ready to take a trip to Chicago! Thank you for sharing! 😊
How much fun was this! I've only been in Chicago's airport but I've wanted to visit for real for years. Now, thanks to Helen, I want to go even more. Don't you love big cities that are friendly :) I've been to Orlando, it'll be so fun to see Helen's perspective there too.
Thank you sharing this video, it was really nice to see you so relaxed, and having fun 🎉 I can not wait to watch the next one x
Thank you Antoinnette!!!
I’m glad you agree that the cookie is amazing!
I absolutely loved this vlog! I loved seeing your face as well! I am glad you had such fun in Chicago. I have only been to the O'Hare Airport. Can't wait to watch the next vlog!
Aunty ( your mom) is so thoughtful. I love the thought behind the extension
She is THE best!
Loved this vlog, Helen! So fun to get to see your ambitious and exciting adventures to explore all the cafes, shops and the museum you wanted to go to too! You walked so much and went to so many places in a short time! Sorry you didn’t get to go to the art museum! 😢 But you should be so proud of yourself for being so brave and adventurous! 🎉❤ Thanks for sharing you and your travel with us. I can’t wait to see the Orlando planner conference vlog!! - Christina 😊
Ahh thank you so much Christina! I appreciate your encouragement so so much
Lovely travel vlog, the food looked great!
Your dimples are so cuuute! Thanks for all the cafes, now I wanna visit all of them haha

I love that in this vlog you show us your beautiful face! Your joy is infectious! We have to get you to NYC, u know I will make sure you see it all!!!!
Hi Helen, I'm new to journaling and planning and find your drawings just so adorable. I cant wait to place my first order tomorrow. I literally was starting to have a panic attack and not even sure why but you have such a comforting voice and I turn to TH-cam for company and found this latest video and felt so much better. Ty for that, you truly just changed my day :)
I’m also relatively new to journaling and I recommend checking out her subscriptions, next order date is Jan 1st I believe and you get products quarterly I believe? I can’t wait😊
@@marnierose7816 hi Marnie, yes I saw in her Facebook group. I can't wait to sign up. I hope I don't miss it lol. Tysm
Helen, you are so beautiful (inside and out) my friend! I'm so glad you were able to meet planner friends in Chicago! :) Oh, no. I'm so sorry that the bag broke on your long walk. I love Paper Source and I really wish there was one near where I lived.
It was nice to see your pretty face. This was very interesting. I live close to Chicago. When you mentioned everyone was so nice there’s a saying: Midwest Nice-because we’re so genuine. Glad you had fun. Makes we want to visit those coffee shops.
What a great time! You need to do this more often😉
You were in my city! I hope you had fun, thank you for sharing 💜.
LOVED IT! Thank you for watching!!
This vlog was amazing. And it's good to finally see a face with the voice and hands. I am glad this was a successful adventure for you.
Aww thank you so much!!!
I love this vlog and thank you for sharing your trip with us ❤ Looks like you had a great time in Chicago. I'm not much of a sweets person but all your pastries looked amazing 😍
ahhhhh, so lovely, Helen! Chicago is a favourite place for my husband and me as we purchased our wedding rings there! The architecture is so incredible and I agree, the people are so warm and lovely! Chicago and Toronto are often compared and labeled as being similar. Obviously I love Toronto, but I just don't see it. Sadly, Toronto tore down too many of her architectural gems :(
It was so fun to join you on your travels! Levain is unforgettable! When I go to NY, I pack tupperwares to bring cookies back for myself & family. We freeze them and savor them slowly. There were copycat recipes online that are sooo good as well! ❤
I sooo should have done that!
Very exciting to watch your vlogs In America!! And seeing your gorgeous face!! Love the vlog!
😂 you talking to yourself is soooo me…. Even down to the change in voice at the end and the laugh 😂
But i LOVE this video …. I was smiling the whole time watching /hearing how much fun you had
THANK YOU! Hahaha I nearly choked when I came across this footage XD
Loved this vlog! I’m glad you had a great trip! I love Chicago too! The science and industry museum is my favorite but field museum is a close second. I’m from Wisconsin just to the north and we call this regions friendliness the “midwestner friendly”.
Helen this was an awesome video…thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Please come to Cali one day. 😉
Thank you so much! ON MY LIST!
❤I have been thinking about your stickers lately- I need to buy more 😂
Aw thank you!!!
Your voice is so soothing!
I see Helen!!! 🥰
Helloooo
Dang, girl! I live in Chicago and didn’t know about some of the places you visited. I put them in my planner to try. I’m glad you enjoyed your trip here. Chicago is a beautiful city with a lot of fun things to do.
Loved this video ❤. You’re so pretty and sweet Helen, love your highlights of Chicago. I’ve always wanted to go (I’m in Australia do a little far 😂) and after watching your video I told my husband we have to go!! 😅. Thank you for taking us with you ❤
Aww thank you so much!! I hope you get the visit one day!!! It was such a great experience ^_^
Thank you for sharing your trip to Chicago. I'm sorry you didn't get to see the Art Institute. I was in Chicago briefly, but this video made me want to go back. (And definitely to Atlas Stationery. I've ordered stuff from there, but there's nothing like seeing it in person. I hope you show more of yourself. You're so naturally pretty. Hugs!
Omg i love you. Now you inspire me to walk and walk haha. I hope to improve my daily steps 😂 (this is out of topic lol).
You are an inspiration.
Ahhh thank you!!! Yesss explore your neighbourhood!
Thank you for extending the BF sale instead of having 2 separate sales!! I wish everyone would do this. I hate having to put in extra thoughtfulness for shopping. I just want to shop without worrying when is the best time to shop, if that makes sense.
Helen! I was so surprise to see you face on a vlog. You are so beautiful. I hope you show it more. I LOVE YOUR TRAVEL VLOG and I'm so glad there will be a part two. ☺
Love your travel blogs 😊❤
Thanks for sharing your adventures! I how the trip was wonderful for you. Love Trader Joe's! And will check out those many other places you mentioned in Chicago next time I'm there. Really want to go to Atlas!
Loved this Surprise video vLog and OMG Helen you are so freaking cute!!!❤
this has solidified my belief that we MUST take a trip together because we are the exact same person
late to this but yes, Lauren is me and me is Lauren.
