I just found your channel yesterday and it's been so soothing to listen to your videos and your thoughts in the background while I set up my 2025 system and plan stuff out! I've been feeling journal fatigue for a long time now, and it's nice to get back into the hobby while listening to people like you talk about the same thoughts and feelings :) it feels a bit like we're all journaling together at the same time and it makes me really love this space
Thank you!! Oh that’s so sweet. I’m glad you found my channel (although not sure my voice was very soothing this week with this cold! 🤣) I think journal fatigue is just part of the hobby, there won’t be ups if there aren’t downs eh? Xx
Still watching, but wanted to comment on the MD paper. Sometimes if you use a Tombow sand eraser lightly over it and brush it away you can write on it again. I do not know why! Also works when you want to write where a sticky note has been.
"some new Pelikans I want to try. As in the pens, not the birds" 🤣🤣🤣 The fried egg jellyfish pen looks beautiful, lovely colour! Thank you for the update video, and hope you feel better soon 💛
🤣🤣 I don’t think writing with the bird pelican would be the best idea. Thank you!! I’ve been binge watching your currently inked videos these past few days!!
Hi Jo, loved this video and seeing your new pens. I am so glad you like the TWSBI 1.1 stub. I won’t buy any more steel nibs but I do looove how the shading and shimmer inks show-up with the stub nibs - I dare you to try 😜 I also got a couple of new pens but waiting on them from Japan 🫣 I am sorry to hear your leave has come to an end, hopefully work won’t be too stressful when you go back. I was sad to hear you got ill but hope you are on the mend. I hear you about U.K. train stations the further out of London you go, it been a while since I was at Reading but it is also that time of year when everything becomes so beautiful but also the start of a bitter chill in the air!! 😶🌫️🥶 I really love your new notebook cover, it’s beautiful and so right for the season. Sending you lots of positive healing thoughts for a speedy recovery, Varsha.
@@Jojournals90 ooh thanks for the ink tip. I will have to look into that one 🙏🏽👍🏾 … was that a un/conscious typo with my name? That is how my name is pronounced phonetically! 🙀🫶🏽😹
Hey Jo, I always enjoy your A5 cousin flips and they are really inspiring me to pick up my cousin and start journaling again rather than leaving vast empty pages! I also love how you're bringing your digital commonplace book to life on paper! I've recently indulged in an ipad and wondered if you might consider making a future video on how you navigate digital planning/commonplacing/goodnotes alongside paper planning/journaling? I am a bit of a technophobe so any tips and tricks would be hugely appreciated!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you have started journaling again (especially in the cousin but that might be me being biased haha) I am definitely planning on a video on digital common placing once I’ve become more familiar with my system and worked out the kinks. Watch this space 👀😍
Wow, we both got A5 journal fatigue around the same time! Me a little earlier. I’m heading to A6 for definite. I just made a video about guilt-free flip-flopping as well. 😊 It DOES sound so weird about seeing your mum in her vicar role & you not being religious etc. How great we have our journals to write these weird days out huh? Tfs your days.
Sorry to hear you've been Ill! I really enjoy your videos and the chatty format that you use. I definitely relate to 'cold brain' but to me that's just my regular 'ADHD brain'! Always excited to see your new journal set-ups and covers! :)
OMG!!!! No, but this year for the first time got me a Midori MD because I love the whole aesthetic of it and was told it was good paper… but no, I had the same issue and ended up hating it! All pens skip awfully (fountain pens, gel pens, ballpoint pens) I thought that my new uniball one pen was defective and was ready to buy a new refill and throw away the pretty new one that came with the pen, but decided to test it on my old books and yeah, works perfect on my survival Hobonichi and when I changed books in July it also worked perfect on my Stalogy. I am so bummed because i loved the notebook’s look and feel, but the paper was a huge letdown. I am glad I was suggested your video, I don’t feel like a hater anymore 😅 Maybe it was a bad batch, but I am not eager to find out, I will stick with what I know from now on.
I’m glad I’m not the only one having this issue. Is it a bad batch! Although I’ve had the same issue in a few books. I think I’m just going to stick to stalogy or tomoe river paper. Even Leuttchrum (sp?) is better than midori. So weird!!
Ohh so you were the one who was looking for that hobonichi cover! I was watching Tori's video and I was like, "wait I remember that cover... Someone was looking for that!" if i remember correctly the platform she bought that from is mercari or something that sounds like that 😂 So happy that that cover is on its way to you!
Ahhhh mercari!! That’s what the site is called. We don’t have it in the UK so I can never remember. Thank you!! I am so excited to have it in my collection 🤗
Lovely video as usual❤️ I immediately went and watched the what’s in my bag video because I love Emma Watson too! Can I ask, what’s the difference between your morning pages and your daily journaling in the avec? Do you ever feel like you’re repeating things between the two books? I used to do morning pages and I loved it but I’m worried it might feel repetitive doing that and daily journaling in my cousin.
Thank you!! That’s a great question and I am planning on talking about morning pages in a future video. For morning pages I just get it all out, it’s not well formed writing and often very personal thoughts and feelings. My Hobonichi is more refined. Essentially, but morning pages are emotions and my avec is what happened. Hope this helps!! X
those new pens are gorgeous! so is your new cover :) i hope you feel better soon, Jo. 💛 thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you!!!
lovely format in your journal! hope you feel better!
I'm still watching but I wanted to say that your new cover is absolutely GORGEOUS! ❤
It’s dreamy, and so soft and feels beautiful. 🤩

Ooh, I will have to give this a go. I love the B6 books and don’t know why I don’t get along with the paper when everyone else is?? 🤷🏻♀️

I wish TH-cam had touch sensory thing because this cover is so soft and squishy!!

@@Jojournals90 it does, thank you!
Omg I'm from shropahire! ❤no one ever knows where it is!
It’s beautiful. Shrewsbury’s pen store is also amazing! I go in every time I’m there.
@@Jojournals90 I'm from Telford and love a trip over to Shrewsbury and the pen shop😊
I can’t seem to track down Georgina Journals… could you help point me the right way? Thank you!
Ahh I missed her off the description. Here you go: instagram.com/_georgiajournals?igsh=MWI1dnZpcjUwbWx1 go send her some love 🫶🏻
You may have mentioned this in another video, but where is your pencil case from?
Hey! It’s from a brand called &liebe. They come in tan and black. I got mine from miso paper where they are doing preorders for the new batch. 👍🏻
❤
Feel better soon! Wishing you happiness.
Thank you!!
