2024 TECHO KAIGI ✷ my journals & planner and... I designed my own notebooks!

These are the three notebooks that I’m using in 2024 as my journal, planner, and a sort of catch-all idea book. I also am super excited to launch the notebooks that I designed!

I’ve literally was just telling myself that my ideal TN standard size inserts are small grids and tomoe paper - you’re an algorithmic blessing🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@leeleeb.2784]

Love the simplicity of your notebooks. And on a side note, LOVE-LOVE-LOVE your haircut. You look amazing!

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you so much! 🥰🥹

[@mimiandthemuse]

Sarica, your pixie suits you so well! It's adorable and sophisticated at the same time! I also love your notebooks. ❤

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you so much-on both counts! 🥰

[@mimiandthemuse]

@@SaricaStudio 😊

[@Imaginedancers]

Been on the hunt for a new notebook and want to make more use of my TN. Perfect timing. I love that your inserts have 100 pages and it’s tomoe river paper.

[@SaricaStudio]

Yes, TRP is a must! ✒️ 🥰

[@abbaschild2499]

Loved your set-ups and your pixie cut. Praying for vibrant health for you and your family🙏❤

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@walkingexercise5375]

I am glad I found your channel! Your videos and journals/notebooks create a warm and creative atmosphere! Wonderful idea about an idea notebook and the phase replenish your mental health and physical health. My goals include self-care and wellness! So I have been watching KZbin videos for ideas, for example, Diane in Denmark on her Friday videos is providing 4 self-care assignments one could choose from for the week like this week includes creating new outfits. Also Mariane Cresp has a video called Boost Your Mood and Kennedy from the channel Cozy K has a video about a hobby basket! I also like Jashii Corrin mental health journal videos! Congrats on designing your own notebooks! Prayers for healing!

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you for being here 🥰 and for sharing so many great recommendations!

[@marialuisagarabelli9235]

Oh my goodness. I love your little handwriting!

[@sherrygraham8650]

I love that you are okay with the blank days, so many people seem to have such a problem with that. I too love your hair, I tried something like it once and all mine did was spike straight up. Yours is beautiful, mine wasn’t.

[@SaricaStudio]

I think theres a lot of pressure to be constantly productive, and since planners are usually a tool for productivity, that translates to a sort of shame when there are blank days. Got to accept that we are human, not machines and there will be blank days ❤️ Hey, my hair sticks up too! I had to cut my hair short out of necessity a few years ago and have since embraced the change. I’ve got to use plenty of product and wrap it in a scarf after I wash it in order for it to lay the way I want. Pixies take maintenance!

[@melissac4304]

Watching your video brings me a sense of peace.🤍

[@SaricaStudio]

thank you 🥰😌

[@coco_plans]

What a beautiful review of your system, Sarica! Your new inserts are stunning❤

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you so much Coco! 🥰

[@tlembro]

Just ordered the new notebooks….beautiful! I thought that you had a new hairdo! It looks wonderful!

[@SaricaStudio]

Yay! Thank you! I hope you like them and I can’t wait to send them to you 🥰

[@barbifaragoova1705]

Dear Sarica, you are looking so beautiful! And your voice is absolutely perfect. The planners are gorgeous. Love the video! :)

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you so much this means a lot to me 🥰❤️🥹

[@rosamondjourdan1487]

Loved the close look of your notebooks and planners. Even more excited now to receive my first fern notebook. Loved this video 😊

[@magsc899]

Hi Sarica, your notebooks are so cute! Do you plan on making more inserts with bigger grid size?

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you! I would love to make different grid sizes, dot grid, lined, blank, and other configurations in the future! Since this is my very first batch of notebooks, I chose the grid I personally prefer ☺️

[@nymaamyn]

Sarica, love your new haircut! Suits you very well ❤

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you! ❤️

[@LeaverWild]

Sarica! It’s nice to see you. ❤️‍🩹

[@staciabrown6383]

Preordered 2 pockets and stickers. Love your hair cut 😊

[@SaricaStudio]

I can’t wait to send them to you! Thank you 🥰

[@doris1998]

Love everything plus your voice! So relaxing to listen to.

[@AvivaHadas]

Love your stickers and tiny collages. (I had to order some, just wish I ordered in time for the Washi tape style stickers.)

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you! I’m considering bringing back the washi style and/or making actual washi tapes soon ☺️

[@iheartmarie]

Longer videos are so much better. Very relaxing vibe. Thank you for your effort with these videos and the beautiful journals.

[@SaricaStudio]

Really glad to hear it! Thanks so much! ❤️

[@n_evermore]

Omg you're back!! I think I followed you since 2018 or 2019? It's so cool that you're selling your own notebooks now, they're so pretty! ^^ Wish your business nothing but success!

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you! 🥰 glad to be back!

[@Talkin-fr0g]

I did use the A5 TAN for a good while last year but found my way back to the B6 size through the Classic B6 Daily Planner by Aura Estelle- B6 is just MY size haha

[@SaricaStudio]

I’ve heard great things about Aura Estelle! ❤️

[@ChantelleArts]

These are wonderful, I love your video aesthetic ☺☺

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you 🥰❤️

[@pimprunelle1]

I love ❤

[@StudioBAS]

Loved watching this, Sarica! You're always an inspiration to get out my notebooks. This year (so far) I'm using a digital planner from Mossery, and a Mossery notebook for my journal/idea/commonplace book. I would love to break my TN's out of the closet and use them! I love the passport size for journaling, as its easy to take along or put in my nightstand. I didn't see your commonplace book here, are you still using it? Or has the idea notebook taken its place?

[@SaricaStudio]

Ooh Mossery is excellent! Sooo… ever since I moved my planner out of my commonplace book, I haven’t actually written anything in it. I’ll still use it with printed out information but I didn’t know if it could count as a “notebook” - it really is more like a binder since I don’t write in it except for a few notes in the margin. I thought about including it though! 🤔 ultimately I left it out since I’ve done other videos on it and it doesn’t have much handwriting. Thank you so much 🥰

[@bonniemiles]

Happy to have found your channel ❤

[@cesspresso]

My family and associates are bemused by my handwriting because it is so small. Even generally selecting medium sized nibs in my fountain pens doesn’t change my lettering size. But yours beats mine by leagues! I’m impressed 🎉 Also, your planning system is lovely and visually satisfying.

[@sujeyplans7720]

New planner energy is so real! 😂 my planners show the same early hype!

[@SaricaStudio]

Right? I was cracking my knuckles getting ready to plan in December… then… well you saw what happened 😂😮‍💨

[@donnabrown9378]

Your notebooks are lovely. I'm using a Happy Planner.

[@diananortman2905]

You are beautiful, Sarica❤

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you 🥰

[@Kdmud]

Thank you, your videos are so lovely and peaceful! Hope you and your family feel better soon! Love your journal lineup. I have A&O main journal, a few Hobonichi weeks for fun, and then a bunch of art and common placing books of varying sizes! 😅 p.s. your hair cut is so pretty!!🧚‍♂️

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you so much! A&O and Hobonichi are amazing-I have loved using them in the past ❤

[@Kdmud]

@@SaricaStudio I agree! I really took a deep drive in my love for journals and sketchbooks ( I don’t want to do a final count😩), but the love is real, and I use or gift them, so I won’t beat myself up…🤪 Your inserts are so beautiful, and I’ll show up for mine…😁

[@jsbutterfly11]

A wonderfully inspirational video as always. Quick question, what is the envelope (?) that is sticking out of the card slot on your Regular TN canvas insert?

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you ❤️ it is a little handmade envelope of stickers-fyi there’s a free template for mini envelopes on my website!

[@yuthy3365]

Love all your notebooks ❤. I'm using Iconic planner size A6 for 2024 . Next year I will try using notebook like yours for yearly planner. Thank you for your video😊

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you so much! 🥰❤️

[@sharonostrowsky37]

1st time viewer. Enjoyed this video and your style. I do wish you zoomed in a bit more.

[@SaricaStudio]

Welcome! And I will note that for next time!

[@writingraven3314]

I have Handmade Books at Home. I've tried a journal and a sketchbook and both were difficult for me, but I'm going to try a watercolor handcover journal next. I love your inserts and hope they sell well.

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you so much! I still have to gather some bookbinding supplies to be able to attempt those projects! Have fun with the hardcover watercolor project! I’d love to try that one day as well.

[@HaneenNoor-d5y]

❤❤❤

[@daughteroftheblessed839]

Your notebooks are lovely, do you ship to Canada

[@SaricaStudio]

Yes indeed! Thank you ❤️

[@Richard_Barnes]

Congrats on the notebooks, however I'll wait till you get older and need a massive page grid and then I'd be interested in them 😆👍🏻3.5mm grid, unreal.

[@SaricaStudio]

Thanks-lol that’s fair! Have you seen Kleid notebooks? They have a 2mm grid that’s too small even for me!

[@tammyrovo7445]

I enjoyed you video. Do you have links to the planner and travelers note book?

[@SaricaStudio]

Thank you! Yes, all the links are in the description!

[@CristinaLaiASMR]

I like your videos 😊非常棒

[@SaricaStudio]

Glad you’re here! 谢谢 ❤

[@heyjennylee]

Do you take out your notebook inserts when writing? I find that the Passport folds into itself too much even with a clip!

[@SaricaStudio]

Hi! So I take out my passport inserts to stamp the date but I like to leave it in the cover while I write in cursive but not for print. So my answer is-sometimes!

[@heyjennylee]

@SaricaStudio That makes a ton of sense. I will try journaling with the insert out of the cover. That may help me have a better writing experience. Thank you!
