An ENTIRE Week of Journaling and Planning | Beginner Tips, Journal With Me, & Stationery Favorites

[@binarytrash]

As someone who doesn’t like the look of too much decorations and doesn’t have so much free time to spend on it, it’s really hard to find other people who use their journals to just put their thoughts on the paper without the pressure of making every page look extremely cute. To me, seeing pages filled with words looks extremely pleasing & it gives me the feeling of a well used journal that it’s not all for show. I’d like more people to embrace the simple things on social media but oh well..

I love love LOOVEEEE the pilot vanishing point (I love the whole video but I just have an obsession with this pen 😭 it's so convenient!! I love it so much)

Dear Raquel, thank you for being here. I am only half way thru this beautiful video and I need to say, Thank you being here, I really needed you and your channel. It is 1:40 am on the West Coast of Canada, and i fully mean this, thank you for the medicine I needed. (& i have always wished to visit NY, NY!). I sure wish I could win a printer like yours! That is so very kind of you. Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do watching your videos! I am in my 60s and had a stroke. I have re-learned how to read, and I now have very shaky hands so I cannot draw/paint as I used to. I bought a couple of fountain pens that I could afford so I can record some memories before I lose them. Thank you for your inspiration and the writing ‘a day’ in the wee boxes on the calendar. That cd be a big help for me. Thank you for the relaxing music both in the restaurant and in the background! Nice & mellow! Thank you for so openly sharing, what a gift! I wish that I cd write like you, so tiny that no one cd read it! But I can no longer control my writing as well, but I’m finally becoming accepting to having to write/print big & messy now❤. How do you print your wee photos for your 54:12 journal?! Thank you from your newest fan / follower, kari in Victoria, BC Canada 🥰

Wow! thank you so so much for taking the time to write such a beautiful comment and I'm so sorry to hear about what has happened but I can tell that you are someone who's determined to live life to her fullest. I'm so happy that I could provide you with a bit of inspiration and I'm wishing you nothing but the best! 💗 The photo was a postcard so I didn't print that specific one but I use a Canon Ivy Mini 🥰 thanks again for following and for all your support!

I loved this video, Raquel!! Perfect mix of vlogging and journal with me footage 👍 To answer your question, I like the music but I like the voice over even more 😊 And the cozy evening light. Thanks for all the inspo!❤

[@LaraEwanchuk]

I loved the style of this video! It was such a nice mix of you journaling and talking, along with video footage of your activities. Lots of thoughtful and useful journaling tips as well. Of course it was made all the better by the fact that you live in New York - always a treat to see the City even though I live far away in Canada. Looking forward to watching more of your videos in the future.

Thank you so so much for watching!! ♡

[@aubreygarrison5388]

Thank you for another great video! I'm watching this in late February so a little bit behind, but still find it very inspiring. Love your vibe. I'm also interested in that coffee! 😁

[@rockypaperscissorsco]

Thank you so much Aubrey! I really appreciate your support 💖

[@joannewalker6257]

I love the evening yellow light vibe ❤

[@rockypaperscissorsco]

yes!! so happy you love the yellow light vibe I think that's my favorite! it really is such a nighttime cozy vibe ✨🌃

[@creativelygolden]

I absolutely love your journaling style!! Thank you for sharing! What do you do with the weekly pages?

[@sgarcia7351]

Hi! I absolutely loved the sunset! So-so pretty! I’m still watching your video as I’m writing this, you were getting ready to stick that beautiful sunset photo on the 3rd. I wanted to share you could have tipped-in that photo with washi-tape on the day you actually took it instead of sticking it to the following day. I’ve done this myself and it’s a really cool tip. This way you don’t permanently cover up what you’ve written. Anyway, thanks for the video and I just love the scenery of where you live, so beautiful!

[@rockypaperscissorsco]

thank you thank you!! ohhh such a good idea I should have totally done that! Now to think of it I actually have another photo I forgot to stick into a day and I'll totally be using your tip ♡ thanks so much for watching!

[@lory1117]

Loved it🧡

[@rockypaperscissorsco]

thanks so much love! ♡

[@abstractbybrian]

Love the voice over style….

[@rockypaperscissorsco]

thanks for letting me know Brian! Will definitely be doing more in the future!

[@cindywells626]

Just found your channel today. Love it! I’ve only just watched this one, but am hooked and want to watch more! Little bit of a suggestion…how about moving the angle of the camera so we can see the pen touch the paper while you’re writing?! More of a sweet touch to the ASMR in the end? Thank you

[@BlueHorseStitchers]

Hi! I enjoy your videos very much, but have never posted a comment. I wanted to ask, do you not use the A6 Techo anymore??

[@katerutka5547]

Loved this video❤

[@rockypaperscissorsco]

So happy you loved the video! more willing be coming 💕

[@VALENTINOJC]

love the lightening but maybe get a warmer light for the vibes ahahah

[@rakisk8r]

Hello Raquel, i am enjoying this video again as i had a bit of a day & needed some good medicine! I'm curious, was it a challenge at all to get used to writing with a pen-clip near the the grip section of your beautiful Pilot VP? Thank you. i absolutely love your videos, both when you are at your desk and the parts where you are strolling about NYC!! Did you grow up there? i would deeply love to visit some day! Thank you, Raquel! ~kari🦊, West Coast, Canada ☮

[@LifeByDenise]

Hey. You enjoy walking to Lacombe. Don't cut that out totally. So 7 dollars a day is 50 dollars. What if you did 4 days a week Making coffee in house? That would be a 22 dollar savings.

[@rockypaperscissorsco]

completely agree with you!! I gave myself weekend coffee outing trips hehehe but you're totally right about balance ♡

[@ThebookishSAHM]

New sub here so def enjoyed your video format. Thanx for the hobonichi inspo. Hopefully that will help sticking to my own ;)

[@rockypaperscissorsco]

thanks so much for being a subscriber ♡ wishing you all the best on your hobonichi and happy to know you love the format 💖

[@elainelane7130]

At 3:02, where did you get that date sticker?

[@Dark_Venus_]

Love this! So calm and relaxing and everything looks so beautiful ♡♡

[@rockypaperscissorsco]

wow thank you so much for your sweet comment! I'm so happy you loved it and I will be doing more in the future 💗

[@rakisk8r]

Hi Raquel! I’ve gotta ask where did you get the sweet “Mini Calendar” stickers(?), also, what size nib is your pen? I thought I might be able to tell by looking closely at your writing but it looks blurry (hopefully on purpose!). All the Best to you Raquel, kari 🦊 Victoria, BC Canada💕

[@susvne]

love your sticker layout! where did you get the clear cover from? 😊

[@rockypaperscissorsco]

thank you so much! It's from wonderland222 I linked the exact one in my Hobonichi HON setup video 😊

[@mngu]

nothing but raw text on the cousin pages is so intimidating and so admirable. id love to be able to get there someday but if my decor doesnt fill up half my page im too intimidated=

[@MizuMint00]

I wanted that pen until I saw it's 500$ holy crap

[@rockypaperscissorsco]

oh man $500??! Is this in CAD? I definitely didn't spend the retail price, which in USD was $336, I waited for the 20% sale at Atlas Stationers and picked it up for $268 USD, definitely not cheap but it was cheaper!! ☺️ I would definitely wait for the sales to pop up if you really want one ♡

[@MizuMint00]

@@rockypaperscissorsco Yes it's in CAD haha our dollar is worthless right now

[@daiana04]

I love love LOOVEEEE the pilot vanishing point (I love the whole video but I just have an obsession with this pen 😭 it's so convenient!! I love it so much)

[@rockypaperscissorsco]

Same!! I want to have a VP collection hehe! Thank you so much for watching! 💗
