♥ Frequently Asked Questions ♥
Q: Do you do these spreads after the week is over?
A: I always film myself creating these spreads before the week has started and continue to fill it out during the week. I collect the footage at the end of the week and do my voiceover which is why everything I say is in past tense! I always prefer to plan ahead~
Q: How do you use so many planners at the same time?
A: Every week, I choose a few planners for me to use so I’m not actually using ALL of my planners every single week! For example, I always choose a planner for me to take on the go, one for academics, one for business, and one that is more decorative and fun. Part of what I do is showcasing spread ideas so that is why I have so different layouts!
Q: How did you learn your lettering?
A: This is a pretty annoying answer but...practice practice practice! I didn’t use a book or a single resource to learn. I honestly just picked up on the different types of lettering through my daily life (things like book covers, posters, etc.) and practiced whenever possible!!!

What a terrible experience Helen… sorry you had to witness that.

[@phyllisroark8526]

To us it's NOT messy at all. We enjoy the time we are here watching your! You always do what's best for you, we will always wait for ya. You are so sweet and you bring such joy every day we can be apart of your life. So thank you as always for the GREAT video! See ya next time and always take care!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Ahh I always doubt it but thank you so much for the reassurance Phyllis!! Appreciate you so much

[@SapphirasMama]

When you have witnessed a traumatic event, you tend to go through moments where you just don't want to do anything. Its part of where your brain processes what it has observed. Take your time and if anyone has a go at you, we will be there telling them to give you space

[@kyleenorfleet]

Another fun engaging video, not everything has to always be adventures out and about. Something really nice also about the everyday, it gives another feeling of connection that I am all for!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ sending you love and hugs

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

You are too kind Kylee

[@Kay4335]

Your content makes me feel so relaxed! I love your voice and all the natural sounds when you’re writing in your planners or packaging orders. I’m so jealous, I wish my brain worked the way yours does when it comes to making a planner look so perfect all the time! I could watch your videos over and over just to see how amazing the page looks when you’re done! I’m also obsessed with your handwriting! 💕

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Ahh this makes me so happy to hear Kayla! I appreciate your reassurance and encouragement more than you know

[@2BRnot2BRipper]

My dear, dear Helen! You never have to apologize for having a mentally challenging or draining day. You carry way too much on your young shoulders at times! There’s a time for everything! Even if it’s just to rest! Love you!!! 💕

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

I love you so much Helen!!!!! Love you more

[@xychen0404]

I can totally feel u abt getting overly anxious and cannot even think straight haha I’ll even go as far as writing all my script down before the meeting to not say stupid things later haha

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Right?!!? I have made a fool of myself too many times!

[@DuckieM]

When you have a mentally challenging week, it is therapeutic to do something that is repetitive because you know what to expect, like how ppl rewatch movies they like. And there is something therapeutic watching/putting a big sticker (stamp for me), writing the address on a package and sending it off...at least for me.

[@Lynn-yn7cc]

Helen, I am always amazed at your talent and drive. And I selfishly would like it to continue. However, I hope you are taking good care of yourself and giving yourself plenty of breaks. You deserve to enjoy your success.

[@jethroscousininthecabbageg7426]

How does she only have 99k subscribers! Her hand writing should be a font! 😍

[@charnaywiener]

Yay! I love your journaling vlogs 😍 I like how the title says "mundane" but your week was much more interesting compared to mine lol! Also, its really sad what happened to that woman and child😣 It must of been so awful to witness! Well, i hope you have a good week and enjoy the summer heat😋 My hands can't function in the cold right now haha!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much Charnay! Hahaha send me some of your cold!!

[@ForMiniMe]

Helen, I actually loved this video. I honestly seldom watch videos without hitting the FF button a few times, but I actually watched this from start to finish.. LOL So please, keep em coming.. 🙏🏽♥️

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement Autumn!!!!

[@ForMiniMe]

@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo you are most welcome, Helen 💞

[@karenhendricks7782]

Love your vlogs even if you think they are all over the place 🥰 shows you are human and have a busy life

[@wonderwonder30]

Helen, don’t worry about your vlogs being as you would put it, boring. I think I can safely say for your viewers, we don’t think your vlogs are boring, you’re inviting us into your world and that is a treat, in my humble opinion. Do what you can, when you can and we will be here to watch and cheer you on. Sending you love and support ❤️ 💕 💗

[@veraserah]

No worries on lack of exciting content for plan with me's! You make your videos have such a calm vibe that I can enjoy no matter what :) Hope you're feeling better and have a great week!

[@ReneeHarveyDuh]

It seems like you are so busy all of the time, it's not even clear when it WOULD be a good time to film, but if you are feeling stressed and this just adds to it, obviously, you shouldn't pile more stress on. However for us, this is good content. I'm just as interested in the processes behind your business and life as I am in the adventures. I really liked this video. I'm glad you posted it, and I didn't think there was anything dull or messy about it!

[@juiparanjape5113]

Do you ever think about creating a podcast of your vlogs? I mean seriously, your voice is so calming and soothing, I could fall asleep listening to it! Very peaceful! Also yet again, a very lovely video, Love Love!

[@charissasplans]

That painting that you’re working on is amazing!! I love watching your videos even if they’re just you working. Your planning is beautiful and I always get inspired. Have a great week gorgeous ❤️

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much Charissa!!!! Love you lots~

[@claratse3792]

Omg your painting reminds me Kinkakuji! The golden temple in Kyoto!!!! Really enjoyed your video this week, and still love watching your packing process! It’s actually really soothing to watch

[@slie011]

Same! I’m guessing this is one of the paintings that she is doing for her sister’s new place, where she painted a series of places that means a lot to them.

[@eyejay404]

I really enjoyed the “randomness” of this video! It felt like a real sort of studio vlog 🥰

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Hehehe thank you so much!!!

[@jessicamihm7401]

I loved this video Helen-not messy or boring! I love following along with your days.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Ahh thanks so much Jessica!!

[@AmyRaePlans]

I love your vlogs. That is so sad and tragic about the fire and domestic violence incident. I love your emoti shirt so much! It's adorable.

[@chemina7270]

It's ok to take a break :) still a great video because it has you on it! Take care of yourself Helen! 💕

[@Amyduckie]

Omg, that first day you had, wow. I'm so sorry to hear you went through that and for the family. Domestic violence is so awful. Also, I immediately went and put the colour book on my wishlist, sounds fantastic.

[@bleubayou5119]

That is such a scary situation. I’m so sorry for all involved, including you kind bystanders who assisted as best you could. Hope you’ve been okay since. xxx

[@eat5star_donothing.]

By the way your vlogs are always great. I want to ask how do you stay motivated to planning?

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Rinki! For me it's both a source of enjoyment but also a necessity to keep myself on track! I know that if I don't plan, I won't feel good and I also won't be able to get things done

[@merridithnewman2400]

I feel very peaceful watching your videos including making your drinks. nice relaxing music...keep them coming :)

[@michellehoang576]

Thank you for another great planning/journaling video. The canvas painting is beautiful.

[@nessie1015]

Thank you, Helen, for sharing your days with us. I enjoyed your activities. Your voice and demeanor are so calming & your artistry is appreciated. Keep being yourself & be kind to yourself. Enjoy your week❤️

[@karenc.8622]

HEYYY HELENNNN!!!! Love your oil painting! 🤩 And love YOU even more. You are so gifted!!! Seriously you are! Hope you have a great week. Much love and many blessings! Hugs! 🥰💖🥰

[@CarmenDLugo]

You’re amazing Helen. The painting is really coming along nicely. You are very talented young lady!

[@planandtravelwithdumont9967]

That's was awesome to have seen a sneak peek for your week tasks. Don't worry about missing friday. I am from Brazil and love your content.

[@chungmoon47]

I love these types of videos you do!

Love this especially the planner she was working on and the process of packaging orders!

And I lol'd at the "If you need me to punch someone." 😂😂😂 The look on his little emoti face!! I really enjoy these types of videos! I mean, I enjoy ALL your videos, but these vlog's are cool because it's always interesting to see a tiny glimpse into people's lives-not in a nosy way though bwahahaha!! You know what I mean 🤪 I hope your week is a good one! 💕

[@angeloestrella6806]

[@MinaMalfoy]

🍃🌷🍃You’re videos bring me so much happiness Helen🤗🍃🌷🍃

[@charlenejo2490]

That painting is gorgeous!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Charlene!!

[@anidemjess5875]

Loved this . Don’t have anything interesting? I found this whole video interesting , don’t know how you manage such a busy life.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Ahh thank you so much

[@elizabethmartinez7828]

Loved this video, Helen! Please rest. You do too much. 😘💙

[@tamarahoward1285]

I love your work! Do you have baby Yoda? Lol I know I’m late to the party but my kids and I are obsessed 🤩

[@woosess]

Hello! Love your vlogs🥰

[@cloud1179]

Ahh your channel is so lovely and the vid was so relaxing😌💖New subbie

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much!!

[@morningrain2265]

So would like a shirt or sweatshirt with that cute munchkin.

[@kenzie_845]

almost 100k 💖

[@florg3346]

Helen, we need that mug! I was trying to purchase the coffee pink clip art but it’s sold out. Can you please restock it? You’re the best, thank you for all you do for us.

[@kristagaulin4482]

I hope you’re doing okay. What you saw can be hard to process ( I mean no insults in that). I hope you talk with someone about it. We had a horrible car accident happen in the middle of the night in front of our home. My husband and I where first there helping the victims. A firefighter said it was one of the worst accidents they had seen., if that gives any insight to how bad it was.

[@thegodfather6138]

Love your videos 😍 Love from INDIA 💗💯

[@Tula1987]

Love your videos but may I ask? How many hours of sleep do you get a night? I am pretty good at time management but I could not fit all you do in one day…

[@Hana-cr7hw]

Loading 100k 🤩👍

[@911tmc5]

I am so sorry you had to witness that this week, as a family of First responders, I know that is not easy. Side note, what is that banana bread recipe it looked amazing!

[@jsgumataotao]

I’ve gone as far as writing my entire script to make sure I don’t forget anything, thank goodness for virtual meetings (no camera)

[@jsgumataotao]

I pray for the child’s mom

[@njmamaplansmichelle3024]

I love my Clena. But in the hobo it needs to dry. Do you ever smear it?

[@JoleeSO]

😊

[@janeo14]

Would you do a hobonichi flip through ?

[@saleehalameer1613]

greaaattt

[@CoutureByKrystal]

What notebook is that in the middle of your thumb now I didn’t see it in your video. It looks like A bullet journal.

[@santossoto8902]

I have/read The Secret Life of Color! I think you’ll enjoy it. 🌝

[@alishbafaisal5898]

Can you please tell recipe for iced chai latte?

[@namunoo]

Pls do more doodle videos!? Can u do a video tutorial on teaching us hw u doodle everything?

[@samantha.becker]

Randomly, rewatching your vlogs and I was just wondering...did you finish your oil painting??? If so..... Can we see it 🙏🥺 Please?!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

I did actually! You can see it in my office tour: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXmmm6h8eJd5ec0&ab_channel=TheCoffeeMonsterzCO

[@cyndyecharrell2654]

I need your t- shirt! How can I get it?

[@shelbseroo]

Your thoughts on the Zebra click art pens? 😍

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Honestly, not my favourite hahaha. I do buy them though because they make amazing accent colours!!! Just not great for a whole wall of text.

[@senthilnadhan2941]

Mam please do a home tour and studio tour video

[@eat5star_donothing.]

I am first yay
