2020 Planner Favourites: B6 Stalogy and my TOP 10 accessories

[@Daksina]

What was your favourite planner and/or accessory this year?

[@loveys_plans]

Uni jetstream pen. TWSBI filled with Noodlers Cayenne ink. Bow tabs. Pencil board.

[@Daksina]

@@loveys_plans Great choices! I must give the noodlers ink a try sometime!!

[@aqua46784]

Favorite accessory this year has been discovering the Lamy AL-Stars in EF nib. Started with Turmaline from JetPens and picked up the matte black during JPs' Black Friday sale. Very justifiable purchases, and use them every chance I get, so far only with the Lamy ink cartridges. Found converters cheap on Amazon, though. Also enjoying my Stalogy books and great stuff I've bought from Lauren Phelps Designs, some of which you've delightfully highlighted in this fun video. :) :)

[@Daksina]

@@aqua46784 Ooh Lamy pens are so nice! I love my safari and also only use the ink cartridges. It always makes me so happy when people find pens they love!! It makes all the difference, I think!

[@aqua46784]

@@Daksina I agree about the Lamy pens! My much more expensive Levenger Verona pen, bought many years ago, is a work of art visually, but it writes nowhere nearly as nicely as the Lamy pens do. I also like my Coletos, being a late bloomer to those compared with other planner aficionados. lol The Lamys win, though.

[@tortagialla]

I would at printables are a constant and super versatile thing for me. There’s this ability to constantly ‘create’ what I need, try lots of designs and pretty things... printing digital files is definitely my thing!

[@Daksina]

I completely get that!!! The possibilities are endless!

[@carolokuda1914]

Thank you, Daksina, another wonderful video. I am a sucker for pens. (A hotel we used to frequent in Tokyo had Uni Jetstream pens in the rooms. Everyday I would throw one in my suitcase, the cleaning crew then puts out another one. I came home with several!)

[@Daksina]

Hahahaha I love that!!!!!🤣

[@creeksidehomeschoolers]

I would say my favorite this year is washi tape and my all time favorite every year is glitter pens. Since I started daily pages back in September I've been having a lot of fun with them. I do love you videos on how to diy acetate and vinyls, but I just don't have all the tools to do as much of that as I would like and time also comes into play as well. I think your 2020 planners have looked so amazing and super inspiring as I am finding my own style. Thanks for sharing!!

[@Daksina]

I bought some glitter pens for my little one recently and they are so fun!! I’ll definitely be using them in my planner at some point🤣 So happy that you are finding your own ways to personalise your planner!❤️

[@tootsfour956]

This was fun Daksina. Thank you!you gave me some ideas. I don't have the ability to foil but love foil everything. I use washi,stickers,pencil boards Stalogy, tabs etc. Happy with what I have. BLESSINGS

[@Daksina]

Love that you love everything you have! That’s the best way to be😊❤️

[@loveys_plans]

Omg love this! I definitely have a pen and washi problem. I got a black Kaweco cause yours looked so lovely. Thanks for sharing 💙

[@Daksina]

Ah yay! We are Kaweco twins!! Lol.

[@vcrouch6041]

Thank you for the bow tab idea. I just made one! I also like the highlighter strips.

[@Daksina]

Yay!! Have fun with it😊

[@BlushnBlue]

Everything is beautiful Daksina!💙

[@Daksina]

Thank you Donna!!💙💙💙

[@thebudgetingplanner]

You have such brilliant ideas! I’ve also kept the leftovers from my foiling, and to laminate them is a fab idea. I think they would also make lovely page markers as well as the cover. I’m saving my lauren phelps design cover as a present to myself at Christmas 😂. I love your sticker pouches you have made too ❤️

[@Daksina]

Aww yay that's the best present lol. Love your idea of a page marker!

Love you right back!😊❤️

[@darkmoore05]

Lovely video. I enjoyed watching you talk about all your favorite planner things. I'm still seriously jealous about your Avery tabs. I checked Amazon again and now I could buy one or two kinds - for "just" 19 Euro per pack! I believe the holo ones are even more expensive. *sigh* I can't justify spending that money on ... tabs. I'm looking forward to watching you plan in the future too. Your videos are just so inspiring.

[@Daksina]

Oh no, that's so pricey! They are about £4 per pack on amazon uk. Would it be cheaper to buy from there?

[@darkmoore05]

@@Daksina I think it's got something to do with where the warehouses are. The ones who actually deliver to Germany are either very expensive to begin with or - and I've found just two or so this applies to as well - the item itself is about 4 Euro (which matches up with your price) but the shipping costs are an additional 10 to 12 Euro, making the tabs ridiculously expensive again. There seems to be no good solution to this, I fear. And a friend who lives in the UK, who might have sent some to me says she doesn't dare send anything right now (including my Muji photo albums) because getting stuff delivered to Germany is hit and miss. Some carriers even refuse to deliver to Germany. Or packets get lost. I have this issue with a few UK based etsy shops. I feel bad for them, when I have to tell them my order didn't arrive. Brexit, Christmas, Covid or combination of all three ... it's making things really complicated.

[@Daksina]

@@darkmoore05 Ah ok, that’s sad. Plus right now Royal Mail have said they aren’t delivering to any European countries anyway due to all the border closures😔

[@well.loved.notebook]

I loved using my Stalogy for the first half of the year. I think my favorite accessories are a tie between my fountain pens, washi and my stencils. I still use those even though I’m not in B6 anymore. 😊💕

[@Daksina]

Supplies that can be used across planners really are the best investment! I've never used stencils myself, but I love seeing others use them!

[@Cupcake6907]

Love it all! You give us so many good ideas and inspiration! Thank you!

[@Daksina]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Bettystroup]

I have try your way of foiling. I have made so many mistakes. But I am going to try again and again. till I get it right. Thank You for your expertise.

[@Daksina]

Oh I’m sorry to hear you’ve been having trouble! I hope you can get the hang of it soon!!

[@kathyceresi9600]

my favorites this year have been my Chic Sparrow covers (A5 Pemberly Honey that I was gifted last christmas and absolutely adore, I have used it every day this year to keep track of my husbands work record and I recently purchased new inserts for it so that I can use it even more during 2021 - a Pemberly Daisy B6 that I use with my Stalogy- and my husband just purchased a Narrow Pemberly Oak for my anniversary present and I am loving that one so much!!) ; Lauren Phelps Designs clear covers and washi bundles , what can I say about LPD . .. I absolutely love the quality of her washi. I have her covers on my B6 Stalogy and A5 inserts in my Honey, they are amazing, but I absolutely adore the washi-sticky note-vinyl sticker bundles. so much so that when she recently had her sale I purchased multiple of her washi bundles so that i wouldn't run out before next years sale lol. I use the tab tapes so much and love those as well. For pens, my favorites are the Sarasa Vintage dark grey and grey brown, I love those in all of my planners. Along with the Pemberly Oak for my anniversary my husband also got me the Lamy Lx Rose Gold in EF and I love that fountain pen, along with the Twsbi Eco Cement Grey, those are my go to fountain pens. If I had to pick one thing though that has been my top favorite so far this year I would have to say that I am loving this Narrow Pemberly Oak cover. ....and the LPD washi.....this could go on forever lol. If there were one thing that I really really wish were available though, it would be the Lauren Phelps Design covers and pencilboards in the Narrow/standard size. that would be phenomenal and I would break the bank ordering that size if it were available. Anyway, another great video with awesome information. Have a fantastic holiday and looking forward to many more videos in the coming year!!

[@Daksina]

Yes!! The washi/sticky note/vinyl bundles are AMAZING!!! Maybe you could request that size from her. If others have also asked, it's good for her to know more people would like it. i really love that you love all your stuff!!! It sounds like it has been a really fun year of planning and shopping for you. That's great!! I hope you continue to find joy in all your things next year. Have a great Christmas!😊

[@lkessler1]

Great video Daksina. I've discovered the Sarasa Grand pens and Sarasa Airfit Grip pens, and I love them, they write like a dream. Happy Holidays.

[@Daksina]

I keep hearing about them! I will have to check them out at some point. Do they come in fine/.38 nibs, do you know?

[@lkessler1]

@@Daksina for the grands, the vintage edition comes with .05, but the .04 refills are compatible. For the non-vintage colors, those come with .07, but again, you can swap out the cartridge. FYI, the ink in the vintage version comes in the color of the barrel, so I’d order black refills if you don’t like color. The Airfit, I had to order from AliExpress (or cloth and paper sells them). The Airfit is .05, but writes so well, both pens are amazing. I have no idea why the pen shops don’t carry the Airfit grip? I did find them on Amazon US, so you might look on Amazon UK.

[@Daksina]

@@lkessler1 Thanks so much for that info!! I will take a look and see what I can find!

[@karenwyzwmnbrown5853]

I love my pencil board as well...the day after I received it from LPD the decoration lifted...I didn’t realize it was a sticker!

[@Daksina]

Oh no!!! So the holo is completely gone?

[@karenwyzwmnbrown5853]

@@Daksina nope...I glued it back down and now it’s just started to lift on the edges again... I still use it I am very heavy-handed so I need to use a pencil board or my Pages show through the next two or three lol

[@Daksina]

@@karenwyzwmnbrown5853 I am too actually but I love that feeling of bumpy paper so I don't use it as a pencil-board. Glad you were able to rescue it!

[@lora7736]

Just starting in planner world! Its between a b6 or a5. Having a difficult time deciding. Hard to find clear cover for b6. LPD did not have clear one on website. Love Love Love your videos!!!

[@Daksina]

Thanks!! Her shop is on break until the 30th that’s maybe why you can’t find the cover at the moment.

[@susanwright134]

Great idea Daksina! I know a Maldon that's going in for surgery ! lol

[@Daksina]

Hahaha oh really?? Yours?

[@alisonridout]

I think I shall be getting some of those Avery tabs. Ali x

[@Daksina]

I'm sure you will love them!

[@melissasnyder5268]

Hi Daksina....I love your videos...always so helpful. I have a couple of quick questions...do you like the deco foil? It comes in so many fun colors. Also, I am ordering the printer you have for foiling.....do you print and still foil with your laminator?

[@Daksina]

Hi! Yes, I use the deco foil. I have the specific colours I use linked in my amazon store above. I am still using a laminator to foil, yes. Have fun!!

[@TinaThevarge]

Still loving my B6 stalogy as well. Only thing I wish with the moterm cover is that it came without the back pocket and cushioning. I would prefer a thinner and firmer cover that makes lap writing easier. Ty for sharing your favourites 📚. My new favourite thing is printing sassy memes that are inappropriate for fb sharing for whatever reason, recently for me because of people passing on. So instead of sharing the sass on fb I print them, either on sticker paper or regular paper, and stick them in the blank spots in my bujo. Another thing I'm trying is colouring page printable's sized down and tipped in or glued in once coloured. I like vintage girls doing things like sewing or knitting or whatever.

[@Daksina]

Oh really? That’s so interesting because one of the main attractions for me was the back pocket. They have a very nice non-back pocket cover but only do B6 slim size in it, unfortunately. Otherwise that would probably be perfect for you!

[@TinaThevarge]

Daksina I just find I don’t use it. I use the inner cover pockets more. Yes, I seen that one. Seems the same with other cover makers as well. All B6 slim. Kinda frustrating, lol.

[@Daksina]

@@TinaThevarge I can’t believe there are that many people who use B6 slim as I hardly ever see anyone using it lol

[@planninginherpjs]

Such a random thought..... what does your Stalogy weigh now versus an empty/new one. 🤔

[@Daksina]

So I just weighed it and the new one weights 264g and my current one is 920g!!😂😂

[@planninginherpjs]

Wow. That’s incredible and interesting. Maybe even satisfying in an odd way. Thanks for sharing this video and that side trivia.

[@Daksina]

@@planninginherpjs It was fun to find out. Thanks for asking!

[@mizzelle71]

What do you use to design your own sticky notes?

[@Daksina]

Silhouette Studio😊 I have a video showing the step-by-step process!

[@mizzelle71]

@@Daksina Ah! I'd only seen your IG stories about printing ones from Lauren Phelps!

[@ssd1453]

I really enjoyed my hobonichi weeks and of course my b6 stalogy! I can't find the cover from lauren phelp- can you please link it? xoxo

[@Daksina]

The link to her shop is in the description box above, but because her shop is on holiday until the 30th now, you won’t be able to find the cover until she reopens.

[@ssd1453]

Daksina thanks darling! Also have another question for you. I’m planning to use the hobonichi cousin as our family memory keeping. What are your thoughts on how to use the index at the front??

[@Daksina]

@@ssd1453 I’m not really sure to be honest as I’ve never used a Cousin. Maybe take a look at other videos on KZbin for ideas?

[@ssd1453]

@@Daksina Thanks for getting back to me- I thought I would ask since you always have such good ideas. I have not come across any videos that show how to use these front pages for memory keeping. If you end up in a cousin for 2021 please share how you plan to use it. xoxo

[@Daksina]

@@ssd1453 Will do! What about using it as an index so you can find memories quickly?

[@TheMakeupNiche]

Q about the kaweco pen refil: is it possible it's the same one as used for coleto pens?

[@Daksina]

I believe they are too big.

[@genevaallen3942]

Do you have a link for the clear pouches, I can't find them? (the one from MochiThings) Thanks

[@Daksina]

If you mean the Muji ones, I don't believe I have seen them for sale online, sorry!

[@cyndyecharrell2654]

Where can I find those clear pouches?

They are from Muji but I've only see them in stores, not online.
