I do really enjoy your KZbin videos so please don’t stop! Also I show up for your planning and not your nails so please don’t worry about it! ❤️

[@plan2create]

Thank you, Mandy!! :) I know I’m *not* a nail channel, lol, but I also don’t want them to distract from my content, haha. Appreciate your kindness. xx

[@Uncomplicated_plans]

I love your content, I found you recently and whether it’s on KZbin or Instagram I’m watching it! Honestly, for the nails, most people watch KZbin on their phones and would never in 1 million years do that detail. So maybe some haters out there but honestly, if you put all that work with that video, I would just to publish it!! I love the product you share please don’t feel like you’re just repeating the same thing because your contact is fabulous!

[@plan2create]

Thank you so much, Mandy! I agree - people would have to really be looking for those nails but for some reason when I was editing on my laptop I kind of grossed myself out, lol! :). Thank you for all your kind words and encouragement! xx

[@okyplans]

Yes!!!! I love your video, how you reflect on what worked and what didn't. I'm deciding on what is working for me as far as planning, and this video has definitely helped me out :)

[@plan2create]

Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful - appreciate you letting me know!

[@abbylynn8872]

As a gardener.. I'd love see your nails in all their glory. As someone tht has never worn nail polish more than 10 hours i don't get the need for perfection to look at. Im here for your content.. lol... just make a disclaimer you worked in the garden.or around the house. People have real lives they live. ❤❤❤

[@plan2create]

Oh thank you! My latest video just went up and surprise surprise I have a funky nail! I think I’m hard on them. 😆

[@thelifefacilitator]

I love this video and love how you set it up with what worked/improvements. No such thing as failure, just information! KZbin didn’t go as planned but, hey, you gained some information in the process! Definitely going to incorporate some of your ideas in my work/content planner setup!

[@plan2create]

Thanks, Rachel! I've been loving your approach to photo printing/placing!!

[@FaithfulFarm]

I just want to encourage you to keeping making these KZbin videos if possible. I always look forward to them! I also don't do social media so this is the only way to learn from you 😊.

[@plan2create]

Aww, thank you Lori! I that’s really kind of you to take the time to let me know. Sometimes I wonder if anyone’s out there, lol!

[@candaceambermarie]

love these printables thanks for sharing how you use them

[@plan2create]

Hope that gave you some ideas on how to use yours! :)

[@wonderwonder30]

First, love your videos. Second, your nails are just beautiful, don’t worry about so much. We are here for you and your content because we love what you’ve been doing. Also, you’re killing it over on instagram, the reels are so cute!

[@plan2create]

Aww, thank you so much!! ☺️ I’ve been having a lot of fun with the reels. The music takes it up a notch, I think! ☺️

[@authorchristinabutrum]

I love your content and seeing everything you have(even if you feel it's repetitive!) ❤ And when it comes to your nails, girl...do what's best for you! 😊

[@plan2create]

Thank you, Christina! I know no one is coming here for my nails, lol, but I just don’t want them to be like 🤢. 🤣🤣

[@ParisLeShea]

I just found your shop and I am in love lol... order incoming lol

[@plan2create]

Aww, thank you Paris! Thanks for watching, for engaging and for your purchase! I appreciate the support!

[@kristinborja]

Just found your channel and I'm loving it!

[@plan2create]

Yay! Thank you so much for saying hello! ☺️

[@prettyproductive]

The nail struggle is real for sure! Love your planner and enjoyed the flip through!

[@plan2create]

Thanks, Deanna! If I recall, your nails are beautiful. ☺️ Thanks for watching… glad you enjoyed. 😘💕

[@prettyproductive]

@@plan2create only for my videos and work, other than that I have the worst nails.

[@mariecorrigan228]

Love your content and your style. I watch and rewatch your videos. You really inspire the way I plan. You’ve got me back into stamping - so excited to see any new videos - even if you think you are saying the same things 😂

[@plan2create]

Aww, thank you Marie! I appreciate you taking the time to comment and I’m happy to hear I’ve inspired you with stamping! Yay!!

[@EatPrayPlan]

Another awesome video filled with so many great tips, but the one that stopped me in my tracks is the clear sticker paper and stamping! Wow!! Thank you for all the time you put in to making these videos. I agree with everyone else, we are here for your wonderful personality and tips. Thanks Julie 🤍

[@plan2create]

Aww, thank you friend! I can’t wait to see where this combo of black ink and clear sticker paper takes you!!

[@debbiepettit9845]

☺️ Seche Vite is great to help your nails recover. It’s just a clear top coat. I’ve been doing my own nails with CND Shellac You have to use the UV light to set the polish but the CND brand does not damage your nails! You do not need a drill to remove polish. Anyway…. Passing that along. Loved your video!

[@plan2create]

Ooo! Thanks for the tips, Debbie! I bought a Christian Dior clear coat based on a YTers recommendation, but I'll keep this in mind too! :)

[@lethbridgepaper]

I can so relate to the nails issue! I've just removed my gel nails and what's left is possibly the worst I've ever seen them! I don't notice them in other people's videos generally, so that's what I've been reminding myself!

[@plan2create]

Thank you!! I agree - I don't really care about other people's nails.. just felt a little uneasy about mine , haha!

[@lethbridgepaper]

@@plan2create I know what you mean! When it’s the only bit of you visible on camera it’s hard not to focus on it.

[@traceybeaumont8535]

Love your videos with or without pretty nails. My nails are pretty weak so I keep gel polish for toes only. My friend bought me a nail oil which I must get back into using each night again. I love hearing what works and what doesn’t. Your videos never feel repetitive as there are always tips/ideas that resonate at different times. Love those stickers and clear sticker paper

[@plan2create]

Thank you, Tracey!! I’ve been using oil, too! One YT I watched said to apply a small drop every time you wash your hands. Im not religious about it, but trying to up my game!!

[@AprilGriffin]

First, I have to say I just started watching you and I’ve been inspired so much. Second, I have the same exact issue with my nails/gel/etc. I understand! ❤

[@AprilGriffin]

Also, I’m a vintage reseller with a full time job. I’ve struggled with time management and prep trying to take product photos, post to IG and Etsy, fulfill orders, promo, and work. Have you filmed any videos you could direct me to about how you manage all your content, etc or if not, I’m offering it up as a suggestion for a future video. ❤

[@plan2create]

I am a work in progress with juggling all the things so I don’t have a video up… don’t feel like an expert AT ALL, haha. Just doing my best and honoring myself when I feel like taking steps back. 😆

[@evaalwora1533]

Nooo!!! I love your videos! Thanks for being honest about your nails, I’m in exactly the same place. Like so many others, I am a huge fan of your work and you as a person. No-one’s judging you or your nails. ❤❤

[@plan2create]

Thank you, Eva!! You’re the sweetest. Now that I’m filing my nails down and taking a little care of them - they aren’t breaking so that’s a win! :) I hope to keep sharing more videos… just honest that I hit a major wall this month. :)

[@froufou100]

I love seeing hwo your mind works at planning but am a bit lost lol. Do you have a video where you explain high level and show us slowly the difference between mnthlies, weeklies, daylies. It jumps a lot so I find it difficult to visiualise everything in the right order.

[@plan2create]

who me? jump around randomly? haha. I don't think I have a video using this HL system where I break down each section exactly how I use it, but I think if you watch a monthly plan with me or weekly it might help explain. I'm using the Hobonichi Cousin now, otherwise I'd try to explain this HL system better. Maybe the full HL setup video addresses it better than these monthly flip throughs...
