your commonplace journal is so cute!! I love how you decorate

[@kavettahulse]

I don’t think the beginning pages are ugly. It just looks like your style changed.

[@xoxolorae]

🥺 aww you’re too kind. I def am my own worst critic 🤣 but I also tend to make chaotic spreads when I’m not doing well lol

[@thejournaldiaries]

Always love seeing your pages!! ❤ thank you for sharing. I think about aging alot and my hobbies (I'm 34) and it does sometimes get me down but yes I always come back to "I am not hurting anyone by doing what I enjoy doing!" so whos to judge. I think I will stay forever young by heart :) Xxx❤❤

[@NatashaLeecole]

Not ugly at allll. None of the spreads🖤✨

[@paperstoryjournals]

7:53 Here I am admiring how pretty your pages are and your saying they are ugly. They absolutely aren’t.

[@xoxolorae]

@@paperstoryjournals 🩷 tysm for the kind words! i often don’t like my own designs or spreads because i guess im my own worst enemy lol but its funny because when i see other journal videos with similar looking pages i just think theirs is so cute and unique and mine just looks messy 🥲

I too was low key obsessed with the murakami x LV collaboration. Honestly I’m just obsessed with Murakami and LV is the accessory (to me lol). Some of the pieces are triggering my 20 year old desires 😂

[@xoxolorae]

haha I know I dreamed of some of the OG collection and tried for years to get a piece but it was hard to find them for a reasonable price and in good condition. They're coming out with the cherry blossom re-edition in March and my wallet is scared...

[@mjthegray]

Whooo you got your in - n -out fix!!! 🍔

[@xoxolorae]

@@mjthegray I crave it right now lol

I love that more women are exercising autonomy and choosing to not have kids. My closest friends don’t have children and I love that about them. I love that their lives are flourishing and doing whatever they want. They are also unconventional …. But to me they’re just living their lives awesomely. You are not too old to journal, play video games. You’re too awesome …that’s what 🥰

[@simple.flamingo]

I’m 29.. almost thirty and no kids either - not planning to be a mom. So I get what you’re saying! The weird pressure!

hi Lorae, what do you use for printing pictures?

[@xoxolorae]

I use a laser printer! Canon Imageclass 640. It’s a very big printer but it’s so worth it imo!

@ thank you
