I’m so obsessed in journaling rn i literally can’t stop I’ve done 8 pages alone today

[@millia_honey]

i don't know how to start, any advice?

[@im5247]

@@millia_honeyI had an extra journal laying around from school shopping and started putting pictures on the cover from some magazines I had (032c if you were wondering) I had planned just to keep it on the cover but I couldn’t stop. So I started cutting out pictures that intrigued me and writing about it or writing about whatever came in my mind. I also would play with the pictures I would cut out by like staggering the photo on my page and writing around it or I would leave as is. I think the best thing for you to do is collect stuff you like. As well as stuff that makes you wonder and put it on your notebook

[@beafineman]

This is literally the perfect video I’ve been keeping a diary all year but wanted to journal in a more scrapbooky journal like yours. I love your content so much Lainey and your handwriting is perfection

[@laineyallatt]

omg that is so sweet thank you so much ❤❤❤ and it’s honestly so perfect having everything in one place i love it 🥰🫶🏻

[@CraftyCammy23]

This video really helped me.. I have been starting my first journal journey. It seemed very overwhelming at first because it felt like I had to do the same creativity as everyone else. I thought it was just being creative and making a picture, which it is, but it is much more than that. I have been overthinking what I should make and how to rearrange pieces because of being ocd. I guess that's what you call it. I like putting things together and being creative. I like looking through memories from back then. This video really helped me to understand that journalism is about you and ur life, ur different phases, and new transitions. It also helps with my mental health. The changes you have made went through. Just who you are. Thats what makes it's fun to put a journal together. Thank you so much for this video!!

[@Kaylas_journals]

I am definitely not new to journaling but I’m loving this video so far! I don’t mind lined journals even with my art journaling, since my style mostly covers the page up with scrapbook paper.

[@laineyallatt]

that’s true! my pages are covered up a lot if the time too! xx

[@MiasGoingViral]

this is super inspiring for me! I have been wanting to start a journal like yours for forever!! also you are really pretty!

[@laineyallatt]

yay i’m so happy i’ve inspired you to start!!! 🫶🏻and thank you so much ☺️🫶🏻

[@ncshomevids]

I love the idea of writing letters to myself. I should do that more often. Haven't done one in decades. Brilliant job with your journals! Can't wait to start. I journal as it is. Makes sense to jazz it up!

[@Gforce2395]

I’ve had a diary off and on over the years and I’m really realizing I want to document more to hold on to the memories. It’s scary realizing I have forgotten so much from highschool now. Even though it’s almost July I got a new planner with blank space in the back and decided to start trip and monthly recaps or whatever else I want to start small, as well as use the planner in the front for my to do lists etc. I’m about to turn 25 and think this would be a great thing to start now. Wishing I had something like this from when I was 16, but it’s never too late! I love your style and will be using this in my planner. Thanks for the inspo!

[@laineyallatt]

exactly as you said, it’s never too late!!!!! so happy you took away something from this video ❤️

[@HolographicCoaching]

What a sweet video! You are so full of life and light, and your journals reflect it! I have been journaling since I was 8 years old and have 75 volumes!!! Thank you for added inspiration!!! It’s 10am and I have already written and collaged 7 pages of a notebook just a bit larger than a regular A4 format :))

[@katyk627]

Thank you for sharing your journals! I did some scrap/junk journaling as a kid and have recently gotten so so so inspired to do it again, I've just started my new journal this week and I'm having so much fun with it already!

Your journaling style is so similar to my own so this was so fun to watch for inspo! Thanks for sharing!

love love love this!! i’ve always been a writer so kept journals for a long time but recently fell off that bandwagon 😭 this made me feel so inspired to pick it back up again!

Journal 4 blew me away. Cannot wait to make a heart page

[@Amyduckie]

Love these pages, they’re giving me so many ideas. Your Taylor album rankings are so interesting! 😊 I want to start doing those sorts of pages. I also start journals whenever I finish one, and I buy shorter books because finishing a book keeps me going. I’m on journal number 29 currently.

[@ladybugradio1988]

The last time I begun to keep a diary, I started using this app called My Diary in 2022 because originally when the pandemic was around I was thinking of what to do so when I gotten a new cellphone from my mom, it was the app that came to my mind to use and she paid for the pro version so I could use it fully then I used it from January through December and started over after I accidentally deleted my original entry collection and then I started writing new entries throughout the year and when 2023 came I continued until I unfortunately lost my beloved grandmother and I will be writing again in October.

[@jade4994]

I suffer from migraines and lined paper triggers them. I'm new to journalling and didn't discover this til after I spent loads of money on a reallyyy pretty lined paper journal 😅 had to buy a replacement with blank pages which was just plain black cover and not as pretty, cos I panicked. So I decorated the cover and then I was hooked. Watching journalling videos for hours 😅 also I hard agree with you on the 'journalling when you want'. When I tried to make myself journal every day, it'd be so depressing because all I would do was complain 😂

[@laineyallatt]

omg nooo that is the most annoying thing ever 😭😭😭 but i think it’s more exciting to buy a boring journal and decorate it how you want 🥰 and yes omg i don’t think i would’ve been journalling this long if i set rules for myself to follow

[@also_perhaps_art]

Love to see you style develop! So dope! ❤

thank you em 🥹🥹

I’ve watched this all the way til the end and let me say it was SO WORTH IT! I subscribed 😌 your video was such genuine comforting chill vibes. I love all the tips and showing through the journals. As a hardcore 2019-2020 bullet journal girlie I’ve been getting more into junk journalling which I love and it allows me to put perfectionism down and enjoy the process. I just basically finished my first ever junk journal so I’m waiting to buy one eeek!! Please if you haven’t already do a journalling supplies video, I’d love to find some cool Pinterest vibe stationery 🥹🤍✨ 19:21

Where can I get hold of a A4 journal the same as your pink one ?? btw i hate lines as well its hard to find a really good one I'm struggling, could you help me?

my best advice is to search for a ln A4 sketchbook instead of a journal because they’ll always be blank pages 🫶🏻

I really want to start writing a journal but idk from where should i start. everytime i decide i should i feel have nothing to write. so is it compulsury to start from beginning of the month or even from mid?

[@jjcreations6994]

When do you print the pictures out to put in it? The day your doing it or along the way? I want to start but have no clue where to start....

[@katelynnicole7840]

I do something similar but I started scrapbooking before I started journaling so I’ve always printed pictures in bulk. If I think it’s important enough to take a picture of and keep for memories, I print it off for my scrapbook and/or my journal.

[@laineyallatt]

definitely along the way! when i do a scrapbook type page about a specific day, i don’t do it on the day i’ll always just do it when i feel inspired 💫

[@IsabellaChung-mo8vi]

what kind of journal is the hot pink one??
