Real Time Plan With Me: Birthday Bash Sale Week | Hobonichi Cousin

[@michelleduncan3911]

I don’t think your body would know what to do with more than 3 hours of sleep ☺️. Wishing your dad a speedy recovery. The new kit looks so cute! Big hugs from Florida!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much lovely Michelle!!

[@andreasilver24601]

I swear these Sunday videos with my morning coffee are the best ways to start my day!! Now that the Birthday sale is good to go, you need to take a few days (or at least one) to decompress. I hope Papa tater heals quickly. I've had a scratched cornea and it is no fun. However, eyes heal surface scratches really well, so he should be right as rain in no time.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

You made MY day Andrea, thank you so much!!! I hope you are doing better now!

[@andreasilver24601]

@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo Oh yeah :) This was ages ago. I'm glad I could make you smile. You remind me of Tohru Honda so much with how you make everyone smile so it feels good to do the same for you.

[@jessicajane8510]

Love your videos, only discovered you a month or so ago and have fallen absolutely in love!! I love watching your videos due to them being able to provide a calm and mind free environment and allow me to discover new ideas for what I can do within my own planner and to be able to have an entirely new shop I can purchase stickers from I'm excited for, planning on ordering some in September for starting university!!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you sooo so much Jessica! This means the world to me. Good luck with school!

[@cherylwhybrew1224]

I would love to see a sheet of different length arrows. I don’t like the way my hand drawn arrows turn out. Cute kit! Will have to one for my birthday. Hope your Dad is feeling better!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much Cheryl! Definitely will be doing that! Maybe separate sheets of different lengths?

[@myfutureisgreen]

I wish your dad the swiftest recovery! And I hope that you get enough rest soon! I'm so happy with how the birthday sale went for me. Got everything I wanted! 😍 I wish there weren't so many technical difficulties for others, and I hope that it didn't bring you down. You're amazing! 🤗

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Lauren!!!

[@planwithkellye2926]

Yea! The birthday kit!! Planning is very anxiety relieving for me. That’s a main reason I stick with it

[@ZoeyRedbird]

Oh, I'm really sorry about your dad. Eyeball issues are just the absolute worst. I hope he'll heal fast, I've scratched my eye before and it's just unpleasant.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Definitely >.< I hope you are doing okay!

[@limitone9564]

I love how neat your planner looks, I could never do that... my worry is... about your body and mind and soul... being too too organize or "in contol" has its negative side... please try to meditate (with God in mind and being thankful) and relax at least an hour a day. I can feel the organize-chaos in your voice.

[@AugustTien]

I've missed your real time plan alongs 💕Wishing papa tater a speedy recovery!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much August!!!

[@daydreamsinpastels]

Oh man, I’m sorry to hear that your dad scratched his eye. I hope he has a speedy recovery. I honestly have been out of planning for well over a year but your videos really make me want to start again.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so so much Jess! Ahh I hope you find your planning groove again!

[@katherinemoore5934]

Happy belated birthday! Thank you for all you do! I’m sorry about your dad 🙏🏻❤️

[@janeo14]

I sometimes try to watch other planner videos but I easily get bored. Then I head over to your channel ☺️. Everything is just peaceful here. I admire your content, work ethic, life balance ? And art. I am jealous 😏 I tried to maintain the weekly section But work gets in the way and I would easily forgot what I did for the day. Or I don't have the habit of back tracking my day. Seems a hassle for me to remember. I cannot also forecast my day or week Cause clients will just pop up. Anyways I usually watch your vids during breakfast. Just a calm way to start thr work day. But now it's 1sm And I'm trying to calm myself also so I'm I'm re watching your vids 🙂 I have to sleep soon Bec it's another work day tom 🙃

[@starbucksmocha88]

This spread looks so cute! And I'm legit excited that the Cousin kits now have bottom washi, I was hoping for that! 😍 Also those arrows look super useful, a nice addition too! 👍

[@2BRnot2BRipper]

Such a relaxing and satisfying vid to watch! Love the birthday kit! The colours are so cheerful! 😘🥰😍 Love you!!!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much lovely Helennnn 🤗

[@nasmasattar1335]

Hope your dad gets well soon ❤️

[@mybookishdelights4767]

So sorry about your Dad's eye! I had a tiny chunk of my cornea taken out and it was unbelievably painful! Luckily it heals somewhat quickly! Love your spreads as always.

[@muzammilhilal203]

Please can you make how to start a journal and what best notebook for journal and what basics things for journal 🥺💜

[@yesiamsharon]

I hope your dad gets well soon!!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Sharon!!!

[@planasyouwish2064]

Very cute spread. Praying for your dads eye to heal quickly and for you too hang in there

[@Queena90]

Your bday sale should be easy to remember it’s 2 days before mine!

[@kyomikyun]

It's my first time watching the whole video! Yay! :D best day of my life!!

[@jillianroe9461]

def make a full sheet of the arrows!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Getting on it!

[@carriebartkowiak]

You did a lot of pulling stickers/washi back up this time. I learned last year when I was using the Cousin that no matter whose shop stickers I was using (even those claiming to be printed on repositionable paper), it was best to stick the sticker/washi on the back of my hand or the inside of my wrist/arm before putting it down on that TR paper. This took just enough of the "stickiness" off that if I needed to pull the sticker back up and reposition it, I could do it easily without tearing the paper or the sticker. I hope you're able to get some sleep this week!

[@charnaywiener]

Love how bright this kit is! I hope papa Tater heals well and quickly❤❤ Also, how is the sarasa dry on different paper? I've heard a lot of people recommend it and I want to know how it is as a first time user! Anyways, hope the sale is going smoothly😊 Have a good week!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Charnay! I love it so much! Have been using it in the hc and my regular notebook paper--works super well!

[@sherrycohen1824]

I hope your dad recovers fully and quickly. For what it's worth, I once scratched both corneas with poorly fitting hard contact lenses. They healed fairly quickly.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Oh gosh that sounds so painful!!!

[@belindaprescott4753]

Such a cute spread 💕🎀 Years ago while I was cooking grease splattered in my eye and burnt the top layer off…. That was not fun at all. Praying Papa Tater heals quickly.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Holy moly!!! That sounds so painful!

[@belindaprescott4753]

@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo yes it was, and felt like I had sandpaper in my eye for quite a while until it healed.

[@MorganPlans]

This kit is so cute!! I am crossing my fingers that I get mine in time to use it for my birthday week 🤗 I hope you're able to get some rest!!! 💕 And I hope your dad is feeling better!!

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Morgan!! When is your birthday??

[@MorganPlans]

@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo September 6, so it’s coming right up! 🥰

[@marthalentz]

Hope your dad is well by now. Love your videos.. I was trying to find/identify the main black ballpoint pen you're using but I don't think you have it in your list. Is it a Sarasa? That's about all I can see from starting and stopping the video! Thank you so much for your efforts.. you give me added joy in my life.

[@karenc.8622]

Hi Helen! Praying your Dad has a speedy recovery. So sorry to hear about his injury. The Bday sale was amazing. Thank you so much for creating such beautiful products. Hope you’re enjoying your driving lessons and that you were able to get some sleep this weekend. TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU!! Love you lots!! 🥳🤩♥️🥰😘

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you so much Karen! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Hope you have a lovely week ahead!!!

Get well soon, Papa Tater!! ♥️

[@music2lokyan]

What is it with dads and potted plants being their worst enemy 😅 My dad was defeated by a tomato plant and threw out his back , but it took 2 weeks to recover! Fast recovery for Papa Tater, and hope he gets better soon! Love your stickers and your planning is always aesthetic goals ~

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Oh no!!!! I hope he is better now

[@NixiEvans]

I know i always say this in your videos, but i love them so much,, especially your plan with me videos

Hi! Love your stickers! Where do you buy you Hobonichi cousin planner in Canada?

[@moreofkhayla]

Hey Helen, sorry to hear about your dad. I hope he has a speedy recovery! I’m sad a didn’t get this kit during the sale but hopefully it stays in the shops so I can pick it up later! Also- just wondering, would you ever consider making a full sheet of those arrow stickers? 😍 update: I got to the part where you said you’d like to make a full sheet of the arrow stickers haha! looking forward to that! 🙌🏿🤩

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Thank you Khayla!!!!! Hehe it'll definitely stay in the shop and a yes for the arrows too!! I love them~

I want to journal too ❤

How come you didn’t use your golf sticker? ☺️

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

I didn't have one in my collection funnily enough!!!

[@janeo14]

Just want to say. Thank you for your videos

[@kagomegrrl21]

question do you get a manufacturer to print your stickers. and do you have any recommendations for manufacturers for sticker making

[@starbucksmocha88]

Ok this is random but can anyone tell me what the expression on the emoti head Helen uses at 16:55 means? (lol I'm not fully fluent in emoji expressions 😅)

[@Jen39x]

I think most people would understand if you put a message on shop and social media that family emergency and you are running behind. That’s the advantage and risk of family business. No back up staff but customers are also more understanding

[@bobasaurirl7700]

I had the bundle in my cart and went to click to finalize purchase and boom instantly out of stock. My heart brokeeeeeeeee.

[@roseelise]

I hope you got through this week alright Helen!

How long do you stay at Karen and David's house? Plus, are we the same age?

[@shanyavirasinghe8591]

How awful! Hope your dad heals quickly. Why not postpone the birthday sale. I’m sure everyone will understand!

[@sillysilky-s6w]

What's the point of working so much to the point of depriving your body of sleep every single day? Now that you're done with your bachelor's, I think it would be a great time to shift your focus to your health and well-being as well as taking some time to self-reflect. I adore you, your channel, and your shop, but I do think your lifestyle really perpetuates toxic hustle culture. Your business is very successful, so at some point you have to ask yourself why you're working so hard everyday at the expense of your mind and body at this point when you can afford not to. Delegate all your work once everything is back to normal with your dad and the sale is over, and then take a vacation and don't even think about your business for like 2-3 weeks straight - I think it would be really beneficial for you.

[@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo]

Hello! I appreciate your comment and your care. The reason why I am so much more busier usual is because I am training new employees (to delegate work eventually), getting new large format equipment (to improve efficiency), while looking for warehouses (for the employees and machines). So this is currently a period of really hard work in hopes that it will pay off to the point where I don't have to work excessively in the future! I do not think this is healthy nor do I have any desire to continue at this pace, but this is just my current situation until I get each component of my business better sorted. I may not always talk about this in my videos as this is all long term personal goals! Thank you again for your concern, I truly appreciate that there are people who care about my well-being

[@sillysilky-s6w]

@@TheCoffeeMonsterzCo I'm glad to hear that you're working on eventually cutting down on working so much! Even in the meantime, I hope you're able to prioritize yourself over your work a bit more.You could implement something like one full day off every week where you don't even think about your work. Or you could have a cut-off time every day which you absolutely don't work past no matter how much work is left. Work is never-ending, especially when you have an ever-growing business as successful as yours. I think there are a lot of options and I hope you'll consider some of them because in my opinion, people get used to the pace of life that has been set, and I feel like we find ways to rationalize and push the goalpost further and further away telling ourselves we'll finally prioritize x when we accomplish y when the reality is that it's all ultimately a choice past a certain point. Either way, I hope you achieve your personal goals and are able to streamline your business very soon!
