Show & Tell | Midori Traveler's Notebook

[@karawalther]

I love seeing different notebooks/planners...thanks for sharing!

[@doracrowl3488]

Hey Jen, I just wanted to share these types of notebooks can be made easily if you have crafting skills. I made my husband a custom size for his check book, graph paper, calendar and file folders for holding receipts and business cards. I learned how from several KZbinrs.My his husband calls it his Man Purse and keeps all his contractors business papers in this handy cover. These style has so much potential for whatever a person needs.

Yay, so excited for this video. I've been obsessed with travellers notebooks for a few months now! I've even started making and selling my own fauxdoris! 😊 I use one regular size fauxdori as my planner (monthly & weekly calendars, lists and a book for my Etsy shop), and then I have another that holds my Listers Gotta List challenge book and my art journal/scrapbook. Then I have a Field Notes size that is my "dear diary" style journal. 😊

After reading your blog post, I couldn't wait for this video!

[@Vale08131]

Awesome Jen, thanks for this much awaited video!

[@WithWonder]

aDamselsOdyssey Hope you enjoyed it :)

[@jamesmars1936]

I just loved your video. I have one of those and I love it. Keep up the good work can't wait to see your future videos.

[@sscrafter1]

I just got hooked a couple of months ago and have been drinking in every video I can find. Yours is one of the best with the so much useful information. I purchased my TN on Amazon and created my own inserts. This way I can make them thinner and fit more into my TN. I currently have 5 inserts and no spillage. Love how versatile these are. TFS

Hi Jen, i work in leather industry, and the "white" on the leather is the "fat" that we put on the leather to nourish it. With the cold of the shipment , this "fat" get from liquidy to "solid" as for coconut oil for exemple! You can improve thé aspect by cleaning with a polish to "warm" it :-)

[@Megaboo0620]

I just ordered one from Buteo Bunker on Etsy! It shipped today and I cannot wait to get it and start setting it up! Loved this video!

[@IAmClassyAndFabulous]

Thank you so much for sharing. I love the MTN. I also love how you use it. I think I will soon be adding this to my collection.

[@rDinx]

Very thorough video Jennifer. You always provide excellent review videos, thank you for taking the time to share.

[@AAB-intheATL]

I'm a teacher who finally found "planner peace" with my regular and passport Midoris. The 1st and 2nd grade girls in my class just love looking at the washi tape and stickers in my Midori. :) Loved your post! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@HelenaOops]

And Voilà! I love when you use french words,and I love the way you show the Notebook,enjoyed watching the video. I think the Notebok is really fabulous, love the design , the cover, and the way we can personalize the inside papers and notes.But a little for expensive for my pures,but ok, for a gift , a present, it s agood way to celebrate special events(birthdays for example..) Like your Notebook and the way you organized the inside notes, and papers. Thank you for the review&video. Wish you a fab sunday!

[@Trying37]

Thank you, I was curious about them and as usual you were thorough with your presentation. That is why you r a favorite👏🏽😄💕👌🏽💐🎉

[@chilloften]

Great review, these are my favorite videos lately...planners, journals.

[@bitsoflovely]

Oh, I like these notebooks! Never seen them before! Thanks for sharing! :)

[@tiffanywilliams3697]

Ok Jen you talked me into it!!! I have to get one!!! Thanks so much for this video! Love your channel!

[@cathyspeerly4997]

Thank you for sharing. I love my Midori.

[@oshmommy]

Great work Jen, thank you!

[@barbm2375]

CakePaperie on Etsy has gorgeous fabric fauxdori covers. They are a great vegan option and the prints she offers are so fun and unique! TFS...great information as always :)

[@karensallows9348]

Great video Jen, thanks for all the info.

[@dianechandler]

Well - you made my day today!!! I've been loving the MTN for a while now and was so looking forward to your review on this. I have the standard size Midori and use it as a wallet (zip pocket, and card slots) and it holds two additional notebooks too. One I use for important 'keep it' type info like birthdays or anything that I want to have quick access to that is a 'keeper'. The other notebook I use as a bullet journal. It took me a while to settle on this set-up but it works well for me and I love it!! Thanks so very much for your video Jen!

[@soulcomfort1]

That's why I made my own cover (bought the Midori rubber bands) that fits the Field Notes size. I LOVE it!! And I have made my own inserts, too. But to have one of Chic Sparrows--OMG! That is a dream. :)

[@susanknuppe8099]

Thank you for the fun and thorough reviews!

[@TheGoldProject]

I just purchased my first traveler's notebook, the wide FoxyDori and I am slowly purchasing inserts. You are right, it is definitely not cheap. But, I am so excited about purchasing all of the accessories. :) Great video.

[@gerganaborikova8519]

Very informative video Jen...thanks 👍

[@dorasa5417]

Just on time! I just bought the 2 of them.back in Japan!! Thnks for the video!

[@calliejackson2972]

I absolutely LOVE your videos and when I saw that you were talking about the Midori...I think I died. Can't wait to watch!

[@BlushnBlue]

I love my Passport so much. Since getting my Midori, I mainly use my EC for storing future events paperwork. I have the calendar, weekly calendar and blank inserts in my Midori. I am really excited to see the new ***** planners next month. I will most likely get one for sure. Thank you for your review.

[@WithWonder]

BlushnBlue TFS how you use your MTN!

[@Pinchedpennies]

I take the moleskine to office depot and they will cut them to whatever size I want. It was about a dollar in total to get a bunch cut. You can print inserts from Ray Blakes website. I have the chic sparrow and love them. The beauty of the Midori is that you can make it whatever you want and tailor it to your needs.

[@Karina-rz7wm]

Thanks for the detailed review and blog post. You did a great job on the review. Your hard work and detailed nature is appreciated!

[@WithWonder]

Karina Grubman Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@lwright622]

Thank you for sharing. I have actually been trying to watch some youtube's on the Midori travelers notebook. I think I'd like to use it more as a gratitude journal, and maybe some art.

[@southerncouponista]

I always like seeing your stationery reviews!

[@workofheartdesigns]

I have a beautiful embossed leather cover in an A5 size from bypaperflower on etsy to hold my homemade inserts. It is a beautiful nude/tan color and I've used it exclusively for my work and home planner in addition to all my lists. I keep 6 booklets in mine and the cover is wide enough to protect the page edges. Thank you so much for sharing, I've been looking forward to this video since you first mentioned it was coming.

[@JaneMichelleTv]

Love this video Jen, thank you! And thank you for breaking down pricing! I'm in serious need of a planner as I work & schedule clients, intern & volunteer, & have been back in school attempting med the last year-SO Busy! But I'm also a big journaler, always list-making, very creative (love photography, film, acting, art, certified doodler :) etc & haven't been able to find a system that works or a carry all (as I'm gone extremely long hours-I'm so happy to see Amazon deliver laundry soap, pet food and vitamin water every few weeks so inexpensively!). ANYHOW this is EXACTLY what I need!!😃💕 schedule clients, exams, study groups, write notes for home, school, family dates, brain dump things I want to remember but my brain needs to focus on school, and be creative or journal in my free moments....like meditation & an outlet. It's perfect! The cost is relatively significant I'm sure with all the inserts, monthly calendars etc....will def enter the contest. But I LOVE supporting independent and/or locale artisans with such skill and craftsmanship. I've held out on buying a planner forever because they don't meet what would be most effective and efficient for me. And the iPhone just doesn't work-need to see things planned out and really creatively brain dump or journal. And I've been unorganized without finding the right way to keep Everything in one place like this, which ultimately costs precious time. I'm so in love with this! I'm really dying over the Foxi small wanderlust and Foxi regular blue-Gorgeous! This would be life changing. Will enter and keep looking into other brands. Thank you! If you get a chance to will you consider a vid on sites for faux inserts for various sizes? Passport, regular & extra wide...if the mood strikes and you get time. THANKYOU! I LOvE you Jen!

[@cozyambience5653]

You can also buy something called a fauxdori. I have one made out of vinyl, they also sell them made from fabric. If you go on etsy and type in fauxdori it'll bring them up.

[@LifeStyleBri]

Loved the double view! Great review thanx

[@scrapgirl14671]

Sorry for the second comment, also easy to make your own inserts for the Midori, and you can buy many others from Etsy sellers, etc. . . This way you can get the paper, covers, etc. . . You want and use and not be locked into something you might not love.

[@WithWonder]

Maureen Hayes I mention shopping Etsy for inserts on my blog post. There are so many great options there!

[@scherolynlify]

You can also purchase the Cahier and gut them down if you're crafty. Office Max will do it for .36 or so.

[@clifflexmiddleton]

So helpful and informative. Thank you.

[@kmarie406]

Please do a fitbit review!!

[@lisalyn70]

Ive been using the MTN now for 6 months as my bullet journal! It is perfect and I love it. There is a wonderful mad on KZbin that has free printable inserts and can show you haw to take a Moleskin and cut it to fit your MTN or your passport size. Look up Ray Blake and he is so hopefully! If you print out your own inserts, you can save a lot of money! Hope you enjoy!

[@TessieDobey]

This is a perfect size traveler's notebook.

[@Kraftykathy29]

I just love my personal size notebook I am just trying to figure out what to use it for as I already have my EC notebook for app but I do use it for lists et good I dea on the gratitude one. Made me think to try it again

[@amigurumigirl]

Thank you for all your research and sharing! So helpful. :)

[@beautyplayground]

Thank you for the review! I'm thinking of getting a good and nice notebook for my holidays. We always to so much - i.e. sightseeing - that I always forget it :D

[@Estella0707]

Jen, you do so many giveaways... :) You are so generous❤️

[@gatorgator4]

I love yellowpaperhouse (etsy) inserts. So many options.

[@Sarah-ij3hg]

Really interesting review Jen! I'm a Filofax girl at heart but my head is being turned by your great detailed review :-)

[@labellaliz01]

Hi Jen Great video, I have been a midori travelers notebook user since 2013 another great shop to purchase from is Gouletpens.com their prices are awesome. I always purchase from them because I find their prices to be the best when shopping for inserts and they always send a tootsie pop with your order. 😀 happy Journaling!

[@tokidoki8D]

you prefer the midori brand over the faux doris since you're not keeping them?

[@chloea7474]

Hi Jen! Just wanted to let you know that the link to your coordinating blog post appears to be broken. Thanks for sharing, loved the video!

[@WithWonder]

Chloe Adara I fixed it. Thanks for the head's up!

[@jqi8872]

Lovely video, as usual :)

[@706smile]

Love the detail in you review as always with all your reviews, thank you. Amazon Prime is the devil isn't it? Lol. I found the passport for $33 at Prime. the inserts are expensive! I still purchased, haha! Thanks again!

[@jonis6099]

Holy cow on the prices! I think I'll stick with my spiral notebooks from Walmart. :)

[@scrapgirl14671]

Jen, Try Jetpens.com for the Midori and accessories, they are cheaper on many of the things than Amazon and shipping is free over $25. Just a tip! Thanks for the video, I enjoyed the analysis.

[@WithWonder]

Maureen Hayes Thanks for the tip! From first glance, the covers are more expensive from Jetpens than Amazon and the inserts average out to be around the same, but it's still a great resource!

[@jconthscene]

Good stuff. Thx!

[@malzag]

Great Video! I was wondering though, do I have to follow you on Pinterest, Instagram and everything in order to take part in the giveaways you organize? Or is submitting only my email enough?

[@Willaren]

Scout Books (sold on Amazon) are the correct size for the passport.

[@Willaren]

Buteo Bunker on Etsy makes beautiful traveler's notebooks for a great price. His quality and customer service are excellent.

[@PacificOcean17]

Midori is also offering a limited edition blue leather cover as part of their Pan Am Collection.

[@greenorangeviolet]

where are those small magnetic clips from? Anyone?

[@ShuBor]

greenorangeviolet i think they're called oil clips

[@ShuBor]

Shu Bor *oli

[@scherolynlify]

You can get them from various Etsy shop sellers and I think The Container Store as well.

[@roismireag]

I found little notebooks that fit in my passport sized midori at the dollar store.

[@ashleypuskarz8846]

You should try Buteo Bunker on Etsy. The owner makes amazing notebooks for a great price. ❤️❤️

[@HautePinkFluff]

I use and love the Wide Foxyfix for the #listersgottalist challenges and it holds four of my May Designs books beautifully.

[@jenfirelight]

Can you please bring back you open sub box opening. Like the pop sugger

[@WithWonder]

jenfirelight I actually might do this, because I'm down to just the Popsugar as my only monthly subscription. Since it's just one box, and there have been many requests, it makes sense to do a video again.

[@533134]

Jennifer Ross What made you stop with your other monthly subscriptions.

[@angiep2265]

Scout Books fit in the passport sized Midori.

[@KaitlinBoyle]

You should check out the Jonelifish hashtag on Instagram and even search them on here. Those will blow your mind! True works of art :)

[@shoppingfiesta]

I have a "fauxdori" from Etsy, good quality but less expensive than these you have, from "Down2Oearth" store, and if you like cute charms check out "PrettySang" also on Etsy!

[@shoppingfiesta]

Forgot to say, the inserts are included.

[@arpimay]

I am @bagfullofbooks on IG and I actually use the hobonichi as my journal. I blog about books- I like to recreate book cover art and also botanical/ nature illustrations in my journal.

[@marjorieas13]

I'm not sure when you posted this video but I would like to chance to win your beautiful blue Madori look-alike. I am a caretaker and I need an outlet and I've decided to start sketching and I would like to be able to sketch anywhere and everywhere I go. Thank you for your video and this opportunity to win.

[@iluvpinkandgold]

seriously? ... I shouldn't have to assemble my own notebook smh

[@1115christel]

Jen is there a way to turn off suggested videos because I watch you. One of your viewers is a vlogger and she has the biggest potty mouth with a small baby. You are everything sweet and friendly and she shouldn't be associated with you. She really likes the F and S word.
