sunny weekend spent biking and reading ☼

[@cheyennebarton]

lolita is a book that is meant to make you deeply uncomfortable, as it was nabokov's intention to write the narrator as an unreliable monster, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier to read ^^; loved this video fran!!!!! summer is starting to kick off here in the pnw too

[@samanthak9592]

I love when you make this type of video, it feels like catching up with a friend 🌞 and your sponsor is perfect this week, I was looking for a print-on-demand platform!! sending you good vibes from the midwest ✨

[@FranMeneses]

thank you Samanthaaa! I hope it's all good over there, I've heard there's been serious flooding in the midwest! Please stay safe!

[@eglekiz]

Couldn’t agree more! I was missing so much this type of vlog ❤

[@biaaraujo472]

stationary shops? cafés? gimme, yes, please

[@BarbaraBoholm]

Fran thank you for taking us along Brooklyn,cafees,qute,cozy stores,you reading in your kitchen,you biking and cleansing at home with sage... More vlogs like this would be a treat!!!!

[@ordinaryowls]

welcome to fountain pen life ❤ if you havent used one before here are a few tips: 1. you don’t need to press down to use the pen, and pressing too hard can damage the nib. all you need is to touch the pen to paper, and ink will flow. 2. flush the pen out with tap water and let it air dry whenever you change inks. 3. you can buy a converter for kaweco sport that will let you refill the pen from bottled ink, so eliminates waste from cartridges and allows you to try many different inks. 4. get some blotting paper if the ink is taking a long time to dry. hope this helps anyone who is new to fountain pen world :)

[@bookoffholicbookwart5945]

"Holding my heart so it doesn't slip away" the most relatable feeling i get whenever I enter a stationery shop🤣❤️

[@peacesoftuesday]

I could watch these all day, thank you for giving us these sweet little peeks into your world

[@BloomsburyVintage]

Yes please Fran! More Brooklyn cafes…stationery shops and your beautiful apartment!! Thank you 🌼

[@NancyLiliG]

Ooh, Printful! Fun sponsorship!! We’ve been using them for 3-4 years to send company swag to clients as gifts, and I could rave about them for hours 🤩 They have multiple facilities all over the world, so your stuff isn’t shipping extra long distances needlessly, which is better for the environment. Love them!

[@mafearistizabal4412]

Ver este video me recordó una peli que hace poco me vi “Perfect Days” … que leas un libro mientras esperas el café, ir en bici por la ciudad, quedarte tirada en el piso pensando pensamientos luego de hacer ejercicio, limpiar tu casa… esas rutinas que parecen hacer la vida más lenta, pero en realidad nos conectan con nuestra existencia en este planeta que somos❤ ufff amo demasiado todo lo que compartes, tú arte es hermoso pero que además nos muestres todo esto cotidiano, no solo tu proceso creativo es lo mejoooor, siento que me pongo al día con una amiga y que aunque no me conozcas, me acompañas también. Gracias Fran que el universo te siga llenando de creatividad para que nos compartas y sigas siendo inspiración, te mando mi mejor energía amorosa en forma de abrazos desde acá donde sea que estés. 🫶🏽💛✨

[@beckie10]

Your self drawing is so cuuuute! Roots and all!😄 Also, thank you for sharing the Mr. Boddington’s store. We don’t really have cute stationery stores where I live and the last ones I bought from online were in the UK and I’ve been looking for some closer to support, so thank you!

[@Mamamaou]

Watching your videos deeply inspires me, Fran! This particular video made me really want to buy new pencils and draw more on paper (and take a break from the iPad). Thank you for the inspiring videos! Hugs from Brazil!

[@MarianaMorales01]

Amo ver tus videos de vlogs, lapsos en tienda de papeleria y cafeterías 😍 Es tan relajante 🍃 Saludos Fran ❤

[@nieszka73]

Lovely to tour with you-Brooklyn is a million miles from here, in every sense! Thrift-ing, yarn shops (do you knit?). Love your flat.

[@caro_es]

Yes, please! More stationery shops, etc. :)

[@VeraGolosovaArt]

Such a lovely video ❤ also it is so cute to hear glimpses of you talking Spanish, because I am learning now and it so cool to understand some parts!

[@frey-j]

I love the biking povs!! its a beautiful transition from space to space

[@brooketheblueberry]

[@meremeth]

Thankyou for this video Fran! It inspired my to ride my bike into work today instead of driving :--) felt nice

[@Lalalovelies]

I love the creativity of covering lolita - it reminds of the tiktok of the guy in public giving the middle finger to the book so people know he's not into it hahaha

[@laurenvonduyke-dadmun9928]

Thanks, Fran! Your videos are always so refreshing! I feel as if I'm there with you🤗(The slacks with the buttons down the outside of the leg are so cute!) It's so much fun to have a peek into your sketchbook! Pat Hamburguesa for me!

[@jbeeee42]

oooh I HIGHLY recommend listening to Jamie Loftus' Lolita podcast while you're reading the book - it realllllllly helped me navigate what I was feeling while reading it and was super fascinating and generally SO well produced.
