Yep, I finally caved… | Hobonichi Cousin 2022

[@Shmyrk]

I’m a dude and I strive just to get shit written down and done, but deep down there’s a piece of me that’s so jealous of y’all’s beautiful planners/journals and mostly, your minds. It’s really incredible how you planner girls (and some guys ofc) essentially make life a piece of art. Life can be sloppy, but you really capture its beauty. I appreciate that you say “this may be redundant but I don’t care”. Yeah it takes time but is scrolling social media any better? Anyways, thank’s for sharing your process. It helps

[@amywoolsey6591]

Nice!

[@elysearchie4888]

Love this comment!!

[@SIMplycoya]

I love your journal. I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets super excited about journaling, does it for a couple months and completely abandons it 😂 I’m really trying this year because it is so much fun. Thanks for the inspo ☺️

[@kaykie]

Finally found someone who got straight to the point! Thank you for sharing your journal. and your realisitc ideas! Also love hearing how not everything is done on the daily and it does take time. Thnaks for keeping it real!

[@twocorgis9758]

Your Hobo really looks great and your handwriting is so neat, consistent and lovely! Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@awkwardandee]

Your “Dear Planner Person” note was so nice! Thank you! I definitely chuckled at the zoomin comment 😂🙏🏽 ❤😊

[@XxHunterlovexX]

I just bought the 2023 Hobonichi cousin and I'm so excited to try this out. Your journal, and handwriting, and overall aesthetic are my goals!

[@chihiro_tt]

Your handwriting was honestly so nice, I’d want to start journalling everyday to get to that consistency. Love your designs and the way you create the spreads

[@randidotplans]

Years of note taking in school definitely whipped my handwriting in to shape like this 😅 thank you so much! 💘

[@lauriemcbride426]

Thank you for sharing, and I love how you are doing what makes you happy. I'm always hard on myself with my planner. My catch-all is an A5 rings, and I plan on getting an A6 just for journaling & having fun with it.

[@MsNikkiCrucio]

Whew chile! This is the best ive seen. The handwriting, monthly spread simply 🤩. This is my 1st video of yours. Im going to subscribe now.

[@daniellecolucci3470]

Can u link where you got this cover from?

[@gamesandjournalythings]

Ohhhh, how I've missed your videos! I love your IG content too. Glad you finally jumped on the Hobo train! I have like 4 planners this year and only 2 have specific purposes (school and home/life tasks). The other two are just creative. It's my outlet and lets me destress from the hard work that goes on throughout the week. And that's ok. Your peace of mind is never a waste.

[@randidotplans]

Thank you 🥰💘 and yes.. I feel like I’m only ever brave enough to tackle the smaller Hobos like the Weeks and A6 Techo….but the Hobo Cousin is AMAZING! And ahhh I love that! I love this shift with planners and journals and letting them serve you in any and every way you need them to.

[@irocktallsocks3126]

Love your style/ setup. And your handwriting is goals!

[@randidotplans]

Thank you! 🥺💘

[@hennyindrahalim7553]

I love your handwriting, it's so neat! And I like how you plan things in Hobonichi, it's inspiring

[@poppyorangeflower]

I'm super envious of the fact that some ppl have the time to do this.

[@ksk881]

This is the first video I have seen of your’s, and I really liked it. Your handwriting is beautiful, and I was interested in how you use the Hobonichi Cousin and the stickers from CoffeMonsterz. I received my first order from Helen, and I was going to use them in my bullet journal, but I decided to get the 1/2 year Cousin Avec to see if I liked it. I’m going to wait until I get that because stickers aren’t cheap! That will give me time, also, to watch more of your videos and some of Helen’s older ones. I am just amazed when I see this kind of talent because I am not artistic, hence my growing supply of stickers and washis . 😁 Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@AlssadaryaM]

This was so fun! Your handwriting is gorgeous and the colour theme is beautiful. I'm starting my first hobochini in the next year so thank you for introducing me to inspiration for how to make it functional and super cute :)

[@planningforwhatstocome]

I think that this maybe my favorite planner spread of yours! 💫 Keep rising to be who you want to be! 💫 #keeprising #risingtobe #aswerise #riser

[@thislittlebylittlelife]

Love this!! Making me want to stay in my Hobonichi Cousin for 2023

[@clairec1560]

Im coming to the exact same conclusion. It’s not about putting the pressure on ourselves, it turns everything into a chore n makes us sad deep down. I’m trying to do what makes me happy now too, just for fun, its so important ❤️

[@samanthatd]

I had the same issue with that pen!! It is such a great pen aside from that which makes me so sad!

[@From1SoultoAnother]

Beautiful spreads! loved watching the flip through! Thank you for sharing💕

[@aaden13]

Nice planner! I think that you can also jot down what you ate for some days, for the bottom of the weekly planner you can write down b (breakfast l (lunch) d (dinner) and s (supper

[@chrisyroche7633]

omg I love your hand writing!!

[@sabine5249]

Such a beautiful style! Love this look!! 💕

[@BethieD]

Love how you use your hobo cousin!

[@xychen0404]

omg! Found you from ur insta. I was so upset that ur flipthru on insta was so quick and I barely catch an eye on ur spreads! Ohhhhh I love your spreads! They are so cute~ Love your handwritting and all the tcmc washis~~

[@veep1397]

Where did you purchase the cover? Love ur videos 🙂

[@deadinside8781]

Hi, where did you buy your hobonichi from? I think I prefer the customization of blank pages or dotted but this looks neater so I might try it next year.

[@floetic095]

I love the cover! Where did you get it?

[@AntonDmitriyev]

Many thanks and many hugs for your note for planner person from a beginner. That was really helpful (and inspirational, of course) And yes, I've read it! ☺️

[@NancyLiliG]

You can buy refills for the Uni ball One instead of buying new pens! Cheaper & less plastic :)

[@randidotplans]

Oooh yes! Definitely will be doing that! 😊

[@HeyPlannerGurlHey]

I love it! Your printing is immaculate !!!

[@charlizesalisbury9913]

Can you link all the pens you use? Or at least write the pen names in the description? I love your spreads and the colours you use so I’d like to use some of the pens as you’ve inspired me to probably be a little more consistent in journaling lol

[@dakotagrey260]

I believe the black pen seen most prominently in her spreads is the Pilot G2 .7 mm

[@fufufuaru]

your handwriting is amazing

[@sylviaponcedeleon629]

i love my hobo cousin for the same reasons it brings me joy

[@deleongirl72]

I just ordered a 2024 Avec and also a Common planner 😮 what pen was the one you used in the beginning of the video……the white one? Thank you. New sub ❤

[@loganlatour6846]

Where is your planner cover from? Do you have a link?

[@kimberleywest5001]

Absolutely love it 😍 You are such an Inspiration 😊. Could you link what pens you use:)

[@Adyn_]

what do you use to print the sticker pictures ?

[@JudiJoseph]

What’s the name of the black pen?

[@AlexandraTejero]

Lovely!!!! I will start my first Hobonichi in January, it will be a Cousin. How can I learn to do lettering like you use in your planner?? I love it!! Thanks!!

[@boreall]

hi! where is the cover from?

[@allyleech]

Love this & thanks for the dear planner person note ❤️

[@randidotplans]

Thank you! 💘 and absolutely. I love that so many people in the community have been encouraging this kind of talk surrounding planners and journals.

[@ldc89]

Curious, where did you get that planner cover? :)

[@morningthaw7436]

Can you please link the shop where you purchased the cover?

[@randidotplans]

I got it from bujoplanner on Instagram! Marija runs her shop from her Instagram page, but she also has a Patreon that you can reach her at!

[@sarahvallejo896]

What’s the name of the second pen you used ever one you weren’t crazy about?

Love this! Can you share what you use to print your stickers? thanks!

[@randidotplans]

Thank you! I have an HP Inkjet Printer with transparent sticker paper from OnlineLabels!

[@annavona6437]

@@randidotplans thanks! I have a sprocket but realizing that transparent stickers are the way to go

[@cherryarellano-mignon120]

awesome penmanship!

[@ksk881]

I just finished Helen’s newest video, and uses so many of your stickers that I realized it’s been a bit since I saw one of your videos. This time I did the smart thing and subscribed! I like bullet journaling because I’m not really good at journaling every day. If I miss a few days, it’s no big deal. In June I ordered the half-year Hobonichi Cousin to try it because I love the way that Helen uses her’s. Now I love the way you use your’s as well. I’m going to keep trying to use mine daily, but if I find that I don’t, I’ll just go back to my Bujo. Either way, I’ll have plenty of your videos to re-watch and/or to catch up on! I’m going to check out your store as well because it looks like you have a lot of great stuff just by watching Helen! I love your handwriting, and it just makes your pages look so very special.

[@zairalopez7493]

Where I can find Rihanna's Christmas sticker?

[@CrazyCandiie]

Would you ever consider selling pages to learn how you do your lettering and handwriting? I’ve been wanting to learn just like your style and yours is so beautiful!

[@randidotplans]

Oh 🥺💘 thank you! I’m going to add lettering sheets to my list to work on this quarter Helen from TheCoffeeMonsterzCo has a handwriting template! And I think our handwritings are pretty similar 😅

[@CrazyCandiie]

@@randidotplans I love Helen’s content as well, so I will definitely check that out. But I’d love one from you as well - I’m new to your channel and in love

[@tiffb530]

How quickly does that Uni-ball One pen dry in the hobo??

[@randidotplans]

Almost instantly, in my experience. I failed to mention that the ink is also so matte on the paper, in addition to its richness and darkness.

[@tiffb530]

@@randidotplans thanks for replying - I had one in my cart waiting on this! 😆

[@CoutureByKrystal]

Can you feel more of these journal with me in your hobonichi cousin please?

[@imryujins]

just came across this video by accident when searching for how to get ink off of my cloth hobonichi cover... anyway, great content! I was wondering what that gret marker was? i love the color haha. and for that pink marker, was it from crayola or am i wrong?

[@randidotplans]

Thanks for tuning in! 💘 and I hope you found the video that’ll help with your cover situation The grey marker was a Pentel Fude Touch Brush Sign Pen in Gray. And the pink marker was a Crayola Super Tip!

[@imryujins]

@@randidotplans oh thanks for replying! And no I haven’t found it just yet… any tips? 😭 and thanks for puttin me on for that grey pen im obsessed

[@mazukie2553]

I saw your beautiful pages on IG and I fell in love with the system. Your video told me everything I needed to know about it and I already ordered mine. I also bought stickers from The Coffee Monster so my wallet doesn’t say thank you but I do!

[@randidotplans]

Oh yay!! And 🤣 so relatable with Helen’s shop. I love everything she releases!

[@nightdriver007]

😍 lovely

[@WillBujoForTreats]

Ugh Omgosh, I want one so bad lol. TELL ME TO GET ONEEEE 🥲😂✨

[@randidotplans]

Do it, do it!! 😂 10/10 recommend. And if this video wasn’t enough encouragement, head on over to LindseyScribbles page 🤣

[@katsmith8263]

💕💕👍👍👍

[@paolacontinued8824]

Love it!!!! I just have to mention that the volume is really low, even when I wear my headphones. Nonetheless, I cant wait for more videos!

[@TheRealDieNamo]

low-key feels sacrilegious not to use a fountain pen on a planner like this.
