Surprise, it’s another video post lol this time I am sharing my Hobonichi for 2026! I filmed this last month and have just got around to editing it. I am super excited to try out having one notebook for a full year of journalling and I am interested to see what it will look like when it’s all filled in and full of life. But for now, it sits on a shelf and I will continue working on filling in my Hobonichi Avec.

I Got a Hobonichi Avec!

I was debating getting a Hobonichi for a while and when I saw they were releasing a half-year version I decided to bite the bullet and get one!

I am so excited to try out a new journalling style, I started getting back into writing a journal a few years ago and I think it would be good to try and get into the habbit of daily journalling. Currently, I only write once a week, if even, but I want to try journalling more often and what better way to do that than having a page-a-day journal?

I also like the way the Hobonichi has a weekly and monthly layout because it means I can incorporate some of my sticker planning which I got into a few years ago. I think having it all in one notebook will be handy and also hopefully force me to keep on top of everything.

So we’ll see how it goes, will probably do an update video later in the year on how I’m finding it and what I plan to do next year but for now, I’ll be waiting until July so I can finally start using it lol

My First Aura Estelle! | 2022 Planner Unboxing

I have my planner for 2022!

Sticker planning has been a hobby of mine for a few years now and I am finally going to be taking the plunge next year and going full force in my sticker memory planning aka weekly sticker kits for every single week in the year.

I have included a photo below of what a typical weekly sticker kit looks like in my planner so you get the idea.

The past few years I have only been doing these kind of spreads for special occasions because it seemed like a lot of money to spend on stickers to do this every week. And it is a costly hobby, not going to lie I’m ashamed to say how much money I have spent on stickers this year because it’s just not the one.

But because I enjoy this hobby so much, I’ve decided to take it this step further. I didn’t want to start out full force in case I stopped the hobby after a few weeks and wasted money but because I’ve been keeping it up for a while I think it’s fine for me to take this step.

I have no idea what next year will hold for me in terms of life events or anything, but just know that I’ll be capturing it all in a pretty planner with lots of stickers haha. I look forward to showing you what it all looks like at the end of next year!
