Bye 2025! 👋

I’ve been wanting to make a year in review post but kept second-guessing if it’s too late into 2026, but I realized it’s never too late for reflection! This carousel feels like a Where’s Waldo. Can you find yourself in it lol?

I chose the word “SHINE” to be my word of the year because I wanted to shine brightly in different aspects of my life in 2025. While I don’t know if I was fully able to do that, I do know that I was incredibly blessed with so many fun opportunities in 2025. Although the world feels like it’s falling apart, I have hope that 2026 can become a year of growth, change, and abundance for all of us.

Happy 2026, my lovely eggies! 🍳

Here’s my planner and journal line-up for 2026! I finally had a chance to do my techo kaigi (手帳会議), which in Japanese translates to planner meeting. Essentially, techo kaigi is a time to reflect on the notebooks you want to use for the year.

My notebook stack has definitely decreased over the years, but I’m so happy that I’m in a place where I feel successful and creative with the notebook systems that I use. The full chatty setup video is up on the channel! 📕📘📗📓⁣

While bed rotting at home on Saturdays is tempting, sometimes it’s nice to take advantage of the weekend and spend a day getting creative. I completed these journal pages on a sunny Saturday in late October, recapping my brief visit to Vancouver during Canadian Thanksgiving. Do you prefer to journal in long sessions or a little each day? 💭
