In this video, I’m finally showing you the 2025 Doodle Planners—and yes, I’m being dramatic, but they genuinely feel extra special to me this year. I walk you through what makes the Doodle Planner my “brain child”: it’s for anyone who doesn’t want a boring planner, and it’s basically a mix between a planner, coloring book, journal, and notebook. I talk about the new covers (more fabrics, textures, and colors), how I’ve been finding Shop ARL’s “voice” (stationery but make it fashion), and why that feels so full circle for me. I also go inside the planner: goal planning spreads at the beginning and end, monthly calendars, weekly spreads, habit and mood trackers, plus blank pages throughout. Every page has hand-drawn illustrations, and this year we upgraded them—more things to color and customize, with monthly themes you haven’t seen before (and yes, maybe a few Easter eggs). The paper is 160 GSM, super thick, and I’ve used markers and even paint without bleeding or ghosting. And then I get real about how making these planners changed my life—how I lost my “big why,” felt like I was on autopilot, and finally let go of perfectionism. Refocusing on creating joyful art again (and putting my energy into Shop ARL) lifted a huge weight off my shoulders, and this planner represents that new era for me.
