Hi, I’m Mo.
Thanks for joining me today! I post videos three days a week. I post about creative simple living: books, cats, zero waste, bullet journaling, beach life, and more!

We are on a journey to become more zero waste, one month at a time. This is our second month and our challenge is to DECLUTTER EVERYTHING!! We must find out all the things we already own to see where are how we can reduce our waste.

This is a free zero waste challenge!! It’s easy and free!
Make a list of what you want to prioritize to declutter
Declutter those area!
Finish one area before moving on
Do as many areas on your list as you can in the month

Some things you might want to declutter: your dishes - do you need so many?, your bathroom items - do you have duplicates you can use up before you buy more?, your pantry - are there items that you can eat up before you go to the grocery again?, your art supples - make some art!, your inbox - unsubscribe unsubscribe unsubscribe!!! What else can you think of to declutter?

1 more month to zero waste:

1/1/21 - BxxKmas 2020 | January Bullet Journal Spread & Full Journal Flip | Minimalist BuJo | Plan with me

Hi, I’m Mo.
Thanks for joining me today! I post videos on Mondays and Fridays. Since I don’t celebrate xmas in the traditional way, why would I celebrate Bxxkmas in a traditional way? This is the last week of my first ever vlogmas\bookmas\BxxKmas and it's been great and hard!

Here is how I set up my Jan Spread in my Bullet Journal. I also show and tell you a description of how I use the monthly spreads in my BUJO. There is a daily fill in video on my channel (https://youtu.be/diKPqNabev8), an older journal flip through (https://youtu.be/f3c1mkF46p0 ), and I will do a Feb Plan with me later in Jan!!

Make sure to share your Jan spread or plan with me in the comments!

Find the journal I am currently using here:

Hi, I'm Mo.
Thanks for joining me today! I post videos on Mondays and Fridays. Since I don’t celebrate xmas in the traditional way, why would I celebrate Bxxkmas in a traditional way? I’ll be posting at least 4 videos a week for the rest of December!

Here is a typical day of filling in my bullet journal. I will be posting my January set up very soon and will also post a jan plan with me. I have a very minimalistic bujo and don't mind if I make mistakes.

Do you bullet journal?

Cats in this video: sadly none.

12/18 | BxxKmas 2020 | 1000 Doors Readathon Finale | Chatty Vlog | Vlog Fail?

I finally participated in the 1000 Door Readathon and in this vlog I finish it! This readathon was created by Meg with Books (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7p6EBNVA4bSzDdzl3bL_GA ), Drinking By My Shelf (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBv9PyaDIjq_7nnTreH93_A ), and Tea, Books, and Tasmyn (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjQuXVURkIu1zXLWhydIIvw ) and features Monica Kim (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCE91wUZaPq7M3uKgJlp9oag ).

This vlog is very chatty and a bit of a fail. I talk A LOT, visit a free little library, drink coffee, read a yellow book, eat pizza and pasta, get off my bxxkmas posting schedule, visit a park, and then talk some more.

Books read in this vlog:
Cape May Ghosts Stories (1988) David J Seibold and Chrles J Adams III
It’s Fine By Me (1992) Per Petterson

A Week of Books + BxxKmas + The Start of Weekly VIdeo Round Up

December 6, 2020 Ana Mo Shoshin

A Week of Books
Since October I’ve been doing a Week of Books each month to catch up on my book reviews before the end of the year. For each Week of Books, I post an extra post per day and this week will be the same! Hopefully I will be mostly caught up with all my book reviews and this will be the last WoB for 2020.

BxxKmas
In Dec, I’m also participating in BxxKmas, which is my version of Bookmas, which is BookTube’s version of Vlogmas. Vlogmas can take many different forms, but generally it’s a full month where YouTubers post daily or just more than they usually do. For BxxKmas, I will be posting 3-4 (or more??) videos per week. I will not be posting holiday content but will be posting mainly book content (hence the xx!). I started this project on 11/30 (pretty much) and it will run to the end of December. Check out my videos on BookTube channel or check out my new series the…

Weekly Video Round Up
Before this week, I was posting here about each video on the day it came out. But I have decided to stop spamming my readers with my YouTube/BookTube videos! There’s just too many videos! Especially with BxxKmas. So going forward, you’ll be able to find all the videos from the previous week neatly wrapped up in the Weekly Video Round Up. IN this new series, you will be able to find all the videos I’ve posted and all the info about them each week. But this week, since I have already posted the individual video posts, I will simply put the links here:
