Plant Based Bride is Summer BuJo Goals

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wilfrid Laurier chapter.

Whether you already bullet journal or you’re thinking of setting one up for the first time, you’ve probably seen photos of beautiful art on Instagram and followed along with plan-with-mes on YouTube. If you haven’t seen her work yet, my favourite YouTuber (and I LOVE YouTube) is Plant Based Bride! Elizabeth, found on Instagram as ElizabethTurn is a great person to watch for inspiration both on and off the pages of your journal. Here’s why I think she’s the best!

She lives in Toronto

This amazing artist is right up the road. It’s always great to support Canadian!

She uploads two plan-with-mes a month

Most YouTubers only do one, but Elizabeth makes videos of both her own and her husband’s bullet journals. That’s double the fun and double the inspiration. 

Her cats are the actual cutest

It’s not a Plant Based Bride video with a cat interruption, and it just adds that much more personality. 

Current events become themes

This month’s theme for her bullet journal is Game of Thrones because of the final season. So cute, so talented, so timely. 

Her channel is genuinely creative

Unlike most YouTubers, her content changes from month to month. It’s not the same layout with different colours, it’s a completely new approach. That’s so much harder, but also so much more rewarding to see.

Say it loud: Feminist AF

Her content is so inclusive. It’s like having a best friend tell you are more than your outer beauty every time you watch a video. 

… and she speaks to her mental health

Elizabeth has been super open on her channel about her struggles with mental illness. Seeing how talented she is while dealing with the same challenges as many of us is honestly so inspirational. 

Watching her grow is incredible

She recently quit her day job to focus on YouTube and her acting career. GOAT.

…and she shows how she’s already grown

It’s not all perfect watercolour art and flawless spreads. She shows her viewers the process and the mistakes, including the very beginning of her bullet journal journey!

On top of all that, she does more than BuJo!

She does style, she does stationery, she does reaction videos. Even better, she does them all well!
