Welcome Friends!

My name is Rina and I’m the creator of the.little.black.journal. I first started my online journey posting ASMR journal videos on TikTok. It was a way for me to de-stress after a long day. Little did I know I would obtain a few viral videos that landed me over 2 million followers.

Now that I have this platform, my goal is to inspire others and let everyone know that all art is beautiful art, because it comes from your soul!

Why I Love What I Do

It all started when I was young. Once a month my mom and her friends would get together and create their own scrapbooks. She would bring me along to make my own, consisting of pictures with my family and childhood friends at that time. It’s a fond memory of mine because I remember all the smiles and laughs those women had all while sharing their love for the hobby. Fast forward about 15 years, in 2019, my mother passed away. It’s been one of the toughest challenges in my life. She was my best friend.

That’s when I picked up scrapbooking again. It’s been my savior in trying to cope with my loss. A way to put my feelings on a page. And a way to feel closer to her once again. It’s been a blessing sharing my art with others. On my social media, I get many comments from others dealing with the same tribulations and it’s a reminder that we’re not alone in our struggles. Journaling/ Scrapbooking is an amazing way to release all the stresses of everyday life. And If I can help just one person by sharing my art, I have fulfilled my life’s mission.
