Oh hey, you found me!

Hi, I'm Jade
So Glad You're Here!

I'm the girl behind In Motion Journal. Grab a drink, get comfy, and let me tell you a little about who I am and why I started rambling on the internet.

Short version? I'm a lifestyle blogger who talks about everything I'm genuinely obsessed with — the drama that ruined my sleep schedule, the savings challenge that actually worked, the routine I'm still trying to stick to. No filter. Just real.

My Story

Okay So Here's How
This Actually Started

Honestly? This blog started as a notes app addiction. I was saving drama recs, budget breakdowns and random wellness tips for myself — and then sending them to everyone I knew via extremely long, unsolicited voice notes.

At some point a friend said "Jade just write this stuff somewhere people can actually find it" and so here we are. You're welcome, friend.

I was so tired of lifestyle content that felt completely unachievable. The 5am routines filmed in a perfect kitchen. The "effortless" aesthetics. The financial advice that assumed you already had money. Where was the content for the rest of us?

"I built the blog I wish had existed when I was trying to figure my life out — honest, warm, a tiny bit chaotic, and actually useful."

So I built it myself. And now you're here reading this. Which genuinely makes my whole day. 🌸

The Vibe Check

What Kind of Blog Is
This, Exactly?

Think of this blog as your most well-read, slightly obsessive, always-has-a-rec friend who has also done all the research so you don't have to. That's literally the whole vibe.

💬
Honest, Always
No toxic positivity. No pretending everything is perfect. Just real talk from a real person who is very much still figuring it all out alongside you.
🎯
Actually Useful
Every post is written to genuinely help you. If I write about budgeting there's a real budget in it. If I rec a drama I've actually watched it. All of it.
Warm & Fun
Life is stressful enough without your favourite blog adding to it. This is supposed to feel like a cosy corner of the internet where you can exhale.
🌸
For Real Girls
Not the perfectly curated girl. The one with 47 open tabs, a half-finished planner, and way too many dramas on her list. She's my person.

A Bit More
About Jade

Outside of blogging I am basically just a girl with too many tabs open and too many opinions about which drama you should be watching right now. I have a complicated relationship with my to-read list, a very healthy relationship with tea, and an unshakeable belief that a good routine can genuinely change your life.

I'm the friend who sends you a savings tip at 11pm, cries at drama finales, makes a playlist for every possible mood, and shows up with snacks and an unreasonable number of film recommendations.

I also firmly believe rest is productive, the soft life is a completely valid lifestyle, and anyone who says budgeting isn't fun has simply never tried a savings challenge. Change my mind.

Fun Facts

Completely Unnecessary But
Deeply True Things About Me

You didn't ask for these. I'm sharing them anyway because this is my blog and I make the rules here. 😌

01
🎭
I Am Physically Incapable of Watching Just One Drama at a Time
Currently have four on the go. One for romance, one for tension, one for stress, and one someone described as "just okay." It is NOT just okay. I am not okay.
02
📓
I've Been Journaling Since I Was a Teenager and I Will Never Stop
Multiple filled notebooks under my bed. They are sealed forever. Some things are strictly between me, past Jade, and absolutely nobody else.
03
My Entire Personality Resets After One Good Cup of Tea
Before tea: chaotic, unfocused, slightly dramatic. After tea: functioning adult with opinions and ideas. The transformation is genuinely alarming.
04
💸
I Once Did a No-Spend Week and Accidentally Loved It
It was supposed to be awful. It was actually really calming? Like a digital detox but for my wallet. Still processing this information about myself.
05
📚
My To-Read List Has Completely Escaped All Control
Every recommendation goes straight on it. The list is now longer than one human lifetime can accommodate. I keep adding. This is fine. I'm fine.
06
🌙
This Entire Blog Was Mostly Written After 10pm
Bad posture, a blanket, tea that went cold at least twice. Something about the quiet makes my brain work. Most posts exist because of that late-night energy.

You'll Love This Blog If You're
Anything Like Me

Not sure if this is your place? Let's do a quick vibe check. If three or more of these are you — welcome home, we're going to get along perfectly.

🎬
You've recommended a drama so aggressively that someone watched it just to make you stop talking about it.
💸
You've googled "how to save money" at least once while actively in the middle of spending money.
🌿
Your routine exists entirely in theory. You have a full plan. You are not currently following it.
📚
Your to-read list is completely out of control and you're adding to it while already behind.
You believe in the soft life and are actively building it around your very real responsibilities.
🌙
You do your best thinking at night when you should absolutely be asleep by now.
