I was sent this item to take a peek at and share with you guys if I liked it so yeah. So thank you to the Erin Condren team for sending this my way. So the particular focused planner that I have there’s two separate options. This one is $ 39. You can personalize it.
I believe that there is a charge for that. Possibly you can always do. I think it’s down here, if I remember right, but there’s oil options and there’s also like the blind imprint, which is like reverse and brass embossing kind of so anyways. I chose not to personalize all so you can choose your calendar options, they’re all 12-month options, and you can start it like July to June or like all the way to just like January to December.
If that makes sense, so I got mine for a January through December. This book size is a 5 by 8, there’s also a 7 by 9 and then the 7 by 9. The larger one is $ 44. So let me show you what the 5 by 8 looks like next to a life planner. This is my current life planner that I am still working in until July. It might be July by the time you see this, I’m not sure but yeah. So this is the size different for you guys it’s like all the way up there, and then this one has a like luxe cover where this I got.
Ta looks cover this past year and I really love it so yeah, it’s like the same. You know nice hard board basically, but it’s very like it’s like a leather like feeling on there and it comes with a black coil. I’ve actually never had a black coil before I don’t think I don’t think I’ve ever had a black coil anyways but yeah. This is the black coil. Clearly it is so much smaller than the life planner one, but that’s because there’s less pages so, let’s open her up – and I should say also it only comes with the black cover – doesn’t have any options with that.
So, let’s open her up, donc done! Oh so pretty still has the woven wonder on the other side – and this is the focused planner from Erin Condren and I’ve actually never seen one of these in person before by the way so like bear with me. I’ve readed other people’s articles, but I’ve never actually like had one in my hands before this is kind of exciting. Alright. So then we have 2019 2020 holidays, which is great because you know you can start your planner anytime, but it is still a 12 month planner and then we’ve got important dates to remember and then all the months and then some notes pages and then there’s like These little oh cool, there’s like little cutouts and then here is your month at a glance which is great and then there’s a little next month over here, which I am loving, that they did that in the new Erin Condren life planners as well.
If you’re interested in that I’ll put a link somewhere for you, so this is January, and then this reminds me of like one of my dad’s planners that he had, but it was like way smaller. It’s a teeny, tiny, but it had these little like lifti tabs. That were just like that, so that’s kind of cool anyway, so this is kind of like where you can put, I don’t know it looks like maybe like notes or something for the month, so on this side, there’s some little circles, which basically are I don’t know To me, they look like checkboxes, but it seems like it’d, be really easy to make this really whatever you want cuz, it’s kind of pretty simplified over here.
It just says, notes and then aligned page and then same over here. Oh, are these undated? What I’m confused? Oh okay, so like there’s, no, like weekly pages hold on okay. So sorry, I’ve never seen these before alright. So I guess that this, maybe it would be your weekly page but it’d be like a Monday through Friday or like whatever five days. You work like one. Two three four five and then like notes, I don’t know, but that’s cool like if you just want to keep track of your schedule this way.
I think that is a really cool idea and then, like week, one of the month week, you know week two week, three four and you know sometimes there’s five, that’s kind of cool. I like that. You kind of like make it whatever you want, which is nice, so I know a lot of people really like this for just like sitting on their desk. You know if you work like in a more corporate place, and you really don’t want like this on your desk.
I don’t care, but I don’t. I actually don’t bring my planner to work, but I do have lots of accoutrements on my desk, which is totally fine in my working environment, and I totally understand if it’s not in yours. But this would be like a really easy thing to like. Take with you to like a meeting or something like that. Oh I should also mention the focus. Planner collection also has just like notebooks as well so yeah, but that’s something that take a peek at on the erin condren website.
I do not have one of those, but it is, you know something to look at if you’re in stir stir yield but yeah, let’s get to the back and see if there’s anything else back here, because sometimes there is – and sometimes there is not so we got To go all the way to December here we go done all right, so you’ve got our pages for the week. Okay and the very end hold on says. Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another: isn’t that the truth, and then on the back? It has also the woven wonder luxe cover on the back as well, so yeah these are really kind of cool.
I know this was like a really quick little walkthrough article, but this is pretty plain: there’s not much to it, but I can totally see you know certain types of people wanting to use something like this either on their desk or maybe it’s a family calendar or Something like that and yeah this is, this is actually really kind of cool. So let me know down in the comments. Are you a focused planner person? Are you a life planner person or maybe you’re, like a deluxe monthly person? I mean I don’t know, but let me know down in the comments below so that is going to be it for me today on the erin condren focus planner.

Today we were working on Monday, a February 18 through a Sunday, a February 24. It’s been a really long time since I filmed a article, it’s actually been a month since I filmed the article there’s no real reason. I just wasn’t really feeling like inspired and motivated. So anyway, I wanted to show you guys I did do some planning without y’all.
Sorry, and so this workweek was kind of crazy, so this is January 28th through a February 3rd, and I worked from home for four days because it was just like nasty, so I did do this, so that was good right and then also this week. I put in as well and yeah like the way it turned out, and I don’t know I just I really enjoyed doing this without the camera. If that makes sense like it just didn’t, feel the pressure to be on not that I really feel the pressure to be on, but just you know when you’re not feeling motivated, and you just want to just do it – you just do it so anyways, and this Was the week of Valentine’s Day? This is all I did so we’re just going to leave it like that.
So anyway, this week is we’re going to get into Oh before I start I like to share to my new viewers. If you’re new here hi, I use an Erin Condren monthly deluxe planner in the hourly layout in the colorful, and I have a gold coil. I have the luxe cover and I put my blog initials on there on the cover and then also this is just a patch like it’s an adhesive patch. So yeah, that’s that’s what I that’s what I do so alright, let’s get into the actual decorative planning.
So this week was, I had another snow day. It’s just like the snow. Won’t stop y’all it just it’s like can’t. Stop won’t stop. I don’t know what to do what the deal is so anyway. I am so over this snow. Just it needs to just stop already and today, when I’m filming this, it’s actually snowing pretty bad in the South Metro. I live in Minnesota. If you guys don’t know, it’s snowing, pretty bad in the South Metro and then up towards the north.
Where I live – and I think this is kind of going on everywhere, but it’s like a blowing snow, it’s just kind of annoying. So yeah, that’s uh! That’s what’s shakin here in Minnesota land! I don’t know it’s just it’s very, very strange! So this week I actually got my taxes done, which is you know, oh so fun for everybody right, so that was on Tuesday or sorry Tuesday afternoon, where my taxes and then so Monday night, I did tax prep Wow.
I can’t talk tax prep whoo can’t talk today, um pretty much all night, so yeah. So I do stuff for like my business and then I had to gather some things for personal, and you know all that good stuff, so yeah kinda, fun, yay taxes. All right. I’m just trying to put my work in here and then Thursday. I think yeah Thursday and Friday both stayed until 5:30 oops. I had to get a couple of things accomplished before I left for the day that just tends to happen with the projects.
I do it. Just takes a long time – and it’s like do I wan na just save this for tomorrow and not remember where I am in the process, or do I just want to you know power through for another hour hour and a half whatever, so I tend to be The one that would just power through it and get it done before I leave because I don’t want to miss any of the the steps. Cuz there’s a lot there’s a lot. So here is my beautiful miss.
I could not like, for the life of me, decide on a color of washi today, so I’m like screw it, I’m just going to go gold, and I don’t know what the stickers are going to look like. So I think I’m just going to like open up a binder and see what speaks to me. You know let’s do purple and pink. Why not right all right. So, let’s put in all the work stiff. Oh you know I forget. Sometimes I’m not going to forget today dang it that I have these really cool work stickers, so you don’t have to write work some days you guys some days.
I just can’t figure out my life. Put all the things in. Oh, I just had one of those moments worth like. Did I even turn the camera on that has happened to me more than once? If I do say so myself and if y’all film articles, you probably have felt that same feeling as well. Alright, so I’m going to use my plan to plan sticker Co, little guys that say work from home because that’s what happened that day? Okay, I need my Christian binder, it’s very full at the moment.
It’s always full. What am I talking about? Alright, I need to find my snow day here we go, I think I’m going to have to like order a new one. After all of this, like all the shenanigans of all this snow we’ve been having lately, you think I’ll put that sucker up there. It’s really the only reason I work from home or if I have like an appointment or something in my area, because I work pretty far away, then I will do that, but very rarely alright and then Monday night.
I did text prepping basically for the evening it was very enthralling guys, it’s very enthralling and it like took me all night to get everything done and handled so use this cute little washi. That’s like paper clips cuz. You know the cuteness. I want like a full box or something I don’t know what I want. Let’s see here use one of these okay, here’s my little tax, prep box. There we go, and I figured it would be fun to you know, put some little oops accoutrements on here, because I have them and why not, I feel like I’d like refine just stickers all the time.
Alright, so here’s my little check receipts and yeah like this is how I felt this like once more with love sticker. I don’t know it’s going to focus properly there. It goes that’s exactly how I felt on Monday, alright, and then I put everything in a fancy. Little folder and put it in my purse and then I went to my tax appointment very exciting all right and then on Tuesday at 3:00 I had my tax appointment and it actually went well.
I had asked my tax preparer if she had had clients that were happy or upset when they left her office, and she said unfortunately, she’d had more that were upset. But I didn’t get as much back that I got back last year, but you know that’s because it’s just like some of the new tax laws and things like that so anyway, but you know I was just fine with me and I know like if you all Are Dave, Ramsey people we shouldn’t be getting money back, but it’s so difficult to decipher that when you have a small business as well so anyway, I didn’t have to pay it, so that was that was good.
So anyway, I got my taxes done. I didn’t do anything on Wednesday because it was a snow day Thursday. I went and I picked up my prescription, so I’m going to use these little guys, so I just ran after work a little pick up at Walgreens, alright and I ran to Target after work on Friday. It seems to be like my go-to is just you know, run to target on Friday or do like grocery shopping on Friday, because that just makes life easier.
You know, and then I did laundry Saturday, let’s see what’s going on here. I forget to put in my trash: sometimes there we go Marriott’s to do laundry. Alright, I’m just going to go clean and then like a little house icon, because you know that’s kind of what was going on that day and then I took a nap because you know it’s tired, but it’s just the reality of it. I was tired, y’all someone used one of these little guys.
Let’s see here well use the little mmm. Let’s go. Snooze yes took a little snooze. Oh we’re going to use these as well. These are from Lily Henry, but I’m not sure if her shop is still up or not. If they are, I mean, if any of these shops that I use are open like I will always link them below, for you guys, but um yeah. I have stuff from so long ago and I you know I want to use it up, but sometimes the shops are closed or they’re discontinued or it was like a limited run.
So but I don’t want to be wasteful and not use my stuff so yeah and then today I am filming and editing and that’s about it and I’m dreading taking Doyle out on his afternoon walk because it’s like blowing snow out there and I’m not really wanting To do that at the moment so put in a little filmy guy right there. No, basically, the rest of my night is going to be this editing sans the bracelets. I don’t I don’t do the bracelet thing.
Well, that’s cute! I’ve never used one of these stickers before very cute. I think I think, all right, so that is it for this week. I hope you guys enjoyed the article. Sorry, it’s been so long since I’ve been online, but there are more articles to come actually filming a couple right after this. So you’ll see some more in your inbox this week.

Sorry, I’ve been a little m.I.A but dealing with some health problems and all that good stuff. If you guys want to see all of that good stuff, you can check out my last vlog tober series, because I did vlog every day in the month of October, which is what we’re going to talk about so like regular content.
Articles have not really been happening, but I figured I would sit down today and do this and share with you guys what I have been doing in the month of October, since I don’t really do like normal plan with me articles any longer. I like to kind of recap at the end of the month. What really works for me is laying down all the things that I know is going to be happening. So, like my work laundry, you know trash day if I have like an appointment or whatever that really helps me out and then, when I get home I kind of decompress and then I put in anything else that was kind of like happening that day.
This is my first week of October, so we have September 30th through the 6th and lots of fun. Things happened this week, the location for the new goal unit, the new the next go. Wild conference was announced it’s going to be in Anaheim, California, which I’m very excited about. I also went dairy-free this week right here. You can see. I went three four actually to the Saturday and Sunday as well, but that didn’t change any of my medical things so anyway we’re trying some stuff, but so yeah, but then um.
I requested my time off that day for the actual wild. You know they are the wild sale, I’m sorry, the wild planner convention and I had to call and make a bunch of appointments this week for some future surgery, I’m going to be having which I still haven’t had yet and then on the fifth that I actually Had my high school reunion, which was really really fun, I am one of the organizers, so I’ve got there a little bit earlier than you know normal and had a really really great time, seeing other people and we had like really good mix of people too.
So it was really really fun. I did leave a little bit early. I’ve been struggling with migraines um, that’s part of all of this health problems and I just had to leave a little bit earlier and – and I woke up with migraine so yeah alright. So, let’s go on to the next week, so here we are looking at October 7 through the 13 through the 13 during the turn 13 sorry, I wanted to use some of my simply gilded stickers in this spread.
Also, this washi is from simply gilded as well. I get like the simply gilded boxes. I do hauls on those, so if you’re interested feel free to go back on my blog and check those out so this week, I did have to work from home a couple of days. That is because of migraines so yeh. This I actually didn’t work the whole morning and then I worked later on in the afternoon did a little car repair action every time I do every time I have actually have like a payday, I always put usually in the sunday morning.
Cuz I sleep in um. I usually put like what bills I have to pay, even though I’ll sometimes pay them other days. But I like to kind of do that just to like remind myself what’s going on and then I uploaded a bunch of articles and took a nap because I had a migraine, woohoo, so yeah and then I gave myself a manicure that actually looks kind of like This one, but it’s not – this – is like a like. A burgundy knive got this on today.
It’s really overcast outside, so the natural light is showing a little bit of a different color, but this is more of a purple anyway. Alright, so, and then this is October 14 through the 20th. This was actually supposed to be my surgery week for my first surgery, which was removing my fallopian tubes, and that didn’t happen. Unfortunately, on Monday I got a call from my surgeon’s office saying that she had a family emergency and she could not perform my surgery and I’m supposed to be on this Thursday.
So I had to call my mom because she was flying in and was going to fly in this day, so it got all sorts of screwed up so anyway, it’s already happened now, but you guys won’t see that spread. I don’t think you’re going to see. No, you won’t see that spread until November, so anyways, but that was kind of a little bit of an issue and glad we got it figured out. But oh man, that kind of sucked and it kind of pushed everything else back pretty far.
Unfortunately, but you know I’m just I’m just doing what I can so on Monday night I went out with some of my girlfriends. We went and had some delicious Mexican food and on Tuesday I had a hair appointment, which was great, and you know just just lots of fun things. I ended up picking a winner for a giveaway that I had had. I worked from home this day because migraine no fun and yeah lots of lots of no funds.
Like a bottom migraine, a lot of my grand I cleaned a little bit there. Oh no good, I don’t like migraines and then this I didn’t even finish out this week. You guys was just like over it um anyways. So now we are in October 21 through the 27th, which is the last weekly spread of this planner. Oh by the way, I’m using the Erin Condren hourly planner in the binder version in the colorful way, there’s like a colorful and a neutral, but I like the colorful, so anyways um.
This week I had two yeah two migraines good times, and even though I had a payday here – and I have my bills here – I did pay them, even though I did not check them off so anyway. This week was just not a good week, and I just you know, sometimes you just don’t feel like completing the day or whatever I don’t know. Sometimes it’s just not sometimes is not in the cards to finish out your week or finish out the day and be like you know what I don’t know it’s been so long now I don’t even know what happened so I’m not going to go back and like Post planet or whatever, but I think yep that is the last thing and also onion.
I know some of you readed my budgeting articles. I didn’t even do a budget for November um. I think what I’m going to do is just kind of quickly skip November and I’ll do a December one for y’all, because it is what the twenty-something, what the 24th of November and no one cares to see a November budget that late. So I think I want to do is do a December one for y’all, but anyway, that is it. For my October walkthrough of my weekly spreads in Erin Condren life planner.
I hope you guys enjoyed the article if you did make sure to give it a thumbs up, feel free to subscribe.

That is it. Thank you guys so much for hanging out with me today and I will see y’all in the next article bye guys well folks, it’s time to kick it old-school.
This is an Erin Condren haul. However, these things were actually sent to me by the team at Erin Condren. One of these things is something I wouldn’t normally buy for myself and I’ll explain why and soon as I open it and then some of the other things I was really excited to see, and I’m excited to see everything to be completely honest.
These are things that I’ve never seen before and some of their new releases. This is a teacher themed haul, so these are just kind of my basic first impressions. I know the paper quality is the same, so I’m not going to be doing a pen test today, but let’s open it and see what I got I like all I’ve done is just here I’ll show you I just like lifted this and peek inside to make Sure it’s the right order and then I was like okay, I’m covering up the address and I am filming this bad boy roof.
So, let’s open this up, I know it’s going to look kind of crooked for a minute, but you get the create your own sunshine and it’s like a little postcard, which is great, and this feels different like it feels very, like silky compared to the other ones, Which is kind of cool and then unenjoyable of these, and then, if we open it up, I can never open it up like really nicely dum-dum-dum. Alright, let me pull all this stuff out of here, because I don’t like the crinkly sound when I do the article and let’s just keep on going so this is what I wanted to show you guys.
This is oh my gosh. I can’t like so many things on my desk here. Oh no, oh no things are falling down. Oh no things are falling, oh okay, hold on alright. Are we good? No we’re not we’re still, not good. Okay. Here it goes yeah. So here it is. This is the teacher lesson planner yeah look at this. It is so big you guys. Let me show you first scale, so this is my regular, like 7 by 9 Erin Condren planner, and let me just like put it right in the corner here.
So that’s the difference in size scale, crazy right. I think I like this big one. I think this is cool um, but anyway this is my like regular planner, but I just wanted to like pull that out for size. You still get one of these clip-in rulers, which has the protective film on it. I got the colorful pencils design, color away. I did not get it personalized because if you guys know me, I’m not like really into that much personalization, but you know I wanted to look at this.
It also has like the dry erase, so you can do this just like a regular one, and then you open up the first page and it says teacher lesson planner. This book belongs to so let’s just do like a little walkthrough of this, because I’ve never seen this before, and I want to know what’s in it too so anyway. This is just like a nice information page that has just like all of your contact information. Your classroom resources, the web resources and passwords classroom events and volunteers date and event, information, and I like how it has like all these little tabs to just like the regular planner, but it has like different types of tabs communication.
Log you’ve got 2018-2019 a lot of people like to use like little transparent, dots and put like a key up at the top or the bottom, just like in your you know the regular 7 by 9 life planner and then you’ve got your year plan. So you’ve got January through December and then we go along to graph paper. So we’ve got a couple of sheets of that yeah, a few sheets of graph paper, oh and then there’s some lined pages, and then this starts July on the front page of the July monthly view is just a bunch of lines which is nice and then also Dates to remember, if you’ve got like things going on or conferences or special meetings, or something like that nice to know, and then here is the month view and I like how, in the new planners for 2018 2019, they have included in the bottom right hand corner The next month, so you can kind of like look ahead, a little bit which is really great and then we’ve got all of our days, so you’ve got Monday through Friday and then you’ve got six different categories here.
So you’ve got one two three four five six and then you’ve got kind of a blank category which you could make like a seventh category, or it could be like a total of our Italian like that. So it’s just Monday through Friday and then also there’s just these little little lines. So it gives you a little bit of a guide which is nice, so if you’re, actually writing or if you’re, using stickers or whatever you’re trying to do so.
That happens for all of the weeks it looks like and then what happens at the end of the month. Okay, so the end of the month, you get two lined pages, which is fabulous, oh and then also when you flip to the next month, then you got more line pages, the dates to remember and then into August. So it goes like this until May of next year or sorry June of next year. I’m sorry, I didn’t. I can’t see y’all.
So let’s get to the end of June, alright! So we’re at the end of June here and then we’ve got oh. This is really nice. We’ve got a page that says July right there and that’s actually really nice. So if you know something that’s coming up in your next school year, like 2019 2020, which wow that sounds that sounds way far ahead. But it’s really not you. Can you know, make some notes or things like that to put into your next a teacher lesson planner.
This is just a little checklist and I believe the checklist was the one that you could get modified. So you could get the standard amount of pages or you could get more pages for a fee, but I like that there is a you know, name category, oh and it says you can fold or cut along this line. Okay, so you can go. I don’t know like you, can do it like this, I’m not a teacher guys, I don’t know, and you can put like assignments up here and then you can just like keep going with.
You know what you got happened in here or a name. I don’t know. I don’t know how this works, but yeah. I got some extra pages because I started to like see how it would look and then I want to see the back, because I have heard that the stickers are really really good, y’all, okay, all right and then so. The back says, a good teacher is like a candle. It consumes itself to light the way for others.
That’s a really cute all right, and then these stickers are so good. So you’ve got some calculators stars globes checks, books, hearts. It looks like kind of sciency. Looking things exclamation points, it says IEP little asterisks and then we got some apples and then there’s some different phrases says note to self meeting. Furlough assembly, holiday, testing, reminder field trip conferences and to do which is all on the different kinds of foil.
Hopefully, that’s coming off on camera, it’s kind of a gloomy day today, so it might not be coming off on camera very well and then we have this sheet, which is so pretty. It’s got like coffee and birthday cake and like just some functional and decorative. Oh, this is so pretty and then these little apples down here say like big day break time to prep me time note to self you did it awesome and way to go.
Those are really cute. Oh my gosh, I’m like obsessed with these. These binder clips are giving me life you guys those are so freaking cute. Oh my gosh, this whole page, like I just I want this whole pages. So, yes, there is more of these functional and decorative stickers. Loving this and the foil is so good y’all, oh and then we’ve got our standard, our tried-and-true basic, functional event, stickers, which is awesome and then over here on the back side, we’ve got a pocket folder, which is great, and then it’s got.
You know this pocket back here too again. Over here is going to be. Oh, this is that um. Alright, this is another thing you could get more of. I believe I think you could add additional ones in here. This is like a slip pocket, so you could. It’s like a sheet protector, so you can put you know things in here, so you could put like this kind of stuff in here. I guess, or you could put like sheets in there.
I believe that you could order more of these to get coiled in to your planner as well kind of cool right and then the back is the same as the front, but reversed cool right. I know some of you are going to be like Emily you’re. Clearly, not a teacher and you clearly don’t have children. What are you going to do with this planner, and my answer is I’m not sure, but I thought that this would be a really cool thing to show you guys just so you can see the inside of it.
I mean I’ve been an Erin Condren fan for like several years and I had never seen like physically seen the inside of a teacher planner from Erin Condren ever so. It’s kind of cool, like I think, it’s kind of neat, and even even if okay so like this is me trying to like modify everything in life. So, even if you worked like a regular like a Monday through Friday job – and you never worked a weekend or anything like that, you could definitely use this.
You know probably the like the checklists or whatever, but you could definitely use this for like different categories of the day or I don’t know I mean you could use it for so many different things and I think that’s just kind of like what’s cool about a Lot of the products from Erin Condren is that you can kind of modify it to fit the needs of whatever you want it for, but I think it would be actually be really cool for like a work planner as well.
You know like if you wanted to modify it, but you know you can just use like a regular life planner as well. But if you really like these categories, which I kind of find really interesting, that would be really really kind of cool and even okay. So this is like back in the day when I used to do like retail management, and I didn’t have like a ton of employees, but I’m just thinking about this right now on the fly sitting here so say, like November 5th, through 9th I mean.
Obviously I worked retail but, like I didn’t, have a ton of employees I at one of the locations I worked at doing retail. I think I had like 6 employees, so this would actually be perfect. So, like you could put everybody’s like all the employees names on there and then the shift that they like. If they work on Monday, then you put their shift down and then you put like tasks for them. So you could like literally just have this open like on the desk, and then people could come in and see like.
Oh Tim needs to do blah-blah-blah-blah-blah and then, like Heather needs to do dinner to do on this date. Like that’s kind of nice, you could just like check it off when it’s done like that would actually be really kind of a cool thing. But this is just me talking about ideas, so obviously you could do whatever you want to with it. But I think this is a really really neat planner for sure, or I wanted to show you guys this planner, but I also want to show you guys the rest of the haul that I got so when I was talking to the team at Erin Condren.
I really wanted this article to be focused on this planner, as well as some of the accessories that I feel like could be used for lots of different things, and so, let’s get into some of the accessories. So with my order came these pins. Let me zoom in a little bit for the rest of this, because yeah these pens are amazing. They are the fine tip designer gel pens in the classic there’s four of them at 0.
5. Millimeter fine point pens. I have not tried them yet, but let’s try them now, I’m going to just. I just have some like white sticking on paper. I know some people actually got these, but they were supposed to be just like a free gift with purchase as of right now. But I don’t know if they’re going to put them on their website at all. Maybe they will. I don’t know so. Let’s try them all right. So there’s the green kind of skipped a little bit at the very beginning, but of course it’s never been used before.
So that could be something to do with it. This one skipped a little bit at the beginning too, but saved itself. In the end, these feel really nice. Actually, yes, these do feel quite nice, oh yeah, the black ones, my favorite for sure, but yeah. These feel really nice. Let me young tsumugi isn’t so you can see that a little bit better. So at the very beginning it was skipping a little bit, but that’s because I’m clearly never never used this before.
So that’s probably why so? The next thing I got was some Flair. They got the Erin Condren signature glasses with a mug of happiness and then also a pencil not going to take these out, because I don’t think it really. You know you don’t need to like see them in action. They’re. Just some Flair pins, which I I also ended up getting these lined sticky notes. These are the new ones for last or new ones.
For last you new ones for this year, that are the teacher collection, and let me show you guys what it looks like inside of the lesson planner. So usually you grab a month, and then you put it right here yeah, like fits perfect, it’s got this little 3m tab right here, so you could really put it on whatever you would like. The sticky is the same as last year, where it goes down about half way a little less than half way, and then you can just sticker right on to here kind of nice right and then this is the old planner.
I don’t have a new planner for this year yet, and I don’t know if and when I’ll I mean, I don’t know when I’ll be getting one, but this is the same size as the ones from last year. If you guys can see that like it goes down all the way but yeah, I think that’s really nice, I’m I like a good sticky note. You guys, I really do enjoy a good sticky. Note! Oh – and these are called the stylized sticky note pad also a free gift was.
This was free with a teacher lesson planner when I placed the order and then these are really cool too they’re. Just some gift labels and they’ve got a couple of different designs. Let’s look at them, but this was also a free gift at the time that I placed the order, and so you’ve got oh cool, there’s a couple of different varieties in here. You could use these for like nametags or you could use them for, like gift, sir, I don’t know you could kind of use them for a little bit of whatever so yeah there’s quite a few in here, Wow cool but yeah.
You could use these for like some name tags or just labeling things in the classroom or just gift tags really neat right. The next thing is something I’m super excited about, and I’m probably going to be using and my normal planning session. Is this a plus style sticker pad? It’s got 16 pages of stickers and there’s more than a thousand in here, I’m so excited for this. Oh, my goodness. I’m an excitement overload at the moment.
Oh this is so pretty good when this like feels like really nice. Oh, it’s got like a little window, so these are some gorgeous stickers. These are those like clear stickers which are in there new sticker book, there’s kind of like the regular matte stickers and then some of the like clear, transparent stickers. These are those and they just feel so nice and there’s a bunch of sayings on there a bunch of decorative elements and then we get into some regular stickers.
So some nice functional stickers with some tabs and then little Flags, more flags, and these have some nice little apples on them and then these ones have stars on them and then we’ve got a lot of like meeting things so like there’s a just a blank spot. Two blank spot, so you could, you know, put in a time or something like that, be really nice and the planner. These are pretty. Oh. I like these yep, I’m going to need these.
These are gold and then they have a little asterisks right. There love a good aligned anything. This is so nice. Oh, these are really cute. These are little binder clips and some have just like little paper clips, so nice and then we’ve got some quotes and then these here, oh look at it. This way. These are really really nice. Some nice school sayings and teacher sayings back to this way, and then this page again is one of those transparent pages.
It’s really glossy, oh, it feels so nice like Buddha and then we’re back to the regular paper that has a bunch of the days of the week on it ooh. This is the glossy paper again with all the different icons on there and then again the glossy with the alphabet, more alphabet, o n numbers, and this is the regular paper and then this is all the rose, gold and the capital letters. Oh my gosh. I’m really excited about this, you guys and next up.
I got this two-sided dashboard in the live, love, learn and yeah. Let’s, let’s check her check her out. So clearly you can put this inside of your planner, but you know you can snap it onto here. I really really wanted to do is look at this with this. Oh and it’s definitely that you could fit right here as well, so they did make them a little bit shorter, for you know the teacher lesson planner ones, so you could put them with your regular erin condren life planner.
If you wanted to very cool nice, I also got these. These are the fine tip what erase marker sets they’ve had the other ones in the past, but this is the fine tip one. So I wanted to check these guys out and see so, let’s, let’s do it together, so you’ve got black and we’ve got blue. I got green and this one’s kind of a. I don’t know kind of a pinky color cool and these do usually take a minute or two to dry, but they usually work.
Pretty well is what I’ve heard. I don’t. I don’t really use a lot of the what erase markers and my daily planning, but I like that. There’s a fine tip point though too, because you know the other ones are just a fatter tip points. You just can’t get enough. You know written down sometimes depending on how much text you want to write down on any of the dashboards. Also, you could use these inside of your cover right here as well, but yeah, it’s totally dry now.
So it’s just been a second, no crazy editing going on right. There I promise and then the last thing I got. I actually need a scissors for because it was something that was customizable. I actually didn’t customize it at all, but I know a lot of people would customize it for themselves if they were a teacher, but I just thought it was really interesting and I wanted to see it in person. So this bad boy right here is a substitute report and it’s just in the regular rainbow version.
So it says substitute report and there’s like a little dashes for the day and it says class of and that’s where you can actually customize it, to put your name or what class it is. If it’s like history or I don’t know whatever it is, and then this box has helpful people to talk to so reliable students, other teachers, the principal vice principal and then the secretary and then the time and activity absences and tardies, classroom, behavior and then some area For notes what we did today, what we didn’t get to today – star students and then difficult students, so this is really nice.
Also on the back. Are these little sticky guys? So you could definitely put this either in like the back of a notebook, or you could put this also either in the back or the front of this guy right here. I know a lot of people end up doing that. Also, let me put that right there. So it’s a little bit more centered in the frame for you, sorry, I’m like filming and it’s not that far away from the camera.
But this would be really nice too, because then it would just sit like this whoops. I can’t do it right and then it would be up a little bit on your actual planner right here, but it would just be nice to have everything all in the same spot or I know a lot of people that have gotten those planner folios really really Enjoy them, and that would actually be really really nice. To put you know something like this in there that you may not use that often all right, so those are all the things I have to show you today, that are my teacher, themed hall and first impressions.

I have a flip through a detail flip through of my personal file, sacks Richmond planner. I did a flip through on my Instagram, but I wasn’t too too specific of the things that is in here. How I set things up, but I’ll give you a detailed look now. So if you’d like to see what I have in my personal Richmond final facts, stay tuned, ok guys.
So the first thing I got this planner from the thrift store just found all of them on my posh I’ll. Try to leave a link to my parchment ich, but I’m last year started finding all these planners people were getting rid of planners like the beginning of the year and they were nice planners. I could tell they were nice planners, they just wasn’t for me. I wasn’t really into grains at the time and now think about it.
There were some pocket rings that I had, and I so so I was in a Thurston when they just on a whim looking for stuff to sell on my posh and came across this one. So I asked my Instagram friends like: should I sell it because I kind of knew it was worth something which I’m just drawn to expensive stuff anyway, but I knew this is worth something and most of my ex-girlfriends like no. You need to keep that.
So I’m sorry I’ll keep it so I attempted minimal planning in here. It didn’t go so well. All I did was check my orders and that’s it in the state on my desk, nothing more nothing less so this year I said I’m going to give it another. Try and I’m just going to set it up for the cheap. I don’t want to spend a lot of money with purchasing inserts from my cost and paper and other places, and I don’t use it like.
I didn’t use it last year so anyway, I purchased this on clip here from Ollie clip I’ll try to leave the link below. I love love, love, love these and again. I’d only think I paid maybe five dollars for this. It was less, I believe highly. It was less probably three – I don’t know so here on the left side, which I think is getting a little drinky. I have this paperclip because a lot of the little dots that I use I need to purchase, I mean I need to pick them up with the paperclip.
I have this little Schlag I made out of some vellum that I got from like Michaels. This little paper clip I need last year sometime. It is just something I think I downloaded off of Pinterest. I turned it into a die crack laminate it and just stuck a paper clip in there. This die cut is a die cut. I was selling at one point and a sticker, and it is just a chandelier like that, and then I just threw these in here, because I found them on my desk and they are just some little icons.
Go for you or either rose. Gold rose gold for real icons and then this is a freebie from Jessica. I don’t know Jessica Pearson, I don’t know, and then I have this little underling card. It was a pack of like journaling cards. I got out of Julian’s, I believe, and then on the inside here I was cleaning up my room and opened the box from simply gilded. I believe it was my last subscription box, and it’s just I don’t know, I think it’s a journaling card as well, probably be six or pocket-size, and then I just have some bows here from Nicki plus three.
I have some bows here that are from panda bird design I’ll try to remember to leave all the links below of everything that I got, and these are just, I think, their date separators pay separators. I forgot what you call them. You just separate like you’re on your date. They separate or I believe, and then these are some that I made. I think they were too thick. I might take those out and then I got these from Brooklyn grace coat last year, but they was so hard to get off the paper and I haven’t tore him up, and so when I ordered my inserts from her last year.
This is what I got. I’m going to retire these two, and so I’m going to put okay moving a wall. This is a piece of acetate that I cut for this planner got this from either Michaels or Joanne’s. I have some sticky notes on here. I had more, but they was just coming off so whatever, and then I made this dashboard a laminating paper and a simply gilded. Although the king in a subscription – and I just put it down in the lamination and waiting – we’ve danced for it and then this planner will have probably more colors than in my eight-five business, but this is from digital.
I love Starbucks yeah. I love it. I love coffee, and so when I saw that this was available, I was like yes, I got ta pretend something. So this is what I have here, and this is a dashboard that came with the planner it needs to be, but it came with the planner, so clear, divider and then this is a download from Pinterest that I did and then here’s another download from Pinterest that I did also I’ll try leave my Pinterest below and I have a whole Planning section on there.
Some things were saved to there. Some things are not and I’ll just leave that below and then here is some vellum. Is this like a pink or peach? It looks a little yellowish, but I just use that on the top of my class and then here on my year at a glance, I took some guts from planner Kate and just put all the important birthdays and pretty much and then, of course, my anniversary and Then like, if there’s a vacation or something I’ll, add another dot, but so far oh I do have a vacation.
I need to edit that I’ll do that later and then here we go you guys. So this is cardstock that I purchased from Walmart and I just turned them into the writers and then put all my months here and then I just throw some clear on paper. But the dates I’m feeling with the months on it and then just add them to the chance, and I really thought I was going to need to have them closer together. And then I really didn’t so.
I kind of space them out a little bit more, but nonetheless, here they are, and this is January this is my monthly view for January and that I have just a little flag here from cloths and paper, I’m just like a transparent flag and that’s just to Let me know what month I’m on and then I have this kind of color coded the black represents the bills. These are things like. Maybe I paid I’m here are my pity.
The little saying these little flag quarter, flags here corner. Excuse me transparent stickers from thoughts and paper. This is from this. Guy is from planner Kate. These are the ones that I made the black dots and just kind of color cosine. I was scrolling on and what was paid or what needs to be done or what’s going on, these coils represent my Etsy pay days, and then I just put this flag here to know what month I’m going.
I can just go right to it so I’ll move. It from month to month so these are the rest of the months and these are the dashboards and what they look like and then here’s a dashboard. I made myself out of a school plastic file from Walmart when it was school time they had. These sounds with the phone proto valves, your folder excuse me these black plastic folders and they were like 50 something cent and I think I bought like two or three.
I actually bought more. I put one in purple and I decided to cut them up and put my that was my plan for them anyway, and to put them in my micro. So I should have got more, but I did find this paper and this material excuse me as staples I’ll. Probably go back and get it, but I’m not. I think I can hold out to school time again to meetings or dashboards, and then I just have this coffee die-cut here that I’ve downloaded probably on Pinterest and a little hard paper clip here that came in to order.
And then I just stuck a little bow here from I’m simply gilded back here and then here’s a little card thing I made to stick in here and, as you can see, most of my sticking hosts came off, but it’s okay. I still have these, so I just stuck these here. Let’s see if I can show you so what I did was. I ordered College off of Amazon I’ll leave the link below they are just these clear acetate, they’re, not even acetate.
I don’t even know what this is, but they’re like business card size and I just stuck some sticky tape. Whatever sticky notes, sticky Flags on there and then stuck it in there, it’s a little tight fit. That’s why I can’t really get it out. So when I get it out and definitely need it, I also made. Let me show you guys: you’ll see that in the back, what else I’d get with them and I bought so many because I want to use some pants like when I do freebies and things just to add.
Maybe two orders or giveaways different things like that and then so over here are some more transparent Flags, some sticky Flags here and this right pocket came with this planner yeah. When I say I got the best deal ever and I’m not even going to begin to tell you what I was going to sell it for, but um this, these little sticky post-it notes. I got they’re like transparent and then they have a little bit of white on them and you’ll see later how I use them, but also I like to use them for notes, and so it came in a pack of two.
Let me see if I have the original package – and this is what the package looks like, so it comes like this so and I think they have my Walmart, but I got mine out of staples. Oh, let me show you the ones I got at a Walmart and I just like to keep them here, so I can make notes like sticky notes with these, so that goes there. This is a die cut that I printed last year that was in here. That was just sitting here and I just left it, and here are the sticky notes that I got from Walmart and you can use these to like hold the page same thing here, put it here, so that you know to get to something.
The only thing is that I didn’t like about this. Someone has suggested these where they said they took. I guess the color part off, but you can’t take that color for long and so the color part doesn’t come off, but it’s great. If you just want to put just a tiny bit of color and get to a certain section, you can flip right there, and so I love this little pocket. I actually want more, but I don’t know if I’ll be ordering from the final sex sake I’ll see.
Who else has these, and then I have a piece of vellum here from digital dash that I appointed myself from that if you’re not signed up for digital sign up for it. So here is that cardstock that I made into a dashboard – and this is basically my weekly this is – I wanted to just like – get rid of this one and keep this one. But I really like the feel of this and it’s been in here and I just decided to keep it so this is pretty much going into my weekly and then here is my weekly and another Ollie clip, and then this was last week how I planned last Week, I’m just again not a lot of stickers, just basically pen to paper and a highlighter, so I just use this to close off that week.
So now that’s like this is this week, and so I still have some more planning to do, and I just use some washi tape, my few tape to mark off the decimide day off and then for a little touch of color. I added this little sticker here from Miss applause and then this little paper clip. I had him in my shop. I was going to sell them at one point, but I decided since reason as freebies. The ones that have coming now are black and I just wanted to try the black ones, and this is too cute.
Oh, this insert came from Brooklyn grace Co. I downloaded these. That’s what I like the matter of sight when I first started. Trying to minimal plan is that I could just download and so pretty much all my inserts come from Brooklyn grease and they’re never going into my daily and daily. Basically, is me kind of doing my schedule daily task priorities, things like that, and then here is a laminating pocket that I made myself with just a lot clip to keep it close, and then my mom gave me a Michaels gift card for Christmas Michaels.
These are the little tiny dots that I made myself oh and some transparent paper. These are the no spin stickers from my shop and then I took these stickers from my happy planner. I think this is from the mini and just keep them in here. So I can get my calendar this back here this undated, and then this came from thread of cake. This is how it came and I just cut it. It came like that, and I just cut it because these only the colors that I want to use at the present time – and I want to keep in mind this planner here.
Ok, so again, this is my little laminating pocket and then it goes into my daily, and this is just where I write daily tasks. Things I need to do. I’ve only done one day is undated, which is perfect. For me. I don’t have a few. We only have a few here because I’m going to replant some of these – and I just try to stick to these when it’s just dealing things I need to do, and I have a lot going on and then I made this dashboard here from laminating and some Vinyl that I had and then I will sticker of the Louboutin purse I kind of wanted to just represent.
I wanted to kind of be like a window to the next and this pretty much what it looks like and I love it and this divider. I pointed from Pinterest and then this double sided with a lady with some leopard heels and some hands. I got asked in my Instagram when I posted this on Instagram, like how do you search for certain things on Instagram? The best thing I can tell you is put in like illustration, like the girl in the illustration, whatever you want make sure you put it in like illustration or what is the other words clipart and then one thing I’ll lead you to another.
That’s how I found so many things if I looked up girl illustration of Vogue illustration, it just led me to so many different classic things and then here’s another on dashboard that I made from that folder that black folder for Walmart. I had a little bit left over and then I cut it into a dashboard. This is my list section and then here is some more artwork. I got from Pinterest and I just printed out made into a dashboard and then that is well from Pinterest, and this is my list section so here I just have certain lists my grocery, my hair beauty products like what I need grocery like where me Etsy things That I need for that for my business and then this is my budget section again that same folder.
I had it cut on my so I cut it on my silhouette and just made into tabs and these tabs. I tried to line them up so that they all kind of go together. This one should like that, so that way they’re kind of uniform. So this is my budget section. I did these on my Silhouette as well just use some clear, sticky paper and then just go for you get and I ran it through my laser machine and then this is just a piece of leftover vellum from some envelopes.
I was making for co-worker up like this, how it is I just stuck it there to represent the dollars and it’s funny to look at cuz, it’s kind of iridescent, so it looks. Gold in some areas rose. Gold and doing looks perfectly sound like that, and then this is my budget for the month and I’m just trying to keep up on my expenses, and I had mentioned on Instagram, I’m working on my own budget inserts printables.
Just for myself for also me and my coworker are doing some things just for hairstylist, so I will keep you all up on that and then here is another dashboard that I created I’m using Pinterest artwork and that’s her and then here is a dashboard that I Made laminating paper, and then I just set those sticky notes, we’re sticking ups that I showed you guys that’s what this is, and this is my note section like this is a you know.
How like this is my note section, and then I made this note paper from camera, so I don’t have any notes and then this is my inbox section and I took that same sticky, paper and you’re able to write on it. Let me show you guys: I don’t want to waste these things, because I really love these things and I probably could do someone, but you can just lay them on there and do like little notes to yourself and I’m thinking this is the pin that I use Was this pilot, precise v7r T it writes so well on there and you can see now I wouldn’t suggest all right away, and so I didn’t see it smudges.
But if you wait a little bit, it won’t smudge and then you can just write on that and just stick them in your dashboards or you can just stick them on pages, because it’s and then I have this little peach thing here to remind me that this Is my inbox and that I got something in here that I need to get myself attention to you as I do this one here. Let me know what month I’m going and I’m going to make a little cute card for that.
I learned that from Maddie but many plans, and then I had this little dashboard and also white. I just like the colors and she hates all that good stuff, but I couldn’t one so I was going to take it out, see this rips out. We pray and then this is my little inbox I’m I want to do this on black, but I do this on camera and I just left it just as some extra paper and then I mean I can put my little sticky notes, one to your right stuff And then this is my order tracker.
So I leave that in my inbox section that lets me know to give attention to see what hasn’t came. How are you taking something to come and then I have a few of those yeah and then this is the ruler that came with the planner. This planner just came so well equipped, I mean with everything it even had a little world map. It even had the monthly inserts like this, but they just wasn’t the color, and I was looking for so I took those out and then it came with this here, this little plastic envelope that opens on the side here and I just have a drilling Carter.
On top with another printout from Pinterest, then here in the back, I have these from my shop when I had my website and they’re, just some paid amount, whatever sickness I have this clip here, I got from a printer babe at a little planner Meetup, I’m caring. So she had made something clips with that on there and I like it, because it’s just cute – and this is what I did with those clear things I showed you before I made these washes strips this one.
I had already made with the little chopping boards from the Dollar Tree, but when I got these, I just thought these were more sturdy and I’d leave. This blank went in here to cut my washi tape, so I just took some random washi tape that I had. I had this neutral tape and I thought that would go good with the static of my planner and these are the washi tapes that are using this. I just added these like last night, so y’all didn’t see this on my stories because I hadn’t been there yet.
I decided last night to kind of put those in the air and then back here I have a freebie from Miss Moss and I just leave it in there. So when I want to add a little color to the planner and edit her to mine, and then I have this pin here from Michele, absolutely love and I’m going to use this pin to write on that sticky tape and see how I keep doing it. No one is going to merge, so that is the complete flip through of my planner.
Thank you guys so much for reading. I hope you enjoy this slip through I’m in love with this planner. I just can’t believe that last year this will not last you this time, but last year, when I went to use this, I just couldn’t. I didn’t know I guess how to use it. I tried minimum planning last year and I said on my Instagram stories that I think happy planner came out was wrong. Something like that and I got sidetracked and I just never returned to her, not even like we’re putting the orders in, because that’s all that I was doing sprinting disorders in I didn’t really know.
I tried decorating her for me to like her, but I think because I started with the rings and what’s going into a TN, I just don’t want to keep going into rings, but now I’ve been in her everyday. I love it. I love it. I’ll continue to be a decorative functional planner, but I will also be a minimalist planner on my everyday things that need to get done. I don’t feel pressured to sticker my day or show you guys that I’ve decorated for the week I’ll be doing flip through periodically.
In here, so that you can see how my days of God, if you want to see more minimal planning, please let me know in the comment section because I will be happy to again – I’m new to it like. I just think personally, it’s a lot going on in here. There is not that memo, so it’s still not that minimal. But to me it is the minimum, because I don’t have to stick up my mom. I don’t have to stick her my days or my niece, like I said I put a sticker here, but it’s still minimal.
It’s just not a whole like a full box or quarter box at all that this is black and white, and that just works for me because I can play in without feeling guilty that I didn’t show you guys how I planned so again. If you want to see for throughs of my minimal planner or a more consistent basis, let me know so we’ll do like a flip through at the end of the mob or maybe like weekly will just show flip through us.
You know, however, just let me know and as I update her and change things around I’ll, definitely give you guys a flip through of that. But again, if there’s something that you’re interested in, please let me know thank you all so much for reading.

I wanted to share how I am setting up my financial stuff in my business planner. This is for 2019, so I won’t be using this anytime soon, but I wanted to show you just how I’m setting it up. So, let’s talk about the things that I may or may not use. I just kind of pulled some things out and I will leave links down below to all of the shops that I’m mentioning.
I just have this movie strip like film strip, washing that I got a long time ago, like Michaels or something I have these little calculators from coffee break planner. I also have some event stickers from coffee break. Planner I’ve got these are really cute little computer desks from Bob Bob. I can’t talk today, Peiper paper company. Sorry, I’ve done like three articles already. So that’s like I’m going a little batty at the moment and then I also have these two different size youtube buttons from Harriet Wright designs.
I am going to be using my Erin Condren planner. This is my one for 2019, like I said, and this is the deluxe monthly planner. If you guys want to see a article on how I originally set this up, I will leave it in a card up above, for you guys. It just has basically like a monthly view, and then it has some pages in between and then I elected to get a ton of notes pages. As you can see, the notes pages are about as thick as the guts of the regular planner.
So I wanted to track a bunch of things, so that was kind of the catalyst of this. So what I want to do in this article is, I want to show you how I’m setting up my like first page but here’s the issue we’re going to talk about revenue streams, really quick. So this little page marker is also from Erin Condren, I’m just going to put that off camera. At the moment my work income is very different, so I get Google Adsense, which is basically like the money you make off of views on YouTube.
That’s going to be this first page, the next page is going to be Amazon. I do have affiliate links from Amazon, there’s always links below and I always denote affiliate link. So I do get paid from Amazon. Usually, every month like you have to hit a certain threshold or whatever and now the really cool thing is. I just set up an Amazon door or like an Amazon shop. So basically you can shop all my favourite things and I have them listed like in categories.
So I put like kitchen and then like a bunch of stuff that I’ve either talked about in my kitchen, or maybe I’ve never talked about it, but I use it and I put it in there. I put like all my cleaning products I have like done just skincare makeup. Planner supplies that I absolutely love from Amazon and all that good stuff. The cool thing is, is, if you check out with the link, that’s given, so you know you just stay on the browser for that long and then you know you check out no matter what it is regardless.
If I suggested something to you or not – or maybe you just check out with the items in your cart, I actually get a small percentage of your transaction, which is awesome. Your cost doesn’t go up or anything like that. It just lets Amazon know that I sent you there. So that’s a really cool thing, so I do get an income stream from Amazon and then also share a sale. The only thing I do for share a sale right now is Erin Condren.
So there is an again a link down below, for you guys says you can buy something from Erin, Condren again same thing as Amazon, your price doesn’t go up. If you use the clickable link, it’s like a unique link that sends you there and you check out. Then again I get a small percentage of the sale and the cost of goods does not go up. Shareasale is like for bloggers and instagramers and youtubers influencers, and things like that.
So you have to meet certain requirements to do that, but I’ve been doing it for the Erin Condren for a while, and I really like it but yeah. It’s just kind of one of those fun things, but I can sign up for like other companies on ShareASale, but I just haven’t yet because I don’t know none of them have like turned my crank Etsy. I clearly own an Etsy shop. The link is below, I feel like this whole, like intros, like link, is below go check it out so yeah I have Etsy and then also I have contracts that I will sometimes do so.
I left that in there and then I have a bunch of blank pages as well so in case there’s other like streams or something like that that I need to deal with. So anyway, let’s set the first page together and then I will show you guys in the end, because it’s going to be way too much. Article footage, if I do all of them but I’ll, stop the camera and then show you what I did once it’s all over with. So let’s do the YouTube stuff.
First, I just need like what I’m here. Let’s talk a little bit more um. So what I’m going to do is I’m going to put the months here so like January through December, and then what you know, what my income was for that month and then what the running balance is as well so like how much basically I’ve made throughout the Year so it’s like you know the actual and then the total so yeah that’s kind of what the plan is.
So I really only need 12 spaces, but I think I’m going to do like every other space. Maybe I don’t often thinking thinking that might look kind of more aesthetically pleasing to my eyeballs, I’m kind of just using the line as a guide to not totally make this look crooked. You know just a little crooked, not all the way crooked, and then these are the snap-in bookmarks from Erin Condren and I love them for cutting washi because they seem to work really well for me and then on my sticker here I am going to be using A pilot ultrafine point permanent again.
This link will be a below as well, and I get these on Amazon. They come in a bunch of different colors, there’s black blue red and green. I believe so love these alright. I guess I could probably take this off of here. There we go. That’s a little bit better, all right we’re going to put the total at the end here: income Khanna right over there! Well, that’s really crooked, Emily good job! Don’t worry guys, I’m a professional! Oh! My goodness, you would think by, like you know, I’ve done this for years.
I could lay washi straight and I could do all those things not so much. Not so much. Oh well, all right just put a little calculator on the side there and then I think I think one of these big boys will fit in here. I think yeah cool, all right and I don’t know – maybe one of these will fit up here too. I just love these. I think these are so cool. I just haven’t had a real opportunity to use them yet actually hold on here’s.
What I’m going to do? I’m going to move this just a little bit over and the nice thing about coffee break planner stickers is, is their mat removable, so you can move them around and actually, like several months later, you can still do that at least on the Erin Condren paper. I’ve noticed so that’s kind of exciting, so I’m going to put this guy like right up here. I think that looks really cute, because basically, I’m like on the computer all day, which is what youtubing really is, you would think a lot of it’s.
You know the articles, the articles are the articles, but a lot of it is on the interwebs so staying connected and all of that good stuff. So my mindset for this whole thing is that I want to kind of keep this other side blank. I would use this marker, but this does bleed through a little bit, which is why I just use them on these stickers. So I am going to go in with my paper. Mate ink, joy, gel pen and again link will be below for this guy.
If you are interested, but I am going to list out all the months and make a line and another line and we’re going to just go with it all right, so I have all my months in and as I was you’re thinking about this, I was like. Oh, my gosh I really wanted to put in another category, has nothing to do with income, but I do want to put in like right here. I’m going to put it right underneath here, I’m going to put subscriber count, so I think it’s just really fun like I love reading, like my friends that are on YouTube, their subscriber counts.
You know how they change and fluctuate, and I really want to keep track of that. The reason that I like to keep track of it. Subscribers really doesn’t I mean if you want to like talk about YouTube like income, and things like that subscriber count has absolutely nothing to do with your income level on YouTube at all. So the nice thing about looking at the subscriber count is you can kind of look and see what months you’re gaining a lot or maybe losing a lot to be honest, this past, like 30 days, I think I’ve lost like over three or four hundred subscribers and I’m really not sure why I have been posting really regularly.
I’ve been doing a lot of vlogging, which everyone that comments on the vlog says that they really like the vlogs, but maybe they don’t like the vlogs. Maybe I need to do more planning articles which I’m trying to do, but it’s very weird, but sometimes YouTube will promote my blog and other times. They won’t – and I think that this summer, for whatever reason I just haven’t, been really in people’s like suggested bars, you know like when you read on YouTube.
You have like your screen and then you have like that’s suggested a lot of times. I get new subscribers because of the suggested bar like the suggestion like that long bar there. I don’t know why but whatever, but it’s just nice to see like, oh in you know, January switch something up, and I did something different. So, when February hit, I had like how many more subscribers – or maybe I didn’t, do a lot in January and my subscriber went like lower or whatever I don’t know.
It’s just very strange. Actually, what’s really funny is, like my blog grew a ton when I wasn’t doing any articles at all like last January into February. I don’t, I think I uploaded like one or two articles like it was hardly anything, and I think I like gained, I don’t know like a thousand followers, or so it was just really weird, I’m like why is it growing? I’m not doing anything. So I don’t know it was very weird, but I’m going to keep creating content for you guys, I’m not so hung up on the subscriber count, but it’s just a fun thing to track.
So anyway, I’m going to be using this Chris, a sticker sheet. I’m just going to like use this little sticker right here and just kind of put it right there and then I’m just going to put subscriber on it and if you guys are interested on the number on. This is ka D, 0, 0, 2, 3, 2 and her sheets are like a matte vinyl like a semi-gloss kind of a thing, we’re not glossy but they’re like a semi-gloss and they smell like I don’t know they smell, like pool floaties like little arm floaties.
I don’t know why or like really love that smell, but I’m going to take this little red one cuz we’re going with like the red theme. Alright, so just wrote subscriber so yeah and then I can just track that right there and you always have to wait for a second for this to completely dry. So I think it’s dry now perfect looks super cute alright, so I have got my trusty Erin Condren snappin ruler right here, so I’m going to use that close up this binder here.
This is how I store all of my Christian designs, stuff cuz. It’s an obsession! You guys it’s an obsession all right, and that is it. That is what I’m going to be doing for the rest of these pages. So I’m going to stop the camera because, like I said it’s going to be way too much article file footage. I don’t even think my memory card is that big for as long as it’s going to take me to do this, so I will see you guys in just a second when I’m all done alright.
So I am back. I am all done with my financial pages and my business planner for 2019. So I wanted to show you what I did and where I got everything. So I did change this just a little bit since we last saw each other. I did include these um they’re. Just like little money stickers, I want to say that I got this from paper loving mommy, on Etsy. If, for some reason, you can’t find any of these things on these specific shops, you can also Google or search on Etsy like money, stickers or whatever kind of sticker you’re looking for, and there are so many other wonderful shops out there too.
I just happen to have these from other shops, so anyway, I put these on all of my pages, for you guys. So here is my youtube page and then moving right along. This is my Amazon page. So I’ve got my little scallop boxes, which these are all from coffee break. Planner I’ve got my little money guy. I’ve also got this. It’s so cute. It says my transformer name is Amazon, Prime, and that is from small-town grace and then I’ve got these little shopping bags, which are from Lily Henry several years ago, and then I also have this little Amazon sticker from KB sticker Co and then obviously I’ve got.
You know it’s the same template all the way through, and then this one here I have oh, and I should say most of the washi that you see is on my shop on favorite daughters, shop on Etsy. I will leave a link down below most of it’s on there. Some of it isn’t, but you know, there’s lots of different stuff on there at the moment. This is not because this is an Erin Condren product. This is an Erin Condren washi.
They do come as a set, and this is the new pattern for this year – the woven wonder which I’m like kind of obsessed with so again. The scallop boxes are from coffee-break planner, we’ve got the money and then the little eyeglasses. Those are from a sticker sheet. From Erin Condren comm and then the little EC, I just put that on there too, and that’s a sticker from Erin Condren as well, and the little shopping bag is also from Lily Henry.
This is going to be from my Etsy page, so the washi is from my shop and then I also have the scalloped boxes, which are coffee, break planner. Sorry, this is kind of redundant, but I know a lot of people ask and then I’ve got the money. The boss sticker, those are also from small town grace and then the little bag again is from Lily Henry and then the Etsy sticker is from planner topia. And then this is the last sheet that I have and then all of the scale up boxes, as well as a little calculator, are from a coffee break.
Planner the washi is from my shop. We’ve got the money sticker again with another one of those Rea done. Mugs and that is from small town grace and then these awesome computers are from a piper a paper company, and then I do have a couple of extra sheets in the back in case, there’s other revenue streams or I decide to do something different with the business. This year, but yeah so we’ve got my contracts, Etsy ShareASale, Amazon and YouTube, so that is going to be it for me today.
Thank you guys so much for hanging out with me. If you’ve got any other questions for me feel free to post them down below and if you guys run a business or own a business. How do you guys keep track of your expenses? Clearly, I’m a paper planner person, but I know a lot of people. Do it online as well, but let me know how you do yours. I’d used to be really curious. So thanks for hanging out with me today and I’ll see you all in the next one bye guys well folks, it’s time to kick it old school
Today is the 20th I’m hoping to get this article up for you guys today I was planning on filming it yesterday, but my furnace decided to break so that was fun. I do have heat now, everything’s good. I am replacing my furnace totally. If you guys follow me on Instagram, you would have seen my stories yesterday, but I’m getting a full replacement and that’s happening this upcoming Tuesday.
I believe so. It was just really really expensive and it was very, very adulty, but my furnace was over 17 years old. So it was definitely time it actually only cost me like. I want to say a couple hundred dollars more to replace the whole thing versus fix every problem with it. So I’d much rather do that, because it comes with some warranties and guarantees, and things like that. So anyway, that was fun yesterday, but also yesterday was Doyle’s birthday, so I am going to be using some Shiba washy and I think I’m going to use this sort of like black and white one.
I pulled out some orange ones too. These are all from my shop if you’re interested, but let’s talk about the planner right away. I know a lot of you guys read these all the time, but some people are new, so I use the 7 by 9 Erin Condren life planner. I got the gold coil in the hardbound cover this year. However, I did get. It comes with like a little thing here. I did get another plastic cover too just so I could, like I don’t know, use it for other things, but anyway, and then also I got the colorful version.
I did this washy myself. I did the colourful version and yeah. So we are working on this day or this day no this week, and you know we’re going to just get going with this. I’m going to grab my little thing. This is also an Erin Condren thing. It’s a it’s a bookmark, but I use it to cut washi because it just makes my life easier and where it was, this start cool. It’s so funny. I’ve had this washi for like the longest time and I have never used it.
So I figured it would be good because it’s Doyle de or it was Doyle’s birthday yesterday on the 19th and he turned 12 years old. He is an old old man that little Doyle dog he’s kind of funny. So he had a lot of visitors yesterday, because I had a lot of appointments yesterday with people coming into the house and checking on the furnace and everything. So he actually really enjoyed his day. Oh gosh and now he’s sitting at the front door because he thinks it’s time to go out and it’s like not even 9:00 a.
M. Y’all. So I don’t. I don’t know it’s like when I’m downstairs he’s like. Oh it’s time, it’s time to go. It’s clearly not time to go. He just wants to demand things yeah. So this is such a cute little Sheba washy, it’s so much fun. Okay! So let’s put in my work and then I actually got my hair done this week too, and all that good stuff. So, let’s put in some work um I have this washi, which I think is really cute.
It’s just like little X’s like little black and white X’s. I don’t know I thought that would be kind of fun with the Sheba’s situation and I always tend to write down my work schedule a little sticky note over here, because I have a flex schedule. So I just I never know when I show up and there’s some days that I’m like. Oh, I have to go in early because I got to finish this project or whatever and then there’s some days or I’m just like yeah I’ll show up at 8:30.
It’s fine actually Thursday. I started at 8:45, but that’s because I had a doctor’s appointment and I actually worked at home instead of going into the office so yeah and then some days I work really late and you know it just kind of depends, but yeah Wednesday. It was only their fertile 2:30 because I had a hair appointment at 3:00, so yeah. I was actually able to get in to see my hair gal weight earlier than I thought I would.
I sent her a message at the beginning of January and I’m like hey. You know, let me know when you have time in your schedule and I know like she’s the owner of the salon, so she kind of books up pretty fast, but she had one random day and I’m like I’ll take it. So that worked out pretty good. All right and then Thursday add in and then Friday, 7:45 to 4:45 that’ll, just cool yay work. Alright, so let me grab my work things that I need.
I should have pulled all this out before, but I clearly didn’t so whoopsie see I’m going to use these black ones, but then I keep forgetting to use these scripted words that are like some of my favorite things to use like work. Oh here, let’s use that one here we go we’re going to use this one. Instead, cuz, you know good stuff, alright, so they pull out five of these. I just think these look so cute together and these are all from coffee break planner.
I do have a discount code down below if y’all are interested in checking out her stuff. It’s a matte removable paper and it’s one of my favorites, so just just FYI how it works so yeah. I really like the coffee break planner paper. If you like, matte paper you’re going to like this a lot – and I love that it’s removable too, because y’all know your girl screws up all the time on these plan with me.
So if I need to you know, lift something up or whatever it’s just so much easier than you know, ruining your paper so yeah alright. So there is that and then duo had a nail trim, so we’re going to put that in, but I think I’m going to look and see. I have this huge dining table here but, like I never have enough room, I am going to pull all right. I’m going to use this from Chrissy and zion’s and use up my last little foil dog.
These are doyle dogs too, but they’re like the black and tan version of doyle dogs, so cute alright, so I actually have to take Doyle because he’s so ordering I have to take him to the vet to get his nails trimmed. So we did that. I have. We had an appointment at 7:15 on Tuesday, I’m going to use these. I actually got these at Michaels like years and years ago. They probably still have them, so I’m going to put a little black paw here too, because you know he like screams of bloody murder.
When we go there, but he just he just doesn’t like it, he just doesn’t like it. So I wish I could actually trim his nails myself, but that’s not happening. It’s been twelve years. That’s still not happening. Alright, then, on Wednesday I actually just saw the Caesar the Christian design stickers for Michaels, and I have this one that says: hair appointment so duh. Why don’t I use it right and um? So I had my hair appointment at a three o’clock on Wednesday and we did three o’clock p.
M. Oh. I guess I wrote through p.M. Right there whatever, but aren’t these cool little stickers, it’s so cute. I think I’m going to use this is what, because these are so cute, I’m going to heck right, tada, alright, so that is done and then also I had a doctor’s appointment on Thursday. So, let’s use the doctor’s appointment, one as well, alright, and that was at 7:45 a.M. And we had to do some like blood draws and medical check, some things.
So that’s what that one was and then we’ll use this like little stethoscope to and then that’s why. I worked from home because I sometimes will have to go back and do another blood draw later on in the day, depending on my like lab results and stuff. So I just stay at home because my clinic is really really close to where I live, and I live pretty far away. You know from where I work all right and then we are going to use.
I think I have like a little work from home thing in here, but I got ta find it. I know I have it in here been like consistently not on purpose been consistently working from home like once a week pretty regularly. That’s not something I normally would do, but it’s just like weird circumstances have come up and I’ve had to work from home, so anyway at least I have the ability to do that. Alright, these are from plan to plan sticker CO and I’m just going to put in this little gal working from home and then after work a rant at Target.
This – and this is Mayor, bear crafts. I know I got this years and years ago, but still love it all right, and I have these cute little stickers that are actually of Doyle sticking his little tongue out at me, and I got these from Erin Condren calm. You can, like you know, customize, that we all these stickers are different or they’re all the same, so I got them all the same, so she put in Doyle’s stinky little birthday here like this and I used last week.
It was my birthday, and I used this sheet from Christian designs – is from that celebrations. Collection binder and I figured oil turns 12, so we can put in his candles for 12 tada, so cute and we’ll put in some little birthday planner Steve’s, because why not right tada and then for the fun stuff. Well, first thing: let’s do some laundry because I did laundry all day so, let’s put in some non dray here we go grab an orange one, all right, so I put in furnace down here, but I’m going to use one of these.
Let’s see it’s the two-year anniversary favorites from once more with love, and let’s see here, I think we’re going to use this ugh little person. This is cute cuz. It kind of that’s kind of how I felt so what happened was in the morning. I woke up and I was like gosh – it’s really cold in here. So what took toil and a walk and came back and looked at the thermostat and it was down to like 54 degrees – and I usually keep my house at 62 like that.
Just feels good to me and I was like what the heck is going on so turn the thermostat on turn the feminine thermostat off. I was like what is happening here. Finally, it like turned back on, but then it was just blowing air. It wasn’t hot air. It was just like you know, room temperature, air, I’m like what heck it’s happening over here. So at that point I was like I should call so I called like a 24-hour emergency place that actually happened to be the same place that my parents have used for their home and I’m, like you know I don’t know, what’s going on, can you have somebody? Come out and they’re like absolutely not a problem, so I had the first technician come out and just assess what the problem was and his name was Nathan.
So I’m going to put that in here, and he basically told me that you know the repairs like the minimum repairs would be like $ 1500 and the maximum repairs to fix everything. Then it would be like I think he said $ 2,900. If I wanted to fix the unit completely and all that stuff, but new units started at about $ 3,000, so he’s like well, you know is that something you’d be interested in. Are you really interested in just repairing, and I said you know what for the cost difference I’d rather just replace the whole unit? My unit is, you know more than 17 years old and the national average, at least in the u.
S. Is about 12 years. Is how long they last some last like 40 and some last like two but whatever so then I had a guy named Bill, come out at 2 o’clock and explained everything to me and we have set it up where I am getting a new furnace on Tuesday. So I will be working it from home on Tuesday as well. See I’m and I like, keep it going. I guess right just keep keep working from home, I’m going to use one of these well stickers.
Unfortunately, this shop is not in business anymore and hasn’t been in quite a while, and but you know what this is perfect for this day right and then I called my mom to commiserate on home ownership, so that was fun she’s like way too adults, I’m like. I know right so anyway. Today I am filming my plan with me this morning and we’ll just put it in like right about here. I will edit at some point, but I’m not totally sure, and then this morning I did a little bit more decluttering.
So I’m going to put that right up here. Actually, you know what no I feel like I feel like. It would be better if I put this inside one of these. I don’t know why I just really like the way that that looks so much better than just on its own. Do you agree? I think that’s so cute so anyway, that is my week so far. I will probably put in whatever I do tonight, but I am planning on just enjoying my relaxing day and editing this article for you guys and oh I forgot to say okay so tomorrow the 21st is when tickets go on sale for the general ticketing for go Wild it’s in Vegas this year.

I was sent this item to take a peek at and share with you guys if I liked it so yeah. So thank you to the Erin Condren team for sending this my way. So the particular focused planner that I have there’s two separate options. This one is $ 39. You can personalize it.
I believe that there is a charge for that. Possibly you can always do. I think it’s down here, if I remember right, but there’s oil options and there’s also like the blind imprint, which is like reverse and brass embossing kind of so anyways. I chose not to personalize all so you can choose your calendar options, they’re all 12-month options, and you can start it like July to June or like all the way to just like January to December.
If that makes sense, so I got mine for a January through December. This book size is a 5 by 8, there’s also a 7 by 9 and then the 7 by 9. The larger one is $ 44. So let me show you what the 5 by 8 looks like next to a life planner. This is my current life planner that I am still working in until July. It might be July by the time you see this, I’m not sure but yeah. So this is the size different for you guys it’s like all the way up there, and then this one has a like luxe cover where this I got.
Ta looks cover this past year and I really love it so yeah, it’s like the same. You know nice hard board basically, but it’s very like it’s like a leather like feeling on there and it comes with a black coil. I’ve actually never had a black coil before I don’t think I don’t think I’ve ever had a black coil anyways but yeah. This is the black coil. Clearly it is so much smaller than the life planner one, but that’s because there’s less pages so, let’s open her up – and I should say also it only comes with the black cover – doesn’t have any options with that.
So, let’s open her up, donc done! Oh so pretty still has the woven wonder on the other side – and this is the focused planner from Erin Condren and I’ve actually never seen one of these in person before by the way so like bear with me. I’ve readed other people’s articles, but I’ve never actually like had one in my hands before this is kind of exciting. Alright. So then we have 2019 2020 holidays, which is great because you know you can start your planner anytime, but it is still a 12 month planner and then we’ve got important dates to remember and then all the months and then some notes pages and then there’s like These little oh cool, there’s like little cutouts and then here is your month at a glance which is great and then there’s a little next month over here, which I am loving, that they did that in the new Erin Condren life planners as well.
If you’re interested in that I’ll put a link somewhere for you, so this is January, and then this reminds me of like one of my dad’s planners that he had, but it was like way smaller. It’s a teeny, tiny, but it had these little like lifti tabs. That were just like that, so that’s kind of cool anyway, so this is kind of like where you can put, I don’t know it looks like maybe like notes or something for the month, so on this side, there’s some little circles, which basically are I don’t know To me, they look like checkboxes, but it seems like it’d, be really easy to make this really whatever you want cuz, it’s kind of pretty simplified over here.
It just says, notes and then aligned page and then same over here. Oh, are these undated? What I’m confused? Oh okay, so like there’s, no, like weekly pages hold on okay. So sorry, I’ve never seen these before alright. So I guess that this, maybe it would be your weekly page but it’d be like a Monday through Friday or like whatever five days. You work like one. Two three four five and then like notes, I don’t know, but that’s cool like if you just want to keep track of your schedule this way.
I think that is a really cool idea and then, like week, one of the month week, you know week two week, three four and you know sometimes there’s five, that’s kind of cool. I like that. You kind of like make it whatever you want, which is nice, so I know a lot of people really like this for just like sitting on their desk. You know if you work like in a more corporate place, and you really don’t want like this on your desk.
I don’t care, but I don’t. I actually don’t bring my planner to work, but I do have lots of accoutrements on my desk, which is totally fine in my working environment, and I totally understand if it’s not in yours. But this would be like a really easy thing to like. Take with you to like a meeting or something like that. Oh I should also mention the focus. Planner collection also has just like notebooks as well so yeah, but that’s something that take a peek at on the erin condren website.
I do not have one of those, but it is, you know something to look at if you’re in stir stir yield but yeah, let’s get to the back and see if there’s anything else back here, because sometimes there is – and sometimes there is not so we got To go all the way to December here we go done all right, so you’ve got our pages for the week. Okay and the very end hold on says. Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another: isn’t that the truth, and then on the back? It has also the woven wonder luxe cover on the back as well, so yeah these are really kind of cool.
I know this was like a really quick little walkthrough article, but this is pretty plain: there’s not much to it, but I can totally see you know certain types of people wanting to use something like this either on their desk or maybe it’s a family calendar or Something like that and yeah this is, this is actually really kind of cool. So let me know down in the comments. Are you a focused planner person? Are you a life planner person or maybe you’re, like a deluxe monthly person? I mean I don’t know, but let me know down in the comments below so that is going to be it for me today on the erin condren focus planner.

However, I did do a plan with me on this spread. This is kind of more filled and now but um if you’re interested in this spread and how I kind of just set my weeks up I’ll put it.
I think it goes there um in a card up for you guys, but anyway this is August 26th through the 1st of September. So this is my first week. This was kind of a fair themed week. However, it didn’t end up going to the State Fair, as some of you know that I’ve been following along on Instagram and Facebook, I post on Instagram and then it kind of just goes to Facebook I’ll put the link below. If you guys wan na, follow me there, but I have been having some stomach issues and problems with that kind of thing.
So you know I talked to about it with my mom cuz. That’s who’s going to go with and she’s like you know what, let’s just forego the State Fair this year, cuz basically go to the State Fair and you just like eat all the fried food, because it’s like epic and delicious, but she’s like I don’t want you Getting sick there and you know all that stuff, like sounds good and as you can see, I got sick there, which was great.
I actually stayed at home. That day I mean I worked from home, but I don’t want to work from home. I want to go into the office, but there are some times where I cannot, unfortunately, so anyway, I got a stitch fix this week, which was awesome. I actually have a stitch fix like literally downstairs right now, and I think I’m going to film that tomorrow, when I get home, I haven’t even opened up the box.
Yet it was my co-workers birthday this day or actually this day, and then it was also my one-year anniversary at work. So we celebrated. We went to noodles and company, so yeah, but that’s kinda. What happened? Oh and then I visited my grandparents and my brother came over for lunch with my mom all that good stuff lots of happy mail. I got lots of happy mail from the wild collab sale, which should be up by the time.
This is up so I’ll leave a card for you guys if you want to check that out, and then this is the next week. So this is typically in my area, I’m in Minnesota, so like all of our public schools for the most part start the day after Labor Day. So that’s kind of how I grew up, and so I did this one as kind of a school themed so Labor Day I had off so did a bunch of things. As you can see, I’ve got fun, migraines and all that fun stuff in here.
I’ve also been you guys, will notice over here, I’m tracking some stuff. I am tracking tons of how many I take per night and, let’s just say the medicine that they’re giving me currently isn’t working, so I have to supplement it with tums, which also isn’t working kind of it’s just a whole. It’s like a literal pain in the stomach yeah head with migraine two days in a row, so I had my green this day, which means I didn’t really do much and then another migraine here at work which really stunk I had a doctor’s appointment.
I had to contact some stuff for my vehicle. I went to Walgreens, I swear. I go to Walgreens like all the time yeah. I also got my auto glass repair and I had like a little chip in it. So I got that repaired. I had to schedule a surgery that I’ve already had so that’ll be up here in just a moment and then planned. Let’s see did some other fun things over here. Oh, I started reading mind hunter by the way, I’m done with mind hunter um, because I already readed both seasons.
I just like can’t stop. It was so good, so so fun. If you guys have any suggestions on Netflix. Let me know, but mine hunter was amazing and I loved it. So yeah I’ve got a bunch of happy mail. Over this weekend. Did some filming I set up my new planner from work. I clean my garage I feel like I’m, like always in flux of cleaning. My garage does anybody else have that I just feel like it’s never clean enough or picked up enough.
I don’t know whatever, and then I went out to a brunch with Jodi and Ryan. Jodi is from life’s organized chaos and Ryan is from the man with the plans. I will leave their article or their blog links down below go check them out. After that I did a little retail therapy shopping. I went HomeGoods. I went to the diner location, Eden, Prairie and no load mall. I just really needed some art, so I was looking for some wall art and I did find a bunch of things.
So I know I’ve been talking about for a long time at doing an updated house tour and I’m going to do that someday. I just don’t know when anyway and then yeah I did my meal prep and, like I usually do on Sundays, and then I also made my grocery list as well, and then we get into the 9th through the 15th and as you can see, I can just Notice right up ahead, migraines yeah, I worked from home this day.
I had chest pain. My chest pain is attributed to some results that I’ll talk about in just a moment. So I did work from home. That day I did go out with some friends. We just went and grabbed some dinner got a bunch of happy mail went to dinner at my parents, house hung a bunch of art and then I cleaned the garage again like. I can’t stop cleaning the garage apparently targets. I ordered my costume for Halloween.
I know that’s like way far away, but I I’m going to be one of my co-workers for Halloween, so I was approving stuff with her to be like okay, would you buy this she’s like heck yeah like okay, perfect, just so anyways I’ll, probably end up posting A picture of it like on the 31st because we’re going to be working on the 31st and we’re going to be doing some fun things in the office that day so I’ll have somebody take a picture of me in the outfit and then Saturday, Sunday didn’t really Do too much organized some of my paperwork, which was nice to do purged, a bunch of paperwork which was awesome? I ordered a quilt online.
I actually just got the shipping notification today so to take awhile, there was a citywide garage sale so like the whole. Neighborhood was just like a flutter with things and then I just paid a bunch of bills and then we get to with a sixteenth through the 22nd. So this is where the first, I don’t know, they call it a surgery, but just cuz. They like put you under, but it’s more of like a procedure.
I had an endoscopy which basically means that they put you to sleep and they put a tube down your throat as well as a camera and see what the hell’s go going on. So what happened? Was it took a bunch of biopsies? Everything came back pretty normal or as they expected it to come back, but I also have a hiatal hernia, which that just means that there is part of my stomach. That’s creeping up into like places.
It shouldn’t. Be and pressing on my like chest, cavity wall kind of, and that’s why I feel that chest pressure and that chest pain quite frequently so, like my stomach, is going places it shouldn’t go basically, so I am in the midst of getting that fixed. I don’t have any updates of when that’s going to happen, but that is what they found out. So this was pretty whatever about normal a week. I guess and then in the morning I did work from home.
I didn’t have to go in until noon that day. So then, I just kind of wrote out on here all the things that I could do before I went in so I could have oatmeal at 6:00 a.M. Or by 6:00 a.M. I had to stop all clear liquids by 10:00 a.M. And then at 10:00 a.M. They wanted me to drink 12 to 20 ounces of Gatorade and then be done with it by 10:00, so yeah and then a hiatal hernia, that’s what they found out.
So my mom stayed over that night and then she left about noon the next day. Um you know cuz. I had to have a responsible adult with me um. I did work from home this day because I couldn’t drive for 24 hours after being put under, but we did a ticket giveaway at work and it was also national pepperoni pizza day, so they had pizza over there. So I just worked from home and then I was so tired. I took a nap so yeah and then Saturday you took another nap, but I was so tired, like the next day.
It wasn’t too bad in the morning, but man at like 24 hours afterwards. It’s just like like hit me, I don’t know um yeah and then I had a frog came in my house. That was exciting. It was really really stormy and rainy the whole weekend or likely it’s that morning and a frog decided to come and seek refuge inside of my house. So I was like oh nope you’re, going to go back outside little friends. Izumo anyway, move some boxes out to the garage for my brother.
I had another migraine. Yeah I feel like this is just like Emily’s medical history, yay, so yeah and then um you know, did a bunch of things. Added articles and brother came up to pick up. All of his stuff and then went out to dinner with my parents and brother that evening, and then we are into this week, which today is the 29th. So this week was me I mean I don’t know, there’s just so much going on, which is weird because I normally have like a very simple life, but I’ve got a lot of medical crap going on so Monday.
I actually stayed till 7 o’clock, which is why I have my nice little peanut butter, taco sticker. That says it so I was just trying to get this order out and it just took so long. I was just a pain and I but um I had to stop at Walgreens, because I had a medication change that I had to deal with and then the next day. Okay, so my brother drove to Iowa, like he actually lives in Iowa, so moved all of his stuff and then went to Iowa ID email.
My doctor, I got a flu shot and had to go to Walgreens again because they did more think it’s the whole thing. This medication wasn’t right so then they gave me a new medication. I had a migraine, unfortunately, and read this as us: oh so good you guys so that was fun and then regular work went to a meeting with some friends and my mom came over and walked the dog cuz. She was just over here and, let’s see, oh, my friend Kristin her birthday was on the 26th.
I worked from home. Actually, both of these days, I was planning on working from home this day, anyways, because I had a doctor’s appointment at 4:00 and it was just a pre-op, but we needed to talk about my hernia results and all of that stuff, so they said like hey. Can we give you a call if anything opens up in the day, and I said yeah – that’s not a problem, so I was going to plan on working from home here.
Unfortunately, again chest pain, same thing went to the grocery store later on that night, and I was reading some Netflix more migraine migraine good times, uh-huh Walgreens again and on that evening I did some laundry posted. My budget did some name tags for my upcoming high school reunion. That’s coming up, which is exciting. I did some cleaning yesterday, so I cleaned my entryway closet. My brother has had stuff in there for a year now so now that he’s moved he’s going to heat.
One to Iowa, I was able to revamp that a little bit, so I was able to clean it out declutter everything I actually decluttered a little bit in my closet too. So I have to UM like garbage bags full of stuff that I’m going to be taking a donation. Probably sometime this week I was planning on going to the grilled cheese, a festival in Minneapolis with Ryan from him with the plans. However, his plans changed and then earlier in the week we were texting and I’m like you know what I’m having so many issues with my stomach and digestion.
I just don’t think that’s a good thing and I can’t really be drinking alcohol with, like all the weird medications I’m on so and like the tickets, we hadn’t even purchased the tickets yeah, but the tickets came with like the booze and then like a tasting thing From the vendors and I was like yeah, it’s probably a better idea, just I cancel it and so he’s like. Okay, sorry, I just didn’t want to like leave you hanging, I’m like no, I think it’s best for everybody, so he actually ended up going out of town, which was great so anyway.
Today is Sunday. I paid a bunch of bills. I have oh, I still kind of have a migraine, but it’s better. Now Doyle has had diarrhea all day, which has been a very interesting. Thankfully he hasn’t messed in the house, but I don’t know what he got into, but I made him some rice and he’s on the mend, but yeah I’ve been trying to lay down and it’s just like, not working, and so I’m filming right now. But I’m going to be doing a little bit of meal prep later on and maybe about an hour or so so anyway.
That is my look at September. 4. 2019. All my spreads. I will be back next month to share October my most commonly used sticker shops. I will leave down in the links below. I hope you guys go check some of those shops out. I absolutely love all of them and if you have any questions about any specific sticker or set up or anything else like that, feel free to put those in the comments down below and I’ll try to answer.
As many of you guys as I can oh – and I should answer one more question: as for the hernia, I don’t have any answers yet so that’ll probably be more in October that I’ll have to talk about that so trying to get the surgeon and my medical Regular doctor to talk and they’re going to be doing that next week because we talked on Friday, so I’ll know more next week, so anyway, I am going to jet. Thank you guys so much for hanging out today.
I really appreciate it. If you liked the article make sure to give it a thumbs up, feel free to subscribe and I’ll see you guys in the next article Bagas well folks, it’s time to kick it old school
You guys probably don’t notice the difference, but it is pretty awesome I kind of like it. I think I’m going to film a article on it. I have now moved all of my planning supplies up into my office, which is kind of the end goal anyways some of the things I will still be filming on my dining table, which is downstairs.
It’s still a white background, see well really notice a big difference, but I’m very excited about this. It’s very cool. So anyway, let’s get started with the article today, I’m going to be sharing all of my July spreads. I haven’t done like a plan with me playing with me in a really long time, but what I have been noticing for myself is, I am getting a lot of planner piece if you will from filling in my plans daily.
So that’s really been working for me. So I’m just going to keep going with that and I’m going to be sharing every month with you guys my spreads and see what I did so my monthly is a little lackluster. Unfortunately, but I didn’t film this – I filmed my July one which I believe is already up, so I will link it wherever it goes anyway. So this is what happened in July, but let’s get to the a monthly spreads or not monthly.
I’m sorry the weekly spreads. This is the first week of July. I did more of a patriotic theme since July 4th was this day. I will link all of my like favorite shops that I used in this planner. If you guys have any questions about something like a little bit more specific, just leave them in the comments, and I will get back to y’all if you’re wondering where somethings from there is stuff in here, I will say that the shops are closed and has been Closed for many years, but I love their stickers, so I’m just going to keep using what I got you know so anyway, this week was kind of fun just had a random day off kind of in the middle of the week.
I did work on Friday. I think there was only like four no five people in my office like at all that went to work on that Friday, so it was actually kind of fun, um, so anyways, but that is this week. So just the red and blue a theme, and then we have the week of the 8th through the 14th. I did use this simply gilded, which I think is absolutely gorgeous. I am a little obsessed with simply gilded washi now and this star, Stardust, I think, is what’s called the Stardust pattern is totally my jam.
I love this one that it kind of goes from like pink to purple to blue. So I know I just thought it was really really pretty so clearly I had to have it krummy thing that happened this week is I went to the ER for chest pains so that was fun. I didn’t have any heart related issues. I was having over production of my stomach acid, which was pushing up and which felt like heart related problems. So I drove myself to the emergency room about 3:00 a.
M. That Wednesday early morning and got all the things done. Was there for several hours and then I took a sick day so anyways, but the unfortunately the pain, the tightness and the pressure did not go away. Unfortunately, so I did work from home for a little bit here and then I just needed to like try to lay down. It was very difficult to sleep during that time and then Friday. I also took a sick day because it was just it was so much pressure.
They did give me something for it, which is great, but it didn’t, you know, start to take effect until a little bit later, so it took effect kind of in this timeframe. Over here so anyway, that was what happened that week and yeah so and then I have my little pill reminders. I got these from a shop that is closed, but there’s a lot of shops that have these little little capsule pills and stuff, so yeah very korone um alright.
So this is a little bit of a hot mess, but you know there is a method to my. My hem y’all, so this week I also had a day off from my work. I actually won twins tickets and it was a day game. However, y’all know me: I ain’t really into the sports ball, so my uncle actually ended up taking them, which is great. He said he went, he had a great time. Also. Coincidentally, my brother is now a back from overseas and he came in that evening and they came over for dinner.
My was unfortunately still in the hospital he has been dealing with some kidney stones and yeah had another procedure, but then had to stay for quite a while longer so anyway. Also this week was the simply gilded pre-sale, so I made my list of all the ones that I wanted. Most of them are the Stardust pattern, which is right here, there’s some shooting star, which was awesome. There was one simple line and then the Twilight collection which are like boxes.
I wanted those as well so anyways, so that happened here and yeah. So I I don’t. I think the pre-sale actually started on like Thursday or Friday, but I I got my life together on Sunday to actually order it, but the presale is done now and as I’m filming this so Anna Marie alright. So and then this is actually this week. So this today is a Sunday ooh look at this. I can get this off the list whoo, so I have some things to film today, I’m going to be filming my Raskob cart organization and also I’m going to be doing my filming set up, which I hope you guys will enjoy and this week there was a Lot of stuff going on, I actually had to do two jobs on Monday and Tuesday, so another division of the company that I work for the person that does my job was on vacation.
So I was doing his job as well as my own anyway. So I had to do that and then on Wednesday my brother came over. He helped me hang some mirrors and then I made dinner for us and then someone on my team was out on vacation on Thursday Friday. So yeah I don’t know I mean it was. It’s a good time and my mom came over last night. We had a wonderful time. We had to chat and stuff like that, so it’s still pretty early in the day, even though it doesn’t look like it’s early in the day, because it is about to storm here in Minnesota.
Unfortunately, so I’m going to try to get all this filming done before the sky turns totally dark, but you never know, and then this evening I’m going to be doing some meal prepping and then that is it for the entire month. Here is my budget actually for August I’ve already posted it, but I’m really loving how everything is here. You know, like I, don’t know, here’s here’s my July right here but yeah and then you know moving into August.
I have some things written down already, which is great, and then you know I’m going to keep going with what I’ve been doing and filling in. I hope you guys enjoy. You know seeing what I have done after the fact you know, usually when I get home here I’ll, give you guys like a little sneaky peeky of something-something all right. So let’s do like this. Alright. So here is just a random week. So August, 26, through September 1.
What I like to do is I like to actually set up my work first and then, if I want to use something down here or like it’s, the first of them Doyle’s going to have his monthly meds. If I have any birthdays to put in paydays, I have one of my co-workers: that’s going to be in Minnesota, so like the things I know about, I want to put in, but then when I get home I usually I put my washi into like six or Seven, that’s the latest I’ll ever be in the office is in seven, but it’s only if I’m trying to really finish a project that I can’t wait till the next day or something like that.
Most of the time I leave the office between three and five thirty, like that’s just kind of a good. You know when I leave so I will end up ripping the washi where I leave the office and then I’ll kind of fill in the rust down at the bottom. Here, I’ve kind of been using that for like YouTube or filming, or anything like that like if I need to edit something or in posting something or I need to correspond with somebody about.
You know life on the internets, but um yeah, that’s kind of how it looks, and then I just keep going so not all of my weeks are filled out how majority of them are, but not all of them are filled out and I’ve just been trying to Use what I have as for like stickers and washi, and things like that, but you know I do love a good pre-sale clearly so anyway, let’s flip back to what I did this week. So let’s do use alright, but da da da all right.
So I’m going to call it out the article here. Thank you guys so much for reading, if you have any questions, feel free to put them down in the comments below. I am going to be putting all of the shops that I love to use down in the description box. Some of them are affiliate links and there are. There is one for sure that will have a discount code so make sure to check that out. It’s because you know who doesn’t like a little bit of savings right guys so anyway, I’m going to jet.
Thank you guys. So much for hanging out with me today make sure to thumbs up the article if you liked it and feel free to subscribe and I’ll see y’all in the next one bye guys well folks, it’s time to kick it old-school.
