Essentially, this is a free tool. That’s going to give us almost all of the information we need to make informed decisions about which keywords are best for our business. So really we just want to go over there and I’m going to get you orientated show you the different features, keep in mind that this tool was built for Adwords and paid search.
So there’s some features there that aren’t going to be relevant to us and i’m going to point them out right so step one to using the google keyword. Planner tool is to get access to it, and in order to do that, you have to set up. Google adwords account again, that’s free and in order to find it, you can just type in the google keyword planner into the line. Little pop up just follow the prompts and set it up.
The only thing that I would point out is be careful when you’re choosing your currency, because you can’t change it once it’s set, so don’t make the mistake like I did. I set up my AdWords account when I was abroad and it set it up kind of automatically in the in the currency that I was in and I didn’t change it, and so I had to set up a new AdWords account. If I wanted to see it in a currency that I’m more familiar with, so I just set it up again in USD – I think that’s probably the best, and you know, especially if you’re selling, to a global audience.
It’s just a good reference point to have, but perhaps if your local business, you can just have it at in the currency of your particular country. So once you sign into AdWords you’re going to see this screen and then you can just go to tools and keyword. Planner and what you’re going to be presented with here is four different options. Three of them are really relevant to us, and the one that isn’t relevant is get traffic forecasts for a list of keywords.
That’s the feature, that’s specific, to add where and people who want to advertise without words. So let’s have a look at the first one. Really we just want to get orientated here and I’m just got a bit of an overview of what everything is. So here is where you can really enter in specific keywords. What I recommend doing is maybe putting in one two three try and be specific. If you put in something very broad like cars, all you’re going to see is really competitive.
Keywords for that, so you want to try and make it a specific I’m, essentially what you think people will be typing into Google. So another way to generate ideas is to put in your home page or a specific web page or blog article that you have and that will really throw up ideas for you. You know a great way to use. This section is to put in a high ranking competitor and see what keywords: people are typing into any land on that page.
Another thing you can do is use this product category section, so this will pull keywords from Google’s database and you can narrow it down. Quite a lot just to say: consumer electronics say gps navigation, DVS, GPS devices. So that’s just an example, but it shows you how deep you can kind of go into it. If you want great so once you have filled in one or all three of these sections. What you can do, then, is move on to targeting and you can target by location and language and if you want to add just on Google or Google and search partners.
So that’s its display network, including youtube. So I mean locations. You can get quite deep into it as well. You can then do specific countries or specific regions, and then language say: if you wanted to targus and say Brazil, then you can just put in Brazil there and on Portuguese, so there’s also options to customize your search. So you, and if you want to do average monthly searches, they say above a towson searches you put in there or say below 10,000.
You can put it in there as well suggested bid again. This is something that gives an indication of how well these keywords converse. So you might want to put it a suggested bid above say one or two dollars and then competition high medium low. Let’s go into that little bit more detail, then you can come back and change those settings if you want keyword, options is well. I’ve been kind to just leave these all off, where you can maybe narrow it, then, if you’re, finding that your search is that just to to me on related keywords, great so we’ve just finished, then the orientation of the first option within the keyword planner tool.
Let’s just quickly review the two other options and we’ll be able to get through these a lot quicker. This is the option to get search volume for list of keywords, so this is really a list of keywords that you already have, and then you want to determine the actual search volumes for them. So all you need to do is choose the file upload. Their and again you’ve got some of the options there for targeting great.
So, let’s look at the final option, which is multiple keyword lists, and this is probably the one I used less frequently, but it can be great for e-commerce because it really allows you to mash up a lot of different words and get a lot of different combinations. So what I’ve done in this example here is just really put in a couple of different colors, a couple of different brands and a couple of different products that they make really well.
We want to see a spark combination of those has the highest search volume. So, let’s have a look so red Knight, sneakers as the highest monthly searches in all locations, just 390 bike shorts as well through 90 and does be moved in you can see the least popular for average. Monthly searches is well. It goes down to rape. You mahadji search cats, less than 10 searches a month. That’s what that means.
If that’s a blank like that, so great that really wraps up our introduction orientation to the keyword, planner tool, you
Through of all of my planning spreads. I haven’t really been doing like playing with Me’s anymore, just because I get home from work, and I actually filled this in daily. That just really helps me. 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.
To be honest, I’ve just been a little uninspired with my like regular planner. I just don’t like it, but you know I get in these ruts. Sometimes – and I know a lot of you do too, but today I wanted to share this planet right here, which I’ve actually really been liking, and I am going to be doing since I do back planning I’m going to be sharing my month of March.
So this is the Erin Condren, 2019 monthly planner. I believe these are called the petit planners they’re. Just like I don’t know like a bound flexible planner. Oh whoops, I already put the washi I want to use in here, but yeah, it’s just it’s a lot smaller than the regular life planner. As you can see – and I don’t know – I just really like these – and I think it’s nice because you could like throw it in your bag or put it in your like drawer at work or just even like leave it on your desk at work or whatever.
But yeah so I mean I think I did a article on this a while ago with a bunch of other things and, to be honest, I haven’t been using the other things at all, but I really like this, so this is what I did in January. You know not a ton but some stuff and then in February I really slacked but anyways in March. I haven’t done anything yet, but I have my other calendar off to the side here. So we’re going to fill some things in.
Let me see if I can kind of get this to lay a little flatter. I know we’re kind of in the beginning and then anyways all the way through. So it has the whole year and then it has like a ton and notes pages that are aligned, which is nice, and it’s got like a little flap right here. If you want to, you know, throw like an invitation in there or some paperwork that you need or whatever so anyway, let’s get to planning y’all, I haven’t pulled out any stickers.
I just pulled out some washi because there’s something that I need to put in for the washi situation, so the first thing I’m going to put in is on the same day I had two different kind of food dates with people, so I got ta find some Appropriate stickers for that you need to find myself some, like smaller event stickers. I think I have some here in my Christian designs, binder, not really sure we are going to see what I have, because these boxes are way smaller than like this, which is like you know, normally fits like an Erin Condren vertical, but I think, have some smaller Ones in here I’ve got way too much Christian design stuff in here, but I guess you can never.
You can never have enough right, guys. Okay, where does little that? Yes, maybe you don’t have any more use them up? Hmm yeah! Ah, this is what I’m looking for right here. These guys right there now, if y’all, are interested, it’s the ka D, 0, 0, 2, 3, 2. So all right, I’m going to pull this one out and use up what a can of that, and I got my pens as always alright. So the first thing was, I had lunch with my friend Heather and we just went to Panda Express we both kind of work by each other, so she actually works from home, but that week she didn’t.
So we made a lunch date, and this month I’m not going to be like really going with any specific theme at all. I have these little guys. I think this sticker company I couldn’t find a while ago. I don’t know I mean I’ll link everything down below whatever I can find so, but yeah. I got these a long time ago like when I first started planning and I still love them and then also that same evening um.
I did a little go wild thing with Jodi and Ryan and I don’t know if I’ve posted this yet by the time that this goes up. But these are like all my go: wild stickers that I have purchased for the trip, so I figured I would use. Maybe one of these some of these something like that, I don’t know and just see you see what I want to use in here – maybe able to use one of these that has like a little go wild on here.
This is from planner topia. I only have so much room to write, earn all right, I’m going to have to cut this one for sure, but we met up for some dinner that evening, which was delicious then the next day these are from my studios. I actually bought our pajamas because we talked to all about it, so I’m just going to put here by pajamas up just a little bit super cute all right and that Wednesday I also had a QC meetings.
I’m going to put that in lots of quality control at work yay. I have that and then actually at a doctor’s appointment on Thursday met with doctor lady, so much fun. Guy is so much fun, not really, but you know whatever right. I got these cute little doctor people who’s put that in and since were on the doctor theme. Because of that doctor’s appointment, I had an ultrasound everything’s, fine, I’m fine Dori! I had an ultrasound the next week, so we’re going to just put that in as well we’ll probably get questions.
No, I am not pregnant, because ultrasounds don’t necessarily mean that you’re pregnant okay, another doctor appointment sticker and do it like a dad I’ll put in another hello Doctor person, I think I said, was entirely a doctor’s appointment. It was just more of a like a tech appointment kind of a thing, but either way putting it in anyways all right. That was it for doctor stuff. I think yes, it was.
It was and then moving on to this week and I kind of jumped around sorry I was sick, so I had a migraine which really really stinks. So I chose not to work from home that day because migraine – and I didn’t want to look at a screen at all – all right and my Christian design spender. I’m going to use this. It says sick day, but there’s like a little tissue on here the suit these are like the Cindy lettering stickers, which are so cute, and I also have these once more with love headache stickers.
So I’m going to kind of put these together somehow some way I’ve never used one of these clearly. So let’s use a pink wine, and that was on this day right here. Oh I hate getting migraines you guys it just really sucks I’ll use. One of these little dudes – maybe I’ll, put it oh yeah yeah here I’ll, put it right over the little tissues because I didn’t have a cold. I had a migraine which made no fun, no fun, guys, no fun all right and then I’m Tuesday.
I had an oil change and I just found these stickers. I cut them all up, because I’ve stored my stickers in like a bajillion different ways, so these are actually from Adriana Piper, which are super cute and it’s like a whole. I don’t know if she still has the sticker sheet. Maybe she does I’m not really sure I bought these a long time ago like years ago, but it’s like a big kind of like car maintenance like auto maintenance sheet, so yeah but yeah.
I did that on the 12 and I’m just going to write that it was at 5:00 p.M. Okay, perfect and then I don’t really have anything notable for the rest of the week and then now I need some washi and this washi. I got from Michaels and it was part of the first Christian designs launch at Michaels. I know there’s like a second season right now. I don’t know if it’s a season, I’m probably calling it the wrong thing.
Sorry Kristen! If you’re reading, I’m not really sure, but there was like a you know like new stuff, which is kind of cool, I haven’t you know. To be honest, I haven’t been to a Michaels in such a long time, but I did get some of the Christian design stuff for Michaels. This is part of the washi that I had purchased and it doesn’t come on a bobbin like this. I just rolled it onto a bobbin cuz. That’s how I store my washi.
I you know, don’t prefer it in a full roll. That’s just me, and then let’s see, I should do this as well I’ll mark down what these are in just a minute, all right. So at work, my coworker that works remotely was here during this time and then I had to do some training with her remotely cuz. She was back in her home then, and she works from out of state. So we did lots of training together this week.
All right, her name is Sarah. I’m going to use one of these little cute stickers from mom. Let’s see here, plan about it. Burke there we go. These are the these. Are the tiniest desks that I have you cute cute all right, so we did that and then sadly, my cell phone, that I had it was like a Apple 7 plus. I think it was overnight that night. My alarm didn’t go off that morning, because my phone just completely like a blacked out, didn’t like you know like I couldn’t start it again.
I couldn’t do anything so anyways. I had to go get a new phone at the Apple Store, but first I like made an appointment at the Apple store and did all of that stuff. So I had to leave a work just a little bit earlier than I normally would that day. Just to take care of that, and then I ended up getting the iPhone X are ya, iPhone XR! That’s what it is like the newest phone. So anyway, I’m just going to like put XR on here and go for it looks good to me.
I don’t really need more explanation than that all right, so that what happened that day, how fun spending money I didn’t want to spend ooh, and then I need sports stuff, probably the first time. I’ve said that in a article and then Wednesday, I went to one of our sports stadiums. What is it US Bank Stadium here in the Twin Cities and the NCAA is going to be in town? At some point I don’t know my company, the company that I work for is providing some of the products to convert a football stadium into a basketball Stadium.
So anyway, I went there and got a tour of the progress and what they were doing on the 20th, and you know it’s kind of cool. It was really very, very interesting so and then Sarah and I both went so. It was kind of cool that she was in town while that was happening and then basketball, even though there was no basketball being played, there wasn’t even a court up yet ooh and then I need another. One.
Look good look at me and all my sports stuff. This month actually did a lot of sports stuff this month, cool all right, and then I had a meeting on the 21st about some HR stuff, but it actually was about something that was happening at my like building facility, so I’ll put a little baseball because it Was about a baseball themed thingamajiggy so put that there well there’s so many sports all right and then here I’m going to write in what I was doing.
I was shell training. Okay, my camera just cut off and I don’t know what the last thing that I said, but I’m going to put in here that I was Michelle training. So that’s what I wasn’t doing that day or those days I should say, did it for two days, but once Sara was here, she was like teaching me how to properly do the shelves so yeah that’s kind of cool. I also put a sign on my desk. That said, I was closed and if you needed any help to call Sara, but some people respected the sign.
Other peoples did not respect the sign, so it you know it took me. It took me a lot longer than I thought so, but that’s alright. I got the job done and yeah I’ll probably be doing more acoustical shells of it of it as soon so. My work bestie Jamie. We sit across from each other um. She is obsessed with Jonathan Venice from queer eye and she has gotten me on the jvn train so he’s actually coming into.
I don’t know it’s like not a concert, but it’s like I don’t know, he’s coming and he’s doing something. I don’t know exactly what he’s doing, but he’s going to be at the Minnesota State Theatre. This fall, but the tickets went on sale this day, so we bought tickets and we are going and we were both very very excited. So I have these cute little admit: won tickets plan about it. Jv antics to say that like she’s pumped, is like a little bit of an understatement, but I’m pretty pumped to I’m very excited.
We’re going to have fun fun, fun, all right and then on Thursday was the Minnesota Twins home opener, and that’s what I had to talk to HR about, because I was kind of like hosting it for my building, so they just needed some help with some things. So, hmm, I don’t have like a blue or a red which is, I know what I want. Let’s see what else I can find around here. Alright, here we go. There is red stickers right there yeah.
I just want to write lunch, so the company provided lunch for us this day, which was very nice of them, and then I have these from paper in clips and they’re like the Minnesota Twins logo. So just put that right there and maybe we’ll put a baseball, because I have him out why not there we go lunch, possum, okay and then on Saturday I had another go wild fun thing happen. I went over to Ryan’s house from a man with the plans and we had like a little brunch and Jodi.
Was there too, and we just kind of like discussed, go wild stuff. So it was kind of good and Ryan made this like really yummy egg bake, which was delicious and Ryan made this like super yummy, like egg bake thing, it was delicious thanks, Ryan, if you’re reading it was really really good, and then I actually just got these In the mail not too long ago, I had purchased these from Erin Condren and this is like the go wild set.
So maybe I’m going to use these hmm. What should I do? Oh that doesn’t fit. Oh you know what I could put it right here. That’s alright! I don’t have like things to do so. Maybe I want to use like some other go wild stickers that I have over here. Alright and I’m going to use this sticker right here that says: go wild Las Vegas from planner topia. Put that right! Oh gosh, look, I can’t do anything.
Okay, I got a whole new plan. Now, oh my gosh, losing it see. This is like real life of when you really, you know, mess up some things and you didn’t think about it before. So you done messed up. Mmm mmm I’m going to use a sticker now because that’s all right, though okay, so I’m just going to put this like little bit above it yeah, okay, cool all right. I like that, that’s good! For me! Oh and I forgot to put I purchased art.
I saw I bought pajamas on this day because we had like a conversation about it and then I believe that Friday yeah it was that Friday I purchased our airline tickets. You know so we could like all be in the same row or whatever. So that was good, so I’m going to use this from planner trophy, it’s just called air travel and, let’s see which color should I use. I don’t know, let’s use one of the pink ones.
That was just the first one here. Why not I’m just going to write Minneapolis to Las Vegas? Okay, I’m done now, oh, my goodness, alright, so that is it for my March monthly view in my 2019 monthly planner from the petite palana line. I hope you guys enjoyed this article, I’m going to be using this for the next month as well. So I actually have something in here already: hair appointment, 5:30 yay.
So yeah I’m going to be using this for next month and I will probably be filming a article if you guys are interested in this. I know this is kind of like a very different thing for me to share, because I really have never been in this before but yeah. Let me know if you guys are interested – and I can you know, make this a monthly thing if this is kind of what I’m going to stick to. So let me know down in the comments below, but anyway I am going to jet.
Thank you guys. So much for hanging out with me today. I really appreciate it. If you haven’t already make sure to give the article article a thumbs up. I cannot talk today and hit the red subscribe button. If you haven’t already – and I will see y’all in the next article bye guys well folks – is time to kick it old school
We’ve got a article for y’all. I have been collecting things basically, since I got back from go wild and I wanted to share a planner slash, sticker haul with y’all, hey that, like totally rhymes anyways. So there’s a lot for me to share with you, I’m hoping I can keep this a little brief, but you you right there you may want to grab a snack because things are about to get weird.
I am going to link everything I can down below. There’s a few things that I have discount codes for a few things that I have just affiliate links for all that stuff is going to be down below it’ll, be very transparent in the links, so first things. First speaking of go wild. I am now obsessed with simply gilded washi and you’re. Probably thinking Emily, you don’t seem like a bow person and you’re right.
However, I’m obsessed with a lot of other things. So this is not my full star dust collection, but these ones that have like the little metallic on the edges. I’m like obsessed with these. This is the white black and I think this one’s pool – blue, I’m just I’m obsessed. These are so unbelievably pretty and my new obsession in life, so yeah those are from simply gilded. I also have some other ones that I’ve heard just recently.
Some of these are like older from her collections um. I got this really cute like rainbow washi. I got this one here, that’s like kind of a wintery house situation, this one’s the simple line or something like that. I don’t know, and then this one is one that kind of go. I don’t know. I feel like these kind of go together a little bit, but this one has some metallic on it and it’s more of a floral pattern and then I just took these out of the packaging.
I got these the other day. This is from her pride collection. So it’s just the Stars. She has the bows two in the five millimeter but, like I said, bows aren’t my thing and then also I got the like fourth of July colors as well, both in the stars and five millimeters. So I’m like kind of obsessed with this, and I have already done a little pre-planning and these are going to be in my fourth of July, spread for sure so I’m pumped for that next up.
I have an old favorite that I have loved for years and she has some new stuff and I wanted to share this with y’all, so um coffee break planner, my friend Catherine. I do have a discount code down below. If you are interested in getting 20 % off of your order, but anyways there are these enamel pins, which I absolutely love, enamel pins right after I’m done with this article, I’m actually going to show my enamel pin collection so far in my vlog.
So if you guys want to see my vlogging series I’ll put a link, I think it goes right there a link up above and a card for you guys, but I thought these were so cute and I just thought they were really fun because they’re Katherine’s. So I needed some enamel pins, clearly um. She also has these really cute washes that are the same pattern as the pins, and I thought that this one was really really cute with like the planning and like the little bows.
I know I’m not a bow person, but you know, but it has like little planners on it super cute and then, since she is coffee break planner there are you know these here that have all the coffee cups and, like you know, the aerial view of the Coffee mug as well just thought that was really fun. You know so anyway, and then of course I got stickers because, like hello, it’s me so anyway um this is the little freebie that it came with, which is awesome, and then she does have a Facebook group which, unfortunately, like I’m not really around too often or Whatever on Monday nights at 9 p.
M. Eastern and they they do like a live preview of their new releases and they also do giveaways, so you guys want to join the Facebook group. I highly recommend it, and here are all of the stickers that I ordered this go-round, so I got some new trash cans. These are just plain old trash cans and then um. She has different colored ones as well. But I love me some gray, because you know team neutral and all I love these.
These are the little market baskets with no writing on them and then I’ve got the little houses which are so cute. I got little grills because it is grilling season and then I got some of my most favorite scallops event boxes here, and these are the brown ones. It’s like the dark brown and then I’ve got a bunch of lavender. Let’s see, I ordered a bunch of all the colors and then I’ve got several pinks and then what else do I have in here? There’s quite a few things: okay and then I have some of the script words, so this one is sick day.
I also have decluttr, which I clearly need um this one’s work from home and then I also have a couple of works because I was running low. I also have budget because I need that in my life I got two of those and then I’ve got some workout ones, so that is all the fun things I got from Catherine’s shop at coffee break planner, I’m trying to keep myself organized, but I know it’s Not going to like actually happen, alright and next up, we are going to do two different situations.
I discovered at go wild and I had heard of this shot before, but I never I don’t know why I just like never took a peruse on their website. I’m mildly obsessed to say the least. I have had these stickers for a while. So I’ve used some of them and there’s probably duplicates in here but wanton and a million has the cutest freaking stickers and I am usually not like I’m more of a functional person. But I’ve like into the functional things, but then I also like to put like if it’s taco day like a little burrito shake.
You know what I mean. I don’t know it’s just kind of fun, so anyways this is all from her website. I got a little laundry day, stuff, more laundry, all the laundry I got like a little road trip thing because I’m planning on doing a road trip. Oh this goes somewhere else hold on we’re going to get to that. We have like a little snow day. Shoveler! Oh goodness, there’s hold on hold on guys, it’s getting way too exciting.
I also have this one, which I think was a freebie and one of my orders. I know I didn’t specifically order this and then I got these, which are little shrugs and, like some bill pay stuff Mo Money mo dumplings, it says super fun and then ice cream, spaghetti and meatballs more spaghetti meatballs, because you know yummy yummy, a little bundle of Joy for, like kids and babies, some birthday things some eating out more tacos and burritos more like take out stickers.
This is like an eating healthy one. Clearly I like their food ones. This is like an out to dinner kind of a thing, and then this is like a little concert, so I just thought that these were so freakin cute and I’m, like I said, I’m obsessed and then I went to Michael’s and like they have sticker books for Coupons on in a million – and I’m like, I need all the sticker books. Actually I didn’t buy all of them.
I bought quite a few, so I’m going to just run through these really quick, but they are at your local Michaels or they might be on Michael’s online. So this one is like the more fitness II looking one. I think that these books, majority of them, are like five dollars and it’s not the same like sticker quality as what they have in their shop, but it’s real darn close, but it’s got all the same designs and kind of more of that pastel color way.
So yeah see like it has the laundry again and all that good stuff, so yeah there’s just some like really cute little things, there’s like some more kid kind of things and then these ones you know I can relate to and then let’s see and then like Crunch time must stay awake, laundry, a bunch of different things, but these are super cute, there’s 298 pieces in here and I think for around five dollars.
It’s pretty good and you can use coupons on these. I believe this one here the very front says like sticker addicts more sticker, please washy, please! So, of course I was attracted to this one. Sorry, I’m kind of doing this a little bit like sideways, but I think I think you get the drift and look at all of these. This gold foil is so nice. It’s really really cute all these little sticker things and then you’ve got like these little trackers, which is super cute and a bunch of these.
All these like happy male, which I’ve been getting a lot of happy male recently and then lots of washi, which is like one of my favorite things. And then all these washi addict, washy washy Wednesday is more sticker. Please sticker addict and then we’ve got like new releases refresh. Well, you saw my planner all this fun stuff, so yeah I got that one and then I have this one, which is like a bunch of the like dumplings like a little checklist, and then this one’s just more like functional.
I think what I want to do with some of these, at least is. I want to do like a whole spread of these like using these ones, and then there’s like some countdowns or some date covers right there and yeah they’re, just like really cute. I really like them. Okay, next one is like a money one. This says like payday, all that good stuff, which you know all that good stuff and then lots of money, stuff cuz.
You know I you guys know I like to budget – and you wouldn’t know by this article, but I do actually enjoy budgeting so yeah and there’s like things for like no spend, which is always a good thing to do like bills. Bill, do more budgeting. The kind of things very cute little icons there, and then we have this one, which is life as short, eat, dessert. First, because who doesn’t love desserts and fun fact I have never.
In my life eaten a macaroon. I think. That’s how you say it: macaroon macaron, Mak macaroon, I’m pretty sure. Anyway. Let me know in the comments open. It’s supposed to be. I’ve never eaten one before, but they look delicious it’s and then I love myself, some delicious Asian food. So I thought this would be amazing. At plus it’s got like this. One looks like a plate of bacon because yeah um we’ve got like taco taco night got pizza bubble, tea, all that good stuff, and this one’s like a little bit more like eating, healthy and like takeout, and then we’ve got a bunch of like functional things over Here and then more fun foods and then we’ve got some treat type of foods here with while the bubble te, which also I’ve never had before and then some ice cream and then a bunch of like coffee and tea, so yeh that one’s fun.
And then we had these ones that were in the same aisle, so these are like a weekly kit, so I don’t know I figured I just like flipped through these ones, real quick. These are not as much like icon II, if that’s even a word, they’re more like the strips and boxes and things like that so anyway, I hope you can see them. My viewfinder is like having difficulties today so anyway. That was this one here and I don’t know like what these are called.
I don’t have like a I mean it says, weekly sticker kit, but it doesn’t have like weekly sticker kit, like macaroons or whatever, but yeah. I thought this one was really cute with all the pastel colors, which I love, I think that’s so pretty so yeah and then all the gold foil, which a huge fan of gold and then that’s the last sheet, so yeah. And then I also got these, which are wonton and a million wah she’s from Michael’s.
I know that they have washes on their website as well, but these are the ones I decided to get and I just thought that they were really really fun. So I’ll put those off to the side, so those are all the things I got from wonton in a million and speaking of places, I didn’t know really know existed. I found this place, I think also because of go wild. I think that they had a little sampler in there.
This is from the coffee monsters, Co believe that they are on Etsy, so this is like a little sampler. I got this one’s super cute. It’s like the two-year anniversary sampler like when I find like these little iconic places I like to get like their samplers, because I don’t know, I just think they’re kind of fun but anyway. So this is the two year anniversary, sampler there’s also this one, which is the three-year anniversary.
Sampler. That’s got some really cute little people on them. I also have this one, which is like the the drinking emotes. I guess so. You got some beer, some hard liquor. You got some wine, you got some good stuff or sleepy little dudes, which is fun noodles because who doesn’t love noodles. Sorry, I’m like not in the right spot to tooth is headache and migraines. I suffer from migraines, as some of you know, so it’s good to track them tacos because, yes and target because yes and more so tired – because I am so tired – all the time and then baking emojis cuz, I’m going to maybe do some more baking soon.
You never know you never know all right. I also found nothing like there. A lot of this stuff is like brand new to me guys so anyway, this is a company called sticker oke, they are on Etsy and they have like branded stickers for places, and I just thought that they were really cute so yeah. So these are like little Dollar Tree ones. I got some that for from home goods I got these, which is that were kind of cute like little McDonald’s like sippy cup.
Oh, I already used a McDonald’s sippy cup. Clearly, let’s see I got a few of them because I figured like I don’t to pay for shipping like again like I might as well just buy a bunch. Here’s like the Taco Bell: sippy cups, here’s chick-fil-a, there’s not a chick-fil-a close to me, like super close to me, so I only got one chickens, good, alright and then I got Marshalls and then t.J.Maxx as well, because I love those places they are so good to Me also a place that has some branded things.
Is this company called paper and clips? They do have other things. Besides these branded things, as you guys know, I’m not like a huge look sports fan, but this is the logo for the Minnesota Wild. I do work at a company that has like sporting events that we like deal with. If that makes sense, it really doesn’t make sense, but anyway, so I wanted to get some Minnesota Wild things for my planner also Trader Joe’s and Walmart.
I very rarely go to Walmart, but I just thought: well: they had Walmart I might as well might as well grab it so anyway link them down below for ya, and then my friend Kayla hi Kayla. If you’re reading, we got to meet at go wild this year at a private Erin Condren party, which was awesome, she was so kind and so cool and I didn’t realize I knew she had her own YouTube blog. But I did not realize, and I feel like I’ve been living under a freaking rock, that she had her own stationery company and so blobby has become like my bestie so anyway, so I have little blobbies here.
This is one that you can actually customize your own blobby and have a whole sheet of blobbies blobbies like the little the little guy or girl or thing. I don’t know what you want to call it, but like blaaah, be at a desk because, yes and then again I got a bunch of the sampler ones. So these are like the little blobbies like the tiny blobbies. So this one says 19 d4 and then b4 and I’ve used some of them like there’s a couple like holes missing because, like I said, I’ve had these for a little while and then these are like the regular set.
So sorry, these are like the regular sized blobbies and blobby variety. This is blobby variety for just think, so these are so much fun and then we have blobby variety, one and then variety, three and then variety. Five there’s, like I said, there’s there’s holes missing because I love blobby so much and I think I have another order in with her right now, but oops whoopsie also at go wild. I have been putting off buying these for a while, and I went to the Avery like work center or, like I don’t know they had like a big display and they have these in there.
These are marks a lot permanent markers and they are so good. I’m going to link an Amazon link for you guys they are amazing. I actually tested these out and they’re fantastic. I usually use this, which is the pilot ultrafine point permanent marker, which I love, but these work just as well, if not better, and they work awesome on Christian design stickers. They work awesome on any vinyl stickers as well.
So I highly recommend them and I am going to be taking these up to my office in just a moment and I am going to be putting them where they belong. So in my p.O box I got a very, very kind note from a subscriber and her name is Alyssa. So Thank You Alyssa for thinking of me and sending me these. I thought these were too cute not to share, so I just wanted to send these or share these with you guys, so it’s from Callie, pi, stickers and I’ll leave the link down below and so there’s some like washi strips she clearly reades my articles cuz.

We’ve got some calculators like a little safe, some bags of money, some little piggy banks, more washi, strips thicker, washi strips and then she’s got these, which are really interesting. Like you know, budgeting and then like income, budgeted expenses, that’s really neat and then like an expense tracker, and then all of these are like a no spend.
Oh, that’s really cool. Like I looked through some of these but anyways I like that. This is a green, and this is like purple. Like looks like you can pick, oh this one’s like more of a pink and a blue and then a black. So you can pick your own. That’s really neat! So thank you. So much for thinking of me. I am very appreciative of all of these fun things, so thank you, so much Alisa all right next up plan to plan sticker Co, I’m kind of mildly obsessed with this company.

Even though they’re not Doyle’s on her site, they are like a Chow or something but like legit Doyle, look like this when he was a baby, so I’ve already used one of them. It’s super super cute, so yeah highly recommend and now once more with love for a long time.

I hope you all are a wonderful day and I will see y’all in the next article bye guys. Well, folks, it’s time to kick it old school
If you guys have been following me on social media or you’ve, seen my past couple of articles about this, I will leave a link in the cards as we kind of go along. This was the first planner that I got in PR and I got to pick everything out which was fabulous, but then I went to go wild, oh by the way.
This is the colorful version of the hourly layout in the gold coil July through June. Okay, so that being said, I went to go wild, which was fabulous by the way and I was invited to an Erin Condren party and there was erin condren binders out, even in just like the general admission areas, and I got to looking at the binder and I was like oh, I need that too, and the color way for this I feel like is so pretty so it was torn.
So then, on launch day, I ordered this I’ll leave the article up in a cart. If you want to look at this a little bit more in detail, so I got this and I’m like. I love this too. What am I going to do so? I thought about it for awhile and I really thought about, like my planning style, like what I like and if you guys know anything about me. I am a very like neutral person in my normal daily life, but in my planner I feel like I’m a colorful person, so I decided on the colorful.
However, I didn’t decide on this one. I was a little sneaky and ordered something else. So I got this: this is the Navy binder. I wanted to see the Navy – and this is the gray binder, which I’ll show you in a second and the colorful our Lee is inside of here. So I think that this is. This is the one guys. This is the one, so let me show you what’s inside and how I set this up so hold on. Let me move this for just a second, so this planner and this planner are going to go to some friends.
I change the cover on this because I wanted to use the cover in my binder and I’ll explain why in just a moment, so this is going to be given to a friend and then this one here I started moving into this just be like completely honest And my contacts page in here is gone because I started playing with it and I’m like oh gosh. What’s in great so yeah, the contacts page has gone in here, but I will still give this a to a planner friend that I know will absolutely love it.
I want to talk about the binder for just a quick second, this really bothers me. I feel like you have to like hold everything for it to like properly closed. If that makes sense like it doesn’t I don’t know it closes, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like if you don’t kind of like push everything to the middle of the binder clip or whatever you want to call it. It just kind of hangs out hold up. Let me let me explain it a little bit more.
So if I didn’t help it, let’s move this. It would go like this. Do you see it? I’m saying like all that’s right there, okay anyway, so this needs a little like Oh needs a little help, and then this one’s good, alright. So that was the gray one which I think is beautiful as well, but I went with the Navy. I thought I wanted to see what the Navy look like and then, if I didn’t like the Navy, I could just swap the binders, but this is the Navy.
It’s gorgeous. You guys know that I don’t really like personalization, so I didn’t do that plus. I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep this. This also has whoops the gold hardware as well, which is like my favorite, and then I put these big erin condren pockets on either side of the binder. So I’m going to be keeping these in here. That’s for coffee, brick, planner and they are like little transparent, dots and I’ll.
Show you how I use those in just a moment, but I’m going to keep those are right there and then I have another one right here and you get a packet too, and the Erin Condren website will be linked below for you guys. This is one of bookmarks and I used this to cut washi mainly, and then I took my old cover off of my coil bound planner and put it in here, and the reason I did that is because of that issue I was just talking about so I Have the back cover in here as well, so I feel like when I’m ready to close this up.
I can just easily go like this and I feel like I’m not going to tear the pages if that makes sense like if there’s something like kind of hard behind it. So that’s how I am going to use that so anyway yeah. So this is what I’m going to use. I was actually talking to a co-worker of mine recently because they wanted me to bring in my planner, because some of them have decided to become Erin Condren fans as well, so she was like wow.
This is so colorful. I’m like yeah, I know she’s like I would have just never thought that you would be a really colorful person, and I said you know the only place that I’m colorful in my life is inside of my planner and that’s kind of like what threw me over The edge of like okay, I need a colorful planner, there’s just no way around it. This is very similar from last year. I track a few different things, and all of these stickers are from coffee, brick.
Planner. There is a link down below, as well as a coupon code, if you all are interested for 20 % off, but I track my cycle, which is why I have these over here because clearly I don’t know when that’s going to be happening and then I have All my paydays and then I have work holidays in here too. If I decide to track something else, I’ll put it up here with a key and then I have a bunch of different colors.
She has a ton of different colors in these little transparent dots. So anyway, this goes from july 2019 through a December 2020, and then here I’m not sure what I’m going to do last year. I ended up doing like home projects, but I’m not sure what I want to do this year, so we’re just going to like leave it for now and let it marinate you know and then July July is clearly not here. Yet I’m still in the end of May, when I’m filming this so for July, I really don’t have anything major going on.
I did decide to open up my little package of long sticky notes and put one on every single month. So if there’s like birthdays or special events that I need to remember or something like that, I have them, you know a little place to write them down. I did put in my garbage and then I do have a hair appointment on Wednesday. That day on the 24th so anyway, that is that that’s all I know what’s going on, but I absolutely love this.
I think this is so pretty. I kind of feel like with the neutral I’d kind of get sick of it. After a while, then, I feel like for me there’s more functionality in the colorful, even though I know some people are very anti. This, like color block here, but I don’t really mind it also something I decided to do, which I hope you can see on camera. It’s so hard cuz. This like viewfinder, is like teeny, tiny small.
Over here I decided to take some Christian designs, transparent stickers and put in like paydays into the current month that it shows down here. So this is July and then I have to get paid July 5th and July 19. So it’s just something to track and then also if I want to track something else or if I know if someone’s going on, I could do that as well. But I love this little thing down in the corner.
I love that change. I think that’s so nice and then I’ve got that little guy right there and then in to auto stand. Then again I did trash and stuff, but let’s go to the back and take a little gander at what’s in there, and then we have our notes pages. Oh something I should say I did not do. Is let’s see here. I put everything in here. However, not everything so I put everything in here through January.
Sorry, I’m kind of like all over the board today. So I put all my weeks up until January in here and then once February hits then I just put in the month and then, like you know, this is the back of the month and then I pushed it into the next month. So I have all of my other pieces of paper upstairs in my office, so when these months start to happen, can put them in here. I just didn’t want the binder to be totally full.
I wanted some extra room in here and not make it like. So bulky and I do have the room to store – you know the extra pages and whatnot. So that’s what I did for February through December of 2020. So but I do have you know my months out there, so I can always jot things down anyway. Now we’re into the notes section, and so we’ve got a few things that I actually did a little bit of planning before I filmed this article because I felt like if I did this on camera, it would be like hours long and I’m just like not all About that life anyway, and of course I did it at like mmm like 10:30 last night and there’s like no lighting at that point in my home, so anyway, I decided to do something really similar like I did last year, and I actually have it sitting right Off camera here, so this is my one from the previous year and then I put in like July through June, and these are just like tasks so like 2019, 2020 monthly tracking cute little house sticker there from coffee break planner.
And then I got these from Christian designs and then this washi is actually from Christian designs, but it’s available at Michael’s, only so very fun. So these are all the things that I want to achieve in the next year or so so I just want to like you know, have the task done so for me. Obviously yours is going to be a little bit different and if you have different categories like, let me know in the comments down below, maybe need to add some.
So anyway, I have a budget donations. I tend to donate something every single month or a bag of things clean out the fridge clean out the freezer clean out the pantry. That’s done sometimes weekly, but you know it’s something that I need to do at least once a month. My air filter. I don’t need to change it every single month, but it’s nice to see when I’m doing it. I think it’s about like every three months.
My color gun service is not every month, but it’s nice to see when the last time was checking smoke detectors. My bedding and blankets, organizing my files changing out my toothbrush head clean out the car, a car oil change, face, mask I’m trying to get better at that, like the whole self care thing, I don’t know it’s just like very difficult for me and I need to Just like make the time – I don’t know if you guys struggle with that too, and I’m like one to talk like I don’t have kids and I have a very like subdued life, but still it just sometimes it’s just difficult to make the time and then no Plastic bags: that’s like a big thing that I am going to try to start well, I’m actually already starting it, but I’m going to try to not use any plastic bags in the next year.
I have so many reusable bags. Those Erin Condren ones are just amazing and I love them, and I have so many of them in my car ready to go, and you know you pop into like CVS or Walgreens or the gas station or whatever, and I’m like. Why do I have this plastic bag? I should just always have a reusable bag in my bag. So that’s what I’ve been doing. It’s been working out really well and if I’m clearly like going to the grocery store I’ll put like five or six of them in my bag and if I don’t use them all great, but I would rather over pack then under pack, because they’re so lightweight anyways.
So I’m that’s like a goal of mine and I don’t know if it’s weird but that’s like something I want to do in the next year or so so anyway. Um there is my little dot grid pages and then I haven’t filled out my contacts yet because I didn’t want to be all creepy and stuff Here. I am going to put in all of my house stuff, so the name of the heating and air company. That I view is the name of the electrician.
I’ve been using my HOA contact, my mortgage company, like any like service related thing like culligan. They come over and do service in my home and, like anything house related I’d like to keep it in here, so I think that will be good and then oh over here I put in so this is January 20 January of 21 wow, that’s weird to say Through December of 21 – and I put in all of the pay days as well with those same stickers from Christian designs, those transparent circles – and then here are the sticker sheets, which I decided to put in the back here.
I might end up taking these out because a lot of times, if you guys have seen like any of my other planner articles a lot of times. I kind of forget that they’re back here and then I don’t end up using them. But if they’re in here, which is like my little Erin Condren sticker organizer, then I know that they’re here, so I might just end up putting these in here. Eventually, these are just all loose sticker sheets from Erin Condren that I love so anyway.
They’re in here for now, like I said I might, I might move them – I don’t know so yeah and then we’ve got these ones too. These are so nice very underrated, but very nice, and then I have my back cover to the coil planner, which I love that too, and then here there is that big pocket again, so you can slip something in there. I was actually going to use this. I decided I was going to put this hold on and here’s stop talking so these little flaps kind of replaced this and I already bought it, but I think I’m going to give that to someone that is going to take one of those planners.
What I did last you, which I absolutely loved, is when I was tracking this for like my cycle and stuff, I put this in here and had this little flap here and had this inside and it worked out great, but the more I thought about it. I was like you know I kind of like more streamlined like that. So anyway, this is going to go to the friend, so this kind of replaced that, but I mean everyone, just kind of needs to do what works for them.
So anyways that’s going to be it for me today. I just wanted to share with you guys what I am planning on using for the 2019 2020 year in my Erin Condren hourly. Please please. Let me know in the comments below what you’re going to be using to organize your life for the upcoming year, even if it’s not an Erin Condren, that’s okay! Even if it’s like your cell phone, that’s alright and if y’all are interested in any Erin Condren products.
There are links down below, for you guys I will be leaving links to a Christian and also coffee break planner as well, because I used some of their stickers in here. So if you guys want to check out those websites they’re right down below, but thank you guys so much for reading. I really appreciate it if you liked the article make sure to give it a thumbs up, feel free to subscribe, and I will see y’all in the next article bye guys well, folks is time to kick it old school
I ended up purchasing a lot of things on a Black Friday Cyber Monday, and this is all planner related things, so I’ve got washi and stickers galore. This is going up a little bit later because number one I’m lazy and then number two all of the independent shops clearly have different shipping schedule times and things like that, so I’ve been kind of like collecting them as they’ve been coming through and I actually just Realized a few weeks after the last thing came in that I’m like oh, I think I have everything so anyways, let’s just get on with the haul, I will link down below all of the shops that I talked about so yeah.
So, let’s get to it. First thing I have over here is some washi, and this is from goat girl on Etsy and I’m kind of obsessed with these. Let’s see oh, we need to.

And then this one is just more of a like kind of pinkish peach colorway with the silver so anyway, that is all the stuff I got at go girl and I think it’s called a goat girl, good or something I don’t know I’ll put it down below.
Speaking of washy um, one of my favorite shops out, there is simply gilded, and these are all the fun things I got from her shop. So I got these. I believe that these ones came as a set and they’re not metallic at all. I don’t see any like metallic reflection, but these are just for like the seven seven millimeter and it’s just you know, the little dots very cute definitely will end up using it at at some point and then I also got the two the set of two.

I have been in kind of eye these two for a little while she’s had them in her shop, and I thought that they were so darn pretty it’s just kind of a like pink to white gradient with some. You know little dots on them, so I thought those are really cute and because of the sale I just wanted to pick those up.

I’ve had a lot of medical appointments and stuff, so I figured some of those medical ones would be great, you’re, going to see more medical things coming up in this hall and then next I’ve got kind of being like one of my new favorite shops is called Lulu’s daisies and company, and then I just like her script, her script just look really cool, so I have this one that says surgery day.

So yeah I mean obviously a lot of medical things. Like I said before, but um I am very excited to use some of those and then it also got some stuff from a shop called your world of color, and this was an international one. I believe so.

I’ve got this one that says it’s cold because I’m in Minnesota and it’s cold um. This one is like some medicine cabinets which I thought were really cute. This one says eat leftovers, this one again migraine. I get those a lot, unfortunately, and then this is just like a little x-ray guy, so I thought those were kinda good and next up we have my friend Rebecca from Adriana Piper.
I’ve got some of these like racing and like blue-ribbon stickers, which I thought were really cute. I got these sofas, which are kind of fun this one like these hot dogs, it’s thought they were really fun and also in the like summertime at the office. We actually do cookouts quite often, and I’m part of the like team that organizes some of that, and then I have this little strip of like wintery houses, also love her little camera icons, they’re, just so darn cute.
So I wanted to stock up on those, and then I got a couple of sheets from Lisa V creations.

So anyway, thought those are really cute from small town grace and then let me um need to in need to adjust myself all right. I got some Christian designs, but I need to like zoom out a little bit now, because my sheets of paper are bigger. All right, so I got a bunch of things from Christian designs, you’re, going to see a big theme that I just ended up getting a lot of things in different colorways, so anyways I got these work logos which I thought were really pretty.
I got them in a couple of different colors, so I got this one and then I got the like. I think I don’t know, I don’t know what things are called you guys. I’m sorry, but this is kind of more of those like Emily Lake kind of colors. This one’s, I think, like the jewel like jewel tone, and then this is the pastel color away and the bold color way they also come in a like grayscale or black color way as well yeah, and then I also got some little flags.
I already have these in the bold color way, and this is the pastel I stocked up on some laundry little hanger guys in a couple of the different colorways, and then this is some cute little happy birthdays to put in the planner. This is the pastel color way. I also got one in the fold and then I got some little house icons. I’ve been liking using these when I work from home because it’s not planned so I like using these or if I need like home services or something happening clearly, I’m like never going to run out and then also the last two things is two of these little.
Like movie boxes, I tend to use those for like when I upload certain articles on the YouTube and then last but not least, we’ve got planner topia and I have no self-control at the human being. So I went a little ham on the birthday labels because I was setting up planners at my office and you know sometimes you just get really excited. So I actually only got three sheets from planner topia, but I got these little prescription bottles in a full colorway which is going to be great for my spreads and then I think have birthday labels that are like the bright birthday labels.

Thank you guys so much for joining 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 Ashley Shelley planner or the Ashley Shelley planner. I should say I have done a article on the Ashley Shelley planner. I think it was last year if I can find that article I’ll, throw it up in a card for you guys but um they reached out because they are doing their launch, which is happening this Friday.
I believe I’m going to put this article up on Saturday. Cuz, I’m not really sure what time on Friday that this launch is happening. So you guys know me, I pre filmed the things, so, let’s open up the box and then I’ll tell you a little bit more about the planner. So mine came in this really nice white box and I like unsealed it, but I hadn’t opened it yet. So, let’s see here, I have a business card, create your best days cool.
I have a little note here and it just says Emily. Thank you. So much for checking out the 2019 Ashley Shelley planner. We can’t wait to hear what you think feel free to share your coat Emily 5 for a $ 5 off a signature 2019 planner – and it says the code expires on the 31st of December. So I will leave the information down below for you guys too. In case you didn’t write it down or you’re. You know, reading on the go or whatever so anyways comes in this nice purple, a packaging, little tissue paper, ooh, mmm, mmm, sour patch, kids, alright cool! Like that, it comes in this little bubble, wrap and then it has a little card that says create your best days and then just has like the hashtags and where you can find them on Instagram.
So let me pull this out and then we’ll talk more all right. So this comes in like a cell, oh bag thing just opened come on out, come on out there we go cool alright. So let me give you some information about the planner before I open it, so the standard price for the signature, Ashley Shelley planner – will be $ 44.95. But if you use that five dollar off coupon code it’ll put it down to 39.95 and that is good until the end of the year.
So that’s pretty awesome. It looks like last year their prices were forty, nine. Ninety five, so they have decrease the price which is kind of nice. As for scale, I have a seven by nine Erin Condren planner that I use on the regular it’s a little bit bigger or like my Erin Condren is a little bit bigger. I should say so: I have my cover. You can see the difference like you know, they’re and contouring is a little bit different there.
So the pages are just a little bit more narrow, but it’s the same same height. So, no it’s nine inches by probably six six and a half something like that, so very comparable to the you know: Erin Condren size. So anyway, when they reached out, they showed me their designs for 2019. So I picked this design and this design is called the chambray stripe so um I will show you guys mmm it’s going to be hard to see hold on.
Let’s see if I can like see it properly here we go Wow. Actually, let me put this down and then all sue me all in. I always gets funky when I try to show my screen so anyway. This is the chambray stripe. The aqua herringbone marble stripe painted floral rose gold, so the coil is rose gold and then the painted floral and the silver. So I know these have been like you know. I think these ones were last year too, or something similar to that.
So it might be like one or more of their signature looks, but I thought the chambray stripe looked kind of nice. So I figured why not go with that one and it’s kind of like more of a like a dark, denim color and it looks like it’s black like the stripes look like they’re black, they might be like a super dark indigo, I’m not sure so anyway. This comes with a silver coil, it has like a teal 2019 on it, and then it has the corners which I love.
Oh it’s kind of off camera. Sorry, it has the hard corners which I love. It has the bound in cover. So you know nice and sturdy, then you open it up ooh. This is nice, it has a little pocket, so you can put stickers or you know. If you put your bills in there, you have postcards or something like that or invitations or whatever you can put that in there all right and then whoa all right. So we’ve got a plastic pouch, it’s not movable, however, you could kind of slice it.
If you wanted to and move it around, it’s kind of up to you so and then inside of here it’s like a little sealed pocket here. Okay, it’s just the one sticker of icons, all right, I’m not going to take it out just because just one sticker! So but yeah, it’s all the Ashley Shelley colors, which is kind of nice. So it’s just got some different things on there. So yeah kind of cool all right. Let’s turn the page and then it says this planner it belongs to, and then it has the Ashley Shelley stuff and that’s from January 2019.
Third December of 2019 and it’s got a little perforated edges, I want to say they had those last year. Maybe I can’t remember, but I think they had those last year anyway. So then there’s some information from Ashley Shelley and she just gives you some planner tips, which is kind of awesome and then on this side is kind of just a nice blank page for an inspiration board, which I kind of like, because you know me, I don’t.
I mean I like structure. I just don’t like a lot of structure, so that’s kind of nice, you could, you know, like it says, write, draw and tape all of the inspiration here for your year ahead. It’s so true! So if you’ve got, you know, goals and the goal setting things like that, put it in there or use it for something totally different. So next page there is important contacts with some lines: favorite meal ideas, breakfast dinners and lunches.
I like that, that’s kind of nice. You know or things that were like a hit at your house or something like that all right next page, these are kind of reminiscent of the Erin Condren boxes, but this is a little bit more structure just because it has the months on there. So it’s a 2019 planning overview and I kind of like this – it’s kind of nice. I know a lot of people use like in the Erin Condren ones.
They have these boxes in the of the planner too, before you get into the months and a lot of people use them for basically the same thing like a monthly overview, but this would be easily enough covered up with a sticker or some washi or even just Like whiteout tape, if you wanted to use it for something else, you could just use all of these boxes for something else too. So yeah it’s still versatile with still giving you some structure if that makes sense, so the yearly overview you’ve got 2019 also 2020, which is nice.
I love to have a 2020 or like the next full calendar year in that planner. If that makes sense, because sometimes you’re scheduling, vacations or you’re kind of like grand scheme, looking at things of like okay, that one week there’s this conference in Orlando and we want to go – and it’s always the second week in September or whatever so you’re kind of, Like planning things and just kind of like general forecasting for the next year, so I always really like that.
Now it has all the 2019 holidays will not all of them, but some of them. So we’ve got that and then we get into January all right. So all the paper has been the same, except for the ones that have the tabs are very thick like, like a nice, thick cardstock. Alright. So here is the January 2019 layout. It’s actually really nice. So they’re not perfect boxes, they’re more like rectangles, and they have little lines on them they are.
Are they dotted? They kind of look like they’re like dotted a little bit very reminiscent of just like lined paper from a notebook, it’s kind of what it looks like. So it’s very faint, but if you do want to write like say you want to like write a list of something you could definitely kind of use that as a guideline which is nice. Also, I’m loving that it has last month’s monthly view, as well as the next month’s monthly view on here as well.
That’s really nice! Again with that forecasting or paydays or like whatever you’re looking forward to it’s like okay, yeah, okay, then yeah the 15th will work. But you know I’m out of town on the 22nd or you know like you, can just kind of like talk about that stuff and like see it visually. That really helps me on the left-hand side. Also, there are notes, and then there are some of those holidays that are put up at the very, very top in a very faint purple, writing as well and then into the months.
So here’s the first page in January, it says, create the life you love in January and that’s just it looks kind of more like a vision, board kind of a thing. I know that they do this. What did I just review? An inkwell press planner? I did like a first impressions on as well, so it’s different, but it’s kind of the similar idea. So like goal setting things that you could change for next month, you know all that kind of stuff, and it looks like I mean I’m just kind of reading over some of these.
It looks like these could be modifiable a little bit too or you don’t necessarily have to use this page to if it’s just like not your jam kind of cool, something different and then okay. So this is a notes page, but it’s two columns and then here’s a notes, page that is just all aligned and then we get into this alright. So we’ve got a daily planner, but it’s you know a week on two pages, so the very top.
We have a note section, your monthly word, which I believe you can put in right over here. So your your word of the month and then then it has all these like little colons. So you can put like what you’re doing at specific times to say you work at 7:00 a.M. You can just put 7:00 a.M. Work or you can put 7:00 a.M. To 3:00 p.M. Work. If you really want to do that and it’s got a bunch of lines and then a to-do list and then it says, do today and then dinner, so that’s kind of nice and then over to the right-hand side.
There are listed holidays so like the 31st is New Year’s Eve and the first is New Year’s Day and then all of them are exactly the same as the others, but let’s get into looking at some more all right here. So here is the next page and yeah everything looks exactly the same if you guys readed my what was it my ankle press planner, like my mock, horizontal, which this is actually kind of a horizontal orientation, but I could get more on board with this one, just Because it’s more of a list of times and other lines, so you really wouldn’t necessarily have to use this four times.
If you didn’t want to, you could write very easily shopping or whatever and then like put where you’re going or if there’s specific things you have to do, there’s also a to-do list. So I like that. It’s like a column kind of because my brain works in this way and it doesn’t work in this way. But I did that Mach plan with me and even my mom was laughing at me because she’s like oh Emily, that was so horrible.
I’m, like I know, she’s like, but it was really funny. I’m like well thanks, um I’ll link that up in a card, if you guys want to read me struggle doing a horizontal, but this I think you could, if you were a horizontal person or if you were a vertical person, I feel like this could work for You with this layout cuz, it is, you know, column E and that’s not even a word. What am I talking about anyway, but yeah? So this is the month and then we are now in two of February and so all the months are going to look the same, but let’s go in the back because sometimes there’s other accoutrements in the back.
You just you never know. So let’s take a peek and see okay, so we’re at an hour and alright. So now we’re into the last page of the month, which is December 30th through January 5. Alright and then we’ve got some notes: pages tada, alright, so we have little notes pages with. You know hearts on them. So let’s say one: two, three, four oops: five, six, eight, nine ten! Alright, so you get ten notes pages that are just there for you, which is kind of Awesome and then on the back.
It just has more information about Ashley Shelley and then in the back over here it’s got still the same hard like the hard board. It’s not cardboard, but it’s you know like a solid permanent cover. I can’t talk today. You guys I just like worked all day and got my oil changed just like. I can’t adult and human right now. No, but yeah. It’s like a really really nice, very, very sturdy. It’s like a nice gloss on it too, so I feel like if you spilled something even you wiped it up super super quick.
It would be alright, I mean clearly if you left something it probably wouldn’t be. The best but yeah it’s very smooth like very smooth feeling, and it’s like kind of glassy. I don’t know if you guys can see that, but it is kind of glassy and then this is what the back looks. Like still has the reinforced corners. Sorry, I’m not in the frame whoops and then has the Ashley Shelley logo on the back as well so yeah that is a sneaky sneaky little peek inside of the Ashley Shelley 2019 planner.

I got ta tell ya. I’ve been back planning for a little while now and last weekend. I just didn’t get to the plan with me, unfortunately, and there’s just no natural light when I get home just because it’s now fall time in Minnesota, so yeah but anyway it is now Sunday into October, but I’m still going to plan out this week.
So you guys can see what I did and you know read all the pretty things so anyway, we are planning for the week of Monday September 24 through Sunday, September 30 and right after I’m done filming this bad boy. I am filming the next one as well. So anyway, um I pulled out a couple of wha she’s this one I don’t know where I got from, and I believe this one I got from my shop and yeah, so I’m just going to go with it PS.
My fingers are so dry and kind of just jacked up because of the weather change. Recently, it’s been really kind of irritating and I touch paper all day at work, so it’s even more irritating because of that, so it’s just kind of kind of a bar. So my hands are kind of chapped and kind of peeli. Oh, I don’t like the way that looks so yeah. Sorry, if my hands look a little weird today, alright, there we go.
Maybe I can line it up, Wow good job Emily. Sometimes I can’t line up my washi properly, but oh whoops, if I didn’t do these plan with me, articles it’d be a lot easier if the actual paper was a little closer to my body. But then, if it was closer to my body, you guys wouldn’t actually see it on camera, not that I’m the best at putting things in the frame. Clearly, if you guys have been reading my blog for a while, sometimes I forget to do that and I’m like.
Oh great, the last 20 minutes have been out of the frame: sweet, good, youtuber, Emily all right, so that washi is down like grab my Christian designs, binder here, alright and I’m going to pull these, which are one of my favorite stickers. These are the K ad zero, two nine six four, they are like the little movie placard ones. I use these from my articles, so, let’s put in what I put up this week, alright needed to go into a second sheet here, because I am done with a full sheet.
If y’all been reading my blog for a while, you know that it makes me so excited to finish up a whole sheet of stickers, it kind of like. I know some people don’t like it, but for me it’s like really really validating that. You know I spent my money on this and it is now realized that I actually needed all of these. You know I don’t know, maybe I’m weird like that, but it makes me happy alright and then Friday I put up my October budget.
Alright, alright, I can never really remember the times that I was at work just because I’ve been staying a lot later most days, especially this week. This was the last week I had with my coworker that was training me, so I’m pretty sure I stayed a little bit later than normal, but that’s alright I’ll just kind of put in some time and go from there. So I put in my time alright – and let me dig into some of my coffee break planner stickers.
Let’s see, maybe yellow, could be a good one. I’m trying to figure out like what colors to do know. It may be pink as well. I don’t know I’m just kind of working it out today. Alright, let’s do let’s do a yellow today, that’s kind of a fun one, alright, so, let’s put in the work situation. This is like all coffee break planner stuff today. So, Oh five of these stickers ooh next week, I’m going to get all satisfied all right and then these are from Catherine’s shop as well.
These cute little desk things I’m trying to make my office space at work kind of cute. I will have a article coming up, hopefully very soon, about some of the things that I purchased for my new office at work, so I’ve got lots of really cute things. Just you know kind of make it your own you’re there all the time. So why the heck not right so anyways um yeah, that article should be coming up fairly soon.
I believe this is going to be uploaded first, though I’m not a how-to percent sure, but I’m pretty sure, but unfortunately I am not really able to take photos of my cubicle at work for security reasons, so I won’t be able to share my actual cube with You guys, but I will be able to share like some of the products and stuff that I am going to bring to my office so anyways I will hopefully have that up in the future for y’all I’m going to put in some meal things.
So, let’s see here I’ll put in Panera oops come on. Oh my gosh, this one’s like not cooperating properly. Oh there, it goes it just did not want to be friendly today, okay, Panera right here. What else did I do? I usually have like a ton of stuff at the bottom over here. Okay, I’m going to leave this one out because I’m not really sure where I’m going to put this one for like Friday night, I did a whole lot of eating out this week.
I feel like I’m kind of all over the board today, but that’s all right, we’ll get this figured out. Let’s go and order cuz this it’s like stressing me out so um. Actually, during the day, I did a email that I had to take care of. I kind of did that during like lunchy time ish, something like that. That’s just like a little follow up situation, yeah and then, after that, I ran to the peel box. Alright, typically do that on my way home, because it’s on my way home my public mailbox, which isn’t really a P o box, but my public mailbox is not really near where I live, but it’s the closest I can get so we go for it.
Alright Q box is done. Alright. I also got Amazon delivery day, which was exciting, so I did a face mask which I’m trying to get better at, but a lot of you guys have way way busier lives than I do, but for some reason it’s just one of those things in life where I’m like I just don’t have time. I clearly have time. I just don’t make the time. I think that’s part of my issue with a lot of things in life.
I think that’s a lot of our issues. To be honest, so so, let’s see Tuesday they sent my brother document. So let’s put that in edited and then this is, I don’t read a ton of television, but I do read that show here we go. This is what I want. Let’s see here there is that you know I try to put things away as I go when I’m doing this, it’s like all off camera, but I don’t. I should really get better at that.
Okay, I did the post office, which was good. I also filled orders on Wednesday as well the post office. I did the very tail end of the day. All right, I had to create an invoice that done all right and package orders. These are all the fun things I did that day. Oh, except I did move some inventory into my new office, which I’m going to be sharing to you guys. Hopefully so nish um haven’t fully completed my new office yet, but it is coming up, hopefully very soon so yeah, I’m I’m really really excited about it.
All right, I got these cute little like washi rolls all right, so I’m Thursday we did a little happy hour thing for a co-worker. That was fun. I didn’t stay very long, but it was still fun. Nonetheless, you use one of these at all guys all right. I had a meeting all right, so that is that okay Wow come on. I’ve got like way too many things going on at the moment. Well, I just searched my sticker arsenal for quite a while looking for a particular kind of sticker, and I don’t have it so we’re just going to go with this.
I was lucky enough to be a guest on the planner lifestyle podcast and I’m looking for like a podcast occur or something like headphones or something. I don’t have anything in any of the samplers that I have, but I listen to all my podcasts on my phone. So we’re going to go with this, this is going to be my little icon situation, so yeah so planner lifestyle podcast was released on Friday, a September 28th, and this was going to this was part one.
There are two parts actually they’re both up right now. So I will link them down below if y’all are interested in checking them out, but yeah, so it was really fun all right and so the rest of the evening I had ended up going to the Justin Timberlake concert, which is kind of nuts. I was not expecting to go, but my friend over at life’s organized chaos head texted me in the middle of the day and was like hey.
I know this is like a real long shot, but would you be interested in going to Justin Timberlake with me tonight and I’m like well yeah kind of like you know, so we chatted about it. A little bit turns out. One of the gals that was supposed to go couldn’t go anymore, cuz of an illness so anyways. It ended up working out pretty slick, if I don’t say so myself, so I need all the stickers alright. So first thing I did was we went to Kirby’s, which is a restaurant really close to the Excel? Was it the Excel yeah the Xcel Energy Center? So we went there? Oh my gosh.
I cannot get the sticker off and met up with Jody, and then we went to the concert, which was like an all-night situation. I did leave a little bit early. I like to leave a little early, because I had this really fun thing called anxiety in crowd. So I don’t like to stay there too late. So I skipped just the last couple of songs and it ended up being just fine with me, so anyways, but Jody had other people there with her too.
So I wasn’t like the only one or anything, but anyway I had a great time and it was really really fun so anyway, yes, Justin Timberlake. That was really good times change my air filter and I did that on Saturday, clearly winning it life change. The air filter ooh – I didn’t finish my desk, put on. Let me pull this out cuz, it’s just there all right, I’m going to used I’m trying to like use up stickers.
It’s like the main goal in life today. Alright, so my desk took quite a long time set up office. Yes, the desk situation took a long time to do, but that’s alright. Here we go it’s a cute little thing there and also I had the chair to do which the chair, I said, a lot of four-letter words. While I was putting that chair together. I’ll just put it that way, but um there was nothing actually like wrong with the chair once it was together, but the holes were not drilled properly, unfortunately, so that was kind of a pain in the butt and then for the rest of the day.
I really just was in the office um and then on Sunday. I did all the article edits, so I edited basically all day yeah, let’s be real. I didn’t start really editing until like then, and to be honest, I don’t know what else I did that day. It says air filter here, but I know I did it on Saturday, but I don’t know these are all the things I edited. Maybe I’ll write it in make it look more exciting than it really was okay, so that is it for this week.

As you see, I have a big old erin condren box in front of me. We are going to be doing a first impressions on some of the things that are inside here, so I’m very excited to get started shout out to the Erin Condren team for sending me all the goodies that are inside of here today. We’re going to be talking mainly about the Erin Condren academic planner.
Things have changed a sense last year and I actually did a review and first impressions on the one last year. I believe it was, and I will link that up in a card for you guys, but let’s get this big box out of the way and then we’ll move on from there. This was in the bottom of the box. I don’t know what this is for, but oh you know what I do know what this is for we’re going to just leave that right there so anyways.
First things: first, when you get your lovely box from Erin Condren, they always have a little postcard. That has a really nice quote on it, and it says whatever you are be a good one and then my favorite thing is these little guys. They are really nice gift label tags or just anything tags it always says enjoy they usually are these like scalloped adhesive stickers? Well, clearly, stickers are adhesive Emily, oh man, it says to and from I’ve used these before, for giving away like candy or baked goods to like co-workers, our neighbors or friends, or something like that and just put it on like a little cell, Oh bag.
I love these. I think these are awesome and that it comes wrapped in a navy tissue paper and has the signature Erin Condren enjoy on the side here. So let’s open this guy up – and I don’t really talk about this too often but like I got ta say I love their packaging just because I have rarely gotten anything – that’s been damaged if you guys are interested in my Erin Condren playlist I’ll link it up In a card and down below for you guys very rarely do I get anything that’s actually damaged because they have such nice like packing on their stuff.
So anyway, this is all the good stuff. So let me take all this like packaging away and then we’ll talk about it. Alright, so I want to talk about everything at one by one and then we’ll get to the planner at the very end. These are the designer note card set they’re fifty aligned, three by five and note cards with a binder ring, which is this bad boy right here, and I did see some people on the interwebs talk about these and I thought these are just really unique and neat.
So it has the woven, wonder pattern, and this is one of those like erasable things like you, can use one of those markers on here and then on. The backside, there’s also like aligned, but it’s like a laminated one. So that’s really cool and then there’s also a back as well, and then you’ve got all your note cards and they all have the hole punch in them, which is pretty unique and neat. And I really really like that, and then you can just put this all together.
If I can do it right there we go. I need a little strength in the morning. I haven’t had my like caffeination yet and there you go, that’s what it looks like. So you can take notes if you’re doing a speech or, if you’re just you know wanting to take notes on a certain topic or subject or something. But you know I feel like this would be good, even if you aren’t a student and next off. I got these.
I have been hearing lots of things about them. I wanted to see them in person they’re the 12-page flags. They are all different colors and they have a little asterisk on them. I kind of was in the same boat of everyone else, where I really hoped that these would be like several of them and one like they’re, very, very, like I don’t know thick, isn’t the right thick is the right word, but they’re very glossy they’re, like a Permanent adhesive, I really wish that these were like the removable adhesive ones that, like you, know, 3m makes and stuff, because I think that would be amazing because I use those all the time.
But I mean these are really cool, just because I love the Erin Condren little asterisks as well as I love their colorway. So I’m not sure what I’m going to be using these for, but I think I will have some sort of project that will come up and well. I will use these, but again, I wanted to see them in person, and I just thought that I could use them in some way in all my planning systems. Next up is this snap-in dashboard.
That also has the woven, wonder, pattern on it and it has in foiled top priorities and then like a little checklist and then I have and then a little checklist down here and then let me open this up because there’s always fun things on the back, usually And then, let’s see yeah on the back side, it’s got Monday through Sunday, so you could put in like a meal plan or two dues or anything like that.
Also with that woven wonder pattern, which is like one of my favorite things now and of course no Erin Condren box would be it complete without sticky note, so I thought that this would be great to put in this box just because I always am running low On these sticky notes, for whatever reason I got to say, I’ve had a lot of questions on my Instagram and on my facebook as to the adhesiveness of some of the ones in the years past.
I hear you, but these ones, the new ones, the woven wonder and the teacher ones that I have sitting over here right now. These are not part of this haul, but I do have them sitting over here. These have a great adhesive stickiness to them. They don’t leave a film on your page, at least what I have noticed with the ones that I’ve gotten, but they don’t like curl up as much these ones, the new ones.
So I think that they improved some of their adhesives. I’m very very excited about that. So I just keep buying the same patterns like over and over and over and over, but I just absolutely love this pattern anyway, and I really like all of the different sizes and shapes of these notes. Next up is this designer sticker book. I know if you guys have been reading me for a little while you have seen this in a couple of months back, but I did decide to get a new one.
It’s got lots of different stickers sheets and it’s got like transparent stickers and just like regular stickers too, which I absolutely love. But this is the new sticker book for this year. The 2018-2019 season, so I’m very, very excited about this and link will be below to all the products that I’m talking about. And lastly, let’s talk about this little bundle set before we get into the planner.
This was, I think it was like called, maybe like the writing, utensil bundle. Actually, let me look it up, because you know I’m not good at things sometimes. Ah, here it is it’s the writing, essentials bundle and, as of me filming this, this is on sale for $ 25. You do get a little bit of a discount when you buy some of the bundles. So if you actually search like erin condren and like the sale tab, there’s a bunch of different bundles available.
Alright, so here are all the things that are in writing essentials bundle. This is what I was kind of talking about. These wet erase markers you could put on here and then, when they dry down, they don’t come off, but then you can just take like a little baby, wipe or actually just throw it under water and it’ll all come off with pretty good ease. But I love these things and these are the fine tip ones they do also have like thicker tipped ones.
I believe I’m not sure if they’re still in their website, but I know they’ve had them in years past these. As you know, I absolutely love the dual tip markers, I’m a fan of all of them, but I thought hey. Why not get some of these as well, I’m always looking for a black or a blue. You know what I mean. We’re always looking for that. Also this pencil set – I have never had this particular pencil set before, but it has lots of different things in here.
I think I’ve gotten some pencils in years past from like some of the seasonal surprise boxes, but I don’t think I’ve ever had these particular ones. So it’s got some of the mid-century circles. Oh they already come sharpened, for you that’s kind of cool, so it’s got two mid-century circles, one’s a watercolor and then it has some of the metallic dots. So the pink one has rose gold. The teal one has gold and this purple one has silver and then like up at the top next to their eraser.
It has like the same kind of metallic that it coordinates with so very cool and they’re, just six of them, which I live and then really the reason I wanted this is. I wanted these highlighters. I’ve never had highlighters from Erin Condren before, and I thought you know what I think it’s time to finally do this. I know they’ve had them on there like website for ever, but I’ve just never used them.
I think you know it was just. It was time guys it was finally time to do it, so let’s try it with some Erin Condren paper. I just have this sitting here. This is not part of the hall, but oh that writes nicely. They like feel they feel nice in your hand too. I was kind of worried that they’d be like a little too bulky. You know some highlighters are just like a little too thick, but these feels really nice yeah yep.
I like those those are nice. Oh, I almost forgot to mention these. These are the colorful monthly adhesive tabs. I did get these separately, but they do have like a rose gold like January February March April May June July. You know all that good stuff, because the planner that I received is not tabbed. So I thought that this would be something that I could put on the planner all right. So here is the planner.
It also comes with these colorful date, dots from Erin Condren. This is an undated planner, so they do include this typically with your purchase. I believe that this always comes with it. Don’t quote me on it, but I’m pretty sure it does the undated Nastase it flexible. So you can start and stop your planner at any time. So big changes for this year, if you guys readed my other article, that I linked up in a card earlier, you would have noticed that the other one was bound and what that means is.
It was like a not a hardbound, but it was like a soft bound. It did not have the coil, so it was a little bit different and it also was not as thick, which I am very excited to see. What’s in the guts, so it comes with a coil which is fabulous. These are 7 by 9. They fit the regular 7 by 9 covers. I chose the woven wonder pattern in the white background. I didn’t do any personalization, because I wasn’t a how-to percent sure what I was going to do with this or if I was going to gift this to somebody I wasn’t a hundred percent sure.
So I thought you know what I’m totally down with the woven Wonder. So let’s get the white one, because I love the way that this looks also to let you know that these planners start at $ 35. There is some other detailed customization that you can do, that is additional, but these are $ 35 and when you open this up on the back side is also an opportunity for the wet erase markers to kind of put in a list or something like that.
And then, on the right hand, side it says academic planner, your name school and year, and this is a 12 month planner. I believe that the previous ones that they had were only six months. If I remember right but yeah, I think this looks really nice and the paper quality is the same as the red planners so who have a regular planner. It’s that same mohawk paper that they released last season. So like 2017 2018.
And then, when you open it up, you get right into stuff, so the first page here is projects and exams. Your description, your class, the details, the deadlines, important dates and then there’s like a little check for complete, and that is very satisfying. I think so. There’s three on each page and let’s see there’s a bunch of pages in here all right, so there’s a whole bunch of these. So if you’ve got projects and exams and things you need to study for there’s a bunch of pages and then on this page here.
On the left hand, side is just a nice blank notes, pages and or notes pages. This notes page and then on the right-hand side says what you seek is seeking you and then you get into your first month. This is where your colorful date dots come into. Play so you can write up here what month it is and then also put in your date thoughts. Also, if you don’t like the date dots, you can also just write it in too it’s just kind of up to you and then once you decide what month, this will be so say it’s really an academic year for you and you want to maybe start it In August or September, depending on when your school starts, you could grab one of these little adhesive monthly tabs and put in the coordinating tab on this page.
So then, you knew kind of you know what was going on. So this is very very similar to the Erin Condren life planner, as well as the Erin Condren deluxe monthly planner. However, the only real difference is that at the bottom here there is no coordinating month before the next month because it’s undated, so let’s flip through and see okay perfect. So this is the week of and then you can write whatever you want and then Monday through Friday, in full box form and it has Monday.
And then you know like a smaller box, a bigger box and then to do checklist. And then Saturday and Sunday is a little bit smaller because they all fit on one line down here. That makes sense, so you’ve got one two three four five weeks and then you’ve got two notes: pages that are in the lined and then two more and another one so yeah and then you’re into the next month. So every month it looks like is like that.
So, let’s get into when things change, let’s see, let’s see, alright, I’m almost at the back of the planner. Let’s see, I don’t know if there’s anything extra back here, I don’t think there is. That’s alright, though, cool alright, so I’m at the very back of the planner now after the twelve months and then on the back side over here, it says, arriving at one goal is the start of another and it has some info about Erin Condren.
Oh, this is really cool, so it’s got one sticker sheet back here and it says exam midterm test quiz read paper: do study group study no class and vacation. Then it has some other blank event stickers as well for you and then after this is another one of those covers on the inside. You could use those wet erase markers as well and then on the back. Is my nice little woven wonder pattern so that is a peek inside of the new academic planner for 2018 2019.
It again is undated with no tabs, but I kind of like that idea just because it gives you a lot more flexibility to start and stop your planner whenever you’d like, and I just think this is a really great idea for students out there or anyone that Really likes this particular set up, it could be good for and then also if somebody wants to use this for work, I mean it’s got. You know the week of and then some kind of tasking things and then to do is.
I think this would be great for work as well. I mentioned that in my teacher lesson, planner review – that’s a bigger planner than this – it’s like literally bigger, but that one was a great setup for that as well. But you know this would be wonderful for work projects or work things, and things like that that you want to keep track of as well, if you’re not into any of the Erin Condren life planner layout options, and it’s got lots of notes pages.
So if you have meetings or conferences or things like that, you could take notes – and you know do all that stuff, but yeah I mean. I just think this is a really really neat planner, I’m so glad that they put 12 months in there now rather than six months. But what do you guys think of the planner? I would love to know in the comment down below, but that is going to be it for me today. I thank you guys so much for hanging out with me if you’re interested in anything from Erin Condren, the links are down below for y’all.
