New 2019-2020 Erin Condren Planners

Erin Condren website

If you have been following me for any length of time on my blog or social media, you know that I am a planer girl and have been using Erin Condren products for YEARS! I got my first Erin Condren Life Planner in 2015 and I used a horizontal layout. I currently used a Vertical planner. I did not get a sneak peek of the new planners but I saw all my favorite planner YouTubers made videos and wanted to make an easy-to-access list for you to watch them all:

Gift Guide

Erin Condren is know for its Life Planners but they have many more products and gift options now. I have combed through their website to bring you my top picks for the 2018 Holiday season!

1) Erin Condren Life Planner $55.00

This wouldn't be an Erin Condren gift guide without including the ultimate gift - the Erin Condren Life Planner. The Life Planner comes in three different layouts: Vertical, Horizontal, or Hourly. It also comes in two color schemes: Neutral and Colorful. You can also choose from a variety of interchangeable covers. This perfect to get the planner lover in your life or a great way to introduce someone to the Erin Condren brand!

The planny pack can hold all of your favorite planner accessories and must haves while traveling on the go! Is has a strap that slip over the cover of your Life Planner, it's like a fanny pack for your planner!

This is also a new addition to Erin Condren. This would be perfect your somebody who works in an office setting , whether a home office or a more traditional away from home job, you can plan out tasks from Monday to Sunday. It is also undated, so you don't have to use this every week!

5) Designer T-Shirt $26

These t-shirts come in multiple colors and size and I think they would make a great gift for the planner lover in your life! They have a very simple design featuring the signature designer asterisk.

6) Notepad Set - $15

You can never have too many spare notepads and these come in so many different patterns. They can also be personalized so I think these are great addition to any gift! 

7) Sherpa Throw - $55

I mentioned these in my 2017 Gift Guide and I think they are still an excellent gift option. They are a little bit more on the pricey side and also come in two different size options. They have many more options this year, including the option to personalize, like many other Erin Condren products. Everyone love a soft, cozy blanket int he cold winter months, so these are perfect for anybody on your shopping list!

Recent Amazon Purchases + Favorites

Soooo...I am addicted to Amazon Prime! Free two-day shipping is life! For today's post, I thought it would be fun to show you some of my recent amazon purchases and favorites! I will also mention I have been using Amazon rentals for my textbooks and it is such a great service! Let me know if you want a separate post about it, otherwise here are some of my most recent Amazon purchases!  *This post is not sponsored by Amazon.

1) Hand Blender - I got this because I am going to be drinking a meal replacement shake everyday, so I figured this would be way easier to use everyday than our traditional blender.

2) Cat Tunnel  - We have a smaller cat tunnel that ours cats have basically destroyed so we bought a new one. This one has two cubes with a connecting tunnel and they love it!

3) Slice Precision Cutter - This little crafting tool is amazing! I got this for cutting planner stickers and washi tape! It is a MUST HAVE if you are into decorative planning!

4) Stackable clear organizer - Although this is meant to be used for storing your sunglasses, I got this to store all my washi tape and it's fantastic! It is the perfect size for holding all of your washi tape while nicely displaying them for you to see on your desk! It keeps your washi nice and organized so you know what you have!

5) Foot and Pedicure Spa - We ordered this because my husband hd a nasty toe infection over the summer, so he could soak his toe with epsom salt. It has low vibration and it nice for soaking your feet and getting them ready for an at-home pedicure. The drawback, is that it doesn't really keep the water very warm.

That’s it for today! Let me know if you want me to do one at the end of every few months!  xx

ERIN CONDREN ON THE GO FOLIO REVIEW & FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Yes, you guessed it right. Erin Condren finally has released their own version of a Travelers Notebook! Introducing, the new On The Go Folio!

There are two different color options: Charcoal and Champagne! They made out of a faux leather material and come embossed in the upper right corner with the signature Erin Condren symbol. The folio also came packaged in a very nice dust bag for when you are not using the folio

Each folio has four elastic strands. The folio is pretty floppy when there are no notebooks inside it. Oh the possibilities! 

Each folio fits four notebooks. Here, I have the brand new daily planner notebooks but it will also fit the Petite Notebooks!

I am really interested to see if Erin Condren comes out with even more layouts and notebooks for the On The Go Folios!

The is an example of two days on two pages in the Daily Planner! I have already seen some people using them, just whiting out the months!

Each notebook also has a pocket in the very back with a sheet of stickers! 

Here is a size comparison to a B6 Travelers Notebook from Oh, Hello Stationery Co!

As you can see, the Daily Planner notebooks are wider and taller than the B6 TN. 

What a perfect time for Erin Condren to jump into the TN world, right before the upcoming holiday season! The Folios do not come with pen loops or extra pockets. They are nicely priced at $20 dollars, so they are a perfect gift for the planner in your life! A set of four daily planners will cost $40 dollars, which averages $10 dollars per notebook! I would to see some more colorful designs and additional layouts to the notebooks!

I am looking forward to getting my On The Go Folio setup and diving into the world of daily planning!

January 2018 Favorites

January has got to be the best month for favorites because you get to play with all your new goodies from Christmas, so I have a have a few new things to share with you!

Let's start with my Clarisonic Mia2! My mom got me this for Christmas and I don't know how I ever went without this! I have been using in everyday to take off my makeup after work! Ym skin is so smooth and it looks so good! 

I have FINALLY found products that work for my thick, curly, frizzy hair! I signed up as a Monat market partner in January and these hair care products have been a life saver! I have noticed a huge improvement in frizz control and tangles since using these products! 

My new Shark Steam Mop was also a Christmas gift for my mom and this is fantastic for cleaning the hardwood floors in our house! Something I have wanted for a few years and very thankful for it!

Everyone in the planner world has this Raskog cart from Ikea and I can see why they do! 

I have been using it to store my stickers and planners! I will be filming a tour soon for my Youtube Channel! 

My sister made me these coasters for a Christmas gift and they are so cool! She actually sells them Etsy, so you should check out her shop and tell her I sent you!

Of course, my final favorite is my newly remodeled bathroom!

So that just about covers my favorites for the month of January! What were your favorites?

Planner Review | Ashley Shelly Planner 2018

I am back today with a planner review! I love talking about planners and today I will be sharing with you the new Ashley Shelly 2018 planner!

The Ashley Shelly 2018 Planner features a hard, glossy cover size 7.25" by 9.25" including binding. I decided to order the Black and White stripe cover because I thought it was super professional while also being very elegant. The planner is also available in four other cover designs. The binding and metal corner cover protectors are in a silver finish. 

 When you open the front cover, you will find a small front pocket that will fit the Budget Notebook or Notebook bestie. You can also store receipts or other small documents in this space. To the right, there is a clear zip pouch that you can use to store your planner stickers. One sheet of stickers is included with purchase.

Inspiration Board

Important Contacts & Favorite Meal Ideas

Yearly Overview & 2018 Holidays

There are several pre-printed pages in the front of the planner before the calendar and weekly inserts to help with goal setting include an inspiration board, important contacts page, meal ideas, 2018 planning overview, 2018 & 2019 yearly overview, 2018 Holiday lists and some extra notes pages sprinkled throughout the planner.

Monthly view

The Ashley Shelly Planner includes a monthly calendar at the beginning of each month. Each month is marked with a laminated tab . The monthly pages are printed on heavy card stock. Monthly spread spans two pages and contains the previous month, next month, and a notes column on the left side. This calendar is a Sunday - Saturday format and also contains lined boxes. Holidays are marked in a purple colored font.

Creative Spread

At the beginning of each month, you get a creative spread to help you plan out the month. This section allows the user to creatively plan out their goals for the month including a word of the month or mantra, ways to create happiness, things to cut out such as distractions, routines and habits, personal goals, special dates, and even a monthly bucket list! I think the routines and habits is really important because many of us find ourselves falling out of habits, I even do, and this is a great reminder to help you keep you on track towards your monthly goals!

Week on Two Pages

Finally, we have the week on two page (WO2P) horizontal layout. Each month has four-five pages for the weeks of the month. Each week you get a monthly word section and notes section to capture anything important or noteworthy. Each day has nine (9) time-stamped areas for you to record meetings, appointments, etc.  You also get a daily to-do list, a due today section and dinner section. Each page has a perforated bottom corner that you can tear off each week to create a built-in bookmark! 

In addition to the monthly and weekly sections, you also get an additional ten (10) notes pages in the back of the planner. This planner runs from January 2018 to December 2018. 

The 2018 Ashley Shelly Planner retails for $49.95!

I hope you enjoyed this look into the Ashley Shelley 2018 Planner! I am truly impressed with the design and craftsmanship of this planner! I love the color scheme and the elegant nature of this book.
