Inkwell Press Review & Compare 2016 LiveWell Planner | Video, Corresponding Blog Post & Giveaway! |

Hello friends! Happy Tuesday to you all. I am back talking about and sharing something I totally love to talk about → Planners! Today I am going over the 2016 Inkwell Press Live Better Planner. In the video below, I am sharing some of the new 2016 Inkwell Press products I recently purchased during the new launch. I also compare the 2016 with my current 2015 Inkwell Press Planner sharing the differences. There are more pictures below and the entry form for the giveaway. Hope you enjoy! 

It's no secret that I am in total love with Inkwell Press. I think the planners are so nice and it's been a blessing of sorts to have finally found a planner that I adore and have used for a year straight. Planner Peace if you will! I have a ton of videos on the 2015 Inkwell Press Planner that you can check here if you are interested! Now, lets have a look at all the new planner goodies! 

First off, the packaging is super nice. You can tell that they really take care in packaging up their planners and products in a beautiful box. I personally wouldn't care if the planners came in a garbage bag because I love mine so much. They also include a few cards and samples of some of their products like the sheet from the Weekly Kickstarter Pad. All super nice additions to your purchase. 

Now on to the planner: I picked the Wood Chevron Classic LiveWell Planner. The classic is a vertical design that I have really grown to love! This new 2016 planner is a bit smaller than the 2016 with a page size of 7 x 9. It's just a bit smaller but more portable to toss in a bag or to carry around. You can barely tell a difference and they designed the planner with the same amount of writing room. One of the most wonderful parts of this planner is the thick paper. It has 140gsm paper making it the heaviest paper I have ever seen in a planner. It's one of the many reasons I am sticking with this planner in 2016. You just can't and won't find another planner with this kind of paper. 

There are some more subtle changes in the 2016 planners. The font has been changed around to a cursive kind of font that I like so much better than the block lettering. I think it makes it look more lady like. Also they switched around the order of the pages a little and added some additional color schemes. You will also find a lined note section in the monthly layout opposed to no lines in that area in the 2015 planners. Also there is a new bill tracker page in the back in the planner that was only available for download before....and now it's right there for us!

There are a ton of reasons I can go into on why this planner is so special to me. I think it's very well made. I think the company is wonderful and there are actual some additional perks to anyone who does get a planner. Tonya from Inkwell Press sends out planner setup videos as soon as your planner ships to help you get the most out of it. She shows you how to set it up to make your life more easier and functional. I don't know any other planner companies who do that for their customers. Additionally there are downloads that you can print off anytime and add to your planner. These planners are of super high quality but they are not over priced coming in around $54 each. That's not bad at all for such a nice planner. I think it looks more mature and grown up than our beloved Erin Condren Life Planners. I use to totally love that planner and company but once I found out about Inkwell Press, it was over. I just couldn't go back. Customer service is amazing and I couldn't possibly be happier with another planner.

 I am going to finish out the year with my 2015 Inkwell Press Planner and then jump right into the new one come January! Right now these planners are sold out. However, they should be restocked in November. I will for sure let you all know when they are available. I actually plan on buying the A5 Inserts to try out around that time myself. There are a bunch of the journals in stock and planning supplies so check out the website and see if anything interests you. If you are interested in ordering something you can click right here and get $10 off your first order of $50 or over. :) I would love to know what planner you  think is impossible to live without! Planners are so personal to each of us and what works for me, might not work so well for you. Share your thoughts! xx
