2016 Planning Series: Bullet Journal Introduction | The Basic Setup | Video

Hello friends! I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday. I am back today with another video in my 2016 planning series. I have loved sharing different planners and journals with you so far this year but now we are to the point where I want to start talking about Bullet Journaling. I want to break it down to the bare bones and share how easy it is to use this system created by Ryder Carroll. He designed a way of rapid logging that is sure to help us all in our everyday lives.  In the video below you will find the very simple system without a lot of extras. Again...it's more simple than most would realize. Hope you enjoy the video! 

I know that when you online at bullet journals many are extremely decorated and color coded....but none of that is necessary with this system. I recommend really getting to know the bullet journal and how it works with the Index, Future Log, the different collections, rapid logging, using bullets and signifiers and finally pulling it all together through migration. 

Once you have the system down, then start decorating and such if you wish. But making it complex to use normally means it won't actually get used that much. So don't make it too complex at first. Just get to know the system. And maybe some of you are already amazing at bullet journaling. But before we start really diving into the subject of bullet journaling, we should talk about the simple concept of this way of journaling/planning. 

Because I am using this system again and because I love it, I am great Moleskine Notebook that would be perfect for a new bullet journal. So I am giving one each way to a couple of you lucky winners!  You have till July 6, 2016 to get entered. You do not need a facebook account but you do have to share your email. There are a lot of ways to get entered below...to earn more entries! The winners will be announced on THIS BLOG POST. Good Luck!

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed the video. I also hope it inspires you to consider using the bullet journal in  your everyday lives. There are so many different beautiful bullet journals out there but it doesn't have to be that complex. It's not suppose to make you feel stressed out to work in the journal. Instead you should feel at peace that you are accomplishing all of your tasks and staying on schedule. I do have my current bullet journal decorated a little but the analog system is what keeps it all straight! More bullet journal video's and blog posts coming soon. xx

TEA TIME! ☕ Rosali Tea Review Giveaway! ☕ VIDEO

Hello friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial day. I took a little break and still have a few other videos to share with you from over the weekend. Hopefully later today or tomorrow I will have them up and live for you! In the meantime I thought I would go over a new monthly subscription box that I tried out. Everything is in the video....and below is more photos, information and the giveaway link! :) Hope you enjoy! 

When I was contacted from Rosali Tea I couldn't have been more excited. I am a huge tea lover and the thought of a new monthly tea subscription just made me happy. I was lucky to receive one of their beautiful boxes to test out and share with you! It comes packaged in a really nice box. It slides open from the side to reveal some amazing teas. 

 This little box came packed with all kind of goodies! There were 3 loose teas with information cards for each. There was a ton of other information cards as well. They included tea filters...little disposable bags that the loose tea goes in. The also included a cute wooden scoop and some natural honey sticks to sweeten it up!

The teas are gorgeous to say the least. They are packed with lots of health benefits. Each is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids, and vitamins. The teas offer all natural energy and nutrients. Rosali Tea source from artisans who handcraft and blend their teas in small batches.

 After reading the information card that was included, I decided I would test out the teas as suggested. One in the morning which has the most caffine, one in the afternoon and then the herbal tea before bed.

All the teas were super good. My favorite was for sure the White Jasmine Rose. I surprisingly liked the  Lemon Rose Chamomile as well. It was easier to get down than I expected. The morning Sencha Matcha Bliss was my least favorite but it was still pretty good. I didn't want to add a bunch of sugar to my tea. I did add a little rock sugar to the Sencha Matcha Bliss because I really thought it needed it. I used a honey stick that they provided in the White Jasmine Rose which was perfect and with the herbal Lemon Rose Chamomile I left out all sweeteners being I was going to bed. 

The Rosali Tea website is so easy for anyone to use. You can there right here and check it out for yourself. There is a small quiz that allows them to get to know your tea taste better so they can fill the boxes with teas that will suit you! For $14.95 a month you will get a box with the same kind of items I got with teas picked out for you! Tea experts personalizes your tea box based on your preferences and around the 10th of the month this adorable monthly subscription will arrive in your mailbox! 

I absolutely love this company and their monthly tea subscription box and I think you would love it too! There is a giveaway. It's being held by Rosali Tea and is not exactly like my other giveaways. You will have to go here to get entered. The giveaway is going to go on for 2 weeks. But you have to use that link and answer a few simple questions. If you love tea or want to try something new you should for sure get entered! The giveaway is going to go on for 2 weeks. They Rosali Tea will pick and notify the winner.  :)  Also if you want to just sign up or buy tea off their website, you can use KISHA20 for 20% off your first purchase!

If you have any questions or comments be sure to let me know! Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a great day. xx

2016 Planning Series { Travel Journals } Video & Giveaway!

Hello friends! Today I am back with another video in my 2016 Planner Series. This time I am going over some new travel journals that I have fallen in love with. You can check everything out in the video....there are more photos and the giveaway form below. Hope you enjoy! 

This Mead Travel Journal I found at Target for around $15.00. I absolutely loved it when I saw it.  There are 3 different sections with lined paper, craft paper and grid paper in between. It has a ton of pockets for any additional travel items you would like to keep. I love the rings that secure this journal together so you can either take a page out to work on it and it gives you room to build it up. 

I plan on using this to record some trips we already took and I will continue to fill it up with even more day/weekend/ trips and vacations. 

Another Travel Journal of sorts that I love is this one I found on Etsy in PooBirds Rarities Shop.  I thought the design of this was nice. And I love that you can customize it with the states that you wish. I got this one done in a South Carolina/Indiana theme. 

For this one, I plan on making it our moving journal. I have saved so much stuff from our move from South Carolina to Indiana and this book will be amazing to document it. I love how much effort she puts in these little travel journals! If you are interested in getting one of the notebooks right now, Jennifer is giving us a 15% discount using the code: TNLOVE2016

Let me know if you have any questions or comments! xx

ZLYC: Fauxdori | Video | Unboxing | Midori Comparison | GiVeAwAy |

Hello friends! I hope you are having a great evening. I am back tonight with a new video in my 2016 Planner series. I love my Midori. I really do. However, many of you guys have expressed to me that it's a bit costly to get one and get it setup. And that's so true. It's not cheap but I look at it as a huge life investment. However, I was looking around at a lot of Fauxdori and this set from ZLYC really impressed me. Everything is in the video and there are more pictures and the giveaway form below! 

I found this brand on Amazon just lurking around at fake Midori Style Notebooks. Once I found these I read the reviews and thought they would be interesting to check out and explore. 

With Prime shipping they were here in just a couple of days. You can see that each box has a sticker with the color of each Notebook. 

 I thought the packaging was very similar to the Midori Packaging. They give you a little burlap bag that keeps the leather notebook in good shape during the shipping process. It came with an extra orange elastic, and a little booklet explaining the process with the leather and how to clean it. The nice unique thing to this company and these notebooks is they are not only beautifully made they come with three inserts as well. I don't think they guarantee any particular inserts but I do believe that every notebook comes with a monthly calendar. My larger ZYLC notebook came with a insert with lined pages, a monthly calendar and then a insert with blank paper. When you purchase a Midori you get just one insert. So that's saving within itself. The Midori inserts can cost you on average $12.00 - $25.00 each. One of the nicest things is you can order these in a set for a very affordable price. 

I absolutely love the embossed design on these notebooks. It's really what stood out the most to me. The leather is really nice. It's very beautiful, soft and actually more flexible than my Midori.  This is one of the most beautiful journals I have to date. the workmanship, especially the quality of the embossing, is amazing. Currently I am using the larger sized Midori Travelers Notebook → Click here for my current setup ←  and I thought this larger size would be perfect for my everyday journaling and also to just add to my collection! :)

I also decided to order the smaller passport size. This is the coffee color and again it has a beautiful flowers embossed on the leather cover. Again it came with 3 inserts. This time...a grid insert, a monthly calendar and then another grid notebook. I use my smaller Midori Passport size for my wallet and I love it. I could do the exact same with this new ZYLC Notebook. 

 You can see the comparisons from the ZYLC to the Midori. They are basically the same size....they are very similar except the ZYLC is a bit cheaper in cost. Plus you get three inserts with each one. The nice thing is any Midori inserts will fit these just fine. Both are very beautiful from ZLYC and since I love them...I want to share them with a couple of you guys! Below you will find the entry form to get entered. One winner will receive the larger size just like the one I shared and another winner will win the smaller size...same color. You have till June 1st to get entered. You do not need a facebook account but you do have to share your email. There are a lot of ways to get entered below...to earn more entries! The winner will be announced on THIS BLOG POST. Good Luck!

Thank you for stopping by tonight. I really hope you like this alternative to the Midori Travelers Notebook. If you have any questions be sure to let me know. Next week I will be back with even more planners/journals with another giveaway! :) See ya soon! xx

2016 Planner / Journal Series: The Pray! Prayer Journal Video, Blog Post & Giveaway!

Hello friends! I hope you are having a fantastic Tuesday! I am back sharing another video in my 2016 planner/Journal series. I am excited to be sharing and giving away this simple and beautiful prayer journal. I take you through it all in the video. Below you will find more photos, information and the giveaway form. Hope you enjoy!

For a while now I have wanted to get a prayer journal. I honestly don't know much about them but I am across the Pray! Prayer Journal by Dean Riding. This seemed to have everything in it that I was hoping for. 

The beginning pages gives you a place to put your name and the current year and of course the table of contents taking you through the journal. 

There is a very simple introduction telling a story of a young man named Dawson Trotman. Then it goes into how this prayer journal will help you grow in intimacy with God. It is to help you conduct an extended prayer meeting of your own!

 In the beginning section of the journal it gives you a really nice roadmap of a prayer schedule that could work for anyone. It explains exactly how to use each section. Examples of prayers that you " could " use with a lot of scriptures as well. I really like the break down of this section. Each day you have a different group to pray for.

Then you go into the weekly layout. The format focuses on a different category each day but you don't have to follow that if you don't wish. These pages in the weekly section are really a place to put the people, situations and circumstances you are praying for. Beside the date is also a section in the bible to read...taking you through the entire bible in one year if you follow it. On the left side of the page there is scripture. Each week there is a new verse to help teach us and guide us. There are also prayer tips and tid-bits of information on each page.

At the end of the month, there is a monthly reflection section to write out what God is saying to you. There is also a prayer for the month. On the opposite page, there are tips and prayers just to inspire you even more.

Each month has a new purpose. It really doesn't matter where you start in your year. I am actually starting in May. I hope to use this journal until April 2017. 

 In the back there is more information and resources to really make this prayer journal work for you. I love love love the answered prayer section. It's one of my favorite sections of all.

 There is even more information packed into the last pages of this journal. It's such a really well thought out prayer journal. See why I love it?

I am so impressed by this journal/workbook. I think it will only make life better to have a set out plan for praying. I make time to pray everyday..morning, night and and any time in between. I need all the help I can get! :)

This prayer journal seems unique like no other. I love it. I think it is great for personal use but you really could get everyone in your home one of this journals and go through it together and maybe just keep the prayers private. But you could go through the lessons, scriptures, bible readings and such with anyone. I think it would be a great gift for anyone at any age. It's truly inspirational and I love it Since I love it so much I am sharing one prayer journal with 4 of you luck winners! It's open to everyone. You just have to use the form below to get entered...super easy! You have 2 weeks and I will announce the winners on this blog post post! Good luck!

a Rafflecopter giveaway

If you don't really want to wait you can go ahead and find the Pray! Prayer Journal right here. 

    

I think it will be life changing for whomever uses it. I am so excited about finally sharing this with you guys because I really want to start using it. I doubt I will ever share this journal with anyone because I think our prayers are deeply personal. Any conversation with God is personal and private. Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a beautiful and blessed day. xx

Avon Big Daring Mascara Demo, Review & Giveaway + More! :)

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I am back with a more fun beauty related video, blog post and giveaway! A friend/subscriber Jacqueline sent me some Avon items to test and review. I happily said yes! In the video below I am going to go over a few of the items she sent including demoing the Avon Big Daring Mascara. Here are my thoughts...hope you enjoy! Also there is more information below about the other items she sent along with a fun giveaway sponsored by Jacqueline herself!

This is the Avon Power Serum is by far is my favorite item out of everything she sent me. It feels amazing on the skin. I have used this mostly at night ( I do use moisturizer after ) and when I wake up my skin really does look better.  That was just with a few samples. 

Here's the benefits:

• Anti-aging serum compliments moisturizers to hydrate, smooth, and firm skin
• Advance Boost Technology helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles while increasing skin's natural radiance
• Dramatically improves skin's overall appearance
• Hypoallergenic and non comedogenic
• Allergy-tested and dematologist-tested
• Suitable for sensitive skin

I noticed my skin really looking and feeling better using this serum. It felt firming and my skin felt moisturized and the over all appearance actually changed after one use. I swear. I was shocked at how much my skin really enjoyed this product. 

Jacqueline also sent me a full size Avon Big & Daring Mascara.  This is an interesting mascara because it is a 24 hour formula. Meaning it will stay put for a very long time. 

Here are the benefits: 

• Plumping Complex and innovative creme-gel formula delivers 5x the volume
• Clump-free, smudge-free, flake-free
• Curved brush with mutl-level patented bristles
• Brush captures every lash while sculpting and filling in gaps.
• .338 fl. oz
• Available in Blackest Black, Black, Brown Black
• Hypoallergenic
• Opthalmologist tested
• Suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers

This is a wet formula for sure. It has a huge wand with a lot of bristles and as you could see in the video, it really does plump up and lengthen. I think you need to really take you're time when applying this because it is a bit wetter. It does coat every lash and dries rather quick. You will need to use a oil based remover to get this easily off you're lashes. I don't wear my make up that long but it's nice to have a strong mascara that wont smudge or flake. It's not my favorite of all time but it's pretty nice.

Another product I got to try out is one of the Ultra Color Lipsticks in Carnation. She also sent cherry jubilee which was a little to bright for me but a beautiful shade. I personally liked the pinky mauve Carnation. 

Here are the benefits:

• Lip-nourishing formula with Shea Butter, Omega-3 Oil, Arctic Berry and Vitamin E
• Conditions and moisturizes lips
• Over 60 shades
• Chose your finish:  Satin, shimmer & soft matte
• See shade instantly with clear view window packaging
• Designed for every skin tone
• Full coverage lipstick

This color was perfect for me. It glided right on. It didn't feel heavy. I think the color alone is perfect for any time of the year. I did have to reapply it a few times through out the day but with as with any moisturizing lipstick, it didn't do that ugly feathering appearance on my lips. This was another favorite that she sent me!

I got a bunch of samples of Avon's Ultra Sexy Heart Eau de Toilette Spray. However the bottle is super cute! Here's a little more about this scent:

Ultra Sexy Heart will win your heart! Scented like gifts of love—Maraschino cherries, irresistible red rose petals and decadent chocolate marshmallow—this intoxicating floral gourmand will capture the heart. 1.7 fl. oz.

Top Notes: Maraschino Cherry, Mandarin, Blackberry
Mid Notes: Red Rose Petals, Jasmine Petals, Vanilla-Orchid
Bottom/Dry Notes: Chocolate Marshmallow, Benzoin, Australian Sandalwood Oil

I am picky about perfumes. This one however is very spring like. It's very light...not a heavy scent at all. I personally couldn't smell a lot of the rose petals or jasmine but I did smell a lot of the drier notes such as the chocolate marshmallow and sandalwood. I smelled the orchid too. I actually like it a lot. It does smell fresh and light. Perfect for spring and summer. 

She also sent a few samples of the Black Suede Sport cologne for Scott to try out. Here's a little more about this scent. 

The newest fragrance in the Black Suede line. Discover rugged sophistication with Black Suede Sport. An energetic mix of watery citrus, sexy sage, and captivating vetiver that embodies the essence of rugged masculinity with an air of sophistication. The extra inclusion of spices make this 3.4 fl oz bottle of cologne spray a sensual must have for daily use.

This scent seemed to linger all around the house all day. I could smell it on the animals and even on Scott after he got home from a long day's work. I was taken by how good this smelled. I was kinda shocked it was an Avon product. I have paid tons for other colognes for Scott and this one is just as good. This would make a great gift for any man in your life. 

Avon has really stepped up their game in the past few years. Their skincare lines are amazing. All of them from what I can tell. Their makeup is top of the line as well. If you would like to check them out yourself or buy any of the times I shared, go visit Jacqueline! She is a super sweet person and is sponsoring a giveaway for one of you guys! You will receive the same goody box that I did. It's very simple to get entered. This is open to everyone in the US. You must be 18 years old to enter or have your parents permission. Good Luck!

These Avon items did get sent to me to review, but all opinions are honest and my own. Thank you so much for Jacqueline for sending them to me. If you have any questions or comments be sure to leave them below. xx

Madison Reed Hair Color Kit Review & Giveaway | Video |

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I am back sharing a brand pretty new to me...Madison Reed . You will be able to see in the video how well it actually worked. How easy it was to test out and even demonstrate. In the video I share everything about what is included in the at home color kits, my process and the results. To get entered in the giveaway, go to the bottom of the page and use the rafflecopter system. Hope you enjoy!

* Post contains referral links.  Items in this post were sent to me for consideration.  This is a sponsored post.  All opinions are genuinely my own. *

This hair color is Ammonia, Resorcinol, and PPD-Free, with No Parabens Added. You don't have to worry about stink, burn, or itch of the harsh chemicals found in other colors. This hair color didn't really have any noticeable scent which was nice. Normally, the scent of hair color gives me a headache and this one did not. 

The color is handcrafted in Italy, where color artisans constantly innovate the most effective formulas under the strictest EU standards for health and safety. Multiple tones are blended into each color to create dimension and visually add volume to hair. The result is more vibrant color with natural-looking highlights and low lights - an effect previously only achievable in salons.

The kit includes everything you need. Seriously....they thought this really out and included some very helpful items such as a barrier cream and a cap. Also, they include both a shampoo and conditioner....all of which never comes in a drug store hair color kit. 

Each at home hair color kit contains:

A)  Personalized Instructions
Easy to follow, our instructions are printed with illustrations and large, readable type right on the box. That way you don't have to struggle with microscopic text and a magnifying glass.
B)  Barrier Cream
Protect your skin from color stains—because no one wants telltale spots on her face!
C)  Cleansing Wipes
Remove stray color from your skin. So even if you make a little mess, cleanup is easy.
D)  Radiant Color Cream
Ammonia, resorcinol, and PPD-free, our color is rich with nutrients like argan oil, keratin, and ginseng root to strengthen and protect hair while delivering vibrant, multi-tonal color.
E)  Conditioning Activator
Formulated to ensure longer-lasting color, our Conditioning Activator comes in a convenient application bottle with screw-off cap and tip, to make mixing and applying color easy.
F)  Protective Cap
Hold in heat to help with color activation and keep wet, messy hair in place.
G)  2 Pairs of Fitted Gloves
One pair for applying your color and another so you don't have to wrestle the color-covered pair back on to rinse your hair.
H)  Color Enhancing Shampoo + Conditioner
Sulfate, paraben, and gluten-free and rich with nutrients, our color-protection system cleanses, conditions, and protects for softer, shinier hair and longer lasting color

The process was very easy. I loved the barrier cream because it kept my skin from staining. That went on right after I pulled my hair back. Then I started at the roots and let it sit for about 20 minutes before finishing the rest of my hair. Once I was done I used the cleansing wipe to get the die off my arm and around my face. It worked great and didn't irritate my skin in any way. Another handy edition to the kit that does not come in any drug store hair colors. 

  When time was up, I used the shampoo and conditioner that was also included. I have to admit, it was a little too dark at first so I just washed my hair a couple more times and it toned down a little bit. However, the color is beautiful. I think it was just shock but I know it looks much better. 

It turned out really well and I do like it a lot. The color was easy to apply and even easier because of the extra gloves, cap and detailed instructions. It's much easier to do your own hair at home than what some might think. With this kit it, it's easy to understand and the website also makes it easy to pick out a color with their quick quiz. Plus they have stylist standing by in case you do have an issue. 

I am totally impressed. It left my hair rich in color with pretty understated highlights. My hair smells amazing. It's soft and bouncy and I love the color. If you are interested in trying out one of these kits with the shade of your choice, the super nice people at Madison Reed are sharing one with 1 LUCKY WINNER! :) This giveaway is going to go on for two weeks. A winner will be picked on Febuary 9, 2016. Good luck to everyone! 

a Rafflecopter giveaway

This hair color was not only healthy for my hair but it also gave it such a beautiful color. I hope you guys try out it and see how it works for you. No more big salon prices but also no more cheap drugstore dyes. It's pretty much a middle ground to getting a beautiful color job at home without a huge cost. Let me know if you have any questions! Also between now and February 1st, you can get 50% off your first box! Click the photo to get the deal!

I really enjoyed seeing my mom and sister. It might have been kinda bumpy at times but seeing both of them made it all worth it. :) 

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! 

More about this Classic Planner:

• • 9 x 7" Pages
  • 3 Daily Boxes to Help Prioritize
  • Premium Hard Cover Design
  • Attached Elastic Band Closure
  • Superior Wire-O Binding
  • Lay Flat/ Fold Over Construction
  • Mylar Coated Tabs
  • Heavy Weight 140 GSM Paper

• • Full Color Offset Printing

  • Double Sided Pocket Folder
  • Removable Ruler/Page Marker
  • 2 Page Monthly Spreads
  • 2 Page Weekly Spreads
  • Yearly & Monthly Goal Tracking Sheets
  • Extra Goodies for Gifts, Travel and More

When I put in my order I got a few extras: 

LiveWell Planner Stamp: The liveWELL Planner Stamp is designed to work with the daily boxes of your planner. Words included within the stamp: 

* goals * home * social * gratuity * errands * tasks * hydrate * priorites * meals * shopping * health * reflection

Stripped Washi Sheet Sticker Set: The striped washi sheet style sticker is designed to coordinate perfectly with the 4 colored layouts of our planners. Each set comes with 6 sheets and each sheet has  53 shapes for a total of 318 stickers in a set. It comes with:

 * 11 Hexagons * 6 Pointed Flags * 2 Long Skinny Strips * 2 Long Thicker stripes * 26 Mini Squares * 6 Ribbon Flags

Sewn Journal | Daring Adventure | Each of their sewn journals are handmade for by an artisan. Little details make this book feel even more special with the hand rounded corners, hand sewn binding and beautiful gold foil stamping.

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
