Planner Preferences

For those of you who don't know, I'm a planner ADDICT. As a matter of fact, I'm addicted to pretty much anything stationary related; if we're being honest. Planner's seem to give my scattered brain some sanity. So, after using my Kate Spade Planner for the past year, I'll tell you why I'm off the moon about trying the MAMBI Happy Planner. None the less, Both of them will cover the next six months. So, I'll also be trying to balance the (in)practicality of having two planners. 

Here's a little run down of the two of them, 

They're both 18 months and start with a preview of the two years. That's about where the similarities end. 

The Kate Spade Planner ran from 2015-2016 and it's a horizontal planner which has a month overview and then a weekly view. Between months, there are simply polka-dot pages as dividers that give a lot of room for personalizing and decorating.

Being a full-time student in university who also is on a school team, and works, and has a social life, I found bullet points to be the only functional way to pencil things in. I like to add in the time and location and found this to fit quite awkwardly.

That is what started my hunt for a vertical planner. 

and then I found the "Me and My Big Ideas" Happy Planner!

This one runs from 2016-2017 but has custom rings that allow for inserts additional pages to be popped in. Literally. 

Aside from being extremely customizable, the planners themselves come in plenty of variations to really match your style. They're also newly available to Michael's Canada! and that means couponnnss. The Planner hasn't started just yet, but I'm dying to try it out!  

Can't wait to review which one works best for me,
see yah soon xx

Spring Cleaning Tips: Bedroom Edition for the Hoarder Type

This is generally what my bed looks like when it has been tidied. Although rare, it's a beautiful sight. So that's how I'm going to start off today's post.

1. Start with your bed. If you’re anything like me, There will be heaps of stuff at the foot of your bed. 90% of it clothes and perhaps some headphones or chargers. Either way, put all of those things back in their homes and Clear that cozy area of everything and anything that isn’t an active aid to your sleep. 
2. The Floor. I’m usually not much worse than a line of up bags and shoes I’ve been using, but even that can get out of control. Again this is something that shouldn’t have anything on it; other than the obvious. Even if you can vaguely put these things where they belong, once you get to that section of your room it’ll be easier to put it in its proper place. 
3. Your Desk/Vanity. I have Both, some may use one for the two purposes. I kept them under the same category anyway since they can both generally be cleaned up using the same train of thought. “Where is this supposed to go?” if you think, “trash” or “in the mug that holds my pencils,” then it’s quite obvious where it should go. If you don’t know, set it aside and give it a home once everything else has been cleaned up.
   
   Any other table tops such as dressers or night stands should generally use the same rule of thumb. I know at least, from my own experience, they all have a habit of collecting pretty much any bits and bobs.  

thank just about covers all the main area points that collect clutter. I hope to be doing wardrobe and book editions very soon! 

until then, see yah soon xx
