This made me laugh out loud... a lot... more than I should probably admit. Overall, I'm in a great mood. My Erin Condren Life Planner finally came in the mail today and I was actually patient enough to take pictures of it as I opened it instead of just tearing through everything.
It came in such a pretty box with a beautiful quote on the flap.
The post-its are covering up my address.
The first thing I pulled out of the box was a catalog that was right on top.
It has a coupon for $15 off $50 on the first page. Saving money on awesome products? Yes, please!
The catalog is really nicely made and has the prices for the products inside as well.
The next thing I pulled out was an envelope with some gift tags and book labels inside.
There was also another sticker floating around by itself. I later stuck this on the outside of my pen case.
As this was my first Erin Condren order I got another card with a coupon for $10 off as well.
Once all that stuff was out of the way the rest was wrapped in tissue.
I was also really happy that everything had a layer of bubble wrap around it as well. Not that anything was fragile but I was worried about everything being jostled around during shipping.
I bought a couple of extra things to go with my planner. One of those was a pen holder. It has an adehesive backing and can be stuck on the back cover of your life planner.
I also bought a set of silver bands. I will wrap one around my planner entirely so it stays shut and doesn't flop around all over the place.
I was given a free gift because I spent a certain amount.
I think this is a really cute shirt and I love that it's pink.
And here it is... My pretty pink life planner. It comes with a detachable ruler that you can use to easily flip to the week it is.
On the inside cover there is an area that you can write in your personal information. I'll write my name and email address with a message stating that there will be a $20 reward if it is returned to me. This is an really nice planner and I'm pretty sure that I would be heartbroken if I lost it.
There are cool quotes throughout the planner. This one is featured in the very beginning.
There is a calendar for 2014/2015 early in the planner as well.
Here's another example of a quote in the planner.
This is what the monthly view looks like.
Each month has a quote at the top.
This is what the weekly view looks like. The days are broken up into sections for morning, day, and night.
Each month is color coordinated as well. You can see that when the month switches during the middle of a week the color changes too.
There is also a section on the left side of the page for goals and notes. Below each day there are a couple of lines where you could plan your meals or keep track of your fitness as well.
In the back of the planner there are 25 pages that are lined for additional notes, lists, etc.
And some pages that are not lined for doodling and what not.
At the end of the planner you will find a calendar for 2016/2017.
Another quote, and then we get to the stickers. I LOVE stickers. The planner comes with two pages of preprinted stickers.
One full page of birthday stickers in various colors
And another set of stickers with different appointments you might have throughout the year.
Then there are two pages of blank stickers that you can write on yourself. All the stickers are repositionable which is really cool. That way if you make a mistake placing the sticker you don't have to worry about ripping the page its on.
Behind the stickers is the double sided keep it together folder. Inside is the Perpetual Calendar and Contact Book. The nice thing about this is that you can just move it around from planner to planner so that you don't have to keep writing all these dates and numbers in.
It also has a section in the back that tells you when all the holidays are for the year.
I ordered some custom event stickers that I can place on the days that I want to post on my blog.
I also ordered two extra sheets of blank stickers as well.
I also came across some goodies in my clear bag.
Some personalized stickers that match my planner,
And some more gift tags.
There were also some let's get together cards. I can easily fill these out with my name and cell phone number. It's so much more personal than typing your number into someone's phone.
The clear bag is nice and I'll probably keep some post its in it.
I was walking through Target after purchasing my planner and saw these pens. I like the idea of being able to color code things as I write them.
I also grabbed a couple rolls of Washi tape and I can wait to use it in my planner. Washi tape is also repositionable which is nice.
So that's my new planner. I'm probably going to crack it open and start writing everything in it as soon as I'm done with this post. Comment down below and let me know if you would like to see a post on how I actually use my planner.
Have a great weekend everyone!
