It's here! It's finally here!
Friday was a very happy day for me since I got some happy mail - my very first Erin Condren Life Planner! What's so special about a planner? Usually not much really. Except the Erin Condren Life Planner is no typical planner. It's a bit on the pricey side, but it's a great gift for that girl going into 12th grade or their senior year in college. Of course, you can also just buy it for yourself which is exactly what I did, and I used Swagbucks to buy it! Check out Swagbucks here:

Anyway, back to the Life Planner, it's really a great way to stay organized in a fun, colorful, and inspirational way. And if you're sitting here reading this thinking you can just stay on schedule using the calendar on your phone, you're missing something. It's totally not the same. At all! This is a picture-heavy post but that's the best way to show you what you're in for if you get the Erin Condren Life Planner. (Btw, if you really don't want to spend as much, they do have other planners that are lower in price - the hardbound planners might be the perfect choice for you :) )
Also, this year, Erin Condren changed to a thicker more premium paper than they have used in the past. The paper is FSC-certified meaning from well-maintained forests. The paper is 80# text weight with even thicker card stock for the tabs pages. And guess what! It's made in the U.S. of A.!
And to tell you a little more about these beautiful planners, let me start with all the options you have to customize your Life Planner:
I chose the platinum coil in the horizontal neutral layout with 12 months. This is what the pictures depict so if you'd like to see the other options, please feel free to take a look a look around the website here! (Pssst... if you use this link to sign up, you'll get $10 off your first purchase :) )
You can also get a whole bunch of extra goodies to go along with your Life Planner - such as stickers, markers, bookmarks, dashboards, etc. I personally use Foray pens (as mentioned in my last post) since they're my absolute favorite since I write really tiny and the thin lines are perfect for me, but Erin Condren has really colorful pens, too. The pens I use don't even shadow through the page (meaning you can't see it on the other side of the page). So, for me, pens will be Foray. But stickers... STICKERS!!!!!!!!!! Guys, I'm in love with their stickers! They have beautiful watercolor stickers and so many different patterns and quotes to choose from. Stickers will definitely be in my next purchase! Oh, and washi tape ;)
Anyway, let's get started! This year's design is called Painted Petals - and it's stunning! Flip through the image gallery and read the captions for more information.
*Note: All lines are made from tiny dots instead of straight lines.

But that's not all! Mine even came with a gorgeous (and free!) hardbound, satin-finished, turquoise notebook with a turquoise foil asterisk and turquoise ribbon bookmark. I'll post pictures of that in another post. It started getting cloudy and dark when I was taking pictures of it, so I'll have to try again. (There is really no good lighting in my house so I have to take all my pictures by a window in broad daylight - no I don't have any special camera lighting - bummer.)
Anyway, I really hope you like this post! If you think you'd like to try out an Erin Condren Life Planner for yourself, head over to the website now. I mean, of course you want one! Who wouldn't?
Happy Planning! :)
