How I Pre-plan In My Planner ♥

Hello ladies, 

i know, i know i disappeared again but ive had this flu that i just cant shift, my voice has been going and coming back, my chest feels horrible, and i just feel groggy so all the posts that was meant to happen last week, are being put up this week! so from today to friday urll have a post everyday YAY!!

i know people have been asking how i pre-plan.. and the reason is i decorate my planner i dont use it as just a basic planner, i find if its a bit more pretty it goes into my brain alot better than boring old black and write.. 

my monthly sections look a little something like this.. i use sticky notes for my blog posts, so i can move them from date to date.. its normally a little more colour coded with pink being beauty, green planner related and yellow life. on the sundays i use it to plan my weekly themes.. i block of birthdays and special events like christmas and new years day.. i use the side notes section for my online orders what ive done that month. i also use my monthlies for my bills aka when there due and when they will come out.. which ive covered up with the sticky notes effectively before doing this post! i dont really decorate my monthly section but i do block of the weekends so i can see monday to friday with just a glance. 

i then use page flags on my weekly section.. on the friday night or saturday ill sit down and transfer everything on to these page flags so when i come to plan on the sunday i dont need to keep flicking back and forth to the monthly section.. i also add in things i need to do this week on days i want to do it, if ive got an appointment for that day then i put it straight in to the weekly section on one of this page flags rather than my monthlies. i decorate a bit coming up to the week in hand but other than that i dont do much until the sunday...

Etsy Spotlight: Its Only Me Caralee ♥

Hey loves, 

Today im back with another etsy spotlight! its become an addiction lately and i will willingly sit there and look at all the pretties that people make! 

Today involves a cute little shop called "its only me caralee."

the stickers i choose are half ombre and flags set, weekend banners, small cameras, red and black minnie planner stickers. 

They are amazing quality since they all cost between £1 and £3, she does a majority of sets rather than individual stickers but she is expanding on that.  the minnie set is the cutest thing ive seen i love minnie and mickey mouse so ofcourse i needed to get it! the cameras help me mark when i need to take a picture on sundays of my final week. 

price: for the quality you cant beat the price at all. the amount you get for that price too is simply amazing. 

paper: the paper feels of high standard, easy to peel from the backing and the cut is amazing.. 

finish: the finish of the stickers are matte. which i like but i think the cameras would look lovely on a satin finish paper. 

postage cost: the postage cost the big massive amount of 99p! i know what your thinking.. could she get anymore sarcastic but honestly theres no many places that ship for standard 99p! 

postage time: postage did take 5 days after it was sent out. but thats royal mail for you i cant blame the shop for that. It took 2/3days after i brought the items to be shipped out! which since i brought them on the weekend i can forgive and forget - the shop is a ready to ship shop i believe (i could be so wrong about that) 

Etsy spotlight: Pookie Paper Co ♥

Hello my loves, 

i know i know, i said i was back to blogging and yet i disappeared again not a week later, theres not alot i can say in my defence but i got really sick and by monday rolled around i was so ill i could hardly talk and then by wednesday my voice was gone.  day and night nurse was my savior! they both knocked me out even though the day nurse said none drowsy? anyway.. back to business! 

Today is the start of a new series that ive had in the making for a few months, well i had it in my mind anyway. Ive saw a ton of girls do this on youtube but the difference is this one is ONLY uk! there will be no international shops! which im sure you all are seeing as mean but think about it, all these lovely ladies in the uk are going out of there way to do this any we would rather spend a small fortune on postage getting them from the USA because we dont hear alot about them? well no more! 

planner week: 2nd to 8th ♥

Hey loves, 

today im back with my planner weekly spread. im really really enjoying the layout of this planner, but the issue i had was that as i was taking out the months the bigger rings got flimsy and i didnt feel like it was secure enough to take around with me. that being said me and my big ideas dont do smaller rings than this so i searched the internet and found some lovely coloured ones for 5.99 but postage from america took it to nearly £20 and that wasnt going to happen since i could buy a whole new planner for something close to that, i had to pop to the shops and i nipped into wilkos and they had a discbound display book for £2 so i got that but when i got to the till it rang up for 99p?! i just used the discs and hey presto i love my secure planner!

this week i done a owl theme.. honestly it was done before we choose to have a harry potter night i promise!
