The Perfect Planner

For those long time readers of my blog, you may recall a blog I wrote this time last year about Personal planners. (click here to read my post)

For the first time ever I had a planner that I used for the whole year. I didn’t lose it, I didn’t forget to write things in it, and it was fantastic for jotting down blog ideas in.

Last Years Design

So when it came around to this year, it was obvious where I would be heading to get my new planner. Personal planners have even more to offer this time around than last. More options and extras, and believe me, I love a good extra!

Planner Extras

Whilst I could have chosen any one of a number of preset front covers, I knew exactly what picture I wanted to have on mine.

Taken during a charity calendar photo shoot, I fell in love with an image the amazing Peter at Beck photographic had taken. Pure Hollywood glamour,  I knew it would make the perfect looking planner for me.

Hollywood Glamour

I opted to stick to a grey and black theme, with a hint of pale blue on the inside pages. Opting for grey accessories including the elastic closure and ruler,  I kept it very simple and classic.

In the back of the planner there is a section where you can choose the pages you want. I opted for a few differences this year; I still chose a lot of lined pages, but added maps and a full year review.

Where in the World?

My plan with the maps are to record everywhere I have travelled and places that are still on my bucket list.

I made all my choices, uploaded my photographs and added it to my basket. Popping a turquoise erasable gel pen onto my order. I clicked and paid.

Neutral Shades

I just needed to be patient and wait for its arrival.

A week later a green padded envelope landed on my doorstep. It was Here!!

Package of Awesomeness!

Opening the package I was as delighted as when I opened my previous order. The design looked great and the print was outstanding.

Feeling like A Movie Star

The classy front cover really blew me away, the quality really was so fine. I was so glad that I had opted to stick with neutral accessories and attachments.

Vintage Style

The pen was a fabulous purchase too! I genuinely didn’t know you could get erasable gel pens, but this one has been a god-send. I immediately started using the planner and wrote some blog post dates and ideas in the back, then realised I had messed the dates up. Two seconds later and they were erased!

The Finished Article

I really am over the moon with my planner again, and it is already filling up with events and functions. If you are looking for a customisable planner, you really need to get yourself to Personal Planners!
