Hands up if you love planning!
Personally, I never got into the planning trend in school. All of my classmates had planners, but I couldn't get into it - instead, I would have loads of notebooks to write in. But a few years ago, I got into writing to-do lists and they really increased my productivity.
Choosing a planner
This year, planning seems to have exploded on Youtube and Instagram as well as blogs. I'm not ashamed of saying I got sucked into the hype, because it's a fun obsession to have! :) I ended up researching planners for months. Of course, my first obsession was Erin Condren, but in the end I just didn't fall in love with it. It's too colorful and messy for me, and I just don't love it. I looked at tons of others like Kikki K (overpriced if you ask me), Inkwell Press (currently out of stock) and Happy Planner... I finally found this obscure planner called Heidi Swapp Memory Planner.
How to get Heidi Swapp in Europe?
This is a US planner which can be found in Michaels for about $25. Okay, that's fine and dandy, but how do you get one in Europe? I searched high and low, looked at numerous websites, Etsy, Ebay and Amazon... Here's the thing: you won't get this for a good price in Europe. I settled on a German site called Stempelmeer and still overpaid (I'm embarrassed to admit it was over 35€ + shipping). But I had some money in my Paypal account and this was the perfect way to spend it... RIGHT?
The shipping was insanely fast, I ordered on Thursday and it arrived today (Tuesday). The planner is freaking gorgeous, even prettier than I imagined. Beautiful inserts, nice and not-too-thick-not-too-thin paper, beautiful exterior... I'm totally in love. Now to stop myself from buying all the stickers in the world... Speaking of those, I really like the site Hey Little Magpie, and might place an order soon!
Here we go - my first planner. I'm excited to fill it with pretty things & notes. Let me know if you'd like to see some planning posts! I'm even considering a video... *gasp*!
Do you use personal planners? Which ones?
Planners always excite me! I have so many and use them for a couple of months and then totally neglect them!

Isn't it just! <3
DeleteI love the idea of planners, hell, I've even bought one or two in my time but I never, EVER use them! They sit on my desk looking all pretty and unloved. I wish I was more organised. This really does look lovely though - loving the floral patterns. x

Agreed <3
DeleteGorgeous planner.:D I have one from Target by a brand called "Sugar Paper" that I like. I've also thought of checking out some Erin Condren planners or ones with stickers :)

Oooh I'm so jealous you can get Erin Condren stuff and Target :( x
DeleteOh, I am on the look for a new planner, as a recent drink leak damaged half of mine current one. This looks super cute.
ReplyDelete-Rumbie Love - xo
Oh no! That's so sad :(
DeleteOhh this looks like one of the prettiest planners ever <3
ReplyDeleteAgreed x
DeleteThis is such a stunning planner, and I can always justify a pricier one as they are something you use everyday for a whole year! I have wanted a reusable one for such a long time, so I will definitely look into this. x

DeleteI've always loved planning and admittedly putting way too many stickers on a page than a 24 year old should... I am currently using a Paperchase one, but it doesn't look quite as cute as this one!

DeleteO moj bog pa ravno tak planer iščem! Trenutno sicer uporabljam eno tanko knjigico A6 velikosti od znamke moleskine, kot nek nadomestek planerja, preden najdem planer ki mi je res všeč :D
ReplyDeleteČudovit planer! Že nekaj časa iščem tak podobnega, ker je res lep <3
