My Planner for 2018-2019

The Happy Planner Reveal

In honor of this week being the first week of my senior year of college (oh my lord… what the heck… how am I already almost done??), I want to share the planner that I chose to use for this year!

For the past two years, I’ve used the Rifle Paper Co. planner and I loved it. Like absolutely loved it. But I felt like this year I needed a change.

I wanted something that was a bit more creative and had a little bit more customization to it. The list format of the Rifle Paper Co. planner was amazing, but I want to see how a daily layout would work for me. 

Funnily enough, I chose to go with the Happy Planner about 2 weeks before Kayla released her annual planner post. And guess what planner she chose… The Happy Planner! 

If the planner queen herself chooses the Happy Planner, you know it has to be good!

How freaking cute is this cover?!

I picked this one up along with the Planner Basics sticker pack from Michael’s when they were having a 40% off sale.

If you are looking at the Happy Planner, always use coupons or wait for sales. Michael’s accepts any competitors coupons so check JoAnn’s and Hobby Lobby to see if they have better coupons for the week.

What I Love:

  • Customization of inserts and DIY everything 
  • Adorable, insta-worthy designs
  • Full day layouts

I’m waiting for Michael’s to have a 50% off coupon so I can grab one of the hole punches just for the Happy Planner! My brain is full of ideas about how I can integrate blog planning and assignment lists and so on into the Happy Planner.

I just might become planner obsessed this year and I’m not sorry about it at all.

What planner are you using this year?? Are you opting for the Day Designer, the Happy Planner, or something completely different? If you’ve tried the Happy Planner before, what are your opinions on it?

Taking some time outside of CrossFit to drill down and focus on my weightlifting technique. Snatches and cleans have always been a little intimidating and Iโ€™ve been scared to push myself on them for fear of injury. Looking forward to seeing how my lifts progress over the next few months!

Oh, and mental health is doing fantastically, too!

@cattyelizabeth5 and I are back after 3 long months, and weโ€™re so excited to share the first episode of season 5 of Girls Talk! Itโ€™s a good one and a pretty great way to spend an hour of your quarantine ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ

I was 9 months in to my fitness journey, tracked macros like it was my job, and religiously went to the gym 5-6 days a week. Seeing this pop up in my โ€œMemoriesโ€ was just what I needed today because being stuck at home because of my susceptibility to lung problems and #covid_19 has left me highly unmotivated to workout...
