You are so inspirational. I am 21 year old woman beginning to work on my future career plans. I love using your videos as a resource as you just seem to be such a strong leader! Thank you for setting an example for young women like me! Much love.
Hi Nikki... I have been following your channel for 2 years and just love, love, love every video you make. You have helped organize my home! I am so grateful. Thanks
Your advice for purchasing a first planner is excellent! I purchased my first 2 years ago and spent way too much $, and then ended up not being comfortable with the size, format etc and quickly abandoned working with it. I've recently decided to give planners another try and have just purchased a more economical "self-created" simpler system. Love your videos - I've just discovered them and have been pouring over them all afternoon!
Nikki i have never been a fan of planners all the stickers and washi tape put my head in a spin, but you have turned that thought completely around, love your classy planner style.
I've become a UA-cam junkie of sorts, but the greatest tip I ever received was from Ms. Nikki: Don't just buy a lot of supplies, take note of what you really need or you'll end up spending hundreds of dollars on stuff you do not need. Thank you Nikki, for being such a huge blessing. Big hugs💕Happy New Year💗
+ At Home With Nikki After watching your videos for a year now, I finally decided to start planning and following your tips, I was able to get into it, and now I truly enjoy planning. I find that going through the process of searching for a planner, accessories, ect, that it has helped me get things done easily. I went to Target's dollar spot and found a pretty pink one ! Thanks so much for posting these videos and the tips from both of your channels. They definitely have helped !
I was a planner addict when I taught and worked. Now that I'm retired I use a plain vanilla journal (from TJ Maxx ) that I write in, sketch in, and keep track of my cleaning schedule. But I still love to look at planners! I scrapbook so my love of all things paper has an outlet. Thanks for the inspiration!
Ahh. My morning coffee and a new Nikki vid! Great start to my day. Great planner tips and gorgeous pens. I am a paper planner for life and I believe in combining work and home as a way to be productive and organized. As always, TFS!
Thank you so much. I have tried to use my smart phone for years. But I love having a planner. And I was feeling a bit embarrassed until I watched this video. I am going back to my planner. I love how you organized the business and home daily section. I cant wait to by a new one for 2018. And the best part is that resource book and the cute little meal prep book! Thank you so much!
I am a phone/computer planner. Google calendar, docs, sheets, etc. I organize the whole family on Google Calendar. I can add events for my husband and 17 year old and they show up on their phone. I have even ditched my desk calendar that I used to have. I feel 'free' having it on the computer. But, I do appreciate the 'tactile' aspect and 'pretty' of your planner.
Jill Bauer Ahhh! Sounds like planner peace :) I like digital, especially for calendaring. One of my friends was showing me Cozi for actually planning, but I'm a statistic. I do better with eye, brain, hand, tactile for internalizing my goals and plans. And then I'm paranoid. I don't like the idea of any of my personal information floating around the ethernet :/
I love the idea to use a smaller book for meal planning. I'm trying to get back in the habit as well. At the end of each week, I'm like... I don't know what to cook! I really helps the week flow better when I prep
Good morning my friend! There is nothing better than having my morning coffee with you! I am a new planner. Just bought a recollection planner from Michaels. Thanks for your tips!
I'm not a planner but I feel that you gave great tips for someone interested in planning or a beginner planner. If I ever change my mind, I know where to look to get started. Thank you once again
Very good advice! I went on a crazy sticker buying frenzy when I first saw everyone's beautiful layouts. I've since discovered I prefer my planner to be more functional than decorative.
Nikki, I absolutely love your videos! Your voice is so easy to listen to. I have absorbed so much information on such varied topics. Thanks so much for sharing!
Hi Nikki! I just got my new Erin Condren planner! This is my second one. I use the hourly layout and I absolutely love it. I decorate it to the max. I use it everyday. I just wanted to pop on here and tell you that I love your videos and I watch them all of the time!!! I also made my first purchase with the Grove Collaborative. Thank you for inspiring me!!! I love organization and cleaning. I have told everyone I know about your videos! You are lovely!!! I hope that you are having a wonderful day!!!
Looking forward to your menu planning results in that little diary. Menu planning is going to be a focus for me this year to save money and prevent waste.
Hi, Nikki- awesome ! Thank you so very very much ! What a blessing. I enjoyed your presentation. I am inspired to get more serious in my planner by moving beyond my simple to do lists. I'm a glam-ma, an educator ( 35 years), very creative and a dance minister at CCC Brooklyn- so I need my planner to really be functional and look appealing. Your hints are amazing- because I have been very overwhelmed with choices. I am open and welcome to anymore suggestions or videos. Thank you again- you're a blessing ! Dobbie
This really helps. i was feeling overwhelmed because i never tried using a planner before and i am so busy, but i need it this year. i am taking STEM classes this year and every minute counts. i truly appreciate what you do. i am a new subscriber. God bless you and your family this year.
Nikki, ...I mean, the minute I start watching one of your videos now, I can FEEL endorphins flood my brain-- anticipation, excitement, euphoria, and human purring! You bless my world and I love you for sharing your many talents with all of us. Whenever people are impressed with my organization I will always credit you and tell them they can learn how to do what I do by checking out and subbing your channel. I think this is a calling you were meant to fulfill in this life. When I think about the help and happiness you are bringing to others, I am happy. I am watching your videos slowly but surely like someone eating expensive bonbons--savoring, not rushing! I don't want to run out!
Hi Nikki i recently purchased a planner in October to use for Thirty One I'm a consultant, .and so far i the idea of having it to reference whenever i need it is so helpful..it's my first big planner I've always used a regular small purse calendar for everything but now I've purchased one for personal use as well.. thanks for all the tips God Bless
Nikki, where did you get your pens? And, I love you style, very classy. There's so much fun planner supplies out there but so little kind of "grown up" stuff. I like the fun stuff. I just want one of my planners to be a little more classy. Love the black and gold. Suits you too
Last year I was in Goodwill and came across a brand new Filofax A5. It was purple leather from the U K and was still in the package. I paid $3.92 cents for it. I don't write in it that much because my handwriting is not nice, but I love holding it.
Ms. Nikki, could you please share where you purchased the pens that are shown in your video? I have been searching all over for pens like that, for my planner, and can not locate them. Also, nice looking pens with red ink. Thanks!
Dear Nikki, I am a fairly new follower/subscriber and I just wanted to say "Hi" and thank you! I have binge watched you the last month and I love everything you do and share, you're style, your organization, your thoughtfulness. Your beauty and light shine through your videos! Thanks for sharing with the world for others to benefit!
Hi Nikki, Thank you so much for the informative planner video. It was perfect since I just got back into planning. Its been a lot of fun gathering materials and watching videos but I am fully engrossed and I love to stay organized. Thanks again for your insight. Have a blessed year!
I found 3 ring planner insets for my Dayrunner at the Target dollar spot for $3!! Daily pages. Dividers etc! I'm sure they could be hole punched to fit more than 3 rings. Just FYI for anyone looking for budget friendly options.
I've tried doing a personal planner before but of course it got out of hand fast with all of the fun stickers and such, lol! I'm taking my time and hoping to use some of your tips. Love your planner.
can't wait for your inspiration page...thank you for the tips...I found that I use three planners. one for family and meetings etc.etc.etc...one to journal as I am a teacher and this helps me to remember the day...and then I have a small one for my clutch bag
Ma'aam, YOU ARE AMAZING !!! I LOVE the GOLD. I decided in Oct 2016 to change to GOLD colors to keep me engaged and I love the privacy tips. Thank You for sharing. This video definitely provided great value for me !!! Infinite Blessing to you.
Just subscribed today ! Loving your videos . I'm looking into doing a planner and found this really helpful . You really are the most organised lady ever . Definitely life goals xx
Great tips and planners I definitive need to have a plan for this year. I have 3 girls, my husband and 3 dogs at home and that will help significant for starting my days. They all have different things to do and it just makes me forget things.
good advice about not jumping in full throttle in the beginning. I did that, after spending oodles of money realized the Personal size was too small! so i spent even more money on the A5 size and that's working much better for me.
I love the idea of how you have combined home/work. I have been trying to work out a system that lets me use the one planner, I will have to try it this way. Thank you, Nikki!
Love your planner Nikki. I purchased an EC planner for this year. I too love beautiful pens. You gave awesome tips for organizing your life. Thank you for sharing.
I share you feelings on clean and simple planners with just enough extras to make them pretty and functional. I've been a Franklin-Covey gal almost forever... but I started out slow, like you recommended, before I invested in a really nice planning system. Great advice, as per usual!
I am using the Recollections planners because they are so reasonable in price. I got all of mine 1/2 price. I have them in 9 different colors. I usually change them out every 2 months. I get bored looking at the same color. I don't change purses though. I have a black one and a tan one. I am sure it would be different if I didn't stay at home all the time. I got some very good ideas on what to add to my planner from your video. Thank you Nikki.
I love this video. You are to the point and not fumbling during the demonstration. I didn't know planners were such a big thing. I haven't carried one in years now that everything is online but thanks to you; I may start. Danka!
Hi Nikki I'm fairly new to your channel. One thing I have to say. I love the fact you are so organize in your life. This has inspired me to get on board. Thank you😃💫
Nikki, I recently purchased a calendar that has worked for me in the past (Franklin Covey), and then went straight to UA-cam to hear from you. I needed some pointers and clarity, and you gave me that and more. Thank you so very much. By the way, you look fabulous, absolutely gorgeous. Your hair, lipstick, and nail color are very flattering on you. You look so pretty. Anyway, Happy New Year, and thanks again.
I ordered my first Erin Condren customized with my own photos for the covers. Back one with all the grandies, and the front with my Aussie family and some inspiring scenery of Brissy. I am so excited and wish so much they would send it out soon & I can implement your tips. I have used other ones before. Can't wait to show you it. They call these "Diaries" down under.
TY! You have a beautiful, neatly organized planner. I like that u have a place to write down references. I have a place in my planner for that too - it is one of my tabs, not a separate book like you have.
I totally agree to not rush and start off slow. Don't get caught up in the decorating and miss the goal of planning and staying on task with priorities.
Oh Thanks so much for this video - I love it! I started a UA-cam channel a few months ago, I work a few hours a week, am busy with lots of church things and have a toddler running around the house. I feel like things can get overwhelming sometimes. I haven't ever tried using a planner seriously. That might just be my thing!
Thanks Nikki!!! for the video I've been thinking about planning and getting a planner I really needed to hear that take it slow thanks so much for sharing
Hi Nikki. I watched your great video today and learned a lot from it. One thing that intrigued me about your way of planning is that you have a separate tab for each of your priority levels. Does this mean then that you really don't use daily pages on which one would generally write down all the priorities for a particular day? I like this idea and would really appreciate if you could elaborate more on how you set this type of atypical planning up. Thank you.
Hi my friends happy new year to you and your family and thank you so much for sharing your experience and beautiful Ideas God bless you and your family my friends.
So excited to get back into my filo, your video made things feel SO much less overwhelming. Trying to plan with ADHD, it can be really hard to figure out where to start. Showing how, where and why you like to keep things was incredibly helpful. Fantastic volume control, wonderful and understandable speaking voice, and all around beautifully thorough video. Subscribed, and looking forward to watching you reach your goals! I cannot wait to show my friends your channel!!!
I love the way you plan and try new things, especially the meal planning you'll be trying out! Now I would l to try that too! So elegantly beautiful! You're such an inspiration! Thank you! 💐
This makes me so happy!! I absolutely love anything stationary. Pens, planners, paper clips, stickers, folders, I love it all. I'm so glad I found your channel. Your planner is gorg! I'm subscribing.
Thanks for sharing! Love the black and gold! So far I have always been using a very simple and small planner for work, writing in it in pencil because people tend to change appointments. I generally jot down some private things here and there but it's true that it's a challenge, for the privacy issue and not to make it too cluttered. I bought a second planner this year hoping to start using it for my personal goals, but have not started yet, a bit intimidated. take care and happy new year!
I'm so glad you said that your business and home combined does not work for you, because I have tried this various times and has never worked. You are great thanks for all you great inspiration.
I use a small planner that I can carry with me at all time, Google calendar (on my phone) to work with small planner, and a detailed planner for school and work (that stay in my backpack or at home).
Your planner is so beautiful and classy I imagine it reflects you too. You also have some original ideas - like the hair pins as bookmarks - which i love, thanks.
Thank you for the tips on using a Planner I often use my iPhone but after watching your video I'm definitely considering buying a planner. I love how organized you are, I have to start being more organized specially now that I'm starting a business. Looking forward to more videos. I'm interested in learning how you shop for groceries online.
Hi Nikki As I stated in another vedio I'm relatively new to your channel and boy have I been missing out! Yes I'm easily drawn in by paper products, gizmos and tiny gadgets; so I'll have to pace myself. Nonetheless I'm looking forward to learning more about the benefits of using planners properly. You've helped me greatly in that regard. Thank you for sharing your talents and time in this way; it's needed. Regina
Nikki great video! Your planner color scheme is so sharp, I love it. Very professional, sophisticated and chic. I really appreciate this style, there are lots of "cutesy" planner folks Out there. Been looking for the type of style you rep. Thanks again!
Always love your videos! You have such great ideas! This video - wow! Hairpins! Such a creative re-use!!! Also, the notecards! Oh my goodness! My husband and I get SO many note cards from charitable organizations - never can write that many letters these days, so I will use them to write notes to myself! Also, love the idea of combining professional and personal planners into one. YOU should market that idea!!! Not sure I will use a planner that can use inserts like that, but it is a wonderful idea! (I remember you shared a video where you had two wallets - will have to search for that one, too.) So, off to plan I go! Thank you! Happy New Year!
I love planning! I've been doing it for years, now I'm intrigued with the decorating aspects! So much pretty stuff!! You always have such great ideas!! Hugs, Tmika
I never had a planner. I want to have one soon but looking at this video it all seems very overwhelming. I appreciate the tip for beginners, which is of course start from a simple one. I might do that. Your planner is to me like going from biking to flying. :) I also try to live minimalistic and zero waste lifestyle, so definitely no stickers, tapes and all kinds of things I would have to throw away someday. It will be hard, I know...
Hi Nikki - I have never had a planner, as such, but I'm forever buying little note books and making lists. A planner looks so much more organised and I may have to investigate this idea in more detail!! Love your videos and your whole outlook - I struggle at times when things get too much and there are days when I don't know where to start, but I've been subscribed for a little while now and I'm looking at previous vlogs too and I have been inspired by some of your ideas Nikki. You're really good at what you do - blessings for the new year. Ps I've also subscribed to your newsletter x
Hello Nikki - I'm trying planning for the first time and absolutely LOVE this video. Thanks for the pearls of wisdom regarding not rushing. HNY from a new fan follower!
Wow, great video! I wish I would have watched it before I went to Michaels because I got overwhelmed. Almost all the planning things were so cute, and I wanted to buy everything lol. I'm going to use these tips to organize the things I bought. God Bless
Yay!!! Been hoping you would do a new planner video soon!! Been on Amazon and Michaels's looking thru the different planners. You look beautiful as always.. Happy New Year!!
Happy Bless New Year Nikki and family. I started viewing YT the last quarter of 2016. u were the 1st site I viewed. I also have purchase several item that u suggested for my office, kitchen, patio. we have a 6/4 home and it's hard organizing at times (smile). Nikki I would like to see do do a site on Louis Vuitton planner, passport cover, I pad case. it's also nice to know that Dios calls his Saints to meet.
I hear you Business and home planners have never meshed. I decided in Dec. to do the same thing and try to combine them. What I have come up with is a planner for both at the moment and a master planner that covers both.
Great advice!! I invested in a Erin Condren planner, big mistake, I seldom used it, oh well, I will think things through before such an expensive purchase. I use a small purse size date book, it works great!..
You are so inspirational. I am 21 year old woman beginning to work on my future career plans. I love using your videos as a resource as you just seem to be such a strong leader! Thank you for setting an example for young women like me! Much love.
Hi Nikki... I have been following your channel for 2 years and just love, love, love every video you make. You have helped organize my home! I am so grateful. Thanks

Jill Bauer have you tried a digital planner? I just put one on my iPad Pro and I'm loving it. :)

Last year I was in Goodwill and came across a brand new Filofax A5. It was purple leather from the U K and was still in the package. I paid $3.92 cents for it. I don't write in it that much because my handwriting is not nice, but I love holding it.
Buttersweet1 You struck gold. Hooray 🎉 (from a fellow thrifter ;))
Wow! You got lucky! You should use it!
Too cute!
send me a picture if can
The thought of you and Toni out to lunch together makes me happy. That's a lunch I'd love to be a part of!
Ms. Nikki, could you please share where you purchased the pens that are shown in your video? I have been searching all over for pens like that, for my planner, and can not locate them. Also, nice looking pens with red ink. Thanks!

I found 3 ring planner insets for my Dayrunner at the Target dollar spot for $3!! Daily pages. Dividers etc! I'm sure they could be hole punched to fit more than 3 rings. Just FYI for anyone looking for budget friendly options.
Leanne Salgado They fit perfectly with my Franklin Covey planners as well

Hi Nikki! You are really an epitome of very organize woman. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoy watching this video. You nailed it. God bless.
I love the way you organize your live.
Love the idea of using the little pocket planners for menu planning. Went to Target today and picked up a couple of them. I love your ideas!
I really like the idea of a small planner to use for meal planning! Such a simple efficient solution to implement this in my planner, I love it!
Nikki, I recently purchased a calendar that has worked for me in the past (Franklin Covey), and then went straight to UA-cam to hear from you. I needed some pointers and clarity, and you gave me that and more. Thank you so very much.

Love the idea of priority tabs for my planner. I might give that a try.
Your tips and planner looks are so classy, just like everything else you do! I love that your use of stickers is minimal.
TY! You have a beautiful, neatly organized planner. I like that u have a place to write down references. I have a place in my planner for that too - it is one of my tabs, not a separate book like you have.
I totally agree to not rush and start off slow. Don't get caught up in the decorating and miss the goal of planning and staying on task with priorities.
Oh Thanks so much for this video - I love it! I started a UA-cam channel a few months ago, I work a few hours a week, am busy with lots of church things and have a toddler running around the house. I feel like things can get overwhelming sometimes. I haven't ever tried using a planner seriously. That might just be my thing!
Thanks Nikki!!! for the video I've been thinking about planning and getting a planner I really needed to hear that take it slow thanks so much for sharing
Hi Nikki. I watched your great video today and learned a lot from it. One thing that intrigued me about your way of planning is that you have a separate tab for each of your priority levels. Does this mean then that you really don't use daily pages on which one would generally write down all the priorities for a particular day? I like this idea and would really appreciate if you could elaborate more on how you set this type of atypical planning up. Thank you.
Great tips Nikki! All of the planners are so beautiful. I just posted my planner setup for 2017 on my channel. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! I will have to check your video out! Can you believe 2017 is here already! Hugs and Love Nik
Hi my friends happy new year to you and your family and thank you so much for sharing your experience and beautiful Ideas God bless you and your family my friends.
So excited to get back into my filo, your video made things feel SO much less overwhelming. Trying to plan with ADHD, it can be really hard to figure out where to start. Showing how, where and why you like to keep things was incredibly helpful. Fantastic volume control, wonderful and understandable speaking voice, and all around beautifully thorough video. Subscribed, and looking forward to watching you reach your goals! I cannot wait to show my friends your channel!!!
I love the way you plan and try new things, especially the meal planning you'll be trying out! Now I would l to try that too! So elegantly beautiful! You're such an inspiration! Thank you! 💐
This makes me so happy!! I absolutely love anything stationary. Pens, planners, paper clips, stickers, folders, I love it all. I'm so glad I found your channel. Your planner is gorg! I'm subscribing.
You have a perfect system for everything 😍 Your are my idol ❤ Lots of love and have a great weekend 😙😙😙
lottayogaa I know right. I have that WOW factor goin on.
lottayogaa I agree I want to be Nikki when I grow up lol!
Wow, I really like the way you combined work and personal. I have to try that!
Thanks for sharing! Love the black and gold! So far I have always been using a very simple and small planner for work, writing in it in pencil because people tend to change appointments. I generally jot down some private things here and there but it's true that it's a challenge, for the privacy issue and not to make it too cluttered. I bought a second planner this year hoping to start using it for my personal goals, but have not started yet, a bit intimidated. take care and happy new year!
I'm so glad you said that your business and home combined does not work for you, because I have tried this various times and has never worked. You are great thanks for all you great inspiration.
That color coordination, though! I'm inspired. Thanks for sharing.
I use a small planner that I can carry with me at all time, Google calendar (on my phone) to work with small planner, and a detailed planner for school and work (that stay in my backpack or at home).
Your planner is so beautiful and classy I imagine it reflects you too. You also have some original ideas - like the hair pins as bookmarks - which i love, thanks.
Thank you for the tips on using a Planner I often use my iPhone but after watching your video I'm definitely considering buying a planner. I love how organized you are, I have to start being more organized specially now that I'm starting a business. Looking forward to more videos. I'm interested in learning how you shop for groceries online.
I too love the use of planner and thanks to you ,I halve it organized and beautiful as well.
Hi Nikki
As I stated in another vedio I'm relatively new to your channel and boy have I been missing out!
Yes I'm easily drawn in by paper products, gizmos and tiny gadgets; so I'll have to pace myself.
Nonetheless I'm looking forward to learning more about the benefits of using planners properly.
You've helped me greatly in that regard.
Thank you for sharing your talents and time in this way; it's needed.

Nikki great video! Your planner color scheme is so sharp, I love it. Very professional, sophisticated and chic. I really appreciate this style, there are lots of "cutesy" planner folks Out there. Been looking for the type of style you rep. Thanks again!
I'm sooo happy i found you! like I'm just in awe at your creativity. thank you for making all your videos!
Always love your videos! You have such great ideas! This video - wow! Hairpins! Such a creative re-use!!! Also, the notecards! Oh my goodness! My husband and I get SO many note cards from charitable organizations - never can write that many letters these days, so I will use them to write notes to myself! Also, love the idea of combining professional and personal planners into one. YOU should market that idea!!! Not sure I will use a planner that can use inserts like that, but it is a wonderful idea! (I remember you shared a video where you had two wallets - will have to search for that one, too.) So, off to plan I go! Thank you! Happy New Year!
Perfect timing!! I'm so ready for my 2017 planners. Thanks for the great tips, Nikki!
2 videos in one day?!!! Yayyy ❤️👏🏻👏🏻
Yes, those little planners @ Target are awesome! I have another type for the desk. Thanks for all your great tips.
Such fabulous ideas. I especially love the suggestions for other uses for hair pins and greeting cards.
I love planning! I've been doing it for years, now I'm intrigued with the decorating aspects! So much pretty stuff!! You always have such great ideas!! Hugs, Tmika
I never had a planner. I want to have one soon but looking at this video it all seems very overwhelming. I appreciate the tip for beginners, which is of course start from a simple one. I might do that. Your planner is to me like going from biking to flying. :) I also try to live minimalistic and zero waste lifestyle, so definitely no stickers, tapes and all kinds of things I would have to throw away someday. It will be hard, I know...
Hi Nikki - I have never had a planner, as such, but I'm forever buying little note books and making lists. A planner looks so much more organised and I may have to investigate this idea in more detail!! Love your videos and your whole outlook - I struggle at times when things get too much and there are days when I don't know where to start, but I've been subscribed for a little while now and I'm looking at previous vlogs too and I have been inspired by some of your ideas Nikki. You're really good at what you do - blessings for the new year. Ps I've also subscribed to your newsletter x
Hello Nikki - I'm trying planning for the first time and absolutely LOVE this video. Thanks for the pearls of wisdom regarding not rushing. HNY from a new fan follower!
This is so crazy. I am new to planning and organizing and was wondering where to start and then you popped up on my feed! Thanks for all you do!
I hope it works out for you. I'm not a planner person but I am thinking about it for 2017. thanks for sharing.
Wow, great video! I wish I would have watched it before I went to Michaels because I got overwhelmed. Almost all the planning things were so cute, and I wanted to buy everything lol. I'm going to use these tips to organize the things I bought. God Bless
Your planner is so beautiful, I use the bullet journal method and that works well for me
Nikki, what do you do with past years' planners? After a while you gain a BUNCH! I AGREE TO go less expensive...
great job nikki this has literally changed my life thank you so much for these tips my life would be so messy without u
You are on a roll! Thank you so much for these videos. They are making my mental transition to managing my new home with my future husband easier!
Yay!!! Been hoping you would do a new planner video soon!! Been on Amazon and Michaels's looking thru the different planners. You look beautiful as always.. Happy New Year!!
Thank you so much! Happy New Year Lena! Hugs and Love Nik
Happy Bless New Year Nikki and family. I started viewing YT the last quarter of 2016. u were the 1st site I viewed. I also have purchase several item that u suggested for my office, kitchen, patio. we have a 6/4 home and it's hard organizing at times (smile). Nikki I would like to see do do a site on Louis Vuitton planner, passport cover, I pad case. it's also nice to know that Dios calls his Saints to meet.
Great job, love it. I will be a planner soon. I still have my turquoise planner for spring now I need a black one.
I hear you Business and home planners have never meshed. I decided in Dec. to do the same thing and try to combine them. What I have come up with is a planner for both at the moment and a master planner that covers both.
Great advice!! I invested in a Erin Condren planner, big mistake, I seldom used it, oh well, I will think things through before such an expensive purchase. I use a small purse size date book, it works great!..
Great video..... I have use planner for a long time, and I start using my phone.. I am returning to my planner..Thank you for your information .
