Erin Condren Planner Review + Giveaway

I am super excited to share today's post with you! For the past month or two I have been talking about ordering an Erin Condren life planner. I was a little leery to order one since I couldn't actually see it in person AND it also came with a hefty price of $50.

 However, I decided to take the plunge and ordered my planner after hearing so many other people talk about how amazing it was and how much they loved theirs. 

Needless to say I am jumping on the bandwagon! I am IN LOVE with my planner and I have only had it for a short while. However, it seems to be fitting my needs perfectly.

This is my gorgeous planner, I chose the pattern Dahlia and you can find it HERE

One thing I will say about this planner is it is well constructed. This binding is heavy duty and seems like it will hold up to daily use very well.

Each planner comes with tabbed dividers that are laminated Again I was impressed here, these tabs are not going to rip easily at all. 

The planner comes with a 2 page monthly spread

I absolutely love how the stickers fit perfectly in the boxes. I am using the monthly spread to keep track of bills that are due, paydays, and any special occasions or appointments. The planner already comes with 2 sheets of blank stickers and 2 sheets of printed stickers. but you can also choose to add customized stickers (page of 60) for $5 or customized photo stickers, also $5

Following the monthly 2 page spread you will find your weekly pages, again a 2 page spread for each week. The weekly pages start off with Monday and end with Sunday. Personally I love having my weeks laid out this way as I like to keep my weekends together. The days for each week are broken down into 3 boxes (morning, day, and night) 

At the bottom of the weekly pages there are lined areas where you can plan out your meals, exercise, or daily do's. I am choosing to color coordinate this area and am strictly using it for my meal planning and exercise. I love having this on my weekly pages and makes it quick and easy to plan out everything I need for the upcoming week.

Near the back of the planner you will find 2 pockets where you can tuck in notes, recipes you want to try, or bills to pay later. Really the pockets can be used for anything! I currently am using them to hold my stickers and address labels.

...and last but not least (and probably my favorite thing about this planner) is the zippered pouch where you can store just about anything. This is a great place to tuck stamps or your pens, or even receipts from the week. I absolutely LOVE that this is in the planner and it really comes in handy to store little things that may otherwise get lost.

Overall I would say this planner is a must have and is so worth the price. I could not be happier with my purchase and can not wait to continue using it and sharing it with you throughout the year. 

Also a special thank you goes out to ErinCondren for their generosity in providing a $50 gift certificate for one of you to purchase your very own planner or any of their other amazing items over on their site.
