One Book July Update/Flip Through

So I didn't post a video of my set up for One Book July. I just did a short blog post about what I was doing, what I was using, and what I hoped to get out of it.

The time has come for my first official Planner Flip Through! I'm so excited...and nervous at the same time. This is my first time putting myself out on the Internet like this, so please be nice. If all goes well, I fully plan on putting out more content like this in the future.

This video will explain my set up for One Book July in a little more detail and serve as an update for my initial One Book July blog post. I hope you enjoy!

These are my confessions...

I’m fairly new to the planning community. I’ve actively been keeping a planner for about a month now; and it has been so helpful in my everyday life. You see, I’m the type of person who forgets everything if I don’t write it down. So having a planner by my side has been essential. My planner is literally my new best friend! At first, I searched the internet for anything I could find about traveler’s notebooks, planners and inserts. I went to YouTube, Pinterest, Facebook, Instagram, Google, you name it! After some weeks of research I finally found something that was going to fit my needs. The only thing was that there was a noticeable lack of “planner dude” representation in the planner community; and I have to admit, it was a bit discouraging. Social media is bursting with blinged out planners with dashboards and charms and vellum and washi tape and acetate and embellishments and fancy paperclips and inserts galore…all beautiful, but not exactly my...

Unboxing - Travelers Notebooks by Jaileesplanning

A few days ago I received my package from JaileesPlanning . It was a handmade B6 travelers notebook; and I must say...I love it! Upon opening the package I was met with lovely, thoughtful packaging. The TN itself was wrapped in tissue paper with a shop label on the front. On the inside was a hand written note with a persoanlized envelope. Her travelers notebook are custom made with doubled layered, hand-sewn, faux leather and reinforced spine. Her Instagram account states that they "won't be perfect, but they are made with love." And indeed they are! I cannot get over how freaking cute it is. I had mine made with a secretarial pocket on the front and back covers and pen loop. She also included extra elastic that can be used as a jump band or replacement elastic for the TN. Overall, I think her description of the travelers notebooks is pretty spot on. The tiny imperfections; and the fact that they are sewn by hand, is what makes these traveler...

One Book July 2017

Allow me to introduce to you my brand new set up for One Book July 2017! This is my first year participating so I am very excited. Technically, I only ever use one planner for everything, but being that this year's theme is #gobigorgohome, I decided I would take the plunge and try a size that I have been wanting to try for a while. This personal sized Chic Sparrow is everything! It's a Deluxe Creme Brulee in the Creme leather. I'm obsessed with the color and smell! While I absolutely love the texture of it, I discovered that I actually prefer a more structured TN to use as my everyday carry. In addition to the new size, I decided I would add a few more embellishments than normal, just to see if it was something I could live with. The popular gold initial decal from Hobby Lobby found its way to the front of my first dashboard; and I absolutely love it! The ribbon clips; on the other hand, look really nice, ...
