Carrie Elle Planner Review

I know I could put all of my task lists and appointments on my phone, but in my paper-loving opinion,  there's just nothing that beats a good old fashioned paper agenda. I've always been one to love paper goods, and I lived and breathed by my agendas throughout high school and college. I truly remember things better when I write them down.

For the past year or two, I had gotten away from using a planner regularly. Since my Monday-Friday usually consists of going to work for the majority of the day, its possible that I simply didn't feel the need to write things down as much as I did when I was a full-time student. However, I really want to get back into the habit of planning. Whether it be planning my blog posts, work meetings, or our daily meal plan, I want to strive to live a more organized life!

Is there anything better than a beautiful, high quality planner to get you back in the planning swing of things? I was recently sent the Carrie Elle Perpetual Planner in the buffalo check pattern, and to say I love this planner would be an understatement. I will say that it is a decent sized planner, and it's probably not something that you would toss in your handbag on the daily. However due to the larger size, there is plenty of space to write assignments and appointments.

I've really been enjoying the quality and functionality of  the Carrie Elle Perpetual Planner, and I wanted to share my review  and encourage you to check it out if you're on the market for a new agenda or juts want to get organized like me!

• My favorite thing about the Perpetual Planner is that it's not dated. I LOVE this feature, because it allows me to start the planner whenever I want (Also because sometimes I slack and don't plan things for weeks, and I can write in the dates so it keeps me from wasting pages!) 
• Can we just talk about the cover? It's what my southern, buffalo check loving dreams are made of. 
• The paper is thick and high quality - two essential features in a good Agenda! 
• I really like the layout of the weeks. There's plenty of room to make a task list for each day, write in your appointment or assignments, and set goals for the week. 
• There are inspiring quotes all throughout the planner to give you motivation for each week! 
• I really like the little box underneath the day in the weekly layout for writing in our meal  for that day. I'm not the best at meal planning, but it is something I want to get better at (check out my friend Jess's Menu Monday series or Amy Darly's Youtube videos if you need inspiration like me!) 
• Each day on the weekly layout is broken down into three sections: morning, afternoon, and evening. There are plenty of lines for your to write in appointments, assignments, things to do, your food journal, meal plan, etc. 
• Each weekly layout also has a goals for next week, weekly gratitude, positive affirmations, journaling and notes section. This is such a great addition to a regular weekly layout that causes you to slow down for just a few minutes to take time to reflect on the week.

Thank you, Carrie Elle, for making a beautiful and functional agenda! If you're on the market for a new planner, I highly recommend checking out Carrie Elle's website, and let me know if you have any other questions about this product!
