Why The Happy Planner makes me happy.

     I feel like I have hit another big "blogging milestone." I have finally gotten a second agenda for all things blogging! It feels like such a huge relief to be able to keep everything to do with my blog separate from my school and personal life agenda- everything in one planner was getting to be too overwhelming! I have been loyal to Lilly Pulitzer agendas for school for the past few years, and they're definitely great for my school schedule. But for my blogging organization needs I knew that I needed a different and more detailed type of agenda!

     Enter The Happy Planner from me & my BIG ideas! (First off- how cute is the name?! The Happy Planner!) It is an agenda that is full of large spaces to write down everything your busy schedule (perfect for gals like me who have big and messy handwriting), bolded dates, days of the week and even times of the day, and most importantly, it's cute and totally customizable! The Happy Planner shop on me & my BIG ideas's website is filled with tons of agenda sticker options, changeable covers, insertable folders, and even more adorable accessories to make your planner absolutely perfect for you! 

     Take a look at the darling (and generous!) package that I received from me & my BIG ideas- so many fun goodies were inside!

     This past week, I finally started using my new blog agenda. Honestly- I don't know how I made it through three years of blogging without having a separate planner to write down all of my blog ideas, to-do's, and reminders! With my school agenda, I only ever write in black ink since I'm usually in a rush at the end of class, but with this planner, I decided to write different blogging tasks in different colored gel pens! Ex: sponsored posts are in red, fashion/lifestyle posts are in purple, and e-mails that I need to send are in royal blue.

     I have been writing out my week in blogging first in all of my gel pens, and then going back in and decorating with all of the cute stickers that me and my BIG ideas sent! 

     I am absolutely obsessed with my me & my BIG ideas The Happy Planner, and I will probably be purchasing one for next year since I love this one so much!
