Hey y’all! Happy Sunday! I love Sunday mornings, it is so nice to just sit down and relax. Usually on Sundays my husband and I sleep in some. We then usually eat a light breakfast then run out for errands.
Starbucks is one of our first stops. We only allow us to get Starbucks on Sundays, or we would go broke. 😉 My husband always asked me if I want to run by Target. He knows me too well. 😉
One thing that I always sit time for on Sundays is to use my planner. Now, once I got married I realized how much I need a planner. Just writing everything down in a notebook did not help me.
Check out my YouTube channel for videos on these planners!
So I found the brand Day Designer at Target and now they are the only brand planner I buy. And I have bought it for three years!
My first one I loved the simple but chic design. It was pretty thin compared to the other two I have. That is because you planned your whole week out on two days. Now, the planners allow each day to have their own page.
Because I loved my first one so much, and I had started following Day Designer on social media, I looked online to purchase my next one!
The next one I got was the full size Day Designer. In a black and white spot print. One of my dream dogs to own is a Dalmatian, so that is what inspired me to get that print. 😉
This planner offered more room for writing. You had a two page calendar spread at the beginning of every month, plus a column on the side for notes. Each square for a day on the calendar was pretty spacious.
Next each day of the week had its own page. Monday had its own page, Tuesday had its own page, you get the picture. 😉 Saturday and Sunday are the only days that share a page.
Each weekly page allows room for your top three, due, dinner, dollars, don’t forget, to-do list, notes, daily gratitude, and section from 5am-9 am (7am. -7pm for smaller planners). All these sections help for planning my day!
For this past year June 2017- May 2018, I purchased the smaller planner in a palm tree print. Now it was an adjustment going from the larger one to the smaller one, due to the size of the page. But I still love my planner.
This planner offered the same options as my first one did in the layout of the page. Also they have helpful planning pages in the beginning of the planner like a chart over your top 5 values, strengths, and passions, your goals for the year involving helping yourself, others, academics, resources, and career. These charts help you make three, six, nine, and year long goals. Plus pages for notes!
I would share pictures of these but mine currently have writing on them, and I don’t want to share all my secrets. 😉
Some of my favorite stickers I have gotten so far! Thanks Meijer and Etsy!
Day designer is actually releasing their new mid-year prints today (Wednesday the 21st). as I’m writing this! I will be repurchasing one again this year. The ones that I like so far are the new secret garden print, the rosey posey (if they offer that in mid-year), or the black stripe. I know the black stripe print is kind of basic, but it also reminds me of a Kate Spade print. (Also, only if they offer it in the mid-year option).
They do have a new palm tree print coming out Antigua, but I think I’m done with palm tree leaves for a while. So far these are the only prints I have seen they are releasing, so check the website for more options.
Lastly, I’m not sure if I will get the full size or the smaller size this year, I’m still debating. But I will share what ever I get on my instagram page! Check me out on there – gracefullyfashionable.
So for all my planner girls out there, I recommend checking out this brand! I forgot to mention, their price usually ranges from $50-$60 dollars.
Hope everyone has a great day planning!
