Don't know about you guys, but I have to write things down or I will forget! I get so busy between personal life and my business, Gorgeous-Glamour, that I need a way to stay organized and keep everything together. I used to buy big, expensive, fancy organizers, and then last year I wised up and bought the one you see pictured below. It was the best move I’ve made to stay organized! It easily fits in my purse, or I can carry it and throw it on the seat next to me in the car so I never feel like it's too much to carry. It’s stayed in great shape, and I actually used it since it's so portable. I like the different sections too. I used the first monthly calendar, with smaller spaces, to stay organized on things I have coming up; dinners, Gorgeous-Glamour parties, Church events etc. Then I used the bigger monthly calendar spaces, (located just behind the smaller calendar spaces) to write down notes about my day, like a short journal. "I went to lunch with Kayla and we had a great time catching up on old times", etc. etc. That way, I can look back and reflect on my life during the past year! There is also a note section with each month so I can write my to-do lists and cross them off as they are done, of course!
I just happen to find this pink style! I used to not be a fan of pink, but in the past year, I’ve become just crazy about it...so I got a little excited when I found this!
Make sure you write your name and phone number (not your address) in the front so that if you do lose it, hopefully someone will call you.
Also, I like to carry some things with me, like pictures, or various papers, and there is no way to do that here. However, I found and added these sticky pockets http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/576324/Avery-PocketTabs-12-Page-Pocket-5/, they have never come off, and they keep things in my organizer nicely. Please note-I couldn't find the exact pockets that I had bought before; look for ones that will fit and definitely stick. I like the clear ones. I have one on the inside cover and one on the back (inside though).
Well, I hope you liked this blog, even if it wasn't about makeup! This organizer/planner will help you in so many ways. It's so nice to have my personal and my business things together. Yes, I know… most of you use your cell phones, but I like a good old fashion paper and pencil!!!
You can get this at Office Depot or Staples for around or under $15.00.
The one I bought last year was a "Day Runner".
The one I bought this year doesn't have a brand. They both seem similar, except this one that doesn't have a brand, (just has 2013 on the cover), already has one pocket inside. I can't find them online to link you. SORRY. Just ask about the planners when you go in. I usually find them in a separate space right outside of the aisles! I think organizers are typically the big, bulky ones that close. The planners are the ones like I am showing you here.
Hope you enjoy!
