personal planner | cocoa daisy june 2019 turned december 2019

Personal planner change of mind take two, haha!  If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out my blog post from yesterday,  I purchased the gorgeous June 2019 insert and sticker kit from Cocoa Daisy.  I'll tell you what, I re-filmed at least 301 times ok maybe 20, felt like 301, haha.  I think the only other time I've done a voice over was on that app that was live, it was before stories on instagram, mmmm, I forget what it was called now?  It was some time back and I did a few of my memory keeping in my albums that were all about me and I think maybe one unboxing of a gossamer blue kit.  Maybe being live made it easier, I don't know, but I got there in the end.  Few mistakes in wording and what not, but meh, new, lol.  I decided to go with December 2019 instead of January 2020 as I, A. don't want to wait that long and B. saw the mood board for the new kit and feel it will suit summer in Australia.  So here is a filmed look at how it looks so far.

I didn't realise until going over what I'd filmed.  I got my nails done this morning, I have a wedding this Friday and the red was not going to match my outfit at all, and now they even match my planner, haha.  OH and the dashboard idea I mentioned came from Jennifer at @happyplaceplanning.

personal planner | cocoa daisy june 2019 turned january 2020

Eeeeek I'm so excited! My personal planner inserts and stickers from Cocoa Daisy arrived and already I just want to sit and plan and play.  Yeah look, more and more I'm completely understanding this planner gig.  Minda you I'm yet to learn all the planner lingo, but getting there slowly.  Check out the hyperlapse of what I got :

Now I'm sure you've picked up that it's for the month of June 2019.  BUT, down here in Australia we are entering into Summer next month and so my plan is to completely change this to the month of December 2019 or January 2020  I haven't completely decided just yet with another insert on the way. Can I do it? I guess we shall see huh!⁠  You know I'll be back with an update and I may even do a walk through with a voice over, eeeeek, nervous.

personal planner | meal planning

Learning more and more as I go about planners and planning and that you can add in your own inserts, for what ever you like.  Like your weekly food shop with the menu planned for the week. I used [broken record moment], Cocoa Daisy freebie printable from August 2019. I've used my new fave alpha stamp set, Bishop Street from Kellie Stamps.

I find so many times that if I meal plan I tend to stick to the shopping list and don't over buy or under.  It's when I go food shopping with no idea on what we'll have that week that I get just a meal for that night, school snacks and the essentials and then just want to leave.  Knowing full well I'll have to go back tomorrow.  Meal planning just makes it so much easier.  Goals for 2020?  More meal planning.

Do you meal plan?⁠

personal planner | 2020 reading goal

I'm really loving the size of the personal planer so far. I'm also looking into the A5 style/size. Look just give me all the planners, haha! I want to try them all. ⁠ BUT for now, I love that it's small, but not micro small and then not too big at the same time. Perfect for my tote and on the go. ⁠ I always set a reading goal in the new year and 9 times out of 10, FAIL. Which I'm fine with that. I find I do most of my reading during Summer? Then stop for long periods of time. I'm the type of person that'll read 2-3 books in a row and then nothing for 3 months. No balance over here, haha.⁠ I thought it would be fun to have a place to have a list of either read or want to read. A great place to quickly jot down books suggested via IG, etc. That is how the idea for this insert came about.⁠ I've used the September 2019 printable, Book Club from Cocoa Daisy and the stamp set I designed, Read More from Kellie Stamps.⁠

Do you make a reading goal?⁠

carpe diem | personal planner | january 2020

Had a little play earlier today with my new personal planner from @carpediemplanners. With stickers from the seasons and numbers range. I've now got January all ready for 2020. Bring on Summer.⁠

carpe diem | personal planner | happy mail

Happy mail from @carpediemplanners. Yeah look, I've fallen into a planner hole. Also in my defense, they had a up to 75% off sale. Even with exchange rates, it was a bargain.  I had to get myself a personal size to try and I mean you need stickers right?  Can't go past cute stickers.  Okay maybe I have a problem.
