Planners for 2016

This past year, I wrote a post about agendas and featured a few different options.  You can read up on that post here.

Last year, I ended up purchasing an Erin Condren Life Planner for myself, which I really loved.  I could have used it more though...  Nowadays, I use Google Calendar for just about everything, but there is something to be said for hand writing everything out.  

For 2016, one of my (many) goals is to be more intentional about actually using the planner.  I haven't decided whether I want to do another Erin Condren planner  or if I try something like the Happy Planner.

Below are a few planners I hadn't featured last year...

This is a Ban.do Planner.  These are quirky and fun - and, there's always a lot of anticipation before planner designs come out.  Currently, these planners are not available on the Ban.do website, but they are out there if you Google it. 

The Happy Planner is an excellent option when it comes to being cost effective (they are 50% off right now and are regularly $24.99)...  I love the foiled metallic designs and there are so many accessories out there that you can add to this planner.  Find it online or in craft stores like Hobby Lobby. 

I love this Lilly Pulitzer Elephant designed planner.  And, I was thisclose to buying a notebook in the same print.  The only thing that kept me from it was the fact that the metallic had rubbed off one of the notebooks in the store.  Since it isn't laminated like Erin Condren, it's not built to withstand the wear and tear.  It is still very cute though!

Kate Spade is one of my favorite designers (quirky, yet classic at the same time!).  I actually owed this agenda, but never really used it.  The paper is a thick and high quality, however, will warn that the metallic dots do rub and scratch off if you're not careful.

I'll be sure to update you with whichever planner I end up going with... right now, it's looking like it will probably be an Erin Condren again!  What planners do you use?
