2015- 2016 Erin Condren Life Planner Review


Hey ! Welcome back! 

So first let me start off by saying how much I LOVE this planner. For a long time when I was younger I used to use paper planners then I switched to my iPad. I love the calendar on my iPad but it just wasn't as colorful as i'd want it, so I went on a hunt. That's when I found this beauty! The Erin Condren Life Planner. Now some may say someone would be crazy to purchase a book with sections for 60 bucks, but the functionality is endless! (and plus I used a coupon! LOL)

So lets start off with the review. I first started getting into the Erin Condren Life Planner lines because I was looking for a creative way to plan my wedding. I am a scrapbooker and if i cannot use my washi tape on something I AM NOT SOLD. I was dazzled at all the amazing images that I saw on instagram and how the ladies of the planner community decorate their planners, so I got one. Not many had the wedding planner so I was still stuck but I was dedicated to waiting for the new rose gold planners. (who doesn't love rose gold, right?!) The planner comes in gorgeous boxes, they sent me pink (blah). I wished I had gotten purple, but that didn't stop my excitement!  




Isn't it so beautiful? So this year, with all the hype of the new rose gold Life Planner, there were some screw-ups when it came to people receiving the right orders and perfect planners. I am in no way bashing the Erin Condren company but I would think that for the price we pay for these things, when we receive then, they would be heavenly perfect. The only issue I had with my planner was that the coil, in some parts looks as if it was painted with rose gold spray paint and on some parts of the laminated cover was sort of cracked and tearing. The cover won't be an issue for be because the company sends you a $10 coupon to use to buy a new personalized cover which I was planning on doing anyways but the coil is going to bother a perfectionist like me. I already emailed the company and I'm just waiting on their reply. 




Erin Condren always sends a little extra with her planners so with this one came a mini planner (the peach colored book) which is like an on the go planner if you don't want to carry the bigger version around with you. There are also 3 thank you cards, 1 coil clip, 3 referral cards and a sampler sheet of stickers that Erin Condren makes. Personally, I would never purchase her stickers because they do look like something I can make myself (and center then way better may I add) and I mainly use washi tape. But I must say there are a lot of creative people on Etsy that sell stickers are are amazing. My favorite place to get washi from are WillowFields and Paperpanduh. Some of the washi shown are from Michael's. 


The reason why I love these planners are the way they are set up. If you type in the hashtag #eclp on instagram you will see how many creative ways there are to use one layout. I plan on making my own stickers for mine to spice up the color a little bit, but everything is gorgeous. There is a monthly spead as well as a weekly spread and it makes it hard to not stay organized. 




A few other things that come with this planner are a few sheets of stickers, a clip in ruler, a pocket in the back as well as a clip in pouch, and 18 months of full planning bliss. There are two choices. The 12 months, where it starts in January and the 18 months (since the planner release is in June ) which carries from July 2015 through December 2016. Although it is a little chunkie, I don't mind. 







The inspiring quotes that are placed all though out the planner are amazing and a joy to see. I hope that I inspired you all to think about getting a planner. They are an amazing way to keep your life in track as well as keep it creative.

Happy Planning!

VoxBox Review



Hey! Welcome back! Ok so I am  more than excited to do a review on this box, which is the campus box from a company called Influenster. They sent me this box free of charge to review all the products and of course I love trying new products so here I am! 


Let me just say, any company that is going to send me FREE CANDY I am available to jump over the moon for you (haha). Who doesn't love free candy right? 

If you guessed it just by looking at my picture, yes, its raining today. No, I am not happy about the rain but I am defiantly feeling better while eating these. Im munching on the Punchies as I write and I can say they are amazing! They aren't too sour but they aren't too sweet. They are colorfully rounded and chewy and are perfect. Punches are addicting and I promised to leave some for my fiancĂ© but I'm not to sure about that now! (haha). The rainbow straws are amazing. I usually buy the regular one flavored sour punch straws but now I will hunt these things down. They basically taste like the regular Sour Punch straws but different flavors. 

This face wash is HEAVEN on your face. I love the brand ST. Ives. I have only been using this for a week but I can see the difference and I can feel the difference. My face is smoother and defiantly more clear. I don't have that much acne or acne scars but there are one or two. The entire appearance of my face looks brighter and the best part about it, no irritation. I use this in the morning before the gym and at night before bed. Both times I've noticed that my skin has been better with the level of oils that come out (yes, even after the gym). By far I will defiantly be looking to buy this in the stores when it's done.  


I am a die-hard EOS user. I haven't used other lip balms in a while. But when I tried this one, I was actually surprised. Influents sent me  the fresh mint flavor and it taste exactly like that. It also has a fresh, cool feeling on your lips. Compared to EOS it goes on well and feels a little smoother than EOS. It taste like their sweet mint flavor. Packaging is adorable. It looks like a little ice cube. Much more likely to stay on my night table than my EOS and overall i would repurchase. 


Shampoo! I love shampoo! Specially when I don't have to buy big bottles and find out that I hate it after one wash. These sample sizes were perfect. Although I found washing my hair three different times a little time consuming my hair sure did appreciate it. I defiantly want to buy this just to see what my hair will look like once I wash it more often with this product but for now it did what it was supposed to do. I don't have curly hair, much more like wavy with some frizz but my hair defiantly looked different when I came out of the shower. It did feel a little heavier than normal but then again I rarely use conditioner. 


Last but not least is this. Sun tan mouse. I am dark enough, I didn't even think of trying this. I feel bad for waisting a full size of this so I passed it on to a friend. I will update this post later when she tells me if she likes it or not.


I love influenster and you should to! Go sign up or click here to see why you should sign up. I don't see why you wouldn't want to, who doesn't like free full sized samples of things and FREE CANDY. 

Anyways, hope you liked my review. Don't forget to follow me on twitter (fanamia_) or instagram (faneezahayatt). Tweet me things that you would like me to try and ill do it!
