Weekly Layout for EC Life Planner-July 2015

Hello my darlings, hope you all are doing fantastic. Today I have yet another EC Life Planner post. This one I am pretty excited about. These are my weekly layouts.
To see the first week and check out my first "plan with me post" click here.
Let's start with 7/6-7/12/2015

I wanted something fun, bright and colorful. As much as I love the red, white and blue from the first week, I wanted to spice this one up. I had some not so fun things going on this week, which was the main reason I wanted to make it fun and colorful.

 The next week is 7/13-7/19/2015

As you can probably tell this is the week I was going camping. I love camping! It kinda took over my planner for this week ;). Who needs room to plan anyway...ha ha ha j/k (well kind of).

There is a lot going on here but I've learned a thing or two that you guys will see coming up for August!

The final part of this week, the completed right side↑

 As you can probably tell I am just a "little" obsessed with my planner. Honestly I feel so much more organized. I already started into the August section since the last week in July is in the August section and I am learning so much as I go. I can't wait to share with you guys my August Monthly layout! It's my favorite yet.  It's literally only my second month owning this thing...ha ha ha. I am just super proud of it. I love that it allows my creativity to flow, that I get to share this with all of you that care to see it and I find it very therapeutic.#plannerjunkie

Thanks again for stopping by today, it means the world to me.

Much Love,

Plan with me #1 July 2015

Welcome to my first plan with me post. I have been having WAY too much fun decorating and planning. As you have seen in previous posts, I've done a few hauls and an unboxing. Click here to see the unboxing and to see how the planner looks plain. I started decorating this month with some washi tape and a few stickers. As seen above (monthly layout)

Here I started decorating my first weekly layout. I purchased the Erin Condren's horizontal view. I used washi tape again on this page plus some print outs to keep track of how much water I am drinking and indicating fireworks for the Fourth of July.

Then on the left side of my monthly layout I added Birthdays, a sticker for when I would be camping, plus a note flag to remind myself to refill my sons prescription.
(oh just wait for it, the planning has just begun).

Here is the right side (favorite side) of my life planner. Here I added a vacation banner made from washi tape, I added a scale to remind myself to weigh in and see my progress in my weight loss. I indicated my paydays & added more washi tape. To finish this off how cute are my little guys?! I googled these images and printed them and added them to my planner, they were the perfect final touch.

Here is my completed monthly layout. This includes all of my final touches and of course all of my reminders/tasks and to do's.

And here is my completed weekly layout ↑

I have some pretty amazing friends and their note made it on to my layout. 

Forgive my horrid penmanship, I didn't love the pen I used and plan on improving it.

This is the closeup of my completed right side of my weekly layout.

I love the thoughtful thought section so much, we need to remember to be thankful for what we have and to make everyday count!

We are almost done. I just wanted to include this little add on memo I made with my own version of a coil clip. All you need are filing tabs and a 1/8th hole punch. I watched a tutorial on YouTube and here is the front of it. I don't show the back because I have personal stuff on it, but this was made with plain card stock, washi tape and stickers. I love how it turned out. You can find all sorts of tutorials online and on YouTube. Save money and make your own, I am all about that DIY life ;)

Here is the last picture with my little add on. I really enjoyed decorating and planning guys. I know I will only get better as the time goes on. I will be posting weekly layouts soon, so stay tuned and let me know if you have any questions and lastly thank you for reading my blog.

Much Love,

Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye and Studded Kiss Lipstick Palette Review

Did you guys miss my makeup posts? I missed posting makeup stuff for you guys.
Here we have the gorgeous Shade + Light Eye Palette. OMG guys, I really don't need another matte palette but I "HAD" to have this! Not only do I consider myself the queen of warm shades, this also offers neutral and cool shades. Basically this is set up to be three quads, you will see them broken down below.

These are highly pigmented shades and blend out seamlessly! They're long wearing over a primer and don't fade or crease through out the day.
You don't have to stick to the intended quads, you can pretty much use any color in and of the quads and they work well together. This is not your usual matte palette guys this is a must have in your collection. This is so beautiful and rich in color payoff. I haven't been able to use it as much as I would like, but the few times I have, I've gotten a ton of compliments on my makeup and it's just perfection!

Next up is the Studded Kiss Lipstick in Love Craft. This I got a sample size from my Sephora perk points. I wanted to test out the consistency and the wear on these lipsticks before I purchased a full size one.  I am obsessed, I will be purchasing a few of her full size lipsticks. The pigmentation is on point and the lasting power is as well. The packaging is perfection, I love this packaging more then any of my other lipsticks.

Let's talk price, I purchased this palette at Sephora for $46 and the Studded Lipstick in a full size would cost you $21.
Here are some swatches for you guys.

Quad 1:
Laetus, Samael, Solas and Lucius 

Quad 2:
Lazarus, Saleos, Shax and Liberatus

Quad 3:
Ludwin, Succubus, Sytry and Latinus
Lastly here is one simple but beautiful eye look that I created, plus a lip swatch of Love Craft.

The Colors I used for this look were Laetus as an overall color, Lazarus as a crease defining color Saleos to deepen the crease, Liberatus as the pop of white on the lip and finished it off with a little Shax in the outer V to deepen the look at bit.

Ok so let's rate this palette.
Packaging: Beautiful, Kat Von D makes everything appealing to the eye.
Price: $46 Typical for a Palette, worth every dime especially with the amount of product you get.
Longevity: Lasts all day
Quality: Amazing. Perfect color payoff and little to no fall out.
Overall rating: A+
Side note, this rating also applies for the studded lipstick A+ all the way!

This is now officially my new favorite palette ever and that is saying a lot! It use to be the Too Faced Chocolate Bar, which I still love but Kat Von D out did herself with this palette. I love everything about it.

Alright my friends that does it for this long review, thanks for stopping by today.

Much Love Always,

Life Planner Haul #3

First of all I want to tell you guys that I have joined so many life planner groups on my social media and this not so little community is amazing. There are some wonderfully talented ladies out there. This life planner business is a serious addiction, I am in love with my Erin Condren Life Planner.
My excitement could not be contained to the point that I bought these late in the day and had to take pictures immediately in order to start using these bad boys. It's nuts!

The washi tape addiction is no joke! You have seen two other post of hauls, to reference it click here for post one and here for post two. All of the ones on the left side I purchased at Walmart with the prices varying from $1 two under $2. The one in the double pack is from Hobby Lobby, they had a sale and I got the double pack for $1.99. I wish I would have gone sooner because they were all almost gone. I really liked the one I scored with though.

The Months of the Year stickers were pretty cool, this was $6.99 BUT I used my 40% off coupon because this was the only item at Hobby Lobby not on sale. I love that they have a bunch of stickers pertaining to each month of the year.

Lastly can we talk about how stinking cute this storage box is? I could not pass this up, not to mention it was only a whooping $2. No seriously $2. Sad part is that I have filled my boxes, with stickers, washi tape and sticky notes.

Anyways guys, the addiction is serious, I know with 100% certainty that this will not be my last Life Planner Haul, hope you guys are liking it. I also plan to start a series of "Plan with me" where I decorate my planners and show case them for you.

Have a great week and thank you for visiting my blog today.

Much Love,
