I am generally not really into planning, as I tend to keep my planner very minimal and basic: only one color of pen, no stickers, no sticky notes. Yours are the only planning videos that I watch Ashley!! :) You're so organized, neat and you manage to personalize your planner without overdoing it, which is something that I really really like. Plus I always find your voice very calming, so I truly enjoy watching your videos!! :D
I was at work today, and looked up to see it was 11 a.m. I yelled, "OH MY GAWD!" and took off running to get my wallet and phone. My coworker said, "Forget to pay your phone bill?" You know you have a problem when you lose your freaking mind over being an hour late to order planner inserts. I'm going A5 Flex, again. And I ordered a crapload of other stuff. :) YAY! I'm so excited!
This year I stumbled upon the bullet journal system. I keep my journal really simple but if you've never heard if it before, I recommend looking it up. It's a whole other world. I still love watching your planning videos!
Love all your videos! Started using inkwell press this year after you reviewed your bound planner. Switching to A5 for 2017… just ordered that binder so gorgeous! Was browsing for a binder this morning, perfect timing! Can't wait to receive everything. Luckaty's shop is my favorite! Please keep these coming.
Yay, another Plan with Me video! My favorite, had to rewatch. A mutual friend of us helped me score an IWP A5 Classic. So excited to try the vertical layout in my binder. I purchased the Dewberry kit because of you. Oh, I love your new binder - it's gorgeous!
I'm finally switching over to the A5 from being a "bound" planner person. I'm so glad to hear that you didn't miss the extra writing space when you switched over to an A5. Now, I'm confident I made the right decision in switching over! Love all your planner videos, BTW! Appreciate you and this channel you've created. -Kat
I've been using a personal size for years now. I was a large ban.do planner for journaling. I've been considering since the beginning of this year to move into an a5 Filofax for 2017. Happy planning! 💜 📔
Love! I am going to order the Flex Bound for 2017, new to Inkwell Press which I learned about from you!! So excited since I have been watching all their launch videos via Facebook!! Woo Hoo!
I ordered the A5 inserts. I laugh when I tell the story, but inkwell press went live at 10a and my order was completed by 10:03! I was on a mission!!! My order has already shipped!
Love that you are a functional planner who adds a little something to your layout. I am a functional planner as well and really enjoy hearing about your system. I am going to get an a5 bound in flex. I have one now for personal and I also have the travelers notebook version for work. My daughter and I plan together and she recently got me hooked on the 365 planner stickers at Michaels. They are so affordable and adorable.
This year I am giving the Erin Condren Vertical Planner a go (after several years using a Lilly Pulitzer agenda which is a horizontal planner). I am really having fun being able to decorate my planner (so many etsy sticker options). While I am slowly getting used to planning in a vertical planner, I do think the horizontal style fits my planning better. I also miss the decorated Lilly-printed pages.
my girlfriends and I read that book for bookclub and watched the movie last night- LOVED IT! The acting really brought the emotion alive..good thing the movies are not crowded on a Tuesday night because there was audible crying and nose blowing from our section the whole time!
I just got the pretty pumpkin stickers in the mail this week. They are GORGEOUS! I am so excited for fall! And I ordered another FLEX IWP for 2017. The chevron wood grain was my fave. Found IWP a year ago online thanks to your videos. I have loved using it in 2016 and super excited about 2017.
Hi Ashley, I love the New Chapter Zyflamend blend which also contains turmeric. It is an anti-inflammatory blend that is wonderful! It contains holy basil, ginger, turmeric and a few other herbs that significantly reduce inflammation (i.e. aging!!). I love your videos...Kim
Something about September feels like a new year is starting. Maybe the back to school buzz still hits me as an adult. I was thinking of doing a detox or a Whole 30 this month too. I would love to see another health video because you always have great tips! Good luck this month!
Love these planning videos Ashley! This past year I've been using the Rifle Paper Co. planner, and I've really enjoyed using it! For 2017, I'm hoping to get one of their larger editions that were just released. The only thing I would have changed about the original was the size, so I'm excited about the new options! I do wish there were more sticker options available for it, though!
Hi, Lauren! The covers of the Rifle Paper Co. planners are so incredibly beautiful. I hope one year they will add some illustrations to the inside as well. Do you follow Anna Rifle Bond on IG? I'm obsessed with her new bathroom. 😍
I bought an Inkwell Press planner last year after seeing your videos. I am definitely purchasing one again this year. I've debated the A5 style, but I think I'm sticking with the bound flex. I also found Luckaty through your videos and am in love with their stickers! I bought a meal planner when they went on sale from Inkwell and can't wait to start using it!
I ordered the IWP Classic inserts for my A5! I am so so excited! I currently use an ECLP Vertical, but I love the goal setting aspect of the IWP, and I like that the daily columns aren't defined by times or sections. Also, LOVE your A5 binder! I may order one for myself!
Love your videos. Thank you! This year was my first year with IWP and I love their planners. Right now I'm using the a bound flex planner but for next year I am moving to the A5 classic inserts (we will see how this works-so used to the flex style). FYI - your new binder is beautiful. Great find.
*sigh* your plan with me videos make me want to start planning so much every time I watch one. I've been looking at the Happy Planner ones for a possibility for next year. Have you ever used one of them before? I've heard that they're pretty good and I'm thinking of going to Hobby Lobby to check them out tomorrow.
I missed out on the IWP bound planners last year, but ended up ordering the A5 quarterlys. I liked them enough, but I think I'll jump on the bound planner next week. I'm loving all your LucKaty stickers! Also, I read The Light Between Oceans and I am still having to gear myself up emotionally to see the movie. So good, but sooooooo heart wrenching.
So very pretty and neat! I have a new Kikki K Blush A5 I haven't used yet. I also have 2017 Erin Condren with umpteen covers to change out. My go with me are my Chicsparrow pocket or A6 travel journal. I love the chunkiness of them. If I could ever just decide on one!!
Right now I am using my first Inkwell planner which is the bound Flex...I love it but I am enticed by the A5's and how they allow you to be a little more custom/creative for storing things like notepads and such. Ugh such a tough decision! Thanks again Ashley, lovely video!
Gah! Such a great video and I loved being able to see the planner in action. A customer messaged me that she found my shop from watching this video, so thank you for sharing the planner love! I look forward to more of your plan with me videos...as now I am subscribed to your channel ;)
Very excited to get the new A5 inserts, and placed an order for the Flex ones, the weekly planner, and the new Post-Its this morning! Previously I'd been using my A5s in a Marion Smith binder in the office and ECP in the kitchen, but I just don't like the layout or paper as much for ECP, any more so I'm going to transfer anything important from the A5 onto the weekly planner. IWP seems to fit my style more. Knockout Printshop also has some great IWP stickers!
I have been with Inkwell since the beginning as well :). I am interested in the A5 and just got that to try something different. Will be getting the bound flex next week as well .... love Inkwell !!
I have been using the EC planner. I think for next year I will get the Inkwell Press Planner. I remember when you first stated using it and have always been impressed with it. I have the academic year, so mine ill not run out until next July, 2017 ! As always, love your videos~
I've been using my inkwell press classic for a year and I love it! I love that there are exactly 24 lines for the 24 hours in a day. However, it's just too big to carry around in my purse everyday so I'm think about going back to my beloved moleskine planner.
I love your plan with me videos. Again, it motivates me. However, I am just not as busy as you are, so it is a bit difficult. Maybe when my daughter gets older I will be able to use a planner more. Love the look, though, and of course, your videos!!
I decided to try out a Hobonichi planner for 2017. They're kind of like a planner and a bullet journal in one and I really like that you get a full page for each day. I love to write encouraging messages to myself when I'm having a rough day and most planners don't have enough room. I'm thinking of marking a section where I summarize the day or write down any thoughts. My only concern is the paper is pretty thin. I've heard it's amazing quality, but I'm not a fan of when pens ghost through the other side. I write in pencil a lot though, so if I stick with that it shouldn't be too bad.
So I didn't really understand that inkWELL had separate inserts and not just planners. This is my first year thinking of going for Inkwell so the more you can provide in your future Plant With Me's, would be great! :D I love how you organize everything. I do the same thing as you with a lot of tentative events.
I just ordered my second year of A5 Flex inserts this morning, plus two meal planners since they were sold out the last time I wanted one. And I also went from Erin Condren to Day Designer to Inkwell Press. Have you heard of The Reset Girl? She did an amazing line of accessories for Carpe Diem that I ordered from. Just figuring out how to make the best use of all my stickers, washi and doodads, but your videos have given me so many ideas, so thank you for that! Now I'm just wondering if I need that black floral binder. I had favorited it a while ago and seeing it in your video is tempting!
I just bought my A5 flex inserts from Inkwell and can't wait for them to arrive! Second year with the flex style. I would recommend trying the raspberry lemonade flavor of Calm, its tart but tastes good and I look forward to taking it. Love your videos!
Do you have a video about the ten day detox? If not I'd be very interested to see how it works and what it entails. P.S. Love your planing videos and your handwriting is so adorable!!!!❤️❤️❤️
I think it would be fun if we started a makeupTIA community FitBit Weekend Warrior challenge! I don't know how that would work to get us all together, but it would be fun being active together.
Love your new binder! I ended up ordering both inkWELL A5 sets and the coordinating Post-It notes. I work at my church and the weekends are usually pretty full, so I'm not sure if the Classic A5s will work. Definitely going to look into LucKaty's shop.
I got the Post-it notes too! How cool that they are actually Post-it brand? I always get sucked into buying the cute ones from Target, but they never stick well. Definitely check out Katy's sticker shop - just be warned - they are a little addictive. ; )
I love the idea of the a5 inserts but I've always used the bound because I don't know how I would store the previous year of inserts. How do you store yours?
Love your planning videos! I'm curious if you've ever used the Corie Clark Purposeful Planners? I have used Inkwell Press the last couple years and have really loved them... but have been contemplating switching it up this year. Just curious if you had any experience/thoughts. Thanks so much! :)
Great video! After much consideration (and watching and rewatching your plan with me videos) I decided to make the switch from EC to the Inkwell A5 flex inserts. I placed my order as soon as they launched today and the order has already shipped! BTW, I LOVE the idea of the cancelled/rescheduled stickers! Do you suppose she would make those available for others to order?
I personally love the purple one. It's my favorite. If only we could switch :) You're one of the big reasons I want to try Inkwell, by the time I decided last year they were sold out.
Love! Thank you. Can you slow down a tad bit? It's kind of hard to follow what you're saying. Thank you for sharing. I have found your channel very charming over the years. 🎀
