Why I'm No Longer Purchasing from Erin Condren

  I'm fully aware that some people might not agree with me on this topic, but I really need to share my experiences with Erin Condren as well as my opinions on why I do not plan on purchasing from this brand any longer.  Customer Service Good customer service is what makes a company, and unfortunately that is NOT Erin Condren's top priority. My personal experience with the customer service has been half and half. The policies and responses to customers is never consistent which makes me believe they make do not have any rules and guidelines for dealing with customer issues.

This brings me to my personal size planner, I use a Kate Spade Wellesley planner which can be bought at the Kate Spade Outlet stores (these outlets will ship to you so call around if you don't live close to one and are interested). Currently as pictured above I am using the red version which was re-released this Summer, and I also have a black version which is always in stock....

Am I driving you all crazy yet with my Erin Condren updates? Well, I'm sorry, but I'm obsessed. And to be honest, they probably aren't stopping anytime soon. Tomorrow is the first day of the second month I've had my Erin Condren planner, and I'm already deep into my decorating. 

Review! Erin Condren Life Planner 2014-2015

It is finally here! I've been waiting so impatiently for this bad boy to arrive, and it is here just in time for July. A couple of weeks ago, Erin Condren started preorders for the 18 month life planner, and I couldn't wait. This is my first year owning an Erin Condren planner, and I'm very excited to share my thoughts, organization, and ideas with you all. 

How to Organize your Monthly Planner

If anyone is like me, you can't live without a planner. I swear I look at mine about 10 times a day. I keep everything in this baby. From work, to bills, to blog post, to birthdays. Nothing is going to slide past me! The specific planner I have isn't my favorite, but my organization has really seemed to work great for me the last few years, so is love to share some tips with you.
