There are several reasons I’ve used Erin Condren planners for so many years.
5 REASONS TO LOVE ERIN CONDREN LIFE PLANNERS
1. STURDY – Erin Condren Life Planners are mighty sturdy and definitely do not fall apart before the year is over. That coil is heavy duty and the paper is nice and thick, great for markers and gel pens you want to use.
2. FUNCTIONAL – There’s plenty of extra space in the planner, including several note sections throughout, where you can really make the planner work for you and the different things you want to keep organized.
3. PRETTY – You can choose your covers and the designs inside are so appealing to the eye. I’m always more motivated when things look nice.
4. CUSTOMIZABLE – Get your name or initials on the cover. Choose your layout. Choose your interior design. You really can get this planner just how you want it.
5. USA MADE – I love that these planners are designed and assembled in America, hand-coiled and using superior Mohawk paper.
2023 ERIN CONDREN HELLO KITTY COVER
For 2023, I chose an adorable Hello Kitty cover that’s interchangeable…
unlike the vegan cover I chose last year. See below.
Yes, I may be in my forties, but I’m forever a Hello Kitty fan.
However, Erin Condren has dozens of covers to choose from. Pick your own favorite!
Here are the specs on my new 2023 planner.
COVER: HELLO KITTY & FRIENDS HAPPY CAMPER
Campers and Hello Kitty friends were just too adorable.
I tapped into my ten-year-old self and decided this was the one for me.
If I tire of it, I have plenty of old Erin Condren covers lying around my house, and I can change it out anytime!
COIL COLOR: PLATINUM
Even though you can choose other colors like gold, black, and rose gold…
those cost extra.
So I tend to choose the platinum (silver) coil, which is standard.
It’s still so shiny and pretty. I’m a fan.
This is what I pick most years.
LAYOUT: VERTICAL
Always vertical for me.
Having 4 sections for each day is a must for this busy mom.
Top boxes for appointments.
Bottom lines for meal planning.
Decorating and random info in the boxes between the two.
INTERIOR DESIGN: HARMONY NEUTRAL
Although colorful designs are available, neutral has been my favorite for a few years.
It matches any pens or stickers or washi I want to use.
And I just think the neutral colors are extra calming, which is much welcome these days.
CALENDAR: 12 MONTHS
January to December is my favorite.
Eighteen months is kind of bulky. I only ordered that once.
Plus, I like a new planner each new year.
2022 ERIN CONDREN VEGAN COVER
As I mentioned above, one reason I love Erin Condren Life Planners is that they are so customizable.
Here’s what I ordered for my 2022 personal planner.
COVER: VEGAN LEATHER
I picked the blush color.
Although the cover won’t be interchangeable like the plastic ones, I’m loving it!
It’s so feminine and sophisticated.
LAYOUT: VERTICAL
Always vertical for me.
Having 4 sections for each day is a must for this busy mom.
INTERIOR DESIGN: NEUTRAL
While I always like happy colors, neutral has been my favorite for a few years.
It matches any pens or stickers or washi I want to use.
And that makes my life easier. No wasting time deciding what will match the planner colors.
