Planning Summer Essentials

Hello Lovelies!

I am super excited for the next three months. I have no work! Although, I do have my Master's classes until June 28th and I am working on my thesis. I still don't have any obligation to wake up early or be anywhere! This brings me to have some downtime to really get journaling and reflecting. Planning may be on the back burner, but it's a quick way to keep me being productive during my summer vacation.

I put together a list of some essential items that I have been using and will continue to use. It's easy to over think the supplies you need for journaling and planning.

All you really need is maybe a notebook, some pencils, and you're good! If you do like other ephemera you can use that too!  Here is what I use during the summer. Of course these are only the essentials things I take on the go (it may be a lot but I can't help it!)

Like I said, above is what I take everywhere with me for those "just in case moments".

The owl bags are from Papaya Art 
The Glasses Sticker Book is from The Reset Girl
The Stripe one is from Walmart
The Micron Pens and Staedler Pens are from Amazon
The Project Life Cards are from Wamart
The Washi Tape is from Hobby Lobby
The floral Washi is from The Planner Society Kit 
The two notebooks are from my absolute favorite shop:

The Micron pens are amazing because they hold up really well with watercolors :) You can either watercolor first and then write or vise versa! 

The Staedler pens are a great way to add quick color to your pages! I use them to highlight my lettering and to color in the weather trackers ;)

Sticker binders where all the rage and I bought this cute little one from Cori at The Reset Girl shop a while ago. The one below is from walmart for $1. I love adding my new stickers in them and they are easy to put in my planning bag! (stickers shown are from a cute little etsy shop Hurry Up & Plan

The watercolors are so simple and I actually "borrowed" them from my classroom! It is a plain crayola set and I love the color options! 

The Pen can be found HERE

So I said that you can use any old notebook for journaling/planning and that'll be fine. It will be! But from my experience unless my notebook is pretty and something I want to hold and-lets face it- sniff sometimes, I won't use it often. This is where my ever favorite Foxy Fix Notebooks come in.

I love these notebooks so much. They are customizable for your own style.

Whatever you use to journal. It doesn't matter as long as you're putting something on paper. Put your thoughts and your memories. 

Have a great time this summer!
