My Daily carry around planner

Just wanted to share with you my new daily planner. I will be carrying around this slim planner in my bag. The brand is Busy B, and you can find it on their website http://busyb.co.uk/ or on amazon.

Things I love about this dairy:

• Slim - easy to fit in bag
• Band around - lose notes won't fall out
• Pen loop - Nice to carry a pen around with you at all times
• Weekly diary with note section every week
• Contact section
• Personal section
• Important numbers you might need
• Calendar 2015 and 2016
• The pattern on the dairy at the front

Things I don't like about this diary:

• the paper is thin so some pens will bleed through

Other than that though, I love this dairy so much.

On the note section every week, I'm going to write my to do list, shopping lists and reminders.

 

Sorry if the photos aren't that great, it was on my partners phone as my phone is broke at the moment and my camera needed charging.

'The Happy Project!' - The Happy Book.

Hello everyone & welcome back to the 2nd part of 'The Happy Project!'...

... The Happy Book!

I've always wanted a book (ONE BOOK) to fill up with all my favourite things. Example: Family photos, quotes and inspirational pictures.

Well I thought it would be fun to make my very own 'Happy Book'. A book of all the things that make me happy.

So heres the idea I had...

• To buy a thick plain note book (pretty or plain & decorate it).
• To buy sticky paper and sticky tape.
• To buy some colourful pens and a nice black pen.

So we have 365 days in a year. I thought start the 'Happy book' in January 2015. Then I end up with 365 things stuck in the book and be nice to look back on the year and gives me something to smile about.

Every day stick / write / draw / doodle one thing into the book.

Example: 

1st January - cut out of a dress I liked from a magazine 

2nd January - photo of my kids 

3rd January - wrapper from my favourite chocolate bar

4th January - Inspirational picture from Pinterest 

5th January - Writing in one of my favourite quotes 

6th January - Doodling a picture of me with a balloon 

Stick the things next to each other to make a pretty collage. So each page is a collage, so it doesn't look boring.

It could be anything, but it has to make you happy! It has to put a smile on your face. Nothing sad or depressing goes into this book.

You want this book to make you smile every time you open it up. It needs to cheer you up on a rainy or bad day. (|If you have kids, you could get them to do their own 'The Happy Book' too).

Here is a list of ideas of what your book could contain...

• Photos
• Pictures (ex: Pinterest)
• Magazine cut outs
• Wrappers (ex: sweets/chocolate)
• Gift paper
• Stickers
• Stamps (Postage or Ink)
• Quotes
• Poems
• Songs (or part of lyrics)
• Happy mail
• Menu
• Tickets
• Letters
• Words/Sayings
• What you did today (especially if its a special event)
• Print things from the internet
• Newspaper cut outs
• Drawings
• Doodles
• Short stories
• Questions
• Receipts
• Leaflets
• Notes

• Reviews

Even if its a piece of wrapper from a chocolate bar that you ate that day, stick it into the book.

Here are some ideas of what photos to take...

• Favourite things
• Nature
• Favourite colours

I will be posting a blog post called '365 Days - Take A Photo A Day!'.
I will be adding one idea a day (starting from January 1st) of what photos you could take.
You just choose the photos you want to take from the list, you don't have to do them all.

[Just an idea: It could just be a photo a day book, if you didn't want to do 'The Happy Book!' ]
[Or you don't have to do any! :) I'm not telling you to do it LOL ]

If you would like to share your pictures of your Happy Book, please check out the Facebook group I've created 'The Happy Project!' or CLICK HERE to take you there now.

• Social life - Do you have time for your friends? Do your friends have time for you? Do you make new friends?
• Relaxation - Are you getting enough sleep? Do you find it hard to relax? Do you feel stressed often? Do you pamper yourself often?
• Home - Do you like the area you live in? Is your home clutter free? Is your home relaxing? Is it tidy and organised? Is there enough light?
• Fun - Are you creative? Do you have hobbies? Do you enjoy being out doors? Do you enjoy cooking? Are you having enough me time?

The point to this insert is to see what your life is like, who you are as a person and if you would like to change any parts of your life. Some things might be really simple to change and some might take weeks or even months. You will have an understanding of what you want out of life, and know if you are HAPPY!
Another way you could see this insert is to actually see your life changing. Noticing changes in your life as time just flies by.

It might help you to make a list of goals. You could make small goals first then more challenging as the weeks go by. I would start with a list of 5 goals each week (small to start with).

I hope you enjoy this insert and have fun with it. xoxo
