Plan With Me! | February 2015

[@TanyaDalton]

Ashely... we absolutely LOVE how you're using the planner!! Another fabulous video!!

[@nikkicastevens4749]

You use this planner so flawlessly that I'm in such awe. Because of youths is my #1 choice for my 2016 planner. Thank you!!

[@HoneybeePhilosophy]

I love how clean your organization is, not very busy and cluttered. I think I need to go back to doing that with mine. Great video! xoMelissa

[@cathurrrinnne]

your handwriting is LOVE. i also love how simple, yet pretty, your planning is. some of the plan with me's i watch are too busy, and that would just overwhelm me. but the way you decorate/plan is just perfect. love this video. (:

[@elynbeth]

I like that you keep your planner clean, professional, and adult. I can't wrap my head around the folks that make their planners look like a pre-teen's sticker collection :)

[@makeupTIA]

no Thanks! I have started adding little label stickers and circle stickers (I plan to film an update soon), but if things get too busy/messy looking in the planner, I start to feel overwhelmed. : )

[@HollySilkman]

Have to add to the crowd saying thet they love your voice, style, and handwriting. So do I! 😊 Your channel has quickly become one of my top three that I check every day. You're the reason I went with the IWP Planner. I hope you do more "Plan with me" videos!

[@hayleybailey492]

Ahhh, I love you're new lamp and also a fan of your little filming background with the flowers, candle etc. It looks really beautiful. Thanks for sharing this, increasing my motivation to get planning and get organised in my own life.

[@utopianjess]

Applause for another KZbin video beautifully done. I have to say your content is always so well prepared and executed, clean details and clear outcomes. I have been in a terrible slump lately and watching your last video where you reviewed the Inkwell Planner and this video on Plan with me has shifted my motivation to positive productivity. I began planning along with you albeit not with the planner you have but with an inexpensive planner that was gifted to me. Thanks for sharing your gifts, insights and inspirations. They do a world of good for a world of people in seeking better outcomes for themselves. Please keep this videos of "Plan With Me" coming. In gratitude, Jessica

[@tfriederich04]

Hi Ashley! First off I think when I do comment on your videos I always say how much I love them and I really truly do! When I saw the email notifcation yesterday that you had uploaded a video and that it was on your planner I literally squealed out loud. I was SO excited to watch it. When I saw your planner in your first planner video it made me want one so I bought one too! I just love it. Now this morning I pulled it out and updated my month and week, so thank you for making me want to do that. I tend to use my phone and iCalendar for appointments and such but I also love writing them down and seeing them in my planner. PLEASE keep making these types of videos! While I do love a good beauty video I equally love a good plan with me video as well and yours beats all the others out there! :) Also, your handwriting I am in love with! I wish I could write that neat. And your hair!!!! I love the way it looks pulled back and your bangs. You don't normally film with your hair pulled back like that but I think you should wear it like that more often if you don't already. :) It's very flattering on you! :) I have the Five Minute Journal and I love it! I think you'll enjoy it too! Sorry for my rambling on. I think that's all I wanted to say! Keep up the amazing videos, Ashely! Have a great day! :) Oh and keep up with the book recommendations as well. I always go out and get whatever books you talk about and I've never been disappointed!

[@makeupTIA]

LegallyBrewnette, they are the page flags from the Dollar Spot at Target. I just trimmed them down so they could fit into the meal spots. : ))

[@x0saturn0x8]

This video makes me so happy! I've been wanting to find someone that decorates their planners in a simple yet colour coordinated manner and yours is PERFECT! I can't wait for my new planner to come in the mail so I can start decorating ^_^ Also, your video is so soothing and calming to watch :)

[@ABeautyWhisperer]

LOVE your planner! You're tempting me to buy a whole new one! lol

[@rtrosino1]

I love this video so much!!!! I literally did some planning for the week about two hours ago, before I even saw your video. I definitely helps, but I love how organized you look and how purposeful you are with your time and your goals. I am trying to be more purposeful too this year and as I get older (turned 30 this year - trying to be more the kind of grown up I want to be!). Awesome ideas - would love any and all links and recs you have for paper products, organization, planner accessories, etc. FAVORITE video. Thanks love!! Have a great week! Xoxo

[@MissTrenchcoat]

This was such a great video Ashley! Thank you so much for sharing with us your planning method for the month, it definitely gave me some things to think about for my own planner system. You do such a great job with your videos and it really shows, keep up the great work!

[@roglesby74]

This is so neat, thanks Ashley!! An organization system makes each day so much easier.

[@MrsErica]

I also use the idea your friend Sarah gave you about using the bottom for the to-do list but one suggestion----I put a little box next to mine so I can check the box instead of crossing out the line. Its fun to check the box! Hope that helps, Erica

[@roseglassknits]

I always do this too! I think I picked that habit up back in high school. There is nothing more satisfying than checking off an item on a to-do list!

[@ctalhame]

I just love, love, love your handwriting and your planner ideas! I found your KZbin page after tons of planner research, ordering an Inkwell and while waiting for it to arrive, finding more related videos. Glad I found your page because I'm also from NoVa and I'd love to support a fellow NoVa girl!

[@makeupTIA]

Christina Talhame How cool! Fun to meet a "neighbor." Hope you love the Inkwell as much as I do! : )

[@diamondsandpurrls]

I love how clean and organized your planner looks! I'm loving the IP planner!

[@katyeproctorfreelon7158]

Thank you for sharing. This is the best "planner video" I have seen.

[@kathydo6843]

i love the way you use your planner! and your handwriting is so perfect

[@gooddollie]

I'm binging on all of your planner videos! Again, they are amazing!

[@fabsblt]

God same

[@MissCrystal]

Hi Ashley! I really enjoyed seeing your planner and how it works for you. I also use the dollar section flags and those Sharpie pens (among others). Thank you for linking the stickers. I think I'll get them because I like that they are already round and I don't have to customize them myself. xo

[@ZahraJournal]

Your handwriting has a calming effect on me for some reason

[@rowena8752]

Do a March one! :) Also would love to see how you decorate your planner - do you use stickers etc?

[@makeupTIA]

Rowena C. Hi, Rowena! I thought about doing a March one, but I think it would be super boring because I do the exact same thing! The only stickers I use are the page flags, circle, & triangles that I showed in this video. Inkwell Press is releasing some new products soon so I might do another planner video when those come out. : ))

[@AlliCherry]

Great tips! I love seeing how people organize their weeks :) Beautiful lamp too!

[@Exquisite-glowBlogspot]

OMG I love planners. You don't understand, I love yours and your way of organizing it is so good. Oh My gosh i can't get over this planner.

[@DigginWells]

So organized! I really like putting one cleaning job in each day so everything stays pretty clean. I'm definitely going to start doing that:)

[@Louisa15]

This is so helpful and a real inspiration for my own planner. I wish it had the honeycomb section as well!

[@Nikkers8]

I LOVE this vid! Great tips for actually using your planner effectively :) I'd love to see more planning vids.

[@Starcrossedsmile]

I loved this video so much! The stationery nerd in me wants all of your pretty stickers and paper goods :) Also, your vanity area looks really nice from the sneak peek you showed. I can't wait to watch the full tour!

[@MrsDavis913]

I'm not sure if I would use a planner, but I loved this video! Something about a weekly to-do list on a legal pad just does it for me haha

[@ashshopalot]

This was such a great video! Thanks for all the tips with the inkWELL press planner. I picked mine up after your review and I haven't gotten around to filling out my February stuff yet.

[@kathyburville2170]

Hi, Ashley! Love this video. My planner is set to arrive very soon and this is so helpful. Love all your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@mjillmoore]

Would love to see planner videos on a regular basis!

[@adaatude]

What a lovely video! I sent you a tweet as well because this is so lovely. I recently got the exact same planner & I've been struggling trying to figure out exactly how to use it and how to get organized. I need to watch the set up videos too to see if there's other helpful tips in there! 👌

[@hayleybailey492]

Also, sidenote I'd be quite interested to see more vids like this one, maybe every quarter/season or something. Can't wait to see more from you! xx

[@Vmalleyne1]

Good afternoon. I came across your video this morning and I am so glad that I did. I have been researching different planners for a while. I do have a personal filofax but it is not really working for me. I found something else on that line that I was going to order today and then I saw your overview of the Inkwell Press. I was over the moon! I ordered one on the the spot and received 30% percent off to boot! So, I want to thank you from the top of my head to the tips of my toes!

[@jessicaludivina3035]

I absolutely loved your planner and your handwriting! I enjoyed this video a lot! Thanks for sharing with us :) Greetings from Merida, Yucatan, Mexico!

[@thebigrocksinlife]

YAY! I love video! Thanks for making it, Ashley! I got this planner because of your review and have been loving it.

[@qianyueguo85]

Super excited u have a vanity tour video coming soon!!!!!!!!!!

[@AdriannaContreras]

You are very original in the way you use your planner. I loved it. Thank you.

[@RaeKelsch3]

This is so great! I ordered an inkwell planner after your awesome review and I LOVE IT. I love organization tips and I really need to order some stickers to further aid in my attempts at planning.

[@makeupTIA]

so glad you are loving it too! :D

[@ChereenElizabeth]

I absolutely LOVE this! Thank you so much for sharing your tips - sadly we don't get Livewell or Erin Condren, etc planners in South Africa, but I'm going to make do with what I have. Love the way you split your daily 'boxes' in two for appointments and to-dos - mine are always a jumble, so I'm going to try this going forward :)

[@charmingandwitty]

Thanks for sharing. Got some new ideas to use for my planner. I have an inkwell to and hands down the best planner I have used...... Thank you so much for sharing your finds.

[@courtneypalmer2075]

I love all your planning videos! I need to order this planner ASAP it looks amazing!

[@KatarinaMalnar]

Editing- amazing as always! Great video! I'm not really organized person so this really helps me out! xoxo

[@streamlinedchic]

Hi! Meal planning is so hard for me, as are convenience foods! If you come up with any great ideas, please let us know! I really like the idea of putting recipe names on post its and transferring that to a certain day. I need to 'bite the bullet" and use Sunday afternoons as my meal prep/planning day. I love the Inkwell planner, and purchased one because of your great review! My only wish is that it was a tad smaller, so that it was more portable for me, but other than that, it is a homerun! Best wishes, Kim

[@Bolderbon]

Just found your channel, and loved this video! I also make plan with me videos every Monday. I show how I decorate and plan for the week, and we use our planners very similarly. I love using the side column for videos that I'd like to upload/film. I have the Erin Condren Life Planner, but I love your planner as well. I can see now why so many ladies have more then one planner, lol! xoxo Bonnie

[@makeupTIA]

Boulderbon hi, Bonnie! I had an ECLP for a few years - wonderful planner too! : )

[@irma_arricivita]

New subscriber! Someone mentioned you from the IWP Facebook group. I started watching your videos. What's not to love?? I love how you use the IWP planner. I just bought the A5 insert and I am waiting for it to reach me as I live in Bangkok, Thailand. And you are into make-up!! You are my new favorite KZbinr.

[@makeupTIA]

+Irma Arricivita (irmaloveslife) hooray! Another makeup & planner lover. :D Glad you found my channel!

[@csquared2182]

I am in love with this video, along with any other video you do on planning! Your voice is so soothing...is that weird? Great video!

[@HannahHellevang]

Ashley, we're totally on the same page (har har, a little planner humor) with The Five Minute Journal, and setting our "values" based intentions! Are you in the Life with Intention class? I'd love to do it, but it's a little spendy for me, particularly since I have no interest in having my own business, blog or KZbin channel. However, I love the idea of being more in control of my life, and I am really enjoying trying to slowly incorporate these ideas into my everyday! I'd love to know more about how you're doing this, and what your "values" based intentions are (if they aren't too personal to share). Perhaps you could mention it if you do an updated goals video? Maybe you could be on The Lively Show at some point! ;)

[@ModernMolliee]

I found this extremely helpful! I don't have the same planner as you but obviously there are still similar aspects! For meal planning and healthier cooking, you could try doing a bunch of cooking on Sunday and portion out meals for during the week? Oh, were your flags from the Target Dollar Spot? I've been looking and can't find them!

[@ShopSRJ]

You have the nicest handwriting ☺️🙏💕

[@makeupTIA]

Thanks! ☺

[@sarahfaulkner4646]

Fantastic video as always! Would love to see videos on any healthy recipes you may have!!

[@LauraNeuzeth]

I loved this video. I wish I would have brought my planner with me on the train because you gave me so many great ideas. I'll just have to wait till I go back home to organize my planner a bit more. :-)

[@Just_Gil]

I would love this planner accept I HATE the spiral ones! The always get stuck in my bags and recent them 😔

[@sarahmarinkovich-durfee4509]

Thanks for the referral code bought mine today 😄....then passed your video on to 2 friends who were discussing getting organized. The tips are very helpful especially the mention about putting it in a pouch. I hate when journals and agenda get damaged in handbags..off to target now. My wallet doesn't thank you but I do 😄haha

[@RebeccaLately]

I really enjoyed this video. I do my planning on Sundays, too. It gets my week started right! Are you taking Jess Lively's online class? I'm currently reading the tidying up book. I love it! I'm reading it kind of slow, because it's the book I read when I take a bubble bath. Her writing style is so calming.

[@msmaggierose530]

Ughhhh I want and inkwell planner now! haha I love these videos. They calm me down, ha

[@Nicolebonnici]

I loved this video and all things organizational/paper related! Thanks so much for making it! :)

[@TheCandyShow]

THis was different and fun! Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@dleola]

Can you tell me more about the 5 minute journal? I got this planner because of you. :) my issue is that i don't carry it with me when i leave the house. That makes me sad. I have big enough purses but it gets heavy. Plus i have two toddlers.

[@cecilhudson1583]

I have been watching you videos for about 6 months now and I just want to say that I really enjoy them. I just wanted to suggest maybe trying some crock pot meals. This would give you some leftovers (which I know you like) and then your husband would also have something to eat when he is home. I am a stay at home mom of two young boys and I love crock pot meals...just throw everything in, stir it every once in a while, and boom- it's done!

[@makeupTIA]

Cecil Hudson that's such good advice, Cecil. I have a crockpot, but rarely use it. You've inspired me to pull it out! Thanks! : )

[@elsiegutz]

Really enjoyed this. Makes me feel inspired!

[@Kasy.C]

Your handwriting is so pretty !!! I wish I can write the same way like you :( .. I can never write a straight line on an unruled sheet of paper.. Any tips? Thanks :)

[@adpie70]

Hi Ashley...I love my Inkwell Press planner, and I'm hoping Tonya will have more covers to choose from in 2016. The masking tape sticker sheets I have, which are similar to yours if not just like yours, do not have the triangles or arrows. Please tell me you've found sheets with these shapes already cut??? I enjoy these videos - Paula

[@makeupTIA]

Hi, Paula! The sticker sheets I bought from Inkwell Press already had the triangles and flag shapes cut. : ))

[@emilyshmelimy]

I know this has nothing to do with the video but I have to say I LOVE your handwriting.

[@maryvangel]

Love your voice and handwriting

[@makeupTIA]

Thank you! : )

[@WeekendsWithG]

I'm only 1min into the video but I just had to pause it and squeal over those Rifle Paper Co. Notebooks. One of my favourite stationary brands. Okay, resuming video lol

[@somethingspecialxox]

Which pens do you use to write in your planner? I love the look of how they write haha :)

[@Mapleshade0623]

Please do a spiralizer video!

[@buffoon99]

so jealous of your writing 😍

[@valentina1487]

I loved this video so much! I'm watching it for the second time now ;)

[@lightdarkness6036]

Who on earth would dislike this video? I mean seriously I know that people have different opinions and tastes but com'on .

[@BlackBlood74]

Your planner is perfect! I don't have a fancy planner. I just sort of draw on it & use colorful pens, but i should get some stickers! (; ❤Wendy

[@makeupTIA]

Hi, Wendy! Yes!! Stickers are so much fun. : ))

[@Greeny04118]

Thanks! I actually emailed inkwell and tent fixed the code for anyone who is looking to use Ashley's link, it now works! :)

[@hopefilledfarm6736]

Love the video. Are you planning on doing a Q&A video soon? Would love to know what you do for a living. Peace❤

[@120mitchmd]

What blush and lip combo are you wearing?? You look so pretty ☺️❤️

[@makeupTIA]

Hi, Micah! I had on NARS Luster & NARS Brigitte + NYX Tiramisu. : ))

[@ilianac1856]

Hi makeupTIA just want to say that i love your videos! So well planned and lovely. Quick question on the planner...i wanted to see if you could comment on whether the planner is heavy or not? i understand that the paper is quite think, which is nice, but i t can get rather heavy....thanks for your time!

[@makeupTIA]

Iliana C Hi, Iliana! I would say it's just a little over 1lb. My husband says he thinks it's closer to 2...maybe he knows better. ; )

[@ilianac1856]

thank you!

[@ATimelessBeauty]

Love this video! Very helpful as I try to get organized. Thank you!

[@summersk88]

thank you for the code! just ordered mine today :)

[@kelliepatten4441]

Hi, I love your planner! Where did you get the Bow Paper Clips? I find I want to section things off and I don't want to use just anything. Thanks for your help. Kellie

[@makeupTIA]

Hi, Kellie! They are from Kate Spade. I bought them at Paper Source. : )

[@kelliepatten4441]

After looking at them I don't think they will hold such a big chuck of paper. I have the Kate Spade planner and I want to clip off the last 6 months. They are so cute though. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

[@TheLifeCake]

I love how organised you are! :)

[@TheLifeCake]

PS Im obsessed with planning so this is right up my street!

[@Just_Gil]

You look great with your hair up!

[@ZenNoslen]

I love your vids! So neat and well put together :)

[@yelainee]

where is the clear case from (the one you use to hold the washi and clips? its beautiful!

[@makeupTIA]

+yelainee It all came in a set together - the case, washi, clips, etc. - from Kate Spade! : ) It's called the Kate Spade Office Kit. I bought mine at Paper Source.

[@kristinabraly]

HMMM I don't see a 5 Minute Makeup Challenge in your Feb videos list!!! 😈

[@lteefaw]

Thanks for sharing.

[@aTEEproduction]

This video is perfection!

[@Greeny04118]

When you click it, it's the same JTjK20 and it doesn't work... Ug!

[@Greeny04118]

Hey there!! I tried to use your coupon code and it didn't seem to go through. Is there a new code I could use to get 20% off the planner?? Thanks!

[@makeupTIA]

Hi, Marina! I pasted in the link again. Let me know if it still doesn't work. : )

[@queenmubeenah]

Where did you get the bow paperclip

[@chaterinepoblete949]

I think thats from kate spade.

[@chaterinepoblete949]

The coupon didnt work for the planner.

[@makeupTIA]

Hi, Chaterine! I pasted in the link again. Let me know if it still doesn't work. : )

[@nikkiwilson8982]

Love this video!!! Thanks for sharing! :)

[@21earlthepearl]

Did you get a haircut? Your bangs look amazing today!

[@makeupTIA]

Thanks!! No haircut...my bangs have a mind of their own. I spent forever on them yesterday - could not get them to do anything. I woke up this morning and after being slept on all night they finally looked how I wanted. ; )

[@Greeny04118]

It says it is not valid as it has reached its max number of users?

[@makeupTIA]

Sorry about that! Here's another one - inkwellpress.refr.cc/XP8HLDX.

[@Greeny04118]

Same code. JTJK20 referred by a friend has reached its max users and can no longer be used. Sorry for the hassle!!!

[@makeupTIA]

No hassle! Not sure what's up, though. Here's someone else's code - inkwellpress.refr.cc/VPLR292 - hope it works for you!

[@chaterinepoblete949]

They have a 15 percent off right now on their website. That works.

[@cinderetsmoke]

can you write in my planner for me? haha your writing is perfect!

[@makeupTIA]

Danielle Nicole lol! Thanks! : )

[@mefrn62]

May I borrow you to organize me? 50 yrs old and still disorganized. You are lovely....Mary Ellen
