Making Plans for Diane

Making Plans for Diane

Aug 29, 2017

Today marks the start of a new year. I have 365 days until I'm a year older so I want to make the best out of this one. I have so many things that I want to do that I need to be organized. I can fall off s wagon super easy so have a planner is exactly what I need.

I've been seeing planners everywhere and while I'm obsessed with Bando I wasn't able to grab one of them as they sold out super fast. So I searched the web for the perfect one and luckily this cute one came to my rescue. I was able to get this Goal Digger planner for $25 and with the help of my cute pens I was ready to get to work.

Along with my planner I got these super cute pens to make writing more fun. Because my planner isn't a basic black and white one using colored pens gives it a bit more life and makes me want to write in it a bit more. Every week when I sit down to make my plans I choose colors that match my current mood and I write things that I actually plan on doing.

As per usual, I write down appointments and the like on the left side of my daily entries and things that I want to do that day, or by that day, on the right. This helps me get prepped for my week as there is nothing more satisfying than being able to check something off. It also lets me see all of my submission due dates physically. 

I know that everything is digital these days and my iPhone is perfect for keeping myself on track but there's something I find really fun about writing goals down and being able to check them off. This year I plan on being a true goal digger!

Activated Charcoal Konjac Sponge

Activated Charcoal Konjac Sponge

The new dream team

I started using these konjac sponges two summers ago when they came into my radar as a way to wash my face without needing cleanser. That's something I was super skeptical about! I've never washed without cleanser---ever! But lo and behold, Pooter's Cache was given to me to try out and give my thoughts on it.

Initially, none of the sponges that I've seen on the market mentioned that it could be used with a cleanser so I was really happy when I saw that this one was promoted differently. I'm a sucker for a product and old habits die hard! But because I wanted to see how the sponge made my face feel I chose to use it for two straight days without using any cleanser or makeup! I did of course use my argan oil moisturizer afterwards because I'm trying to use it every single day no matter what.

and it's pretty huge too!

The result of using this sponge was that my face did feel nice and smooth and I got to exfoliate my face naturally which, as you can see from my photo above, is where my skincare is headed. It's a fun new tool that looks a bit tricky when dry but once it's nice and wet it's ready to get to work on those dead skin cells and that's a win. Plus, the fact that it's a natural product means it's one of the products that will stick with me after December since I plan on going 100% natural by the end of 2017.
