Filofax: Week 25 Pages Polkadot

filofax_wk25

I am loving this week's Filofax planning page layout (Kate Spade inspired), maybe because I had so many new things to design the 2 page spread! This layout is very different from the layout that I used last week and I am thinking this is the one to stick keep.  I've seen this type of layout used by a few Filofaxers so I decided to make my own through Microsoft Publisher. Super easy! Lots of space to stamp, add post-its, little notes, color, etc.

PRODUCTS USED FOR THIS LAYOUT:

  • Studio L2E Plan It and List It Stamps
  • Kate Spade Paperclips
  • Polka-dot washi tape from Michaels
  • Clear TODAY divider from Heidi Swapp  (this was part of a pack, they are a little short, but too cute not to use).
  • Journal Cards - I made these myself with quotes I found on Pinterest
  • 3x4 journal card protector hole punched to fit the Filofax and added a strip of washi tape for personality.

I hope you are enjoying my creativity posts! Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out!

Review: Makeup Organizers byAlegory

byalegorymakeuporganizers

 

Being a makeup junkie my makeup is EVERYWHERE, seriously, it takes about a quarter of our 800 sq. ft. codo.  But hey, what am I supposed to do? I love makeup! As a junkie I am always organizing and cleaning my collection as I do this I am always on the lookout on products that would make everything look clean and neat.  If you want to see how I store all my makeup click here.

I love these acrylic makeup organizers from Byalegory, they come in a variety of styles and colors. The organizers are very sturdy and very well built.  It will surely protect your valuable products.  I chose the lipstick, lipgloss and compact clear organizers (i like the clear so I can see what I have and it matches with the existing organizers in my makeup armoire).

Lipstick Organizer  - I filled mine with all MAC Lipsticks including the ones in the black bullets and limited edition ones (I LOVE LIMITED EDITION PACKAGING!).

  • 24 slots to hold the lipstick
  • will fit any size of lipstick.   Even room for bigger lippies if you have fatter tubes.
  • Tube stands firmly in the allocated square.
  • Each single lipstick holder is about 1 in. x 1 in.

Compact Organizer - Filled with MAC Mineralize Skinfinishes and limited edition products colour face products.

  • Will hold 8 compacts
  • I love how these organizers hold the compacts.  You can see the top of the compact for the name/brand/ still in between the compacts
  • single compact slot is 3" in. x 1.5" in

Lipgloss Organizer - Filled with Revlon Colorburst Matte and Lacquer Balms along with  Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. I have reviews on all these products, just click the links. I am so happy I ordered this organizer because it fits the Revlon Balms and Stains perfectly! I have pratically all the shades stored in a ziplock bag so this was nice to have to organize all of them. I think I need 2 more of these for my favorite lip glosses to have a new home.

  • Will fit any size lipgloss from short (MAC Lipglass) to tall (Nars Glosses and Pencil type glosses)
  • single gloss slot about 2.75 "in. x 1" in.
  • 24 slots to house your glosses

Filofax: Week24 Pages Just the Beginning

This is my first planning pages for my Filofax, not sure if it will work for me but I will give it a try.  I wanted lots of space to write things (to -do lists, projects, notes, etc). However, I am not sure if I will need the timeline for my days since I my work schedule is usually the same every week.  I found inspiration for this layout from Passion Planner but changed it a bit to fit my needs both for personal use and for my blog.  I included a little 3x4 journal card with an adorable picture of my westie, Luca.  He always makes me smile. The quote on the side really spoke to me this week and it kept me on track to be determined to get things done.  I also added a RIGHT NOW to -do insert to plan my posts for Instagram.

Ordered my supplies from scrapbook.com, JoAnn Fabrics, Michael's, Japanese Book Store in Chinatown, Amazon.com,
