Sorry I haven't posted for a few days, I've been busy at home and this weekend I'm at my apartment with my boyfriend, but we aren't doing too much today so I managed to get in a post :)
As a planner addict I am constantly looking for new ways to
play with my planners without breaking my college student budget. I’ve come up
with a couple of ways to utilize what you have, and stick to a limited budget.
1)
Utilize
Dollar Tree: We all know how adorable all of the Target Dollar Spot goodies
are, everything for a dollar is fantastic! But I think sometimes people forget
about Dollar Tree. As you know,
everything there is a dollar as well! Just the other day I found some cute
washi tapes, as well as sets of mini washi tape. If you have a happy planner,
the mini size fit the headers perfectly across. But the sets are adorable! They
have 7 mini rolls in one of those sets for a dollar. Each set has a color theme
to them, and all the themes are so cute!
2)
Arc
System Products From Staples: If you have a Happy Planner then you know
that they released a new “mini” size for the discs for the planners. I know as
someone who only uses a few months at a time, I was definitely eyeing those up.
Well, I was in Staples after I was in dollar tree, and I was walking around and
ended up finding the Arc System goodies from staples… big hint… everything
fits the happy planner. They had mini discs!! For 2.49$! And they had pink
ones! As well as other colors, and for 2.49$ you can bet right I bought a set.
They don’t have the heart in the middle as Happy Planner does, but they are
just as cute and for the price I was fine with it. They are 10$ on the HP site
as well as Amazon, and then you’d have to pay for shipping. So 2.49$ is a steal.
AND- They have things such as a pen holder, little zipper pouch, paper refills
(good for if you have the “BIG” planner, or you could also do a bit of maneuvering
with the paper trimmer), but they had a set of “to-do” lists that were simple
with lines, and I wanted a set (it’s a huge pack for 4.99) but, I decided that I
would wait to get those. But, I was thinking for 4.99 and how much paper was in
the set, it was definitely a good price.

Utilize
Your Pen: I love typography, and last week in my happy planner (look at my
instagram to see the second half of the week) I used mostly typography in my
planner. I created little banners and boxes and utilized capital and cursive
letters, and don’t forget the space between the letters, to add something
different as well. Pens are something that everyone has, and they can be used
just as well as stickers and washi tape.
