EC Labels: Vol 1. ☑

If you've been following me on Instagram-you may have noticed I've been working on making my own EC labels. What got me motivated to start making my own labels was the fact that if you order custom EC labels on the EC website-they will turn out differently (for some reason) than the ones that come standard with your LP or notebook order. I knew they wouldn't be able to add the "@_____" under the texts, but I figured the asterisk and font size would at least be the same. Clearly that not the case!


I got the guts to make my own stickers and I love the way they are turning out! I started to make the ones I needed the most. I will be adding more EC labels to my blog when I get the chance-but for now I will be sharing the first set I have came up with. Here's a peek at how they look like in my LP! Sorry for the bad picture my phone took-but you get the gist of it. :)

There's a full screen shot of how the labels look like and a place to download the PDF after the jump along with instructions and information.  I hope you guys enjoy these labels! Happy Planning!

How I set up my dashboard!

Hey guys! Today I wanted to show you the dashboard I like to use in my Erin Condren Life Planner. I bought this dashboard from the Etsy store ARRLove awhile back and I absolutely love it! It has two of my favorite things-polka dots and glitter




The front side of the dashboard is where I am keeping a To Do list. This is where I write the things I need to get done that day-sort of like a "top priority" list. I decided to keep it simple and basic so I can just focus on the tasks I need to accomplish and not get side tracked by decorations. I used a a photo flip pocket by the brand SN@P! and attached it to the two glitter-striped pocket pages with double sided tape. I did have to trim it down a bit on the top but it was pretty doable. The photo pocket acts like a page protector and I love the fact that I can write on top of the page protector with a sharpie and can easily switch out my To Do list If I wanted to. I also use a hi-polymer eraser to get rid of the sharpie writing-it works like a charm!





Moving on to the back of my dashboard-this is where I have my color coding system that I use for school. I use this system in my Erin Condren On The Go 18 month Calendar. The system changes every semester depending on what type of classes I'm taking. This semester I was able to really define the sections due to only being enrolled in one class. Next semester I will have to go back to just having the basics down (homework, assignments, test/exam etc) as I am taking a full load. 




I'm really enjoying this set up and also enjoy using the dashboard as a bookmark in my LP. The quality of the dashboard is amazing and the Renee, the owner of ARRLove does a wonderful job at creating half sized snap in dashboards!

Hitting the books::Study Tracker. ✓

When I first got my Erin Condren Life planner-I wanted to find a way functional way to  incorporate my study habits into the planner. I needed a way to stay motivated and disciplined when it came to studying for my classes. I ended up having someone make me a study tracker. It was great to use and it served its purpose...but I wanted something different.

 One day I got the courage to make my own and eventually I created something I liked! I absolutely love using apples throughout my life planner because 1. I'm a student and 2. I'm an aspiring teacher....so IMO apples seemed more appropriate to use as a study tracker.

Hydrate labels::#getfit

Hello everyone! I've been working on these hydrate labels for a few days now. I had originally made the rainbow colored drops-but decided I like the cups better. I haven't printed them out yet so I don't have a picture to show of how they look in my planner. However-I wanted to go ahead and share with you guys the files just in time for you to plan out next week!

T'here are three different styles you can choose from to download. There's the hydrate daily style, the hydrate weekly style with one row of cups (assuming one cup=64 oz.) and then there's the hydrate weekly style with 7 rows of 8 cups. I made several of them because I like to change up my style regarding tracking my water intake. Download links are after the jump! Enjoy!
