Confetti FULL New Year! | January Sticker Addict Box

Hey Babies!!!

On this snowy NYC Saturday I'm sending all of my warmest thoughts and vibes out to you guys!!

Today I'm sharing the images from my January Sticker Addict and my impression of the stickers that I've used so far. The one thing I MUST say is that all of the designs were SUPERRRR cute!!!!

Also, if you guys would like to see the January Planner Addict Box, I shared it in my recent Target Dollar Spot Haul video. You can watch that Here ->

Okay Babes! On to the stickerssssss...

Santa is definitely ready to party his way through 2017!!!!!

Here is a shot of the packaging, info card and sticker kits that came in this months box.


The first sticker kit I'm sharing is from the shop ANC Stickers. This kit is named Confetti Pop and it's absolutely perfect for the month of January. I've already used it in my weekly spread for the second week of the month. The stickers are a matte finish but super vibrant and colorful. Just looking at the colors makes me smile! I also really liked the deco pieces, especially the wine glasses of course. The fashion doll styled deco and full box stickers are adorbs and there was just the right mix of deco and functional stickers to fill an entire weekly spread.

Next up is a kit from Hello Simple Paper and called "Party Animal". These are a glossy finish which is a super nice bonus. I don't really get many glossy style stickers so I was really excited to see a kit included in this months box. The animal theme and color scheme is not super New Year-sy but I like the idea of mixing up weekly spreads. However, I'm slightly tempted to actually save this kit to use during the spring time. It's got A BUNCH of deco and full box stickers but not as many functional stickers. I think this will be great for a week that's not so busy so I can make use of the space for more decorative aspects. I haven't used the kit yet but I tested out writing on the edges around the stickers and a regular ball point pen writes fine.

This next kit is from A Paperella Story and named "Pop Fizz Clink". Unfortunately this kit lacks full boxes but the color combo is just my style. It also went well with another kit in the box (the last one on this blog post) so I was able to mix in some of these stickers with the other kit. I don't think I'll be using this one on it's own for a spread because of the lack of full boxes but I can definitely incorporate more of these stickers into a spread using another kit or stickers from my MAMBI books. The New Years specific ones I'm going to save for my scrapbook. Since this is a color scheme I really enjoy and use frequently, I know I won't have a problem putting this kit to use.

The last kit I instantly fell in love with! This one is from Planning In Mint and called "New Years Glam". I loved the color scheme and the deco pieces. I couldn't wait to use it so I planned my first weekly spread of 2017 with this kit. Unfortunately I wasn't thrilled with the result. The colors were a bit lighter than I usually use, but that wasn't the problem. It was nice to switch things up and start the year with a softer more pastel color palette. However, about 5 minutes after I placed my stickers the edges of about 80% of them started to come up. The only ones that didn't pop up along the edges were the full box stickers. All of the other ones (even half boxes!) just weren't very sticky. I found my self continuously pressing down the edges throughout the week for fear of losing stickers. I absolutely loved the way the spread looked but the quality of the stickiness just was not great.

Okay my loves, that's all for today's post. I hope my insight and impressions can help you guys on your sticker shopping. Overall, I think both the planner and sticker addict boxes are a great deal for those of us who love our planners and other crafts. I definitely get my money's worth and good use out of everything - and I know I say this all the time lol but it's so true.

Until Next Time!

Gearing Up For Spring With Erin Condren


Hey Beauties!

I must admit ... I am THOROUGHLY OVER this cold weather!! I have dreams of spring and summer every night. The temperature is making a strong hold to the below freezing numbers in NYC but everything else around me is starting to show signs of spring. I woke up this morning to hear the birds chirping outside my window. Although it's still cold their instincts tell them spring is around the corner and it's time to start building their nests. March is soon approaching and with it comes daylight savings and the first day of spring. Also, stored are beginning to switch over their inventory to spring items. 

Today I'm sharing with you the new summer tank top and flip flop bundle from Erin Condren. If you follow my videos on YouTube, you guys know I adore my Erin Condren Life Planner. It literally gets me through the day and keeps me focused and productive. (I'll add in some videos of how I decorate it and how I use it at the end of this post).

However, Erin Condren also has a bunch of other items besides their famous planners, and everything is customizable! I love this new bundle they came out with, especially because it makes me feel like warmer days are on their way. Everything even comes packaged adorably! The bundle includes their new summer tank top and a pair of flip flops. There are a few different flip flop designs to choose from and you can customize them!! Some of the designs allow space for up to 3 letters (I chose to put my initials on mine), while the other designs have a bit more space where you can include your actual first name. All of the patterns and designs are super cute, as is standard for Erin Condren, and some can even be customized to whichever color you prefer! My fhosen flip flop design already had multi-colored polka dots (which I think are super cute) so it was not one of the color customizable options, but some of the other designs allow for your color preference.

The package also came with an adorable and sturdy beach tote. I'm drooling over the set and can't wait to hit the sand with my new goodies. If I was craving a vacation before, I desperately need one now, if for no other reason than to show off my personalized flip flops! Complete side note: I actually really like that the flip flops are a bit on the thicker side. I've purchased thinner flip flops before because they were cheap and found that before the summer was over my foot print was so deeply indented into the shoe that it was almost breaking through to the floor. This are a thick sturdy material and won't give you that problem. The tank top is also a very soft light material, perfect for hot days. So basically - not only cute but actually very functional.

The bundle retails for $39 and you get the tote bag for free, but I also have a coupon code for $10 off your first order if you click here: https://www.erincondren.com/referral/invite/rociomarcaida0914-3612

I hope you guys liked this post, and let me know what you're most excited about for the spring?!?! I for one, Can Not Wait!!!

Love you!
