I’m currently in the process of talking with someone to make College Prepster academic planners…….
And I am SO excited.
Let me know your thoughts though. Is this something you’d be interested in?!?!?!

Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart
Year after year, I keep coming back to @shutterfly for personalized gifts that feel truly thoughtful. There’s just something special about custom gifts—they really say, I was thinking of you. From mugs to framed prints to calendars filled with favorite memories, it’s the little things that make gifts unforgettable. 🎁 Use code CARLY40 now through 12/18/24 for 40% off + free shipping on orders $40+!* Make something that means something this holiday season! #shutterflypartner
#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical)
– @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!)
– @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair)
– @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine:
– @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen
– @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1)
– @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay)
– @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly)
– @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose)
– @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony)
– @honest Extreme Length Mascara
– @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition)
– @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using:
– Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items
– Google docs for writing/brainstorming
– Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...)
– Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs
– Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines
– Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
YES!!!! Especially if they're in the style of the Lilly one! So exciting (:
Yes Yes Yes!
That would be super awesome!
Yes! Especially if we could get them to ship to Canada!
I would love them. I agree with the idea that they should be in the style of the Lilly one! 🙂
yes yes DEFINITELY!!!
Yes!!! Especially if you incorporate cute designs and patterns. I agree with Sarah and Bee about liking the Lilly style!
ALSO I agree with Shontal, shipping to Canada is a necessity for me!
Would love the Lilly format. How about your water color art?
absolutely! so exciting! 🙂
Absolutely!
yyyeeeesssss!!!!
YES! If they are cute, college-student-affordable and filled with lots of space…I'm in!! I like the idea of using your watercolor art too!
Yes! Absolutely. Especially if they have a daily to-do list column like the Sarah Pinto planners.
PS. I really admire how you come up with an idea, figure out how you could make it work, and then actually follow through with it. You rock girl.
yes! i need a cute planner BAD
That would be awesome! I would totally buy one! Your planning and organization style is so similar to mine.
Yes, that would be lovely (especially like the idea of a to do list space). It would be nice if they were a little flexible as to the audience. Obviously the primary goal would be a good academic, college calendar but if it could also be feasibly used by some of us who have already graduated then that would be great.
Absolutely!!! I can't seem to find the perfect planner at the moment and I have a feeling that you'd put together the perfect one! Functional, yet preppy and pretty. 🙂 Can't wait!
So cool! A great idea for the first College Prep product.
My 2¢: minimal logo on the cover. I love your taste in patterns so I think that should be the focal point of the outside. Big logos can be a bit gauche. Also, I really don't like when planners don't give you equal space on weekend days! I'm not in college anymore, but back then my weekends were just as busy (if not busier) than my weekdays, so it would be great to have ample room in the planner. I love having extra room in the back for lists. Finally, I always find value in seeing the insides of a planner so I can decide if the layout works for me.
BEST NEWS EVER!!!
the two things im most obsessed with.. TCP and my lilly planner
<3<3<3<3 this made me so happy!
Such a great idea! I would definitely be interested. I graduate in May of 2012, and would love a planner that was geared to all audiences. I love plenty of space for each day, included with a to-do list column, and also a full monthly calendar view before showing each individual day. Good luck with all of your projects!
I love the idea! I like my Lilly one, but it isn't all that accommodating.
I don't use a planner but that sounds like a great idea! Congratulations!

YES YES YES! One school friendly I would hope!
Yes but it should be reasonably priced and not just for "college" prepsters. Something for January through December would be awesome.
It would be awesome if you could include different page views.
Month on two pages – the month at a glance
Week on two pages – with equal space for each weekday
And maybe even a view for one year at a glance
Also fun quotes and pearls of wisdom.
THAT WOULD BE SO AWEOMSE
I find the best planners are the ones that have a monthly calendar at the beginning of the month and then a week by week breakdown after that with plenty of room to write. I also don't think a planner should exceed about 14 months. The thing I dislike the most about the Lilly planners is how long they are, by the time you get through all of the months in the planner it's almost pointless to buy a new one because the new one would be halfway done with. A place to write your class schedule would also be perfect, like a breakdown of days with boxes to write the times and class. They should also be hardback or the placticy kind of cover so that it's protected, I know mine is always being thrown around.
I definitely think that you would be able to pick the perfect designs.
Definitely! That would be amazing 🙂
Please please please!!!!!!!
Essentials:
-relatively sturdy
-equal space for every day (including the weekends
-to do lists!
-quotes
-motivation from you!
-a sticker page would be nice 😉
CAN'T WAIT TO BUY MINE!!!!!!!!!
Yes! As long as it doesn't have your face on the cover like this one:
http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/hannah-montana-accessories–deluxe-planner
Because that would just be… awkward. haha 🙂
umm yes please! i also like it when at the top of each day, theres a box to write reminders like haircut today, or test today or even new VV catalog comes out! hahah! but i agree with every Paige Opinker said! YES YESSS YES. i find your study and organize guides helpful so if you wrote a section of those in the back of front of the planner, it'd be perfect. plus for each month you can do a print w/ a quote and then the cover of the planner; could be your tumblr logo!
YES YES YES! I have really enjoyed your reviews of other planners and I would love to see what you would create!
YES YES YES YES A MILLION TIMES YES
Please put everything in thing you think a dream planner should have because you obvi know exactly what a planner should have in it
SO SO SO EXCITED
YESSSSS! yes yes yes! I have been using my iCal while abroad, but desperately miss having a calendar to use whenever it is rude to whip out my macbook or iPhone.
-Sturdy Cover
-Month at a glance
-Weekly calendar. But I really dislike when planners give pre-determined time slots because they often start at 7am and end at 7pm and my day definitely does not fit in that time range.
-Something not too crazily priced
-Perhaps to have it out by the start of the spring semester so that everyone can start off their new year/new school year off to a preppy, fresh, start!
You are amazing! So awesome to see someone with such ambition. I will definitely advertise these to my sorority when they come out because many of the girls love all things preppy but are organizational freaks.
YESSS!!!!
yes! i would buy one
yes!
I love this idea!
ABSOLUTELY!!
Yes!!! I would definitely be buying one!
Yes!
I would LOVE to have a College Prepster academic planner, but only if it had an adorable pattern on it 🙂
That would be amazing!!:)
Yes, definitely! From the your obvious organization skills, I would imagine you would come up with some really good format ideas for it.
I am pretty jealous because I am obsessed with planners (along with many other office supplies) and would LOVE to design my own.
