Yes, I am one of those people that geeks out over planners and goes full nerd alert when it comes time to order a new one! I had heard a lot of good things about the LifePlanners from Erin Condren, with tons of blogger gals I follow raving about them. So this year I figured I'd give it a shot. I don't think I'll ever go back! I'm sure a majority of you have heard about Miss Condren's oh so fabulous LifePlanners, but for those of you that haven't...let me be the first to introduce you! The LifePlanner is completely customizable from the front cover, to the weekly layout to the color pallet and more. The pages are sturdy and super easy to write on, it has cute fonts and quotes throughout and it's a great size! Basically...it's perfection in planner form! Since I have loved mine so far, I figured it'd be fun to share it with y'all and talk about what accessories I use with it to help me stay organized. My planner is the "...

Most of you know that blogging isn't my full time gig. I have an Etsy shop that I do full time and keeps me busy. But this year one of my goals is to make more of my blog...to truly enjoy it and develop it into something I love and do on a regular basis. Writing is a good outlet for me and I love challenging myself to talk about and explore new things! So here's what you can expect on Brown Eyed and Beyoutiful this year! January: January always brings a clean slate and fresh start so this month I want to talk all about perseverance. I'll give you ideas on how to set goals, establish a routine, pick a hobby, and more. I want to help you prepare and set yourself up so that 2019 is your best year yet! Here's a sneak peek at the posts I'm most excited for in January: "10 Steps to Crush Your Goals" "My Morning Routine" "My Favorite Planner and How I Stay Organized" "Why Everyone Needs a Hobby" "2019 Bo...

Everyone knows that a new year brings resolutions and a fresh start! I personally love setting goals, finding ways to improve and challenging myself in new ways! I, like many of you I'm sure, have given up on goals in the past. More often than not, it's so much easier to quit and give up instead of working hard and pushing yourself...but I have found that the results are far more rewarding when you do the latter. That being said, I wanted to share with you all ten steps to help you crush your goals and make 2019 your best year yet! So let's do it! One: Determine What Your Goals Are Sit down and just start writing. Write down everything that comes to your mind. Have a little (or big) brainstorming session. It doesn't matter if it's single words, ideas or phrases.  Get it all out on paper!   Two: Write Them Down Once you've got a good list of ideas, form goals or resolutions and write them down. Be detailed and specific, not vague....

If y'all have followed my blog for a bit, you know that I LOVE books! I'm obsessed with stories and escaping reality for a few hours to enter an entirely different world. There is something so powerful and exciting in getting lost in a good book.  So I thought it'd be fun to share a few of my favorite books and what's on my list for this year!
