Fringe 2021 Planner Review

Fringe 2021 Planner Cover

Who is wondering if we will actually use our planners this year?

 

We definitely got thrown for a loop this time last year when Covid began to rise, and then most (if not all) of our plans got cancelled. Thus, no true need for a planner.

 

As much as I love planning, I had a difficult time navigating through it in 2020. But now that we are starting a new, bright and magical year, I am so ready to get back to my normal planning!

 

Back in December, I was walking through TJMaxx when I came across this Fringe 2021 Planner. The beautiful cover design caught my eye right away and I fell in love with it! I knew I just had to buy it. So today, before I start planning away for this year, I wanted to share with you a page-by-page review. 

 

Maybe you’ve never heard of Fringe before or seen their planners, or if you have but just wanted to take a look inside before buying – this post is for you!

 

The Cover

 

I absolutely love this beautiful blue and pink floral design. The front and back cover are super sturdy.

Inside the Fringe 2021 Planner

 

Immediately after opening the planner, you’ll find this sleeve. I always find these handy for any notes or papers that I need to have with me at the time.

Then you go into the 2021 and 2022 mini-calendar section as well a place to keep track of contacts. I usually don’t use the contacts section in any planner, but that’s just me. They give you plenty of room for those, if it’s something you use often.

For each month, you start with this beautiful pink cover that is always accompanied with an inspirational quote. I’m a sucker for those! 

 

Quotes

 

The very next page is your month ‘at a glance’ sheet. I really loved this when I first picked up this planner! If you’ve been here for awhile, you know how passionate I am about goal-setting. It’s so helpful to have one place that you can write down all of your goals. I will likely use some of the anniversaries/birthdays sections on this page for my goals, too.

 

At A Glance

 

Now you have your monthly calendar with plenty of space to write in any important appointments, to-do’s, etc. I really love how clean this spread is, as well as the planner in its entirety. I’ve always been a color girl, but honestly seeing this mostly pink-and-grey color scheme is just so perfect to me.

I love how spacious the daily section is! This probably provides more space for me to write things down than any other planner that I’ve used before. I’m not saying you always need this kind of space, but I love having the option. Plus, I have a ton of pretty stickers that could help fill up the space if my words can’t, haha!

 

Daily Section

 

At the end of the planner, it wraps up with a list of 2021 Holidays. Plus, there are various sections for notes throughout the planner.

 

Holidays Notes

 

That’s a wrap for my Fringe 2021 Planner Review, friends! I couldn’t find the same cover design on Fringe’s website or Amazon Shop, but I did find a few that I think are beautiful and would be worth checking out.

 

                                                       

 

Once I’m brave enough to write in this beautiful planner (anyone else get really frantic before writing in your planner for the first time?!), I plan on sharing some photos of how I plan on my IG stories and giving you updates of how it’s working for me.

I hope you’ve enjoyed taking a look inside this beautiful planner. Let me know what you think of it in the comments, and if you’ve ever owned a Fringe planner before!

    I always love looking inside other people’s planners! This one seems to have lots of flexibility. I really like that you could use it as a journal too. And you can’t go wrong with blue and pink!

    I find it so helpful when each month has their own goal list 🙂
    Looks like a great planner! I have one from a german blogger this year who is called Carmushka. First I was thinking if I should really get the calendar cause it was pretty pricey but now I adore it so much! I looks really pretty and has tons of helpful pages. Best investment in my goals and mental health.
    have a great start in the new week,

      Me too, Tiziana! 🙂 I’m so happy you found one you love. It sounds amazing! It’s crazy how helpful a planner can be in helping you reach your goals and just getting an overall better mindset. I can understand on the pricey not. I’ve paid a pretty penny for some planners, but they’re usually worth it!

    I agree! It was hard to plan anything in 2020… I couldn’t even plan a day ahead most of the time! This planner reminds me a lot of my Erin Condren planner. The cover is so pretty!

I’ve been using the @theinia_official Flare device and one of my favorite benefits is how it supports lymphatic drainage, which helps reduce puffiness, redness, and that tired look we all get sometimes.

It’s a simple, relaxing step yet makes such a big difference in how my skin feels and looks:
❤️ Less puffiness
🧡 More sculpted, refreshed look
💛 A little moment of self-care in my day

I love using it a few times per week or before getting ready when I want that extra glow! ✨
