I hope I'm not yet to late for this post! In case you still don't have planner for this year yet, this post is perfect for you so you'll know what to expect with The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, The Giving Journal 2016. Planners have always been useful for me, without them, my life will be in chaos. With my schedule, I need to organize everything like per hour! OA right? I had an experience when I forgot to attend an event just because I forgot to put it in my planner.
I'll be using two planners and some notebooks for 2016. So for work and personal stuff, I'll use The Giving Journal, and here's why.
The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, The Giving Journal 2016
The packaging is perfect for gift giving, which is basically one of the missions of CBTL, to give flavorfully. It comes in a nice sleeve with labels TO and FROM so you can easily just put your name and your friend's.
It comes in purple, brown, yellow, and teal blue. I got the blue one, yey! My room and other things are in white and pink and this is the only color that will compliment them, so I went for this one. If there's pink or rose color, I'll definitely like it too!
The cover has a nice velvety feel to it and sturdy. I just have a feeling that it's a dust magnet because you know, NARS? (you'll get this if you're a girl and loves NARS!) 😀
Below are the highlights of this planner:
Don't forget to put your necessary information so just in case you misplaced your planner, there's a chance the person who finds will find a way to return it to you.

Trivia: CBTL Ice Blended, the product that started the whole frozen coffee revolution!
My most favorite section. The Monthly planner. It takes the entire two pages and this is the first one that I look for whenever I buy planner so I have an overview of what things to do for the entire month plus, I get to make my bookings so I can easily tell the client if I'm available that day or not.
The Weekly View. There's an enough space for the whole week on the left then a spacious notes section on the right.
So in every month, you'll have this dreamboard to fill in.
Different paper designs for Notes.
Emergency Numbers, very important. If your planner doesn't have this, you can create one and google all the necessary contact information.
List of all CBTL branches so you can easily claim your vouchers.
There's also a sticker sheet and a flap to store your receipts and small papers.
The Giving Journal 2016 is really handy that I bring it everywhere I go especially in meetings and events. It's a special planner for me. It doesn't just helps you with organizing but also encourages you to give more and be thankful for whatever you receive.
I'll be updating you guys with another planner review, it's the one that I use for girly scheds and organization. Let me know your thoughts about this planner and which one did you go for this 2016! Unfortunately, modern planner and calendar in mobile devices don't work for me that much. I still prefer the traditional planning and writing. Plus, I get to decorate it like a slam book too! 😀
