Planners from Dotmine ~
If you are like me you just can’t remember everything. I am totally one of those people that writes everything down. I love lists. And I love planning. When I forget something, I totally freak out. That is why I love planners. I get all excited at the end of every year because that means it’s planner shopping time. Some years I end up with one that is so-so but this year I ended up with the awesomeness thanks to Dot Mine Day Planners!
Dotmine Double Espresso Day Planners
I like to have 2 planners. One for blogging {because it gets CRAZY full} and one for home life, bills, appointments, etc. I received for review the Dotmine Double Espresso Day Planner and have decided that it will be perfect for my home life planner. At only $13.99, this baby is a steal! This planner is regularly $24.99, but if you waited until the last minute to get it like I did, that saves you $11. Score one for the procrastinators!
This planner has far more options than similarly priced planners. The Double Espresso Planner comes with a shimmery leather cover. I love that. My laptop is also shimmery brown. When I realized they matched I was really pleased. Yes, this is not really important in the grand scheme of things, but it sure is fun. I am also loving the fun pattern on the inside. Yes, I like my planners to look pretty. 🙂
One thing that I really love about this planner is that it comes with suggestions on how to use it. As a person who has used her share of planners, I have been one of those people who started using one, realized that I didn’t like the way I was using it, and then had to White-Out and start over. Ugh. Aggravating. I think it is nice to have suggestions to make decisions around.
I also like that this planner has several calendar versions for planning your schedule. The Double Espresso Planner comes with a master plan {that you can write your everyday things on}, then it offers monthly and weekly planners. I never buy planners anymore that only have one type of calendar inside. It can just be too much to look at. Even with all of these calendar options, this planner still fits in my purse.
I have big handwriting and this planner has a pretty good amount of space. That is always a must-have on my list when searching for a planner. I really despise planners that only have the monthly calendars. i don’t write in 2 font, lol.
Finally, this planner comes with handy note areas with perforated edges on every page. You can easily write down a grocery list and then carry it in the store with you, without lugging around the planner. I love writing lists all day long of things I need to do, buy, etc, but I oftentimes lose them. I can just leave this list attached until I am ready to tear it out and use it! Brilliant!

What a gorgeous planner. Love all the space to write, would be enough to keep my blog, school, and life straight!
wow I need an organizer like that but does it come with a person to write all the stuff in it. LOL I need help with that as well
I love planners! And this just reminds me that I need to get a new one for the new year!!
This looks like a great planner! One of my goals for 2013 is to get more organized and this would really help.
Very nice planner. I love Dot Mine. I need to get a new one for this year. Although I never remember to use it half the time! Maybe that’s why I’m so unorganized!
This looks like a great planner to keep you organized. Just have to remember to use it 🙂
You read my mind—I needed a new planner. I accidentally threw away my blog planner recently when I was cleaning. See, I knew I shouldn’t have cleaned my house.
That stinks that your planner got thrown out. Yep, another reason not to clean! 😉

WOW! What a BEAUTIFUL planner. I love to be organized and I LOVE to plan things and jot things down, I don’t yet have a planner for 2013, so I must get one of these! 🙂 Happy New Year!
This looks like a great planner I could definitely use something to make me more organized.
Wow! Now that I work from home full-time in social media, I am in desperate need of one of these day planners! I would love to check one out! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
That’s a nice planner. It looks like it has lots of options as well.
What a great review. I am a procrastinator, but only because I can not find a planner that meets my needs. You think it is just a calendar until you need one for a specific reason. I think that it matches is great, everything I own is pink, that way the boys in my house do not steal it!
This is a great plannerwith so many options. i especially love the perforated edges on every page.
I would love to get a new planner. Love the room to actually write down events.
I love starting the new year with a fresh planner… I keep my old ones for about 3 years…I always find that I need a scribbled phone number or address as soon as I toss an old one out! I also like to look back and see what we were doing on a particular day… or gifts I’ve given for birthdays so I don’t repeat gift, etc… my planner is a must have!
I love the idea of keeping them for a few years!! I might start doing that! I think I do that occasionally on accident but never with a purpose. 🙂

Your review has a lot of personality…wonderful job. I am a list maker myself. Lists upon lists. If I’m going to several stores I not only write down what I want but where I’m going so I don’t forget any errands. I have a calendar prominently located in my kitchen filled with schedules. This is a great idea, and I hope it works for you.
