Belle De Jour

Friday, December 26, 2008
Planners are very useful in our lives. Especially if you like your appointments and things to do in an organized notebook. But I think, the hype for the planner grew during the Starbucks earlier christmas years where they offer a free planner for around 21 stickers (21 drinks). The starbucks planner back then was very pretty and nice. People go crazy collecting stickers and fortunately (or unfortunately), I didn't bother. I just helped them fill up their cards while drinking my favorite, Iced White Chocolate or Green Tea Frap.

It was probably last year that I knew about the Belle de Jour Planner. I'm not sure where but I think I saw it online. Bought one. Used it for the whole year. Unfortunately, I was still not used to using these kinds of planners, I actually use the monthly calendars years before.

This year's Belle de Jour is way way way better! Anyways, I'll write more about it as we go along the pictures!:)


The Belle de Jour 2009 box! This year, they came up with the idea of selling it with the option of a box. It costs 20 pesos but I think it's worth it:) It has a silver bottom and a pink tom with the Belle de Jour logo.


The Belle de Jour 2009 and 2008! See, even the covers look great! The 2009 edition has more colors! And it looks more fun!:) Oh! and another thing that i like about the Belle de Jour 2009 is that you can "fold" it just like a springed notebook!:) great, isn't it?


This year's planner comes with Forget-me-not notepad and coupon holder in one! Just in case u didn't know, the Belle de Jour Planner comes with many many coupons that you could really use!:) I like the mix of the colors used in this year's planner.

The Belle de Jour planner comes with a lot of tips on how to maximize your planner, a page for your goals this 2009, vision statement page, someday maybe list, dream board, health checklist, menstrual tracker, birthday list (which i really like), vacation planner, christmas gift list, and a lot of tips!

See how colorful the pages are. Aside from better pages. the paper quality is also better this time. Honestly, I didn't like the paper quality from last year's planner. But this year, It is better (Or maybe, the colors are playing a trick on me!) hehe:)


Here is a picture of the Birthday List! Sometimes, I wish the space would be a bit bigger since some people have the same birthdays and I tend to cramp up their names in that space. But nevertheless, that was one part of the planner that I maximize:D


The planner itself. If you can see (I know the picture's small and blurry) aside from the ordinary timelines, you have a MIT list below and errand list on top. It's really a nice and useful planner if you really use it.


This is what I like best about the Belle de Jour Planner! COUPONS that I can really use! Last year's planner, I think I used around 5 or more coupons? or even MORE! I used up the CBTL coupons!!! Hey, who wouldn't like a Buy one Take one Ice blended drink, right?:) Aside from the drinks, CHEESECAKES at CBTL! hehe! I also used the coupon for a pair of Havaianas at all flip flops. Of course, the cupcakes by Sonja at Serendra. and many more!:) This year's planner comes with even more coupons!!! whee~ but wait! There's more! haha!

I also get this "discount/privilege"? card. with this card, I get to have a 5% discount on all services, 10%discount on hair care therapy, Earn points for credits and most importantly, I get to have a free haircut and hair therapy on my birthday with this card!

Isn't it nice? hehe! Can't wait for next year!:) Can't wait to use my planner na!:)
