Hello everyone,  From some of my previous posts you can guess I am a planner lover. As I have said before, I have always been one of those people that use planners and agendas to map out my day and arrived to what I wanted to get done. However, it was not until probably 2013 that I really got into the planner community. I started with a DIY planner and later with a faux Filofax in A5. Nowadays I use three planners as well as three notebooks in my routine.  The first planner I use in my everyday routine and the one that comes with me every day is my small size Kikki-K. This is the planner I use mainly on the go, at work mainly to note appointments and important things to remember as the day goes. All the important things I note in my small planner get moved to my main planner, my medium size Kikki-K. I always thought of myself as an A5 girl since I love to have a lot of space to write, however when I discovered the DIY fish inserts I thought I ...

This year I would want to be able to post regularly my monthly favorites. Therefore, as January had come to an end it would be time to reflect on the things that had become my favorite this past month. Let’s start with Beauty. My face routine has been more or less the same for about one year, and it has always worked just fine; however, in December I started feeling that my skin was getting dryer. Therefore, I decided to change my moisturizer to one I have already tried out years ago when I started having the same problem. It is the “Hydraphase Intense legere” from La Roche Posai, which is a moisturizer indicated to those skins which are lacking to hydration but have a tendency to have acne breakouts, since, as its name says,  its texture is really light and not greasy. This cream combined with the “Effaclar gel mouse” and the “Effaclar astringent lotion” has been leaving my skin clean of imperfections and soft. Then for makeup I have been really into mousse fo...
