🗂️ The Planner That Keeps Me Sane (and Inspired)

This is the second year I’ve used the Perfect Planner Company’s Business & Lifestyle Planner, and I already know I’ll be buying it again for 2026.

It’s beautifully laid out, thoughtfully structured, and actually helps me balance all the things — from big-picture business goals to everyday life stuff like meals, mindset, and habits.

If you’re running a creative business, juggling life, or just love putting pen to paper, this planner has you covered. It’s spiral bound, with smart tab dividers, FSC-certified paper, and the most helpful features like:

• goal setting & vision planning

• habit trackers & gratitude prompts

• financial planning, sales strategy, and even space for email campaigns

It’s not just about productivity, it’s about working with purpose, with intention, and with space for reflection. It’s genuinely one of the best tools I’ve added to my business. 💫

✨ FloDesk – Email Made Beautiful

After years with Mailchimp, I finally made the switch to FloDesk and honestly, I’ve not looked back.

✨ It’s beautifully designed, easy to use, and feels like it was made for creatives. Whether you're launching a small business, running a shop, or just want your emails to look as good as your brand feels FloDesk is a joy to use.

If you’ve been putting off starting your email list because it felt overwhelming or too technical, this is your sign. It’s visual, intuitive, and so satisfying to use (plus: no clunky templates or stressy automations 🙌).
