 Today is the day. I got my Aaron Condren order for 2018. Let's open this bad boy up. Got my handy dandy scissors and I haven't even sliced the side open yet. Ooh, I've got my tripod on full extension right now and I feel like it's gonna just fall over because I needed to get it so far away from the actual tripod legs because this box is just ginormous. All right, let's open this sucker up. Hold on, I gotta take the packing slip out. I don't need any more stockers. All right, let me turn you around a little bit. Oh, I almost hit that camera. There we go. All right, so there is, ooh, pretty watercolor. Being kind never goes out of style. Cute little postcard. That's cute. And then there's a little enjoy sticker with the same watercolor. All right, so I got a lot of things and yes, I will be doing a pen test, but today is going to be just an unboxing for you guys. So I got a really big box because I got a couple of different planners. Okay. And yes, I will also be doing a walkthrough of both of the planners on my channel. They're going to be two separate videos because they're two separate like layouts and stuff. So this is going to be my main planner for next year. I tend to really enjoy the 12 month planner from January one to December 31. So I'm not going to even start using this until January one. But of course, I had to buy it on launch day because you know, because this has like the little film that's removable. So yeah, I got the painted pedals and I did not get any personalization because I don't know. I just didn't. I didn't know what I wanted to order. Honestly, I wasn't really sure. And I was like, well, this is like what's happening this year. So let's just go for it. All right, so I'll just walk through it really, really quickly. And then we'll get into the rest of the goodies in the box because like I said, I'm going to do a totally dedicated video on this actual planner and my other planner too. So you get the little pouch with all the accoutrements in there. And then you got the pretty vellum page. To me, this kind of looks like Dalmatian spots. I don't know. So I decided to go with the colorful this year and I will walk through like the differences in that other video. Wow, this paper does feel different. I know a lot of people have been talking about the paper quality and like how thick it feels and how like, oh, this is sad. It's all like jacked in the corner there. Oh well, that's fine. That's fine. Nothing to be upset about. I like how the thankful thought is missing. You just like there's a little box. I like that a lot. Yeah, so anyway, this is my new planner for this year. And I understand what people are talking about with the paper. It does feel a lot better, which is good. For some reason, I felt like it was going to be like more smooth. I do like a little bit of grit to it though too. I'm gonna have to pen test it for you guys. But anyway, I got the colorful and I got the 12 month. I know that there are options now where you can get a 12 month from July to June, which I think is a nice option, especially if you have kids in school. And that's kind of like how your brain works for the year. But since I don't have any kids in school, my brain works from January to December. So yeah, and then there's a bunch of, oh, I'm really excited to look at these. Check these out. These are the new sticker pages, which are awesome because I will totally use these. I'll use these too because I use these on my normal daily basis at work. But yeah, and then there's a perpetual calendar. Yeah, there's always a perpetual calendar. I never use these, but whatever. I always end up throwing them in a rack or something. And then that is the planner. So this is my new planner. I'm very excited about it. So before I get started on the other things, I want to show you guys my other planner. This is going to be my YouTube planner for 2018. And I know I've kind of talked about my other YouTube planner. I've never really like shown it, but I will at some point on my channel probably towards more towards like the end of the year because I want to like fill it out and like show you what I'm doing. But essentially, I'm going to do like the same thing in this planner, but I got a really different planner, you guys. So it's still a colorful because I thought why not? And then still has the same pouch and whatnot. And I will go through this in a video as well. I got a vertical layout. I got a vertical. Okay. So I've been like kind of obsessively stocking Jennifer Crowder. I will put her Instagram below. You guys should all check her out. I have been so enjoying her going back to a vertical that I have been wanting to go back to a vertical as well. But I knew in my normal daily life, I just couldn't do it. I couldn't justify doing it because the headers make me upset and whatever. Like I just can't do it in my normal life. However, in my YouTube life, I think I could because I put in like when I edit, I put in when I film. I, you know, I don't use this as much because a lot of times I'm just doing stuff on the weekends or like editing on like a certain night or whatever. So I can justify it in here. So yeah, I am very, very excited to try this out again and see how I like it. But I am excited and kind of nervous to go back this way. But again, like I said, it's gonna be for YouTube. It has the same stuff in the back too. But again, I'll end up doing a walkthrough video on the vertical. I'm so excited. So here is all of the other things. Let me pull this stuff out and get this big box out of the way. And then we'll go into all of the things. All right. So the first thing is this designer paper tape. Let's take a look. I've been hearing things about it. Ooh, it's like interesting. All right, hold on. Hold on. It's like taped down with a piece of clear tape. All right. Let's put a piece of washi in here. I want to put it like right here. How's that? All right. Let's zoom in because I want to kind of like test this sucker out. All right. So here is the tape and that's called paper tape because it is like, it's like paper. It's not like that thin washi. It's actually kind of substantial. So I don't even know if this will cut properly like I would a regular washi. Let's test it out and see. And I was honestly, I was going to get like all three of these because I was like, oh, I want to check out all the new washes. But I wanted to test out the quality first because, you know, sometimes you end up buying something and you're like, oh, why did I do that? Ooh, this is satisfying. Okay. So it does fray a little bit at the end. Hold on. Let's let me zoom you all in. You can see up close and personal. Let's see if you guys can see. Can you see the fray? I hope you can see the frayed edge. It's slightly frayed, but honestly, for as thick as it is, I don't really mind that. I mean, honestly, you could obviously use a scissors, but that's not too bad. I thought it wouldn't even cut at all to be completely honest. But yeah, I like this. I think this is a cool thing. I might get some more, but I wanted to test out the, you know, one of them first just to see. I have had Aaron Condren washi in the past. And to be honest, it was not my favorite just because it just, it didn't come off the roll really well. And it just seemed like it wasn't very well made. I don't know. I hate to like bash things. Whoa, sorry. I hate to like bash things, but it's true. And that's why I like literally never used it. So I don't know. Now you know. But yeah, I'm excited. I think that looks nice. And it's like, it's like glossy. So you can't, it's not matte. I mean, you can still put stickers over it, but I wouldn't like write anything on it unless it was like with a permanent marker. But anyway, all right, let's get back into other things. All right, here is the Planny Pack. Oh, this is so cool. I got the one in linen, which has a silver band on the back. There was the, the black and then what's the, oh, and I had, there's the rose gold and wasn't there like the turquoise too? I don't know. Maybe there wasn't a turquoise. I don't know. I just thought this one looked nice and it was, you know, pretty clean looking. And I don't mind the silver and it's like really nicely lined on the inside. I really like that. I like that. Okay, we're just going to use this as an example. You can just plop it over your cover or over the whole entire book too, but that would probably be a little bit tight. And then you can put in like stickers, you can put in washi, you can put in pencils and pens and just whatever you want to inside of there. You could even put like invitations or something like that. And it just like goes with you, you know, like you don't have to worry about it. And it's just right there. And it's not another like loose thing to hold on to. It's just like a really big planner band with a pocket, which is kind of neat. So I really like that. I think that's super cool. All right, this was one of the free gifts that you got for ordering on launch day. And I think it was like while supplies last or whatever, but it showed up like in your basket. So yeah, this was really cool. It's rose gold. Not my fave, but I understand the appeal. I get it. It's just not my favorite, but I'll use it anyway, because let's face it. Anything Aaron Conner makes, I will probably use at some point in my life. And I also got these. These are the sticky notes. These are the new ones for this year. I just wanted to see them and see the color. I'm not going to pull them out of the package because they're just they're just sticky notes you guys. Like I'm not super incredibly worried about it. So yeah, but I am excited about these and I do like this painted pedals. I like it better in the colorful. I don't know about the neutral. It looks like a Dalmatian to me. So it's just not my fave. I also got this designer sticker book, the edition three. So this is the new one for this season. You can walk through this real quick as well. All right, so it's all rose gold, my favorite. And it's all watercolored on the inside, which is very pretty. So yeah, this is all gold foil on this page, silver foil on this page and rose gold. But I do like how much more functional some of these sheets are. I mean, like this page, it's like all quotes for the most part. I mean, you can put some things in there and like right here. But you know, I'm not a huge fan of these like they're cute. Don't get me wrong, but like I just don't have that space in my planner, nor does it like usually pertain to my life. So I like how, you know, functional some of these things are. So I don't know, or I don't mind like little things like this, but I don't know, those big ones are just kind of like in your face. You know what I'm saying? Pretty watercolors. I like the watercolors. I love the happy birthdays. Those are cute. So some gift tags, which are always nice to have, which by the way, like, I need to start putting these on gifts, even though I don't give a lot of gifts. I need, maybe I need to start giving more gifts. I don't know. But I never really give a lot of things, but it's mostly like gift cards and cash because it's always like weddings and stuff. I don't know. I never know what to buy. I just go off the registry. And then if I can't find anything that is like in a box and easy to wrap, I just give cash because cash is great. All right. So here is some just like little flags and it has like little foil sayings on it. These are really cute. I really, really like these little flags. Those are nice. And then some washi strips. I love a good washi strip. Ooh, then we got some silver washi strips. We got some icons. And that is it for the designer sticker book classic collection three. Very cute. I really like those. I also got a whole bunch of these. These are the plan for it pouch. I got it in the mid-century circle version. I am doing an organizational project with these. So this is like a to be determined kind of a situation. I'm not going to tell you too much about it. I've mentioned an organizational project on my videos before. If you can figure it out, let me know in the comments. Haha. Also, I got a carry all clutch. I got these like cute little water drop blit brain bow things watercolor. I don't know what they're called. I did not get it personalized. But again, this is part of my organizational product. So not product. This is part of my organizational project. Sorry, I'm a little sick today, you guys. That is going to be to be determined as well, but these are on the website. Well, goodness, I am missing something. Hmm. In my order, I was supposed to receive a hardbound notebook in turquoise and I never received it. So that's kind of a bummer. I will have to email them and ask them where that is. So it was just a promotional thing. So maybe they ran out. I don't know. But again, it was already in my cart when I checked out. So I think they were only giving it to like the certain amount of people until they were like out of stock in it. So I don't know. But I'll send them an email. Aaron Condon customer service is usually really good about those kind of things. So that is going to be it for my Aaron Condon 2018 haul.
