 Oh well hello friends and welcome back to my channel. Today I have a very fun and exciting video for y'all. I was contacted by the Ashley Shelley Planner Company and was asked if I would be interested in taking a peek at their 2021 planners and I said well yeah duh. And this just showed up on my doorstep and I wanted to open it with you guys. So I haven't opened it yet. Um I have my dollar tree sticky notes that don't stick still so I'm working on that. I haven't even slid it so let's slice this baby open and see what's inside. I want to say that I had an Ashley Shelley planner for review a few years back. I can't remember any who. So let's open up the pretties. Beautiful. Oh nice. All right this is for you guys. So this is from Ashley and it says thank you so much Emily. Coupon code for your followers Emily 2021 for five dollars off of a 2021 signature or potato planner and it expires on September 30th 2020. So I'm going to put that information down below along with the website. So yay thanks Ashley. Um yeah hopefully you guys can see that. Yeah sorry if that was a little blown out before. Okay perfect. Well that's awesome. Didn't know you guys were going to get a little code but that's always fabulous. All right so let's look at the things. Okay do do do. All right so there's a couple of things here. There are two different planners which I knew there was going to be two different planners but I wasn't really like too sure on what they were so in my box was this little card that says create your best days and it just has like the contact information for Ashley Shelley so you could just follow her on Instagram at Ashley Shelley and the website is AshleyShelly.com. So let's start out with the launch day. So launch day is going to be Friday, September 4th at 10 a.m. Eastern time on AshleyShelly.com. Again I will write all of this information down below and then there are the petite Ashley Shelley planners which is the one I'm going to go into right now and then there's the signature Ashley Shelley planners which I will go into in a moment. So we're gonna get into the bed the big boy in just a few minutes but let's get into the petite one first because I think this is new. I I've looked at the other one before like a while ago but I've never seen this one in person. Maybe it's not new I don't know oh the shipping box got stuff on my desk that's okay that's what cleaners are for y'all. Anyway oh this feels like mmm feels like buttery soft oh I like this okay let's zoom in a little bit so we can see it a little bit better. I believe that this comes in a couple of different colors if I remember right um but anyway it has this really beautiful silver foil again just like that card create your best days and then it's got the 2021 and it's so like buttery soft I don't oh it's really nice I like that okay. Anywho so let me give you the specs on this. So this is the 2021 petite Ashley Shelley planner this retails for $29.95 it is a lay flat book bound smooth leatherette wrapped cover. The inside pages are a five by eight and there's also a ribbon bookmark which is right here in this kind of beautiful teal color so I'm gonna put that up here for the moment and yeah we'll we'll get into it so perfect oh and also um they do have worldwide shipping as well because I did ask the question because I know that gets asked quite a bit so in the very front it's just like a dot pattern with the Ashley Shelley logo there is a little pouch right here which is really nice for receipts or sticker sheets or anything you want to put in there um but yeah I really like this this is really nice uh anyway and then it says this planner belongs to and then you can do whatever you want to with that and there's a note from Ashley some inspiration oh and then they're got like contact information so you can put like if you've got kids you can put like doctors or school information or work stuff or whatever um and then favorite meal ideas that's nice and actually just looking at this like if you had kids this would actually be a really nice thing to have just like on your kitchen counter if you have people coming in and caring for your kids or you know grandma or grandpa or auntie or uncle coming in and doing stuff um this would be like a nice little thing for them anyways sorry uh I digress anyways okay so 2021 planning overview so you've got all the months so you can put in like different goals or different to dos or just whatever the heck you want that's really nice I love these boxes I use mine in the planner that I'm currently in I use mine for like home improvement projects and I don't separate it by month I separate it by like home area so like I have one that's like garage and then then another one that's like master bathroom you know so that's kind of how I do it but I just take a little I if I was using this one I would just take a little sticker and um you know just put the sticker over because I love me some stickers and then we've got a yearly overview for 2021 and then 2022 which is great so you can kind of see where your dates land especially if you're trying to like plan out some things and then also 2021 holidays that's always really nice to know as well and then we have the monthly view of January also I love this I think I've said this in a couple other planner review videos but I really like when they do um the upcoming month and it's always a bonus when they do the previous month too like just a little view of that um just so like for planning purposes so you don't have to keep flipping back and forth I think that's really really nice and the paper is really really smooth it feels nice it feels really nice you guys and then okay so this is kind of more of a guided page so it says create your best days in January what are you grateful for right now what are you worried slash stressed about right now what can you do to remove your stress and then it says what creates happiness in your life that you want to do more of this month what are you gonna say no to this month imagine your month ahead write a few words that describe how you want to feel this month and then here's like a checklist with self-care activities slash items monthly goals and then you can check them off I like the little yay right there and then your word of the month slash mantra very cool and then oh there's some notes so there's like two columns sorry there's two columns here and then this is all just one full note page so that's nice and then over here okay so you have like a little place to put your monthly word and then you've got like two columns of notes and then you've got some times over here that you can fill in and then just it's kind of more of a horizontal planner but vertically a little bit so you've got like these times and you've got these lined little areas and then you've got this to-do checklist as well which is kind of interesting so you've got like Monday December 28 and then like you got Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday and they're all the same size which I actually really appreciate that they're all the same size because I really don't like when planner companies take Saturday and Sunday and they like merge them together where not everybody has the same type of schedule I'd rather have the same space for every day makes it easier for me even though I work a normal like Monday through Friday kind of a job but not everybody does you know and I kind of like that these are untimed because you could do that for anything or you could just not even use these for times and use them for something else as well so anyway and then it also has like the little holidays on the right hand side of the teal header right there kind of cool so here's kind of how your weekly looks in this planner okay so obviously they're all the same so all right let's look at the very end of the month all right and then we're into February cool all right I'm not as always I'm not gonna go through every page because in this video would be like super long let's get all the way to the back um and see sometimes there's extra sheets in the back sometimes there's not and that's okay so let's see here okay and there is no extra sheets in the back which is totally fine um but yeah that is what this one is and again this is the 2021 petite Ashley Shelley planner and this one retails for $29.95 but there is that $5 coupon code for you as well and this is what the spine looks like very nice would look really really pretty on a bookshelf and then on the back it has the logo in this really pretty silver foil as well yeah and then you can just use this for your months or wherever you are in your book very cute very very cute okay so let's move that off to the side next up we got this bad boy and this is the 2021 signature Ashley Shelley planner this retails for $44.95 this is the wire o bound hardcover it is has a slight gloss coating and the inside page sizes are six by nine it has perforated page corners to remove and create bookmark which is kind of cool this is the one that I have had a version of before so let's get into it all right and I think yeah I'm gonna have to zoom out a little bit because I'm gonna show you guys the whole thing heard that whoa whoa okay cool perfect and like I'm not that big of a floral person but these navy flowers are kind of giving me life you guys there are a few different um colors and patterns to choose from of these planners just like fyi so just just putting it out there this is not the only one so make sure to check out the website love the reinforced corners those are amazing and I like that that matches the o bound coil that's always really really nice and you guys know me I like everything but I don't like rose gold so yeah anyway um but yeah it's a really nice hardcover very very nice and it just says 2021 on there with these kind of dark to lighter navy flowers very nice okay so let's get into this let's get you guys centered up and every time I try to center these I swear I don't center them because like when I go to edit these I'm like oh my gosh Emily it's not centered at all but whatever so anyway just like the last book it has the Ashley Shelley pattern right here and this one has obviously a bigger little pocket in the front which is nice to put stickers receipts whatever you need and this one in the bound wire mechanism here has a really really nice pouch which already has some stickers in it but let's look and see if there's anything else in there because you know I love me some stickers hold on come here here we go oh it's just stickers which is just fine so we've got a few different stickers very cool very cool I like it but yeah you could put lots of other things in here itineraries all this other good stuff and I like that it doesn't have a like zip or anything it just lays flat so it doesn't really add um too much a bulk to the planner and if you didn't want this in here you could like clearly just clip it out and then like clip it back in and out if you wanted to but it is stuck in here so anyway so oh see it's not it wasn't centered anyways so um yeah this is the front page and it just says this planner belongs to and the same information as the last planner and yeah this is all gonna look very similar to the last planner obviously but clearly this is a lot bigger and um here I'll do like a little size comparison for you guys actually hold on I'll do a size comparison this way so you guys can kind of see the difference yeah so it is different this for me would be a whole lot easier to like throw in my bag um every day if you are a planner person that needs to take that with you every single day if you're a person like me where I don't take my planner with me anywhere typically um I take my medical planner with me to doctor's appointments but to be honest most most of my doctor's appointments recently have been virtual so I haven't had to do that which has been kind of nice but my medical planner is actually very similar sized to this so it's really easy for me to throw it in my bag and I don't have to worry um about bending the pages or anything like that because for me I feel like it's like really nicely protected um I don't know I just I just really like that kind of style for someone that just needs to have their schedule with them all the time but my more decorative planner just sits on my desk that's just my style so anyway but um yeah so there's this which is the same as the last one also this is exactly the same as well obviously it's a little bit bigger clearly just because we're in bigger pages and I kind of I'm living for these pages by the way and then we've got our 2020 planning overview which by the way I love this page just because it's so versatile and you can do so many different things with it oh and then by the way um I know it might be a little bit difficult to see maybe you can see it um the little perforated edges right here you can um these are the ones I was talking about with the perforated page corners you can remove these and they act like a bookmark so you can start removing them because they go all the way through and then you can use that as where you are in your book if you want to so um yeah that's kind of a kind of a cool thing all right see I'm screwing it up again here we go all right so if you really overview again of 2021 and 2022 your 2021 holidays let's see here here and then yeah these are the same as the last ones and are these pages I feel like this paper is a little thicker hold on let me let me let me feel it hold on guys the paper is definitely different this to me like this paper is a little bit more gritty I don't mind a gritty paper at all it's still smooth but it's just got a little bit more grip to it where this is very silky um almost feels a little thicker like a little heartier in a way does that make some papers I don't think either one's a bad one I'm just saying like it feels different I mean clearly it's a different you know anyway so yeah weekly is exactly the same as the last planner I just showed just like that so yeah and then you can transfer over your monthly word as well as those goals that we had talked about before um which is really nice I'm kind of like this kind of muted colorway which also matches a lot of their covers so again I'm not going to go through every single month because they're all exactly the same but let's go to the end of the month because you know I never I never know oh there is actually extra sheets in the back hold on here hold on getting excited guys getting excited okay so here's the end of the year or the beginning of the next year 2022 so there are a few lined pages in the back still has the perforation on the corners if you guys can see so you could use these for anything and then we've got our hard cover on the back as well very cute very
