A Community of Planners
Before I discovered the extensive hobby of planning, I was first introduced to cute planners that I used strictly for academic and work purposes for years. Fast-forward a little bit and I stumbled upon various "plan with me" YouTube videos that really peaked my interest in the hobby; everything from gorgeous washi tape, colorful archival pens, to stylish stickers, caught my eye immediately. The reason I became so addicted is that of all the aesthetic and visual value these decorations were giving the planner to enhance its appearance, function, and purpose. Fast-forward past hours (and I mean hours) of research, and I discover a whole community of people passionate about planners, just like myself. Hashtags including #beforethepen #weeklyspread #spreademwide, #fridayfuncorner, #washiwednesday, and so on an so forth gave the planning process another purpose: to network with others with the same addiction and passion for creating beautiful life plans. And this is how I became addicted and roped in into this community of planners.
What I'm About
Hi! My name is Destiny, and I love using, crafting, making, modifying, using, and utilizing all different types of planners to their fullest potential. I believe in achieving dreams, goals, and ideas, and I believe the best way to do so is by having a planner by your side to help you plan, organize, and even record every step of the way.
In this blog, you will see helpful tips, hints, adjustments, recommendations, and just simple fun regarding planners and planning out your life. Let's get started! :)
Come to get to know a little bit about me and my partner in crime.

Planner Fanatic
I'm pretty simple. I love giving my insight and advice to help make the world a better place, one day at a time. My full job is teaching high school kids how to read and write, but I feel as if my duty is to guide them on their path to what they aspire to be. So, some days that can be lessons in grammar and how to formulate an essay, and other days it's giving life lessons that they will remember (hopefully) for their challenging days to come. I am an avid dog lover, video-gaming, nerd-indulging human being who loves entertaining and being entertained. I believe in self-healing and setting visions to live a happy and successful life.

Nilla Bean
My birth name is Aloy (from the PlayStation 4 hit title "Horizon: Zero Dawn") but my commonly used name is Nilla because my coat is an off-white, like vanilla. I am a Chihuahua mixed with an unknown breed, but I know I am mixed with love, determination, and loyalty. I love to chew, play fetch with my favorite ball, sit at the dinner table, and cuddle when my mom is doing work or playing video games. I'm a handful, no doubt, but I am loved nonetheless.
