Organizers, planners and travel essentials!

For a generation and more who grew up on the staple diet of F.R.I.E.N.D.S, including me, the cult sitcom provided catharsis to the ordeals of life as well as a mode of reliving the bygone moments spent with our pals! Each of the characters was just so relatable that we could identify ourselves on screen! I have personally loved Monica and I am sure we all have that one friend who loves to swear by lists and categories, plans ahead, ensures perfection and is a cleanliness freak! Well I have streaks of Monica in me. I use organizers, planners and travel essentials for specific purposes to keep things organized and planned in order to avoid fuss. Today I am going to pen down the essentials of organizing for home, travel and work.

Pamper the Monica in you:

Notebooks, diaries, planners and pocketbooks give me a high. Only a stationery addict will know the seduction of such stationeries. It is very important to have planners that will enable you to self organize and a keep tab on your activities. Digitizing is a smart option but the smell of pages can be a turn on and there’s no denying the classic appeal of writing with your customized wooden pen or quilt pen on these gorgeous planners.

Planners

For those who love timetable, regular planners in daily or weekly templates is ideal. These are indispensable if you are neck deep in work and don’t want to forget the daily details. Ecrivez offers customized planners to cater to your taste. What is even more exciting? You can add customized stickers ranging from cute cupcakes to romantic flowers that I just can’t get enough of!

Recipe journals

If you are the one who loves to spin magic with culinary skills or just an epicurean, who loves to have her own treasure of recipe collection, then get yourself a recipe journal without much ado. Propshop24 has few recipe journals that are perfect to embark on your documentation journey!

Travel Diaries

If you are a travel addict or someone who is always on the go then you must gift yourself a travel diary. With its template for checklists, things to remember and a day-to-day account it will make traveling a hassle free experience. Love the range of travel and adventure collection from Type7design. With printed vehicles and hot air balloon on the cover, recording travel experiences has never been this fun!

Academic Journals

For the geeks out there an academic journal or an academic planner will help you to keep a tab on the dates of paper presentation, submission, deadlines and so much more. You can trust Ecrivez to get your customized academic journals. So you can choose a cover with wooden finish feel and owls to keep the journal geeky and peppy like the one I did. P.S. You can find how it turned out on my official IG account ‘Sayendri_coral_pixie’.

Bridal Planner

Planning for the wedding can lead to sleepless nights so don’t forget to get your bridal planner and remain the coolest bride in town! Loved the chic floral printed bridal planner from The Papier Project also endorsed by HouseofMisu bloggers!

There are also meal planners to chalk out your diet, grocery list to ensure your kitchen boasts of all the essentials and planners for the to-be-mother to outline her health and diet chart. Once again The Papier Project has all these and more.

When organizing can be fun:

Don’t be bogged down if you are not endowed with sprawling space in your home. All you need is smart and sleek storing options.

Shoe organizer

If you are a shoe addict and hates it when you have to pile up shoes, then worry no more! Foldable and space saving shoe organizers are all you need to create a beautiful display for your enviable collection. Fashionandyou, Pepperfry and Shopperstop have these convenient shoe organizers.

Bra organizer

This is particularly for the wanderlust who has to travel all the time. A bra organizer will neatly organize your lingerie. In addition, in case of lingerie emergency you don’t have to rummage your entire travel closet! You can find bra organizers in pop shades on Flipkart.

Trunks

Another way to store shoes is trunks. You can even store clothes, books or collectibles. Trunks have a vintage vibe and add up as a home accessory too. Chumbak boasts of a droolworthy range of trunks for various storage purposes, from facial tissue to sweets. Trunks can also be used for carrying travel essentials.

Travel in style:

If you are a woman on the go, make sure you have all these to travel with panache and comfort.

Strolley

It is easy to carry because of the wheels and saves you the pain of weightlifting! It is Ideal for carrying hefty luggage.

Duffle bag

For a weekend getaway when you don’t want to carry much, duffle bags are the deal sealer. The straps allow it to carry it on the shoulder making it highly portable.

Envelope bag

Envelope bags are functional and real space savers. They are like tote bags in which you can carry all your essentials and when not in use it can be folded into an envelope. Shop from Wildcraft for these travel babies!

Backpack

If you are more of a bag packer who loves to go on road trips and want to carry all your essentials for better mobility, then bag packs are your thing!

Make-up pouch

Organizing your make-up essentials is a must while traveling or otherwise. Printed pouches, kitsch designs or graphic vibes – choose whatever caters to your taste. Elephant Company, Chumbak, Eattravelsplurge and Propshop24 should be your go to option.

Passport cover

Do not forget to carry your passport and more importantly don’t forget to deck up your passport with a quirky and fun passport cover. These covers can keep your passport safe from wear and tear while making the process fun at the same time. Love the charm engraved passport covers from Etsy.com!

For duffle bags, bagpacks and strolleys I swear by VIP, Samsonite and American Tourister.

Hope this was helpful. So celebrate the Monica in you and start shopping! Xoxo!
