OVERALL:

I chose to customise and have a chic design for my 2017 planner since I picked the Ready-to-Ship option last year. I love that it is more personalised and Thumbs up on the new features and choices but there are some things that I personally didn’t like. Some of them are minor stuff but the coil is very important to me.

CONs:

I am really happy with the coil of the Rose Gold Planner because flipping the pages has never been smoother. However, when my order arrived, the first thing that I noticed was the size of the coil. The 2015 planner has the smallest size of the coil, next is the 2017 Planner and the biggest was the 2016 Rose Gold planner.

NOTES Page

Erin Condren reduced the number of pages on the 2017 Planner.

2015 Planner has

• 20 ruled pages
• 10 blank pages

2016 Rose Gold Planner has:

• 6 ruled pages
• 4 graph pages
• 5 blank pages

While the 2017 Planner has:

• 6 ruled pages
• 4 graph pages
• 4 blank pages

Lastly, the elastic band is still not included in the basic set of the planner, unlike my 2015 Gold foil which comes with a free metallic gold elastic band. It is sold separately and comes in a set of 3.

Among the three planners that I purchased, I say that the Rose Gold planner remains my favourite – the stunning colour combination (Rose Gold and Serenity) and coil size are just perfect! This is not that bad, but it could have been better.

There goes my review for the Erin Condren 2017 Life Planner. Thank you for reading and I’m looking forward to reviewing maybe another planner for 2017 so be sure to SUBSCRIBE and never miss my upcoming posts and reviews.
