The Things I Do for Love: The 2014 Belle de Jour Power Planner

The Belle de Jour Power Planner is one of the first things that I post every year. Even though I already bought it months before (like every BDJ Fair ^_^), I don't write anything on it until January comes. Yep, even if it means stopping myself from writing on its gorgeous pages. For me, it is solely for 2014, so everything should be written when the right time comes.

The 2014 Belle de Jour Power Planners in leather and matte covers

The 2014 Belle de Jour Power Planner is available on leather and matte covers. The contents are the same, so don't worry. It just depends on your preference. I'm so happy that Viviamo! offered the option of personalizing the planner. Yay! Actually, there were two cover options available for that. I chose the traditional one with the BDJ girl on the cover. I like that cartoon and I'm not letting go of that. Here it is, my very own 2014 BDJ Planner (matte cover):

Every purchase enables you to have a BDJ Lifestyle card which would be your discount card as well as your ticket to various Belle de Jour events.

Let me share with you guys the beautiful contents of Belle de Jour Power Planner. For 2014, they adapted the tapestry motif in Aztec and Tribal patterns. I absolutely adore the creativity of the BDJ Team! The first page already tells a lot:

As written on the first page

The next page is colorful and it tells the much needed information regarding the owner. My favorite is on the blank space which goes: This 2014, I will make my life a masterpiece by _______.

About the owner

There is also a very inspiring foreword by the woman who started BDJ, Darlyn. It is a great read about how starting on something doesn't mean you need to be 100% ready. All you need to do is simply start.

As a blogger, I absolutely love this next page....

Blog ideas for 2014!

It is the Blog Ideas page! Cool! I can finally have a space in my planner for that strike of the moment blog strategies!

Next ones have always been my favorites. The 2014 Goals page make me hopeful and the Dream Board page keeps me inspired. I'm so happy that they allotted two pages for the latter. That means more hopes and dreams....

It's never too early to plan your vacations.

Alright so let's head on the monthly and daily pages. I always look forward to the informative and creatively designed monthly dividers. And for each month, there is a summary calendar where you can put all the major events. I do that and it helps me keep track of the happenings in cosplay, blogging, or work life.

A mini calendar is there at the start of the month.

And some much needed advice section is there too

For the weekly pages, there is a small space to list your priorities and errands, and some inspiring line at the top and bottom parts.

Along with some priorities are some little tidbits of happiness

The daily pages have more space and time prints for weekdays and two small boxes for weekends. The layout of the planner is cool and pleasing to the eyes. It helps spark that creativity in you.
