2021 Belle de Jour Power Planner Review

I am getting a lot inquiries and praises about my Belle de Jour Power Planner I posted on my Instagram account. That's why I decided to make a review.

PROLOGUE

2020 was such a challenging year! As what I've posted in Facebook, I called it a year of realizations and lessons on what really (should) matters in life. I wasn't able to get a real deal planner (got a simple one) for 2020 so comes November, I started browsing Lazada and Facebook for planners that would fit me and serves me well. I started adding to cart but couldn't find it in my heart to check out (he-he). 

Then, I saw Belle de Jour Power Planner on my Facebook timeline. I cannot remember if it was a sponsored post because I was too excited when I saw the designs. I checked the videos, Facebook comments and designs and immediately went to Belle de Jour Power Planner website, searched for the aesthetic version I wanted and checked out. That's how fascinated and stunned I was.

THE REVIEW

Dislcaimer: This is not a paid review. This is entirely my personal view. All pictures/images used on this post (except the first one) belongs to Belle de Jour and I asked for their permission to use them on this post.

DESIGN - This is the cover design I've chosen among those which are available for 2021. To me, it looks like an empowered woman who is ready to slay the whole year round with calmness and grace. The cover is hard, the picture of the Bella girl is glossy and the logo is holographic as it claims. 

12 SPECIAL PAGES  It has 12 special pages. According the BDJ Website, some of the pages were designed to help its owner find clarity and purpose to live a meaningful life. I couldn't agree more. From goal settings to mood meter, monthly checklist, the dream board are just some of my favorites. But the "Power Up your Year" page is really empowering. It has 12 spaces, one for each month where you can write  your power up word. It served as a guide on how I live my daily life. For January, I wrote "GROW"....with a mindset that I water myself daily in all aspects so that I can give more to others. The word also became the theme of my Instagram account haha! It's exciting!

It has monthly calendars where you can write birthdays or most important errands. It has space for good habits you want to focus on. But on the vertical weekly layout, there's these special spaces for things you want to accomplish for work, the community, personal errands and the things I am grateful for. There's also spaces below which I used for bible verses and inspirational words I read everywhere. It also  has QR code from their partner brands. It will lead you to videos on how to improve your life. 

Now the add ons.... it has elastic garter to keep the planner intact, the back pocket is actually spacious and it didn't came empty. It has a booklet called "Perks of a Bella". It's full of deals and discount coupons from different brands like Revlon, Bayo, Serenitea, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Jergens and Zalora to name a few.

It has 2 colored ribbons which is very helpful in tagging the different parts of the planners which I constantly use. It also came with 2 magnetic bookmarks which are unique and trendy way to mark this powerful planner.

The Belle de Jour Power Planner is not just an ordinary planner and organizer because it is a guide on how to achieve your best self and your full potential in a year.

And if you're thinking if it's too late to get a planner, no it's not! Head over to  Belle de Jour Power Planner Website  to get yours. It has complete details regarding delivery, ETA and mode of payment. They also offer customization on some modes of payment. They have COD payment method and that is what I opted for. The cons is that you cannot avail the customization. But I am okay with that. There's a disclaimer which reminds everyone that delivery might take a few days or weeks due to community quarantine in different delivery locations, but mine was delivered on time.

You can also shoot them a message on their Facebook Page. They are very helpful and accommodating.
