New Planner Time!! Hello #PurpleTrail
Well, HECK! As of May 2023, Purple Trail is no longer in business. I did grab this planner, which is working well for me this year. Y’all remember last year when I had the opportunity to review PurpleTrail? Well, I used it all year, and it is truly my favorite planner to date, so I ordered one for this year too. I love a new planner. I have tried to use electronic calendars, but they just aren’t for me. I want a pretty planner. I want to make notes, I want to add stickers, I want… I want….I want….. As The Husband would say, ‘A bottomless pit of wants and needs’. Yup, that’s me. PurpleTrail is perfect for me. Why? Because I DESIGNED it for ME! After using my first one from October 2021 till now I found that there were a few things I write down every week, SO WHY NOT have PurpleTrail put it in the planner for me?!?! I’m big on keeping track of my balances for PayPal, Amazon, and occasionally a miscellaneous credit card. I found a spot to write these totals and now it’s second nature…… NOW though its PRE PRINTED in the planner!! I done…

Trophy has the ultra rich stepping up from hunting animals for trophies to hunting people for sport. Wealthy and bored with hunting animals ultimate challenge is people. Trophy is so disturbing. SO addicting. I had to make deals with myself. Pack one box and read two chapters. Soon it was I’ll pack extra tomorrow. Staying up late at night to finish another chapter. It’s THAT good!!!
