Getting Ready for 2019 + First Ever Giveaway

Does the title ring a bell?

Last December 26, 2017, I made a blog with the same title… But for 2018! Now I can’t believe that time passed so quickly and I’m finally writing this blog again talking about the planners I got this year.


In this blog though, let’s make this special by doing MY FIRST EVER GIVEAWAY!!!!!! So make sure to finish reading this blog so you can score one of the planners that I'm featuring here.

First things first…

My 2018 planner is now full; with just a few pages left for this year. It’s amusing and scary to know how time flies so fast. I’ve gotten through a few downs and a lot of ups this year and it’s overwhelming for me. From leaving my job to experiencing new things and basically growing mentally in my career, it’s just wow. This year, we also established our own foundation which is the Broadreach Foundation Ph wherein we have scored a few projects and partnerships in just a span of 6 MONTHS!!! It’s scary to think about it and before the year ends we still got a lot of activities lined up. To be honest, I have no idea what I am doing in my life. I am literally just going with the flow. A few weeks ago, I can’t believe that I got accepted and was given a scholarship to an international convention. I didn’t even plan going there. I have no idea what I did or what I am doing except for the fact that I just let the blessing drown me as I accept everything that I know I can manage to do. Maybe it’s one of the few traits that I acquired this year—- I became braver and spontaneous.

For this year, I used my Starbucks planner that I got from Singapore. I raved about how I easily got it in their coffee shop at the Changi Airport. This 2019, I asked someone to get me another Starbucks Singapore planner because I’m really into minimalistic planners. I wanted to get the Starbucks Travel Organizer in our local coffee shops but it’s been a while since I last drank their coffee. I just don’t like the idea of wasting money in a drink that I could make myself in my own home so it’s been quite a while since I last purchased a cup and of course, I don’t want to spend 200 bucks for 18 cups of coffee this year so yup, I’d pass (another reason is I’m slowly shifting to a zero-waste lifestyle so no coffeeshop drinks for me).

Truth be told, I’m happy with my Starbucks 2019 Planner from Singapore. It’s sleek, elegant, clean and functional. But for this year, I got two extra planners from Belle De Jour. I got their Navi and BDJ Power Planner when I got the chance to be invited to their launch event.

The Navi Planner is specially made for travelers or those who want to travel. They curated it to inspire people to travel more in 2019.

What I love about this planner is that it has this vintage elegance when it comes to the design and has unique features that travelers will definitely enjoy using.

For the Belle De Jour Power Planner, it is specifically curated for the girl bosses out there. It’s empowering, practical, and ultra chic. It also has different features that you don't think you needed like a mood tracker, period tracker, and budget tracker. ALSO, DID I MENTION THAT IT HAS COUPONS FOR DIFFERENT BOUTIQUES/PAMPER SERVICES AROUND THE METRO? Yup! You read that right :)

I love its pastel color and fun design. It just sets the mood to be positive throughout the year which is what every girl boss needs in their life.

And because I want to pay it forward before the year ends, I want to give out a Belle De Jour Power Planner to one lucky reader. YAYYYY!!! I’ve been wanting to do a giveaway here in my blog but I just can’t find the time to actually fix everything and NOW, HERE IT IS!!!!

1. Make sure that you are following our page: Wandering Panda

This is just my small way of giving back to you guys and I hope you could join.

xoxo,
