March 21-27 Weekly Planner Layout

Hey Pals!
It's been too long since I posted something planner themed, so I thought I'd share my weekly layout for this coming week in my Plum Paper Planner!
I've mentioned it before, but I really just love my PPP, and can't recommend it highly enough if you're an Erin Condren fan, but aren't ready to pay the Erin Condren price! I'll link the Etsy shop at the bottom of this article!
I am not huge on a ton of stickers because sometimes my planner can get a little busy, but I love using colorful functional stickers, and adding a little flair with some washi tape!
Comment below with your favorite way to decorate your planner!!



 Not everything is filled out yet, somethings are still up in the air, and I just hate having to cross things out! Also, I save the bottom check list boxes for homework assignments that are assigned throughout the week! 



Enjoy!
Xoxo, CourtneyBridget

My Favorite Spring Break Outfits

Well hello there my dear friends!
I am back from Florida, tan, blonde, and a little bit itchy (It's not spring break if you don't give yourself a little sun poisoning)
I really didn't go off the resort property much because I wanted to soak up as much sun as possible, however I did want to share 2 of my favorite outfits from the trip!

Outfit #1:
My first night I was lucky enough to meet up with one of my closest friends and wander around Disney Springs eating Mickey Ice Cream Bars and visiting all the cute little shops! It was actually a little chilly this evening so I decided on my classic Old Navy white V-Neck tee shirt, my favorite Ann Taylor LOFT navy knit skirt, my silver Jack Rogers sandals, and a basic light gray cardigan from H&M! As far as jewelry, I kept it simple with a silver bangle, and some flash tattoos!



Outfit #2:
On the 4th day, we decided to venture out to Celebration, the small community run by Disney. It's super cute and has a bunch of little boutiques and restaurants (including a macaron store... #blessed). I went with casual but cool, considering it was almost 90 degrees! My shorts are the J.Crew 3" chino short, in a super rich olive green color, and my purple and gray floral tank is from Ann Taylor LOFT. I paired that with some easy brown leather sandals with some gold detailing from Target, and finished off the look with a statement necklace from Forever 21!


Though it's not much, I hope this gives you some outfit inspiration for your upcoming trip! And if you're not going anywhere, don't  worry! Spring and summer are just around the corner!

What's in my Carry-On Bag

Well here I am on the plane, they have wifi on these things now, how insane is that?
So you may be planning your own spring break trip and thinking to yourself, well what should I have with me on the plane? Well fear not! I have all the answers…

First of all, my bag: I found this amazing bag from target, from the ‘Merona’ brand, and its literally a giant bucket. It holds everything! Be warned though, there are no pockets within the bag, so it really isn’t a purse, but it’s so great for travel, as long as you have a few small pouches to hold your smaller items like makeup, pens, and dare I say it, tampons.
I'll link a few bags down below that are similar to mine! 

So first of all, God forbid my luggage is ever stolen, I always have a bathing suit and a cover up with me in my carry-on, because though I may have no clean clothes, at least I can get in the pool!
Next I pack a small makeup bag with ‘emergency supplies’ like Advil, my anxiety medication, Band-Aids, a Tide-To-Go stick, a few bobby pins and hair ties. These are essentials that I really want to have on hand with me just in case anything happens.
Second, I take care of my small carry on liquids, everyone knows the quart size plastic bag rule so I won’t bore you all.
Next, I pack a few things to keep me busy while on the plane. I’m currently reading ‘7 Habits for Highly Effective People’, so I have that with me, my planner, and of course my laptop. I’m only flying to Florida, so I won’t really need much more than that, for a longer flight, I would probably bring a DVD, and a neck pillow/eye mask combo for a little nappy.
The last few things are pretty obvious, I always have my wallet, a small bag of pretzels, my chargers and sunglasses for when I’m greeted by that gorgeous Florida sun.

So where are you going this spring break? What are you bringing with you? Any tips or tricks?
Wherever you go, enjoy it!
