Tidying Up with Marie Kondo on Netflix is all the rage this month. You can’t do a Facebook scroll without seeing what everyone loves or hates about the show and the KonMari Method of cleaning your house. Personally, I love her! She’s an adorable sprite that I want to put in my pocket to carry…

We’re on the brink of 2019, so I know many of you are scrambling to find your perfect paper planner.
