Hi Amanda. :) I realize most of your viewers are ladies, but I thought I would chime in and say how grateful I am that the companion notebooks come in colors that aren't in the "pink" range. LOL. I very much appreciate your thorough reviews!
Hey Ted;) That is a really good point! and I should have shouted that out in the video- that they do make options for those that want gender neutral:) Thanks for watching, and for taking time to chat and share your thoughts;) Have a good one!
What a great testimonial! I love hearing that:) I hope you will love the new covers and coil as much as I do:) thanks for watching and taking time to share your thoughts;)
Coming back to this video from 8 months ago. I bought the quarterly goal-setting books and have been using them for the past six months. I admit, among all the luxury planners, this is by far my favorite paper. I really enjoy documenting my goals in it. I may consider ordering the full-year planner this year.
They do have great paper;) And I think you would love the flagship planner. It is my favorite product from them. I pull mine out often and play in it and have used it for a number of months before too. They have perfected the coil and the cover on the flagship!
Have never been in the market for a goal planner BUT that folio is stunning and I saw they will have one in my signature color, Navy too. So very tempting! I may get that & the dot grid notebooks too!
Amanda another awesome review ! You always include so many details I wouldn’t even think of!! I love Makselife but can’t decide on a cover!!! I like several of them!!
Aw, thank you Carol:) And I do still forget things I wanted to say- even right now I am thinking of something I left out...LOL. The covers are so GOOD this year- the choice is hard. Have a good night Carol:)
Hi Amanda! Thanks for another fantastic review. I was 1st introduced to Makse life thru your channel. I used the $5 off code you provided to get my 1st planner earlier this year and I really like it. I am loving the change to the spiral coil. The pink floral cover is gorgeous! Thanks so much for all the hard work you put in. Your reviews are super helpful and very thorough. You do a great job explaining everything! Love all your content! 😍❤🥰
I thought the green cover was the Best, THEN I saw the pink... I lost my heart LOL!! Lovely!! Thanks for the thorough reviews. The coordinating washi tape ring is genius!!
Reporting back because I just made my purchase! I did go with Moxie cover in vertical! I also got raspberry folio; makse markers; matching moxie washi; rainbow washi; sticky booklet; mini stickies in pastel; and goal setting bookmarks!
Thank you for the discount codes! I tried Makselife last year but got overwhelmed with all the planners and really didn't go past the first quarter. This year, I'm doing the undated monthly and see if i can use that with my other planners. I'm completely chaning my planning system next year to Hobonichi, even though I really love the laural denise planners. It's so hard to choose! So, these codes help when I'm making my purchases and experimenting.
Hi:) I am so glad my videos and codes are helpful! I know it is so hard to choose because these companies just get better every year! I hope the Makselife companion notebooks work for you with Hobonichi this year;) It sounds like a great combo!
I are you going to use the weekly layouts as your planner? Or just as a check in? I love the flagship...but if you want a small a5 system for just your goals then go with the companion notebooks and folio. All great products and well made:) It's exciting to try Makse for the first time!
Thank you so much for your flip through. I can't wait to get my new MakseLife planner this year. It's the perfect fitness/wellness/goals planner for me.
I think my favorite cover this year is Shine or the Messy Bits. I got Messy Bits bc I was worried I might get sick of looking at the Shine all year. I also had to pick up an Emotional Support Hoodie! And it’ll probably get to me just in time for the weather here in TX to start cooling off! The shipping was a little expensive, but I think shipping in general has just gotten so expensive, and everyone with Amazon prime is just blissfully unaware 😂😂😂 As always, this was such an in depth review and walkthrough of everything, so thank you! Your videos are always so helpful!
Hi Elise:) I love your thoughts on the cover choice:) and that hoodie looks so cozy! I am waiting for that first cold breeze here in Texas with you! I agree with you on shipping...we are spoiled by Prime! Thank you for your kind compliment on this video:) Have a great day and enjoy that Makselife box when it arrives!
Does Makselife do sales? And do their planners sell out (I like the green)? I purchased a dated planner that began in August and now I totally wish I would have waited. I didn't realize how much having the goal system built in would have served me. I'm trying not to be dramatic but...😭 bummer. I've also been looking at Power Sheets/ Cultivate what matters and I'm thinking Makselife may be a better fit for me because I tend to overthink. Power Sheets may be too much for me. Your videos are amazing, Amanda! Thank you so much.
Hi:) I can't remember what the ML black Friday sale is like. I know they do some stuff on sale- but maybe not the flagship?! I am going to have to pay attention to what they do this year. My Powersheets review comes out Tuesday, Oct. 3rd:) It is already up for my Patrons to view it. You can join there just for one month and see all my videos there and there is not commitment. Just FYI. I love hearing how much Makse has helped you! What a great testimonial. As far as covers selling out...honestly I don't remember any selling out right off last year...I think they order enough to last a bit. But if there is one that you want- and you wouldn't be okay with any other one...then you might want to order it sooner rather than later;)
Could we get a weight for the folio with the four companion/dot grid notebooks in it? I’m on the fence between folio or planner and I want the lighter one :)
Love this review! ❤️🤗✨ I love MakseLife! I love the flagship, even though I use other planner systems I will be using it for gratitude and specific goal tracking.. I will also be copying my monthly goals into Planner Perfect monthly goal section and integrate into my days.. the ML flagship (horizontal) will be on one side that days goals focus as well as on the other side a daily memory or gratitude or scripture..! Will be using your affiliate link and code thanks Amanda for an excellent and thoughtful review! 💕👏🏼✨✨
I have the same Hobonichi HON cats cover that you were gifted by your friend. Question...does it happen to fit in the back pocket on the Makselife folio? I'm trying the companion notebooks this year, and I know that I don't want to carry all four of them around, but if I knew that i could just tuck the back cover of that HON in and put one companion notebook and some other misc. notebooks in the folio, I'd love to ask for the plum one for Christmas. Any chance you could try that out? Thanks for the video! I love your channel.
Great video! Thanks for being so thorough! I used the Companion notebooks the first year they came out and they got me in a habit of weekly & monthly review that has stayed with me. I wonder if a torn-out companion review page would fit in a Hobonichi Cousin?
They do not. But they are coming our with some new undated planners- that's all I can say until tomorrow...My video will go up tomorrow at at noon (CT).
@@AmandasFavorites I ordered the MäksēLife quarterly goal-setting planner without dates to complement my other planners. It arrived yesterday, and OMG, this system is truly amazing. I love every aspect of it. This year, I've stepped up my planning game. I continue to use Planner Perfect (only the planner package) for daily tasks, EC for weekly and monthly planning, and I've added the Hoboniche Weekly to my purse for on-the-go planning. I also ordered the Laurel Denise planner for work and the Ashly Shelly (your design) for my desk. I discovered all these planners through your channel. And I love them all.

I used Makselife for two years and skipped this year and definitely felt the difference. Will be ordering again this year
What a great testimonial! I love hearing that:) I hope you will love the new covers and coil as much as I do:) thanks for watching and taking time to share your thoughts;)
The Moxie cover is my favorite for 2024 and I’m excited to switch into a flagship from using their companion notebooks this year. 😊
Oh, that will be such a FUN switch! And that cover is STUNNING;) Have a good week!

I think the folio would be great just for notebooks/journals:) Definitely don't have to use their system to enjoy some of the other products;)

Me too! I was shocked how much I love it since i am not a huge pink person usually;)

Yes, that pink cover truly is stunning & joyful, happy, & hopeful!
Amazing review on amazing products!!
Thank you so much! I agree that they just get better and better every year!
Another great video! Love this covers! Thanks!
Thank you:) I am glad it was helpful. And the covers are so good!
Have been trying so hard to decide between Moxie & Messy Bits covers 😬 think I’m going with Moxie plus a folio and a bunch of accessories ❤
Oh, I Love that cover so much!

The Just Begin cover is my fave-love the design, colors, and saying on front/back!
I do love that one too:) I think they did a great job on covers this year;)

Ok, I printed out most of their free downloads. Hopefully that can help me until next year or a big sale. 🥹🤦🏼

Good question! the folio and all 4 books are 2lb 4oz. The Flagship planner is 2lb 5oz. Sooo close! That didn't help did it?!
I like the pink and yellow one.
It is so beautiful and happy!

Thank you Amanda you too! 💕
I can’t believe she doesn’t offer free shipping! Wow! I would love one buy one but not with the extra shipping cost.
I am sorry shipping puts it over the edge for you. Maybe see what kind of a black Friday sale they have?!

they fit great! I just shared that in a story on IG for you;) Hopefully you will see it;) That's a good question!
Hi Amanda, do you have a discount code? Sierra mentioned on the live last night that affiliates will have codes for 10% off. Thanks!
I was looking for that as well.
I just asked them...I will get back to you with a response:) Thanks for asking me!
I am checking on that;)
First time I've made your video on the first day❤
Aw:) I hope it was helpful and enjoyable:)
Do they have a July start?
They do not. But they are coming our with some new undated planners- that's all I can say until tomorrow...My video will go up tomorrow at at noon (CT).
I just don't know which floral cover to pick. I keep going back and forth.
Honestly, it is sooooo hard to decide! They are both stunning!
I could see myself time blocking for the different area’s of goals with the washi.
That is a great use of the washi!
When are they going to be available for 2024? I don't see any of these on thier webpage!
At noon (CT) Today! September 28th:)
