Ban.do Agenda GIVEAWAY (closed)

If there's any back to school essential I feel particularly passionate about it is the agenda. Whether you are starting a new grade, going off to college, or beginning a new job, I cannot stress enough how important and beneficial it is to have something to write everything down in. You may consider yourself not the agenda-type, but what I have to show you today is a real game changer.

I have had an agenda every year since I wore a bow to match my skort. I have used the ever-popular Lilly Pulitzer planner and the cute and classy Kate Spade one as well, but I have a new favorite.

The ban.do agenda is fun, organized, roomy, and inexpensive - all things I look for in a planner. As much as I live by these babies, I don't like to spend $50+ on them. I have the small size which was $20 (10% off of that if you're a first time shopper on their website!) and my wallet and I are very happy.

So, why this agenda over the other popular brands? Let's talk pros and cons real fast before we get into the good stuff. And I mean GOOD. STUFF. You may have seen the title about the giveaway, so keep reading, peeps!

Pros:
-it's better looking than I am, swear it has better contour
-the small size isn't too small
-the spaces for the weekly planning are nice and big, so my homework, meetings, and blog to-dos fit perfectly
-there's a list of holidays inside including holidays like National Thrift Shop Day and National Kick Butt Day (ok, so cool)
-once again, love the price!
-THEY HAVE STICKERS YA'LL
-colorful pages announcing the month
-cute ribbon for holding your spot
-a flowchart to help me decide if I need to wash my hair or use my favorite dry shampoo.


Cons:
-the weekly planning pages aren't lined
-no address book (do people still use these?)
-it doesn't last forever (starts July of 2015, ends December of 2016)
