Aubrey Eastway: Createyou86 Fauxdori Review

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a planner! 
-Aubrey Eastway

I'm Aubrey - A part time special needs teacher, part time student, part time youth pastor, full time wife, and full time simplifier. I am an advocate for simple living. Simple living, to me, is living within your means and being content with what you have. I document my ever evolving journey, including my life in a tiny house, on my blog 528squarefeet.blogspot.com. We just bought our house and moved in last weekend. It’s a work in progress but my fauxdori has helped me tremendously with the move.
The fauxdori by Createyou86 gave me a customizable place to keep all my ideas, lists, and layouts. It was the perfect place to keep everything together. I’ll start off describing the structure of it first.
The skin of the Fauxdori is a thin piece of woven material. It is brown in color, but picks up different tones of coffee and honey due to the texture. Included was a lime green elastic waistband that is easily adjustable and movable depending on your needs. I liked the placement of mine as it came and didn’t see it necessary to move it.  It also came with one internal elastic. The fauxdori is also very flexible! I was able to include three small composition notebooks within it!
As you can see, all three notebooks fit within the Fauxdori with ease, and without force! My next step was labeling the notebooks to fit my needs.  
As you can see my very first notebook was completely dedicated to “to-do” lists for our move and home. I’m happy to report that I have achieved most, if not all, of the items on that first list! The next notebook I dedicated to room placement and layouts! Afterall, living in a 528 square foot home requires strategic and innovative thinking to furnish!
The final notebook was where I stored all of my color schemes, clippings, and paint chips for the house. It was my “inspiration” notebook where I kept all of my ideas and “wish lists” in one place.
Needless to say, having my fauxdori was a huge blessing, because I was able to collectively plan my move, I am happy to announce that we were able to move into our home (by ourselves!)  in one day! Our move was made simple and easy due to the fauxdori! Createyou86 has done a fantastic job of taking a popular and expensive planner type, and transforming it into a well designed planner for those with a smaller budget. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a planner or tool to compile several needs in one cohesive and structured place!
Createyou86 not only supplies quality, budget friendly material, but they are also constantly looking out for the latest trends and super communicative to their supporters. They are an evolving and adaptive company that monitors the shifts in the planning community. With that said, The first insert / journal was included with my purchase, but being an avid Filofaxer, I was a little overwhelmed by looking for additions that would fit or work well with the layout because I am new to the fauxdori planner style. Having said that, Createyou86 does a phenomenal job at responding to the needs of the planner community, and i can't wait to see what they come up with next.
