This week was WEEK TWO of #bloggersBTS or in real human words.. Bloggers Go Back to School. You know, that HUGE linkup that Nicole and I are hosting ALL MONTH LONG! So the week before the linkup started, my friends, Jamie and Nicole and I all co hosted our first twitter chat. And let me tell you, it was a huge success (read the recap here)! When the linkup started the following week, the three of us knew we would have to start doing these weekly in honor of going back to school (.. ew right.. but #bloggerblab makes it a little more fun.) and to go along with the linkup! So then last week was fashion week on #bloggerblab (check the recap here). And this past week was ORGANIZATION -- so that's what we discussed on Wednesday night at 8:45-10 ish! Keep reading to see what happened, we had so many girls that were all so active and the chat was crazy.. but don't get me wrong, I LOVED IT, just expect some craziness in this post!
basically how the chat started.. We love Brooke!
@HappinessAndTea Nourish your soul with #BloggerBlab …. who needs vegetables when you've got this going on, am I right!?!?!?! ;)
— Brooke Safferman (@ThePinkLyme) August 13, 2015
And another reason we love Brooke...
@empire_styles @classycathleen @fashionnewcomer #BloggerBlab gives me the same feeling that I get when I see my food coming at a restaurant.
— Brooke Safferman (@ThePinkLyme) August 13, 2015
Then after a bunch of happy introductions, some old faces, some new faces.. we got into questions!
1. What is your fav agenda? Do you use any organizational system in it? #bloggerblab
— Cathleen Slagle (@classycathleen) August 13, 2015
And here's what we learned:
1. I got my planner from Target this year. I think the brand is Blue Sky, but I love the size and the pattern! #bloggerblab
— Abigail Thomas (@abithomas45) August 13, 2015
@classycathleen LILLY PULITZER AGENDAS are life girl! #BloggerBlab
— Faith Allyn Dumais☀️ (@_faithdumais) August 13, 2015
@classycathleen I've been loving the Kate Spade agenda lately!! #bloggerblab
— Nicole (@empire_styles) August 13, 2015
@classycathleen My Kate Spade agenda is amazing; super plain pages but means more excuse to color code 😎📖 #BloggerBlab
— Shelby Howell (@ShelbySHowell) August 13, 2015
A1 @classycathleen #bloggerblab I've only ever used Lilly Pulitzer, I use different colors for different assignments, test, appts, etc.
— Cierra (@bestoflemons) August 13, 2015
@classycathleen (part 1) definitely the @shopbando agenda! & @_ssblog and I are giving one away on our blogs 😍#BloggerBlab
— Cristina Mandujano (@cristina96x) August 13, 2015
A1: Currently in a serious relationship with my @ErinCondren Life Planner #BloggerBlab
— Saba Sahmoedini (@peoniesinthepac) August 13, 2015
A1: Not sure if it's my favorite but I use a Vera Bradley agenda and color code by class/activity! #BloggerBlab
— Madison (@madsmayb) August 13, 2015
@classycathleen I love my Lilly Pulitzer agenda! However, I just received one from Rifle Paper Co. and I excited to try it! #Bloggerblab
— Sarah Beth (@GirlMeetsStyle_) August 13, 2015
@classycathleen I spent all my money on shoes (typical) so I just got the VS Pink one instead of the Day Designer :'(((((( </3 #BloggerBlab
— Brooke Safferman (@ThePinkLyme) August 13, 2015
We got all kinds of responses! The obvious Lilly & Kate.. But also some Erin Condren and Ban.do too! Oh and how could I forget Vera Bradley and Rifle Paper Co.. Even VS!
I find it absolutely NECESSARY to have two separate agendas for life and blogging! Anyone else agree? #BloggerBlab
— Ashley Mason (@lillyandlemons) August 13, 2015
We LOVE it when y'all ask side questions that go along with the conversation! Ashley's question started a few conversations which was great!
My setup for #BloggerBlab tonight is on point 😍 pic.twitter.com/jpOF9XW4qd
— Cristina Mandujano (@cristina96x) August 13, 2015
And Cristina's view during #bloggerblab was just too beautiful
Then the next question rolled around...
Do you use Evernote? If so, tell us about why you like it! #bloggerblab
— Nicole (@empire_styles) August 13, 2015
Not interested in trying it! I need a physical list in front of me. 😊 #BloggerBlab https://t.co/1j99XdDZ3W
— Ashley Mason (@lillyandlemons) August 13, 2015
@empire_styles just started to try out Evernote! Not sure how I feel just yet! #BloggerBlab

@empire_styles Just started using it, it's perfect for me since everything is one place. #bloggerblab
— Jazmine Brown (@HappinessAndTea) August 13, 2015

@empire_styles I just started using it this week! I love it because it's so easy and keeps everything in one place. #bloggerblab
— Live The Prep Life (@livethepreplife) August 13, 2015
@empire_styles I've used it to annotate PPTs. I'm not sure if I like it better than OneNote, but I do like it! #bloggerblab
— Mallory Bartel (@mal_bartel) August 13, 2015
Y'all's responses were just so great! We got so many mixed opinions and real discussions already in the first two questions!

@fashionnewcomer that's what I prefer!! Everything separate & easy to get to! #BloggerBlab
— Faith Allyn Dumais☀️ (@_faithdumais) August 13, 2015
@fashionnewcomer #bloggerblab separate binders! no way I could keep everything in one.
— Cierra (@bestoflemons) August 13, 2015
A3: I use a 5 subject notebook so I don't have to worry about forgetting one & one folder bc I don't have a lot of loose paper #BloggerBlab
— Madison (@madsmayb) August 13, 2015
@fashionnewcomer @empire_styles I have one big binder for all my classes, with a folder for each class inside #bloggerblab
— Live The Prep Life (@livethepreplife) August 13, 2015
@fashionnewcomer I like binders tho! It keeps everything organized & if you miss a day you can easily put things in the right spot!
— Seashells + Sparkles (@_ssblog) August 13, 2015
@fashionnewcomer yes! In college it's good to have one for your MWF classes and one for T/Th! In high school I split it up too :)
— Cristina Mandujano (@cristina96x) August 13, 2015
@fashionnewcomer I would split mine up to 2 subject per binder. Then I split up the binders with dividers. #bloggerblab
— Sarah Beth (@GirlMeetsStyle_) August 13, 2015
And then I must have forgot to invite Lila to the #bloggerblab.. poor puppy was sad
— Seashells + Sparkles (@_ssblog) August 13, 2015
