We are seeking fresh, talented individuals for our Media & Creative Team! With a new year around the corner we thought this would be a great time to announce and select our new team.

Who We Want

We want passionate planners. We want the people that keep it simple and the people that get creative with all of the bells and whistles. We want anyone who is passionate about productivity, goals, and the power of writing it down. We want people that are into their art journals and lovers of the Traveler's Notebook systems!

Beautiful Photography

A lot of what we ask from you is pretty images. We love sharing your pictures of Limelife products on Instagram and we want to see your planning in all it's HD glory. Here's an example of an excellent photo from a blog post written by past M&CT member Meka Allen. 

You don't need a fancy lighting rig or super expensive camera (although that's great if you do have that!). Find some time to take your pictures during the day, in front of a window with natural light and capture a nice picture with your phone. Here are some resources with tips on how to get great photos. There is a lot of info on flat lay photography but don't be afraid to break the stationery mold and take a different route: 

Creativity

By creativity we don't mean you have to be the next Michelangelo. What we really want is for you to have a creative mind so you can write about topics that you would want to read about. A big part of the M&CT job is writing blog posts. We want you to come to the team full of ideas on what you want to write and what images you want to share with our readers. Here's an example of a great post from Katie Clark.

One of the great features of Limelife’s planners is the amount of note pages included. There are so many different ways you can use them: taking notes, meal planning, grocery lists, to-do lists, packing lists, etc. I find myself using the notes pages around the monthly spread for to-do lists of things that should get done at some point in that month, but don’t have to be done on a specific date.

I’ve also used the pages near the monthly spread as a place to make a packing list. I went on a trip over my spring break in March, so I made my packing list on the March notes pages. This is one of my favorite uses for the notes pages, not only because it helps me ensure I have everything I need for a trip, but because it also means I have a fun trip planned :) In this case, my categories were clothes, toiletries, and miscellaneous. I split clothes into tops & dresses, bottoms, shoes, and miscellaneous to make sure I covered everything.

I typically use the notes section at the back of the planner for taking notes at miscellaneous meetings. During this last year of college, I had a variety of groups and meetings I had to attend, but none of them were frequent enough to need their own notebook. I also use it for notes about things I need to get set up – for example, I was recently looking for an apartment so I used the notes pages as a place to keep information about that (phone numbers, addresses, prices, dates of showings, etc.).

It’s officially summer now, so I figured it was time to throw together a summer bucket list! As a recent college grad myself, most of these activities are geared towards the twenty-something audience (but many are also pretty versatile).

As a midwesterner through and through, I have learned to love each season as it is present. I miss winter in the summer, and I miss the summer in the winter. I think having four pretty distinct seasons makes me appreciate each one more.

This is my first summer whose end won’t be marked by returning to school. During the last few weeks, I’ve been making little notes in my planner when I got ideas of things to do this summer. I’ve compiled some of them here!

 

 

In addition to all of the wonderful products you can purchase from Limelife, they also offer a variety of printables for FREE! You can view them all here!

 

 

There are general ones such as calendar pages, a meal tracker, and several home-related checklists. I’m using the calendar pages this summer while I have a roommate so we can be aware of each others’ schedules/when one of us might be gone for a bit. We keep it on a bulletin board in the kitchen!

 

Also available are a variety of education printables, which are really awesome according to some teachers I’ve heard from (I think they look awesome too, but I’m not a teacher).

 

Lastly, there are also desktop wallpaper downloads. I used the Mandy Desktop Wallpaper on my computer at my internship last summer and was always getting comments from others about how cute it is. Once I get situated at my new job, I’ll get a Limelife wallpaper on that computer too – they are great for adding a pop of color to your workspace!

 

 

You don’t need any sort of code to get the printables and downloads for free, but if you’re interested in purchasing something else, here’s $10 off!

 

Feel free to say hi on Instagram @live.life.inspired! I’d love to see how you use Limelife printables!
