Let's begin right away. ♥︎

LAYOUT 

The Sunnies Agenda is a yearly planner merch from Sunnies Studios, a Filipino lifestyle brand. This, if I may say, are one of those that creative mouses look forward to because of how creative each one is. This year's Agenda is all about wellness and healthy habits, and their focal point in forwarding that message is paying tribute to the Olympics. 

I appreciate this a lot since Hidilyn Diaz, a woman and also a Bisaya like myself, won the first-ever gold medal for the Philippines in the Olympics. So that's very thoughtful. 

Features you'll find: 

• hardbound cover
• sewn binding⏤can be laid flat :) 
• from the feel of it, the paper is 100 GSM
• weekly 12-month planner
• wellness exercises
• nutrition labels 101
• sports history
• healthier recipes
• coupons

I am absolutely in love with this illustrated spread

PEN-AND-PAPER TEST

Findings 

1. Stabilo bleeds. The bleed-through of the Stabilo Swing Cool is glaring, so that's something to consider, especially that I rated these highlighters a really high mark.
2. Other faint bleeds. There are faint bleeds from the Tombow and Mildliner inks. Please consider this too when purchasing (all the more when you're purchasing it with its full price!) because from what I know Tombows and Mildliners are the kinder types of inks out there. 
3. Smooth, matte paper. I didn't feel any tugging while writing on the paper. I was pleasantly surprised about this since it doesn't typically look like your usual "smooth paper"; it looks more matte and rough, if that makes sense. 😅

THE YELLOW LEGAL PAD TEST

pros

1. Info packed. So many new things to learn in this little book. In fairness, Sunnies Agendas have always been so informative with the concept their pulling of that year.
2. Really cool art. The overall design is definitely top notch. I love the retro illustrations and the color palette. 
3. Sturdy and durable. The planner itself feels really sturdy, so I think it would last you a while.
4. Dotted extra pages. As a huge fan of dotted pages, I really appreciate the extra back pages for quick notes, doodling, and brain dumping!!!  
5. Free sticker pack. There's an entire page of stickers, are you kidding me. I think this is a big pro. 

cons

1. Weekly pages layout. Honestly, I'm not a a fan of the weekly pages. They remind me of the typical planners found at department stores. ☹️
2. None of my big 3. It has none of my favorite features⏤the elastic, the back pocket, and the pen holder.
3. Can be expensive. It's expensive on its own, though it can be affordable if you purchase from them worth PHP 700+. Though it is to note that one transaction is equal to also one discounted planner. 
4. Personal con. I'm just not a fan of the Olympics, I'm sorry.

VERDICT

final rating: 4.3

RECOMMENDATION

If you're going to buy specs from there, I think that getting their planner for a discount is sulit (worth it). Also if you're big on health, sports, and wellness, this one has the perfect theme for you. It also gives value to your money with the coupons and sticker sheet bonuses. 

However, if you're just simply looking for a planner for the next year, this can be a little pricey. You'll surely find something so much more affordable for the same function. 😇
