Affiliate Spotlight: HoneyStyleJoy
Today we’re shining the spotlight on one of our amazing PlannerKate affiliates, the creative mind behind HoneyStyleJoy! From corporate life in New York to caretaking, content creation, and serious planner magic, she truly does it all — and makes it look good.

Tell Us a Little About Yourself!
She lives in The Bronx, New York, balancing life as a corporate Coordinator while also serving as a caretaker for her aging parents. On top of that, she runs her own side business rooted in her background as a Web Designer and Developer — talk about multi-talented!
When she finds spare time (which isn’t often!), she prioritizes self-care in ways that feel joyful and restorative: playing video games with her loving partner, making her planner cute, and watching documentaries. And one more fun fact? She proudly embraces being a lefty in a right-handed world!
When Did You First Get Into Planning?
Planning has always been part of her life. Growing up with a mom who was an office manager meant she was never without an agenda or notepad. But everything changed in 2013 when her best friend gifted her an Erin Condren vertical planner. From that moment on — she was hooked!
What Planners Are You Currently Using?
Her lineup is both functional and fabulous:
Erin Condren Hourly – Her “main squeeze” for weekly time management and catch-all planning
Erin Condren Notebook – Her pre-planning hero for task management and brain dumps
Erin Condren Meal Planner – Grocery lists, household tracking, and meal planning
Erin Condren Daily Duo – The “work Bae” for meetings and daily tasks
Plum Paper Budget Planner – Budget tracking (for now!)
Each planner has a purpose, and together they create a system that supports her full life.

How Did You Discover PlannerKate?
She discovered PlannerKate through fellow planner creators on YouTube and Instagram — especially Kristan and Jen. Watching their content introduced her to the brand, and the rest is history!
What Do You Love Most About PlannerKate Stickers?
Trust.
She loves that she can trust PlannerKate stickers to:
Coordinate beautifully with anything in her stash
Be removable (flexibility is everything!)
Be perfectly cut every single time
That reliability allows her schedule to shift as needed without sacrificing style.
Favorite PK Kits or Colorways?
Anything PK Rainbow is her absolute go-to. She also adores kits featuring coffee, polka dots, and stripes — and says she can’t imagine a planner without using one of those kits at least once!
Go-To Planning Layout or Strategy?
Her signature vibe? Hourly-turned-lined-vertical planning.
She realized she needs to see her tasks move through time with her. Instead of using the sidebar for to-dos, she leans on her notebook for task management. Each week, she recreates a “sidebar” to-do section over the weekend — when she doesn’t need strict time blocking and prefers flexibility.
How She Uses PK Stickers
PK stickers are everywhere in her system:
Washi and dots in her notebook to outline weekly tasks
Hourly stickers to highlight working hours, tasks, and cleaning schedules
Functional stickers in her meal planner to categorize grocery lists
(And honestly… she could probably go on!)

Top 3 Must-Have PK Sheets
Narrowing it down wasn’t easy, but her essentials are:
Functional staples that work across multiple planners? Yes, please.

Fun Planning Rituals?
Her favorite ritual is bold and refreshing: she doesn’t plan on Monday.
Instead of stressing on Sunday, she lets Monday unfold naturally, tackling random tasks from her list. Monday night, she evaluates how the day went and plans from there. It removes pressure and proves that nothing falls apart just because Monday isn’t pre-planned.
We love that energy.
Sharing as a PlannerKate Affiliate
She shares weekly reels on Instagram and Pinterest featuring sticker hauls, plan-with-me moments, and flip-throughs. On YouTube, she dives deeper into goal setting, monthly planning, and the strategy behind her planning system.
What She Loves About the PlannerKate Affiliate Team
She calls it the best affiliate team ever — and we’re blushing!
She loves that affiliates are encouraged to contribute ideas, feedback, and creativity across the community, Facebook group, and blog. She also appreciates how Kate truly listens to customer requests. Representing products she genuinely loves makes it all the more meaningful.
