Finding the time


Finding the time – something that seems to be evading me and I’m sure most of you as we get older. They say we have as many hours in the day as Beyonce, but as much as I’d like to believe that she gets it all done, we don’t all have the luxury of having a personal chef, assistant, trainer, someone to run to the grocery store and Target for us…although do we really want someone to take Target away from us?! 

Send Handwritten Notes with Bond


I find myself forgetting to send notes just because like I did before life got a little too busy – but my excuse of not sending snail mail is gone! Meet my new best friend in the form of an app – Bond!

Send Handwritten Notes with Bond






With the app, the personalized touch, right down to the handwriting, is at the tip of your fingertips! So finding the time is no longer a valid excuse – I basically sent my bestie Rachel a little note saying “Hi” during my commute to work! 

Hand Written notes with Bond App




When you’re ready to select the address, the app integrates with your phone and you don’t have to worry about fumbling through your contacts or toggling between apps. I could have added a fun stationary element, like “wish you were here” or “happy birthday”, but I opted to create my own stationary with my name at the top, you can also do the same for the footer.


I whited out the addresses and what the actual note I sent her said 🙂 







So remember when I said it’s about finding the time – the Bond app gives you some of those moments back. I love that it’s handwritten, saves me the time of going to the post office, getting a stamp because let’s be real I never have one on me & remembering to actually send the note out when I want to! There is a character limit of 400 – so think of it like 3 quick tweets!

Another awesome feature of the app is that you can create your note and schedule it to be delivered at a later date, talk about behind ahead of the game! 

Bond App hand written notes




While we might not have the personal chef or trainer – I think we can all agree that thanks to Uber we now sort of have an on-demand car and with Bond.co we have a personal assistant to ensure we’ll never forget a special occasion again! Both a time AND life saver! 




How do you find the time to fit it all in? Do you use app’s to help with your daily routine?







Thank you to Bond.co for kindly sponsoring this post. All opinions are 100% honest & completely my own.

    This is such a cool app! I love writing handwritten notes, I feel like technology has take the art of writing away. But finding the time is always difficult so this is a great concept! And so awesome that you don't have to go to the post office to mail it. The post office by my office closed (how does that even happen??) and now it's a serious inconvenience trying to find one! Thanks for sharing, Biana!

    How cute is this?! I've never heard of this app, perfect as we go into the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. And agreed that even if I had a hired staff like Beyonce, no one would be taking my place on weekly (who am I kidding – more than weekly) Target runs! <3

    This sounds like such a great app, I'll have to check it out! There are definitely times when I intend on checking in on a friend or family, but end up getting caught up with other things throughout the day that I forget. Thanks so much for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you're having a great weeks so far!

    I have never heard of this app but I love the idea of handwritten notes and you can schedule when they go! And yes, we have the same hours as Beyonce but I am the one cleaning my house, walking my dog, doing my laundry, cooking my own meals etc. So that makes us more badass than her, right?!

    Cute idea for an app! Sometimes a personalized note means that much more even if it's facilitated by a little bit of technology to speed up the process.

    I actually kind of hate that Beyonce quote for just that reason, haha. I love stuff like this– so this is such a cool idea, as much as I love traditional snail mail, sometimes it just doesn't happen, so this is perfect!
