In this Plan With Me, I’m setting up my June 2025 monthly spread with full-on opera energy—specifically Georges Bizet’s Les pêcheurs de perles (The Pearl Fishers). Since it’s men’s mental health awareness month, I wanted to sit with a story that genuinely tugs at me: two best friends, jealousy, and the way toxic masculinity can spiral into choices that almost destroy everything. So while I’m placing dates, building my layout, and making it actually usable for my real-life routines, I’m also chatting through why this opera hits so hard. Aesthetically, I’m leaning into dreamy, watery fantasy vibes—think koi fish, music notes, and that vintage-Victorian-meets-fairycore mood I always chase. I use functional stickers for the bones of the spread (because pretty is great, but I need it to work), then layer in washi and decorative elements to give it that theatrical, romantic finish. By the end, you’ve got a monthly setup that’s both practical and story-driven, plus a few links if you want to read the synopsis or watch key scenes like “Au fond du temple saint.”
