MaH Shoulder/Messenger Bag

  

Yesterday, I bought a new bag, and this time, I chose a MaH messenger bag!

MaH was founded in 2010 by three college guys who initially did everything themselves, from designing and packing the bags to answering customer messages. Their goal was to create bags that are stylish, spacious, comfortable, durable, and, most importantly, affordable.

I decided to buy another bag because the leather-like bag I purchased a few months ago turned out to be disappointing. Its zipper broke, and I also found it a bit heavy to carry and not roomy enough for my needs.

Then I discovered MaH bags. Since I have been commuting more often lately, I wanted something lightweight, practical, and comfortable to carry. My husband rarely drives our car these days because gas prices are soaring, and he is often too tired to drive. Our car is also currently at the mechanic's shop for repairs.

I prefer this MaH messenger bag because it is very lightweight and spacious enough to accommodate all my essentials. Weighing only 400 grams, it has a 7-liter capacity, making it roomy without being bulky. Its dimensions are 33 × 24 × 9 cm, or approximately 13 × 9.4 × 3.5 inches.

The bag is made of polyester, which makes it water-resistant and resistant to everyday wear and tear. Of course, water-resistant doesn't mean completely waterproof, so I would still avoid exposing it to heavy rain for extended periods.

I also appreciate its practical features, including:

• Roomy compartments to keep my everyday essentials organized.
• Adjustable shoulder strap for a more comfortable fit.
• Front sleeve with a magnetic button for convenient access to frequently used items.
• Back zipper pocket for keeping smaller belongings secure.
• Lightweight construction that makes it comfortable to carry during my daily commute.

Another thing I like is its simple, clean, and professional design. It looks appropriate for the office while still being practical for everyday use. For an office worker and commuter like me, this is exactly the kind of bag I need!

In terms of maintenance, the bag is not machine-washable. It can be spot-cleaned or gently hand-washed in warm, soapy water. After cleaning, wipe away excess moisture and let it air-dry, leaving the pockets and flaps open.

The online price is $29.99, which I find reasonable for a bag that combines style, functionality, and convenience. I was able to buy this bag for $14. 46 (Php 927). 

Overall, I am very happy with my purchase! The MaH messenger bag is lightweight, roomy, practical, and stylish, and the price was just right. I'm glad I found a bag that suits my needs without breaking the bank. I look forward to using it on my daily commute!

Jamay F17 Portable Cooling Fan

 I recently bought a new portable fan, the Jamay F17, to add to my collection. I have been using a Jisulife fan for almost a year, but I decided to get another one because this model comes with a cooling feature.

What I like most about the Jamay F17 is that the air it emits feels cooler, especially when used outdoors, where the heat can be unbearable. Usually, when you're outside, the air produced by a regular portable fan can also feel warm. It is often only when you're in an air-conditioned room that the breeze feels truly cool. That's why I was excited to try this cooling fan!

The fan arrived in a nice box with minimalist packaging. Inside, you'll find a lanyard necklace, a USB cable, a cleaning brush, another lanyard (which I discarded), and some cute stickers.

Operating the fan is easy. Simply press the power button once to turn it on. To activate the cooling feature, press and hold the power button for three seconds until the temperature in Celsius appears on the display. Another thing I appreciate is that the Jamay F17 is quieter than my other portable fan.

Here are some of its features:

• High-speed brushless motor: Reaches speeds of 10,500 to 20,000 RPM.
• Maximum air velocity: Up to 18 ft/s.
• Dual air ducts with a turbo design: Designed to maximize airflow.
• Three operating levels:
  • Level 1 – Gentle Wind: Up to 14–15 hours
  • Level 2 – Strong Wind: Up to 8 hours
  • Level 3 – Cool Breeze: Up to 4 hours
• Versatile design: It can be worn around the neck or crossbody, hung around the waist, or adjusted 360° to function as a tabletop desk fan.

Overall, I find the Jamay F17 much better than my previous portable fan, especially because of its cooling feature and quieter operation. It's also available in different colors, and I chose sky blue, which I find really cute!

If you're looking for a portable fan that offers more than just the usual airflow, the Jamay F17 is worth considering. I'm happy with my purchase so far!
