I am a sucker for collecting flashy, fun and fascinating gadgets. Like I have an endless collection of fidget spinners in different colours, shapes,sizes and materials. I also have a crazy collection of phone casings, sunglasses, bracelets, earphones and earbuds. I recently started collecting powerbanks as well and since then I have come across some very interesting and unique types of powerbanks. I have a number of standard wired powerbanks, wireless/magsafe powerbanks, solar powerbanks, laptop high output powerbanks, built-in cable powerbanks but none of these are transparent. In my collecting adventures, I stumbled upon a TikTok post showcasing a transparent powerbank by Alibaba and I was absolutely drawn to it. I know I want to get it for sure but I am worried about how efficiently it works. Don't get me wrong, I love collecting, however, I also ensure all my gadgets are fully functional. Has anyone tried using these transparent powerbanks? I'd love to hear your experience on their efficiency and probably how long you've had it.

I've been very excited about finally having time to plan for this trip. I am taking a long overdue sabbatical after an exhausting five years of sitting in the office with the same annoying colleagues, drinking the same blunt office coffee and staring at my computer day in day out working on worksheet after worksheet. I'm now thinking of heading to Kua Bay, somewhere I've always wanted to visit but never had the time. My best friend who once took a solo trip to Kua Bay told me to just order a portable shower off Alibaba for the trip and thank her later! However, I don't even know if those things work, not to mention how they even work. Like, do they actually give you a decent sprinkle with good water pressure or is it just a sad little trickle? I've never used one before and I'm not much of an outdoor person. The last thing I want is to carry with me a bulky gadget all the way to Hawaii only to find it's useless out there. But then again, I want to enjoy convenience during my trip so I am probably going to take the risk. Has anyone actually tried these things on a real beach trip and how did that work for you?

My friend and I decided to start our fitness journey together a month ago and so far we are crushing it. We have been walking together to work every morning, monitoring our heartbeat rate and blood pressure using Fitbits, and now we are seriously monitoring our diet too. 

Most days we get to prepare our smoothies at home and package them in bottles then carry them to work for later use. However, we have realised that due to the long walks the smoothies end up spilling, messing our bags, and sometimes they even spoil before we can drink them. Therefore, sometimes we have nothing to take on our breaks which alters our dietary patterns.  

Luckily as I was scrolling down through TikTok I came across a series of videos where a fitness group was using a very classy and unique portable blender from Alibaba and it drew me in as that would be very convenient for us. Instead of blending at home then carrying the smoothies, we can get the portable blender and carry it along with our fruits, then use it at a convenient time as needed. This would really beat the hustle of spilling and spoiling. However, I have no idea what kind of portable blender actually survives being thrown in a bag and used in an office kitchen.
