Working-Mom-bag Review: The Ameli Viadukt Work Bag

Posted on by
Reply

It has been 3 months since I bought my Ameli Viadukt Work Bag and am I still loving it? Read more to know in more details my bag review on the said bag. Let me divide this review into 3 parts. First, the basics of the bag like weight, dimensions, etc. The second part would be about its wearability and my experience so far. And lastly, my overall verdict on the bag. Let’s get started.

THE VIADUKT WORK BASICS. This bag is very elegant looking, in my opinion, with it is black coloured leather and gold hardware. Moreover, the small gold print of Ameli Zurich towards the bottom of the bag is cute, subtle and does not scream LUXURY in your face. It is indeed a classic, elegant and versatile bag than can be worn in my many ways. With this work bag, who says you cannot go to work in style. The following are the details of the Viadukt Work Bag as mentioned in the Ameli Website.

Dimensions

  • 40.0 x 26 x 13.0 cm (length x height x width). Suitable for most airlines’ personal item size requirements 
  • Weight 1.3 kg 
  • Maximum load capacity: 7kg
  • Notebook compartment: Max. 35 x 26 x 2 cm
  • The included strap is 2 cm wide, can be adjusted in three lengths (137 cm, 140 cm and 145 cm) or be used as backpack

Features

  • The bag comes with long straps, a dust bag and metal pieces.
  • Bag can be carried as backpack, cross-body bag, over the shoulder or using the strap as luggage pass-through on your suitcase
  • Removable shoulder strap with locking loops to fix the bag on a suitcase
  • One big compartment with an additional padded 15″ laptop compartment 
  • Four, different-sized flat pockets for mobile phone or daily essentials
  • Backpocket with zipper to quickly access your phone or mask 

THE AMELI VIADUKT WORK EXPERIENCE. I am happy to say that I have been to many places with this wonder bag – first I was on vacation in Austria, then around Munich, Germany serving as my mama-bag, and in New York and New Jersey USA while on a business trip. This bag’s aesthetics is on top. It hits quiet luxury points.

Significantly, its wearability equates versatility. This beauty can be worn as a handbag with its top handle. The long strap allows you to wear it as shoulder bag and a cross body bag. A big plus and a good news for those working ladies out there, especially, the commuting ones or the frequent traveller ones because it can be worn as backpack. I do not know about you but I somehow refuse nowadays to wear those ugly backpacks to work and the Ameli Viadukt Work bag really helped me achieve this.

My favorite way to wear this bag is as a backpack. Most especially that I travel mostly for work. When I do not have much on the bag, in other words, when it is not too heavy, I’d like wearing it as a handbag. When my toddler is with me, I love that I can be handsfree with its shoulder and crossbody bag options.

THE VERDICT ON THE AMELI VIADUKT WORK BAG. If you are to ask me if based on what I know now, would I buy this bag again? I would say yes. It is elegant and classic and it projects quiet luxury but does not break the bank compared to top known luxury brands. Fashion influencers would consider this brand up and coming. Second, I love that the bag is not heavy in itself. Third, I love that it can be worn in different ways.

I am all praises for this bag. But then again, it still depends on each person what they need and what they particularly want in a bag. I would say, when the bag is full and heavy, there are times that I experience the magnetic closure not fully closing well or not right away while I was carrying it cross body or as shoulder bag, especially when it is full & heavy. Second, I wish the handle can be a bit longer when I wear it as a backpack. But then again, it could just be me because I am not petit.

But overall, I would say YES to the bag again.

A mother’s ME time is more expensive than your Chanel, Hermes, & LV Bags altogether

A mother’s ME time is more expensive than your Chanel, Hermes, & LV Bags altogether. But I would love to have them too because why not! However, if I were to choose between them and my precious ME time, I would choose the latter.

Ever since I became a mom and a wife and a full-time worker – these 3 combination to be exact, I started having anxiety and burn-out moments. Probably it is the carefree soul in me that feels imprisoned and overwhelmed. But unlike my first episode that I mentioned in my previous blog, I am now more aware of it.

Due to this insight/skill unlocked, I know that when the house is too messy and my brain is only telling me either to just be angry, shout or escape, I know already that I need to call it a day, and follow the Italian saying “dolce far niente” (the joy of doing nothing or being idle). We call this in my Visayan dialect “palanay mode”. It translates to melting because you are literally just lying in bed doing nothing, as if your body is melting, sticking to the surface it rests on.

You know where my wishful thinking brings me nowadays, amidst my busy work from home + child-at-home parenting + house manager life? One of my wish is that if I can just go out on my own, anytime whenever I want to the city centre, for example, walking around aimlessly, browsing through shops and resting from time to time in a nice, charming cafe sipping my favourite iced coffee or warm tasty Schokolade, depending on the season, watching people and/or reading an entertaining book or magazine.

I do not have regrets. I love being a mom. I love having a partner who I can share life in all aspects. And for sure, everything is manageable, especially now that a lot is on my plate with these many roles I am performing. I am not sure if it is just me, but do you have this feeling that you wanted to refuse to fully embrace all these roles that at times, you just don’t want to. But I guess that is life. That is just how life operates – like there is no other option but to be tough and be pushy on any of its hurdles.

So this is why reflections are very important, to process the day, to process one’s feelings no matter what they are. Because only then will you be able to see insight amidst the chaos. I am thankful that I can have this exercise. And to you who will be reading this, I wish that you will also take time to take a pause and reflect about whatever you are struggling with nowadays and that such contemplation will also bring you peace.

Until then, adios meine liebe!

Mama Confessions Entry#2: Mom Struggles after 2 years of giving birth

Posted on by
Reply

Note: Back to the past – sometime in 2022, I wrote this entry below. Since it was saved as a draft for awhile and also after being in hiatus for some time, I decided to finally publish this now. Let me know after reading if you can relate or have a similar experience and also how you cope with this kind of struggles.

I remember almost a year after giving birth, also almost a year of my parental leave, I was so excited to go back to work. I told myself that I am not gonna just be a mom, I want to be a working mom, a full-time working mom to be exact. I also told people always, especially during job interviews, that I am not only a mom, I am also a career woman, I am a wife, I am an artist, I am many things because I believe I can. I was so excited that I even search a lot of videos in You Tube on home organization, meal preparation, etc.

Almost a year later, fast forward, the inspired, excited mom is overwhelmed. It felt like I am working 3 shifts in a day. At times, I would wake up at 5am to work, then tend to my kid at 7am, fed her breakfast and make her ready to go to daycare. Me and my husband would alternately schedule bringing her to the the daycare around 8am.

In other words, your mama is not only overwhelmed, but also burned out. My biggest trigger was the announcement at work that there was a restructure and that our team is closing. I was managing my depression brought about by the above-mentioned situation. And it has been a vicious cycle of I am ok, I can still manage, to not and to ok again, repeat.

A lot has changed to date, fast forward 2023. I finally landed a new job in a new company. I am still in the same field but completely doing something different. I felt that career wise, I was able to find my niche. This also makes me happier. I feel there is a good future to look forward to, if only I put an effort and show my best. Plus I get to travel from time to time for work. The wanderlust in me is ecstatic.

I still get overwhelmed nowadays – as full time working mom, wife and as a creative. We also do not have a childcare yet since we move in to our new apartment 5-7km away from my daughter’s old nursery. The situation actually, I would say, is more tiring now because we are not only working full-time, but we are all having a home office plus a kindergarten. Not to mentioned, the housework. But I am more aware now. I am more conscious now.

Thanks to my depression – burned out situation in the past, I get to developed a sense of early warning inner device for myself. I know now consciously that if I go more towards a certain direction in my daily activities, it can reach to dangerous levels of exhaustion, anxiety, etc. That is why, if there are certain things not anymore doable because I am not full in all aspect of my being, I will leave it as, or I will park it for now. Like how I park for now my book project, and also how I was not active for awhile for this blog, etc. And it is ok! I prioritize first myself. The more I am enriched myself, the more I can give. I call this my inwards-outwards personal philosophy.

Everything is still a conscious process, of looking inward – to your most inner core, listening to that voice, taking the time to be in silence and be one with the self. Because only then can you be ready to face the outside world.

That is all for now, hope I am able to inspire you in my own little ways. Take care.

Some colours and a lot of silver linings…

Posted on by

Life is colorful. It can be dark and gloomy. It can also be a fiesta of bright colours. Whatever it is, a mix of all or not, there is a lot silver linings for sure. One just need to seek to find it.

I am happy that creativity tickled my frozen psyche right at this moment. It means that I am slowly breaking into my inner self and process what I am experiencing these days.

It has been weeks since I am trying to get hold of motivation – the one that I used to know, that kind where I feel I can do anything in all aspects of my life. For quiet some time, all I feel is exhaustion – from motherhood, from full-time work (whose future perspective is for quiet awhile absent), from home management, from all other obligations in my life. I have just been pushing and pushing – to accomplish things I need to do. I literally feel doing 3 shifts in a day – from being a mother to full time worker to mother to home manager.

Don’t get me wrong. I want it like that. I want to work full time and be a mom, a wife and at the same time pursue some of my creative passions like writing & photography. I know there are things I cannot do as a result – like having to be able to cook warm meals all the time or have a super orderly home. It is hard, this I know for sure. But when you are inspired, the hardship is bearable, knowing that is gives meaning and fulfilment at the end of each freakin hard & long day.

I have to admit that my struggles at the moment sprung from the fact that work is unstable. There is a restructure and my team is affected. Since that announcement almost a year ago, I have been just managing my emotions. I get depressed from time to time and add to that the hardships and the pressure of the other aspects of my life.

Maybe I have been pushing so hard, to just go on, managing one moment at a time the different pressures and obligations I have, to the point of unconsciously burying issues in my subconscious. I am actually pretty good with self processing and pretty self-aware but this one somehow escaped me until it “surfaced to earth” again, so to say.

But like any other overwhelming situation, I know that I have to break them down into chewable pieces and take things one day at a time. For now, I am happy that I painted which I have not done for a long time. I am happy that I was able to express myself through that. And that’s it for now.

Local Vistas – are your hidden gems next door: my entry to LAPC#203

Posted on by
5

What I like about joining photo challenges based on a theme is that it always gets me to reflect beyond its literal meaning. For this weeks LAPC#203 posted by Anne, it is about Local Vistas. As Amy puts it nicely on what this week’s challenge want us to explore:

“What are your local vistas? Where do you photograph when you don’t have a lot of time or are not on vacation? What about your hometown excites you?…”

https://wordpress.com/read/feeds/552947/posts/4070253334

If there is anything the pandemic taught us is to look within and enjoy the local vicinity. I for one, coming from the Philippines, enjoy being in Europe much because the quality of life is already good – that a simple stroll along forest parks scattered around the city like Munich, or along a clean river like Isar or a simple breakfast outside in your garden, or in the balcony, etc.etc. – can easily be enjoyed.

Please do not get me wrong. My beloved Philippines is a beautiful country with nice white beaches, rich with natural resources, and the Filipinos are the most warmed people I know, who sings a lot even or smiles a lot even when they have tons of problems. My gift of being able to enjoy the simple pleasures of life is rooted to my being a Filipino. However, we are also poverty stricken and are nagged with environmental challenges like pollution especially in the cities. But this is not what this blog is about. This is about how I experience simple but good life in Munich – those that can be considered as life’s simple/little pleasures that do not cost a penny.

Kids and kids-at-heart can always enjoy being refreshed by this fountain in Karlsplatz Stachus during the summer period. This is one area in the City Center of Munich.
The same spot from the photo above but from a different view. It is simply lovely.
One local secret to enjoying Munich during the summer: target activity, sit with friends at the banks of Isar,
(1) first you guys need to buy a drink (beer or soft drinks, but this is Germany, so maybe beer is the more the appropriate choice – as long as you are of legal age to drink alcohol), (2) bring breze and obazda – buy all these at a local grocery so it is cheaper. (3) Don’t forget to bring your own picnic mat. (4) And lastly, enjoy! P.S. (5) if the water is already warm enough, don’t forget to bring your swimsuit and have a dip. Dipping your feet is also possible. Either way, there are many ways to enjoy.
Enjoy the local beer garden! Beer gardens can be found all over the city or in any part of Germany. They are opening toward summer, late spring.
The best spot to see Marienplatz from a higher angle, away from the crowd is to sit in the sofas provided in Hugendubel Bookstore. Get a book (without buying it yet) and find a nice spot to sit. If you are just there for the view, pretend you are reading a book (giggles) or if you are there for both, read and enjoy the view at the same time.

You see, local vistas (for me) is also about enjoying what you already have. It is about exploring the things you may have disregarded because of close proximity – the so called “right under your nose” (in a positive context). It is also about discovering the hidden gems in a pretty mundane or ordinary scene. It is about seeing beauty beyond the ordinary and unlocking the content heart of a child – within us – that enjoying life does not mean only expensive or grandeous things but also in the simplest and purest form of things.

So that’s it for this entry. If you want to know more about LAPC, check this out https://photobyjohnbo.wordpress.com/about-lens-artists/. And if you like my content, do not forget to consider liking and subscribing my blog. You may also find me in IG and YT. And hope to see you or hear from you here or in my next entry. Have a great day/evening wherever your in the world. Auf wiedersehen!

Creative Fridays Entry#4: A glimpse of Wasserburg am Inn (late post)

Posted on by

A first glimpse of the town impresses immediately. Almost an island, practically surrounded by the river Inn with its steep cliffs, Wasserburg appears quite extraordinary. On entering the town, the visitor has the feeling of entering a fairy tale world. A town with pastel coloured walls, archways and battlements, a gateway and mighty fortress – who hasn´t  imagined and painted a town like this as a child?

https://www.wasserburg.de/en/sightseeing/impressions

I have always been fascinated with medieval cities. One of my favorite is Burghausen. This one adds to the list. Hence, I was happy that my family spent a weekend in this Town, for one to visit friends and enjoy the local spring festival and 2nd, to check the Town Center.

Without further a do, here are the photos I took during that one weekend in Wasserburg am Inn.

If you want to know more about this interesting and charming town, approximately 56km outside of Munich, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasserburg_am_Inn for more or go directly to the Town’s website https://www.wasserburg.de/en/sightseeing/impressions.

Creative Fridays Entry#3: a photowalk down memory lane – from Munich’s Glockenback to Vitualienmarkt

Posted on by
Reply

In our pre-baby years, we used to live in the Glockenbachviertel (root word translation – “Glock” – bell, “Bach” – creek, “viertel” – quarter – so bell-creek quarter). It is located very close to the city center of Munich – where Marienplatz is only a walking distance. It is an area where the yuppies, hippies and LGBT community hangs out. It is known for its bars and restaurants closely situated next to each other. I usually describes it to friends visiting or new in the city as the Berlin of Munich but cleaner (not mean to offend Berlin – as it has also it’s own charm).

By chance, I was in the area because a friend celebrated her birthday wherein the bday-dinner became a spontaneous bar-hopping adventure. In short, I took the chance to make the bar-hopping also a photo-walk exercise and here are the shots I took.

“Hats off, hats on” – I have always been amazed about this very specialized store on hats. I guess it has found its niche market and is still thriving.
“Kat & Mae” – my friends posing while waiting for their cocktail orders at Fraubartels Bar (https://www.instagram.com/fraubartelsbar/). Although it is my first time to visit this place, I know this was already in the area 3-4 years ago (or more). What I specially like about this place is that the decos are very artsy and the bar looks really nice.
Still at Fraubartels Bar in Klenzestrasse – https://www.instagram.com/fraubartelsbar/. I played with the photo editing and applied an abstract kind of feel into it.
Cafe Pini!!!! I love this cozy cafe in Klenzestrasse. I specially like their spaghetti bolognese and sandwiches. It is a good place to either meet and catch up with friends or just enjoy the solitude & peace of your ME time. https://www.cafepini.de.
https://www.instagram.com/cafe_pini/
Klenze 42-A – this is our old address. It brings back a lot of good memories.
“Holy Home” – this is indeed the name of this cozy bar. It is situated right beside the Gaertnerplatztheater at the Reichenbachstrasse part. Aside from the drinks, this bar offers a lot of unique deco items which are definitely a delight to the artsy eyes. See more below…
still at Holy Home: once you go further inside, there are still some hidden sections you can squeeze yourself into – making it ideal for a more intimate conversations among friends and lovers.
still at Holy Home: who says an old phone cannot be used as a deco. This is definitely an art-candy.
still at Holy Home
last photo at Holy Home…

The last top of our spontaneous bar-hopping/photo-walk is the Robinsons Kuhlmann Bar at Corneliusstrasse 14. https://robinsonkuhlmann.com

Entrance facade in Robinsons K. Bar
“shots! shots! shots! – everybody…” I was playing around with the photo using Snapseed to inject an abstract painting effect into it. I think I missed painting abstract. So this is just it for now.
On our way to Isartor, we passed by Paradiso Tanzbar (Dance Bar). Did you know that Freddy Mercury used to hangout in this bar when he was living in Munich. I can understand the people lining up outside in order to get in. As to this photo, I was also playing around with it in order to get that abstract painting feel.
https://www.paradiso-tanzbar.de/

So we had a walk from corner Ickstatstrasse – Klenzestrasse to Isartor and we passed through the infamous Vitualienmarkt (another favourite part of mine in Munich). It is a food market mostly from the local farmers. Products sold ranges from vegetables and fruits to gourmet delights like cheese, wine, salami & other cold cuts among many many others. It is right next to Marienplatz and has also restaurants and a beer garden to enjoy. It is said to have started since since 1807, except on Sundays and public holidays. Below is a gallery of photos taken during that.

Before this post gets really long, I hope I was able to bring you with me as I had this delightful tour around the City Center area of Munich, specifically from Glockenbach to Vitualienmarkt. And who knows, you might one day visit Munich and this is definitely the areas not to missed. And for those who share the same love with me for Munich, let me know which parts are your favourites and why?

So bye for now and see you or read you in my next creative adventure. Aufwiedersehen!

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #200: Every Little Thing

Posted on by

Every week I get a notification for the LAPC about the weekly challenge. I have not participated for awhile because of motherhood and work but it has been a month now that I am getting into my creative side again. So for this week’s LAPC hosted by Amy, the theme is “every little thing” that makes you smile.

As I went through my photos and I also had recently a self-imposed photo walk, I discovered that I love this theme. It has always been part of me. I realized that seeing the beauty of every little thing, and being sparked with joy with those little things and the ability to be in that moment is indeed a gift. That kind of gift that is needed in life in order to persevere and triumph against its daily struggles.

So without further a do, here are my entries:

Taken during my self-imposed photo walk (see posts about it in my blog). Sometimes, one has to bend, and look up in order to see beauty beyond the ordinary. There is beauty in perspectives – as you go closer and explore a different angle.
This plant is just one of those growing along the road side. I would not think that is planted deliberately. But whether or not it is a grass, weed, or something growing wild, it is still simply beautiful.
These antique egg holders are charming. This is taken during a flea market in our neighbourhood. I love flea markets (Floh Markt – in German) because there are a lot of beautiful gems you can find.
“Simply Captivating” – this was taken inside Moulin Rouge in Paris. This was the trip that my husband and I got engaged. A lot of lovely memories seeing this photo again.
And lastly, my most favourite subject these days. My daughter, she was just born here, maybe only a day old.

Thanks again Amy for sharing this week’s LAPC challenge. I am happy I am doing this entry now. I am happy that I am able to squeeze one creative effort (between 5am and 6am) before going to Mom-hood and getting ready for work. I am happy I did this – it is indeed a good fuel to start my day. Let me end by wishing everyone a good start of the day!

Creative Fridays – entry #2: Low light Photo & an entry to my YT Channel on organizing

Posted on by
1

Last Friday, I posted about a photo-walk challenge that can happen every Friday. I have decided to just make this a personal challenge called “Creative Fridays”. If this kind of exercise tickles your creative bone, please feel free to participate and tag me in your post.

So going straight to this Friday’s creative entry: I was not able do today a photo-walk because it is my turn to stay at home while the husband go out for some “me-time”, so instead, inside our flat, overlooking the street, I managed to take this photo below.

It took a lot of tries to get this. Thanks to my tripod, that this made it possible to take – otherwise, everything is just blurred. This is taken using Canon EOS M100 mirrorless camera.

My next creative entry today is a video on how I set-up my A5 Saffiano Rose Gold Filofax Organizer. I totally forgot that in my college days, I like this kind of planning – old school, writing on paper-ring-binder-organizer, which is totally customizable and can be personalized based on your taste, preferences, and needs.

I really like the exercise of setting-up this organizer. The process gives me a sense of ownership and accomplishment and I love that I can personlize it. I also like that I can tailor fit the set-up according to my needs as a mom, wife, full-time worker, creative and spiritual person. And the fact that I can have it in one organizer – compared to having different notebooks for different purposes – is really a big WIN.

Plus the creative process in coming with contents is exciting for me. It feels like I am a journalist – which is what I studied in college but I never get to practice it for work. So I think if opportunities are not there for you, you make the opportunity for yourself. And I believe that the whole process of putting yourself into the open is a kind of bravery, making yourself vulnerable and open and the at the same time enriching. One just need to remember to post or create contents for yourself. If someone gives attention to it, then it is a bonus.

So these are my 2 creative entries and reflection for this Friday. I am doing this as a challenge to myself – to stick to my passion, no matter how life becomes hectic and challenging. Because for me, this is how I refuel my self to become the best mom, wife, worker, creative, spiritual being that I can be.

As Oprah puts it nicely “Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.”

So let me end this post with that and goodbye for now! Wish you a great weekend and hope to hear or read from you soon. Take care!

OF WATER DROPLETS AND REFLECTIONS: my first entry to my-own-but-open-to-public-photo-challenge – the “Photo-walk Fridays” – because why not?!

Posted on by

One Friday afternoon, I am inspired to take an early off from work, took my camera and went on a photo-walk around my neighbourhood. It has been awhile since I created an entry in my blog. Motherhood and a full-time job has kept me from being creative. For awhile, I have been just feeling exhausted and the greatest challenge is really on how to stay energised and motivated because when I am, I can do so much.

So like what I said in the title of this post above, this is my first entry to my-own-but-open-to-public-photo-challenge – the “Photo-walk Fridays“. Because, yes, why not!?! One can be bold and audacious and brave in life – because as what they say – we only live once and that we gotta do whatever makes up happy and this is my way of doing that.

So how does it work:

  1. On a Friday, go on a walk where ever your are and take a shot on anything that captures your eyes. You are free to use any camera you have – a camera phone or a professional one.
  2. You may or may not edit your photos.
  3. Write a blog post about this challenge and tag me and put a link of this post on your post. You can showcase as many photos as you like.
  4. You are free to nominate someone to participate this challenge if you like.
  5. Have fun and enjoy the journey!

With that, I hope to see you join me in this challenge. Let us keep on tapping on our creativity. Cheers and have a nice weekend!

And as to my entry finally, here they are……

“Concrete jungle reflection” The rain helped me on this photo-walk session. There were water all over that allowed me to took photos like above.
“The truth can be in the water – you just have to look deep into it.” – another reflection brought about by the rainwater remnants.
“Water delight” – my daughter would definitely love playing and jumping around in the water if she was around. “Mamas get your toddler’s “matschhose” (mad pants in German) ready!”
“Mensch (Men), ride all you want but safety first” – Rentable electronic e-scooters are scattered around the City and this is just one of them.
“Udlot” – this means leaflet in my dialect Bisaya (Philippines). I love taking subjects like this. There is just something about it that evokes freshness, newness, and hope. What do you think?
“There is beauty amidst the ugly and uneeded” – I do not know the name of this plant but shooting flowers will never fail you. I am not sure if this is one of those wild plants aka weeds that grew along the roadside. But it does not matter because she is pretty.

“The view from down below” – It took a different perspective to get this shot. I did enjoy taking this photo. Photo-walk sessions allows you really to do “trial and error” from various angles. It also a good practice for one to be patient and to think outside the box – to look and explore from beyond the normal point.

I think these are all my entries for now. Hope you guys enjoy it. And wish to see you join me on this creative journey through this challenge.

Lastly, I did explore the topic “photo Friday challenge” in the great-open-wide-space called “the internet” and below are my wonder-finds. Do check them out:

In the spirit of trying something new and also to keep on tapping on my creative self – as a way to constantly energized and inspire myself – so I can be the best mom-woman-wife-daughter-friend-etc. I can be –> I finally gave in to vlogging. Yes! that kind of blogging but on video.

As part of my creative outlet, my Youtube Channel caters more to my motherhood aspect. At the same time, I want it to be an avenue where I can improve my public speaking skills (of some sort) and also to improve more on my story-telling skill.

As part of my branding, I envisioned myself (or maybe more of ) I aim to create content in my YT Channel that are:

  1. anything about working moms – maybe some inspirational stories by other working moms
  2. anything about empowered women – and how we can learn and be inspired from their stories
  3. anything about my growing love for luxury bags
  4. maybe some of my interests in art and photography but I see this more in my instagram account and in here.
