Remember, it's about showing you understand and appreciate their unique personality.

What is a Fashion Backpack? A brief by Vismiintrend
What is a Fashion Backpack? A brief by Vismiintrend
A fashion backpack is a type of bag that's designed to look like a traditional backpack but with a different purpose. Instead of being used for school or work, these bags are often used for travel and other leisure activities.
There are many different types of fashion backpacks, but they all share some common traits: they're large enough to hold all your essentials but small enough that you don't feel weighed down by them; they have multiple compartments so you can organize your stuff easily; and they come in fun colors and designs (but not too crazy).
Tumblr media
Fashion Backpacks for Travel
Travel backpacks are a great choice for those who want to pack light and travel in style. They're designed to be lightweight and compact, making them ideal for long journeys that involve lots of walking or hiking. If you're looking for something durable, waterproof and easy-to-carry on your next trip, then the anti-theft backpack by Vismiintrend might be right up your alley!
Anti-theft Travel backpacks come in two main varieties: internal frame or external frame packs. Internal frame packs feature a rigid internal frame made of metal or plastic rods that help distribute weight evenly across the body so it doesn't feel like too much pressure on one part (like when carrying heavy textbooks). External frames attach directly onto your shoulders with straps instead of being molded into an inner compartment within your bag--this means they're more adjustable than internal models but can also make things feel less stable if not properly balanced when full loaded down with gear inside them
Stylish Backpacks for Women
There are many different types of stylish bags for women at the Vismiintrend online store. You can find a bag that suits your style and personality, whether it's a backpack or a purse. A trendy bag is great because it can complement any outfit, from casual to formal.
Here are some benefits to owning a stylish bag by Vismiintrend:
*   It makes you feel good about yourself.
*   It helps others see how much effort you put into your appearance.
Trendy Fashion Backpacks for Women
Trendy fashion backpacks for women are a great way to express your personal style. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors--and can be used for many different activities. Here are some of the most popular types of trendy fashion backpacks:
The crossbody bag is one of the most common types of trendy fashion backpacks. This type of bag has a strap that crosses over your chest or waist so that it rests against your body instead of hanging down by your side or over one shoulder like traditional handbags do (source).
Shoulder bags have long been popular among women because they're easy to carry around with you on busy days when space isn't as much an issue as comfortability is! These bags typically have straps that go across one shoulder while also having another strap connected directly under them which helps distribute weight evenly across both shoulders (source).
Sling Fashion Bags
Sling bags that are round in shape are one of the most popular types of fashion backpacks. They're lightweight, easy to carry and look great with everything from jeans to dresses. Sling bags come in all shapes and sizes, but generally fall into two categories: crossbody and shoulder bags.
The benefits of a sling bag include their versatility; they can be worn across the body or on one shoulder, depending on your preference. They also have multiple compartments that allow you to store items like keys or wallets without having them dig into your body while walking around town (or hiking through nature).
Shoulder Backpacks for Women
There are many types of shoulder backpacks for women. The most popular are:
Backpack purses, which look like traditional handbags but have straps that allow you to wear them on your back. They're perfect if you want something small and lightweight that can easily be carried around in a crowded area. These convertible backpacks can be carried with ease as a backpack or a tote bag.
Messenger bags, which have one strap across the chest or across both shoulders and another strap that goes over one shoulder (the messenger bag). There are also other types of shoulder bags available today such as cross body bags or sling bags which may not be as popular as these two styles but they still have their benefits depending on what type of activity/style you prefer using them during different times throughout each day! Check them out at the Vismiintrend online store.

Push
Yes, I got inspired by that damn gym video of that fine ass Aaron😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 CAN YOU REALLY BLAME A MF?!?!??! Y’all enjoy though…
Tumblr media
Terry
“Push harder. Harder! Yeaaaa, just like that, baby. More effort like that gets you the results you want. C’mon, Mama, I know you got it in you.” “Terry, stopppp.” Anaya whimpered sinking to the turf as I sighed at her exasperated expression. “Come on, Ny, you had a couple more left.” “No, I need a break.” As if on cue, Maya’s cries could be heard from the baby monitor in the corner. “Great. I’ll go get her.” “Nah, baby, just relax. I got it.” I persisted pecking her sweaty forehead before jogging into the house. Hearing her cries get more and more fussy, I quickly made it to her nursery to come to her rescue. “Heyyyyy hey hey! Who did it, fat?” I cooed walking in to see a couple drops of tears and a permanent frown as she reached up for me. “Come here, fat mama. Daddy’s here, I know. What’s wong, pwetty baby.” I simpered kissing her chubby cheeks as she wiped her tired eyes and messy hair. Inspecting her diaper and making sure she was ok, I fed and rocked her back to sleep before coming back to the gym in our garage. “Is she ok?” “Yea, she just got hungry and wanted to be held a little.” Nodding in understanding, she stared at her flaws in the mirror as I frowned in disapproval.
“Anaya, you only gone make yourself unhappy picking yourself apart like that.” “Terry, I can’t help it ok? I just don’t feel beautiful anymore.” “Hey, quit that shit man.” I spat pulling her into me as she sighed into my chest. “You are the most amazing woman I have ever met in my life, Ny. Quit fucking downing yourself. You know that shit be pissing me off.” I gritted as she stared at me on the brink of tears. I hate postpartum depression, with everything in my fucking soul. Anaya used to be so vibrant and full of life! We actually met in the gym funny enough. Now, she’s a shell of herself. She puts on a brave act but I see right through it.
**SIX YEARS AGO**
Tumblr media
Walking into the gym, I smirked dapping up the trainers and workers as I headed into the locker room to drop my bag. Securing my items, I poured my supplements into my bottle and headed back out to the water fountain to fill up. “Ayeee, Terry! Wassup man?” My homie, E, smiled tapping my shoulder. “Nun much, you know I had to come get that workout in.” “I feel you, man, I feel you. Might catch a view or two while you at it.” “Is that so?” I replied taking a glance around at all the beautiful women in the building as I bit my lip. “Hell yea, it’s some bad ones in here today.” “Bet, thank you for looking out.” “Shiiiit, you already know.” He smiled flashing off the numbers he got as I chuckled. “See you around, fool.” “You too, bruh.” He grinned walking out the door.
Shaking up my bottle, I headed over to the machine of choice for my warmup… the treadmill. Sending a few winks and smiles as I made my way, I narrowed in on this fine light skin making her way to the treadmills as well. She got it all, man. Stylish as hell, thick in all the right places, beautiful as a motherfucker. She’s 90’s Nia Long type of fine and my handsome ass had to make a move on that. Coasting over to the treadmills, I picked the machine right beside her and began stretching so she could see all my masculine glory. Finishing the stretch, I cut on my machine and started lightly jogging before matching her pace. Stealing glances at her as she vibed to whatever was playing in her Beats headphones, I turned my machine up a little more in an attempt to show off my skills. After about 20 minutes of silence, she ended her warmup before cutting the machine and heading off to her next set, all without so much as a glance in my direction.
Completing her workout as I watched from an unnoticeable distance, she finished the last of her reps before ridding the sweat from her brows and making sure she had all of her belongings to head out. “Now’s your chance, Tee.” I coached under my breath before traipsing toward her and the exit. “Excuse me, miss?” Looking up in confusion, she motioned for me to hold on before pausing her playlist and removing her buds. “Ummm, yes?” “I know this might seem kinda forward but I was noticing you earlier and I couldn’t let you leave without expressing how beautiful you are. Like you drop dead gorgeous, miss. Mona Lisa is having a hard time competing with you…” I smiled confidently as I stared at her intently biting my lip.
“Was I supposed to swoon or something? Do you say this to every woman you meet?” She remarked shooting me down as my face faltered at the first time rejection. “N-Nahhhh, I was just looking to compliment you.” “You were looking to get some ass.” “Mama, it’s not even like that.” I chuckled nervously as she narrowed her eyes and proceeded to cross her arms. “Oh really? What’s your name?” “Terry, but you can call me Tee.” “Oh really, Tee, is it? How many women could I stop right now that would testify that you’ve hit on them this week, Mr. Tee? Is there a woman in here besides myself that you haven’t talked to?” She questioned reading me like a book. “U-Ummm.” “I figured as much.” “My apologies, Missssss?” “Anaya.” She grumbled as I scrambled to recover from this failed shot. “Let me be more honest…” I said as she motioned for me to proceed. “I noticed you earlier by the machines and I found myself quite attracted to your beauty. Not because I wanna hit or anything like that. I was just hoping I could get your number and get to know you better and vice versa.” I rambled on nervously as she pierced my demeanor. “Much much better.” She smiled lighting my insides as my cheeks flushed with heat. “So, is that a yes?” “No.” She replied flatly before retreating to her car and driving off as I laughed in utter disbelief. Did she really just tell me no?
Tumblr media
Anaya
Entering my cozy apartment, I cut on the lights before calling out to my man. “Baeeee! Sebastian, I’m home!” Watching him scurry over to me, I smiled meeting his appreciative kisses at my feet. “Hey, my baby! You missed mama! Good boy! Hi! You so handsome!” I cooed massaging and tickling his luxurious coat. “Let’s go for a walk, baby boy.” I commanded placing his leash on before locking my doors back and letting him out to use the restroom. Finishing his business, I brought him back inside before starting on dinner for the evening.
“Hmmm, what about some steak tonight?” Barking in agreement, I smiled before pulling out all of my necessary items to make pepper steak with plantain, curry sauce, and rice and peas. Looking and realizing I was missing some ingredients for the curry sauce and that I would have to go back out, I groaned before sniffing myself and further frowning at the rancid sweaty smell. “Ok, baby, mama has to run back outside.” I groaned rolling my eyes as I trekked into my bedroom and grabbed my shower essentials. Finishing the quick shower, I dressed in a cute fit before throwing a couple spritz of perfume on and securing my shoes. Snapping a few pictures, I placed my phone in my bag and put some food and water into Bash’s cage before locking him back up and making my way back outside.
Declining on stopping at a regular store, I opted for the Caribbean market for the more traditional and fresher options. Grabbing a cart just in case, I started the journey through the aisles of the store. Realizing I was out of fruit for my smoothies, I perused the mangos and other tropical fruits before picking up some choices. “I should have made a list.” I mumbled to myself as I got preoccupied with the different delicacies in the store. Turning the corner to the spices, I spotted the guy from the gym earlier and cursed silently to myself. Terry or something like that. He looked as breathtaking as he did in the gym, it was his arrogance that made my damn skin crawl and he oozed with it. Ignoring his presence so he wouldn’t notice me, I browsed the dry spices before getting stuck on which level of jerk spice I would prefer to use for the night.
Feeling his electric gaze on me, I continued ignoring him and settled for the mild flavor before placing it into my cart. “Anaya, right?” He asked stopping me in my tracks as I looked up to meet his beautiful smile. “It must be fate, mama.” “You’re stalking me now?” “Hey hey hey, you in my neck of the woods.” “How so?” “C’mon, when have I ever seen you in here?” “I’m in here very frequently, you’re the new face.” I quipped as he smirked. “So jos chuu mi lait skin, mi kyaahn bi Jumiekan?” He asked making me giggle uncontrollably. “Ok, that impersonation was horrible!” “But you see it made you pretty ass smile.” He countered biting his lip as I flushed red. “Don’t flatter yourself, Ter-“ “Terry?! Mi lef yuh alone fi a few minutes an yuh get distracted tryn’ fi chat to gyal?” A beautiful woman fussed as he straightened up and turned around. “Ma, I wasn’t chatting. I was getting ready to head back with the spices.” He sighed apologetically. “Mmmhm, nice to meet you sweetheart. You have eyes for my son? He was a Marine, y’know.” “Maaa.” He complained as I giggled at he and his mother’s banter. Watching him gently walk her away, he mouthed an ‘I’m sorry’ as I shook my head.
Finishing up my food, I fed Bash a couple strips of steak before making a glass of wine to go with my food and sitting on the couch to pick a movie. Snuggling up under a blanket, I took a quick selfie before posting it to Snapchat and relaxing. Diving deep into the movie, I felt my phone vibrate before looking down to see it was a Snap notification. Clicking on it, I saw I had a new added friend from a TR_thaGod. Adding the person, a quick message popped up causing me to roll my eyes and smile.
From TR_thaGod: I found you, Mama. I’d say that’s some crazy ass fate or sum, right?
**PRESENT DAY**
Tumblr media
Thinking back on how Terry and I’s relationship started to where we are now, I smiled admiring him as he demonstrated the next exercise he wanted me to try. Biting my lip as I smiled at how blessed I was to have someone like him, I walked over as he collected himself with some water. Stopping in front of him, he eyed me warily as I met his stare. “You ok, Mama?” Nodding, I leaned in and hugged his waist close as he chuckled. “I’m not opposed to the loving, but what’s going on?” “I’m just really lucky to have you in my corner, baby.” I simpered nuzzling my face into his chest. “Nahhhh, I’d say I’m the lucky one, Mrs. Richmond. Shit, who knows who you would have ended up with had I not ran into you at the gym.” He cringed jokingly as I giggled at his teases. Hearing baby girl’s cries again, we both went into the nursery before she whined and babbled reaching for Terry. “Nnnnnnn, Dada.” She murmured squeezing her little fists open and closed as we stared in shock. “Did she just?” “Baby, she said Dada!” I squealed in delight as Maya looked at us both crazy still crying to be held. “You said your first words, fat mama? Say it again. Say Dada.” “Da! Dadadada. Da…” She babbled as he cuddled her with joy and teared up. Wiping his silent tears, I kissed her forehead and his as I admired my gorgeous family. I just needed a little push.

Okay, Darius raising three-year-old Hunter is precious, but consider Darius raising three-year-old Hunter AND carrying a diaper bag. Darius becomes one of those toddler dads that is carrying a diaper bag full of Hunter's favorite toys, snacks, and a change of clothes if Hunter gets too dirty from playing.
You know as soon as he made peace with the fact that he was now a father, he immediately started researching what things he would need.
He prioritized getting toys and things for Hunter, of course, but a man can get a bit self-indulgent, so he also has not one, but multiple carrying bags, he needs at least three so he can swap them accordingly to whatever outfit he's wearing that day. No reason he can't be stylish AND a dad, or so he said to an increasingly exasperated Eberwolf.
Though Hunter already has him wrapped around his little finger, clearly, because Darius might be watching him from a prudent distance in his spotless, white (seriously, he must stop wearing white when he goes to places where it's easy to get your clothes dirty) outfit, but if Hunter looks at him with those big, sweet eyes of his and asks him to play with him? Less than five minutes later, Darius has his needs on the dirt of a playground while making little roaring noises with the direwolf toy he's entertaining Hunter with.
That does not stop him, however, from getting Hunter to the nearest bathroom as well so they can both wash their hands for Hunter's snack break.
He's a very committed, meticulous dad, who will try his hardest to still be fashionable even if said fashion ends up muddy and with juice stains from time to time.

Camel Sleep Bags: A Stylish Choice for Babies
Tumblr media
When it comes to dressing your baby for sleep, comfort and safety are top priorities. As parents, we want to ensure that our little ones are cozy, secure, and able to rest peacefully throughout the night. One innovative solution that has gained popularity in recent years is the sleep bag, and Camel sleep bags have quickly become a favorite choice among parents looking for style, functionality, and quality.
In this blog, we'll explore why Camel sleep bags from Hushabye are the ideal sleepwear option for your baby and how they combine fashion, comfort, and practicality into one stylish package.
What are Camel Sleep Bags?
Camel sleep bags are a type of wearable blanket that provides a safe, snug sleeping environment for babies. Unlike traditional blankets that can easily slip off or pose a risk of suffocation, sleep bags are designed to keep babies warm and secure throughout the night. The soft, breathable fabric envelops your baby, offering warmth without overheating, while the secure fit prevents them from getting tangled in loose covers.
Why Choose Camel Sleep Bags?
1. Natural Temperature Regulation:
Camel wool is a natural material known for its remarkable ability to regulate temperature. Camel fibers are lightweight and breathable, offering a natural insulation that helps to maintain a comfortable body temperature throughout the night. This makes Camel sleep bags particularly ideal for babies, who are more sensitive to temperature changes. Whether it's a chilly night or a warmer evening, Camel wool ensures your baby stays cozy without getting too hot or too cold.
2. Gentle on Baby’s Skin:
One of the most important factors when selecting sleepwear for your baby is choosing a fabric that’s gentle on their delicate skin. Camel wool is incredibly soft, hypoallergenic, and naturally free from lanolin, making it an excellent option for babies with sensitive skin or allergies. Unlike synthetic fabrics, which can cause irritation, Camel wool provides a comfortable, non-irritating touch that keeps your baby happy and calm throughout their sleep.
3. Breathable and Moisture-Wicking:
In addition to being temperature-regulating, Camel wool has exceptional moisture-wicking properties. It draws moisture away from the skin, helping to keep your baby dry and comfortable even during warmer nights or if they sweat. This is especially beneficial for babies who tend to overheat or become damp during the night, as Camel wool helps maintain a dry sleeping environment, reducing the risk of discomfort or skin irritation.
4. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly:
As parents, we are becoming increasingly conscious of the environmental impact of the products we buy. Camel wool is a sustainable, renewable resource, making Camel sleep bags a more eco-friendly choice compared to synthetic alternatives. Hushabye is committed to sourcing ethically-produced materials and offers a product that’s both environmentally conscious and practical for your baby's needs.
5. Stylish Design:
Hushabye's Camel sleep bags are not only functional but also stylish. Available in a range of soft, neutral colors and adorable designs, these sleep bags fit seamlessly into your nursery decor while keeping your baby comfortable. Whether you prefer a minimalist aesthetic or something with a little more flair, Camel sleep bags provide a chic and cozy option that complements any baby's wardrobe.
6. Easy to Use:
Camel sleep bags from Hushabye are designed for convenience as well as comfort. They come with zippers or snaps for easy diaper changes, making nighttime routines smoother for both you and your baby. No more struggling with blankets or complicated outfits—Hushabye sleep bags are simple, practical, and perfect for sleep-deprived parents who want to make bedtime easier.
Why Hushabye?
At Hushabye, we are committed to offering high-quality, safe, and stylish sleepwear for babies. Our Camel sleep bags are made from carefully sourced Camel wool, ensuring that every product is of the highest standard. We understand that every baby is unique, which is why we offer a variety of sizes and designs to suit different preferences and needs.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right sleepwear for your baby is an important decision. With Hushabye’s Camel sleep bags, you can rest assured that your little one will enjoy a comfortable, cozy, and stylish night’s sleep. The natural temperature-regulating, breathable, and hypoallergenic properties of Camel wool make these sleep bags an excellent choice for keeping your baby safe, secure, and comfortable throughout the night.
If you want to give your baby the best in both comfort and style, choose Camel sleep bags from Hushabye—where innovation meets luxury for your little one’s restful sleep.

The Night of Secrets
In a quiet suburban neighborhood, there lived a woman named Lily. She was strikingly beautiful, with long, flowing hair and a warmth in her blue eyes that drew people to her. She often paired her curvy figure with stylish outfits: soft leggings and cozy UGG boots that hugged her legs perfectly. Despite her beauty, Lily carried a secret that had defined much of her life—she had never been potty trained and relied on pull-up training pants during the day and diapers at night.
Lily’s mother, an ever-caring presence, managed Lily’s unconventional life with love and compassion. Their bond was strong, grounded in years of navigating the challenges that came with Lily's condition. However, the day-to-day reality often straddled the line between nurturing and stifling, with moments that pushed the boundaries of embarrassment.
One fateful weekend, Lily decided to host a sleepover for her closest friends. It was an exciting opportunity for her to hang out and bond over late-night movies, popcorn, and laughter. In her mind, the friends would share secrets, create unforgettable memories, and maybe even just forget the pressure of the outside world for a while. But as the night approached, anxiety snuck in—would they find out about her situation?
As the sun dipped below the horizon, her friends arrived, radiating excitement. They laughed and chatted, filling the house with warmth and energy as they set up their sleeping bags in Lily's living room. With a smile plastered on her face, Lily tried to push thoughts of her secret away. They watched movies, played games, and indulged in snacks, but the nagging worry stayed with her.
As midnight approached, the inevitable happened. Lily felt uncomfortable—a sensation she was all too familiar with. The laughter and joy around her began to fade as her heart raced. She knew she needed to change, but could she? Would she let her friends see her in a vulnerable light?
In her mind, she fought against the idea, but when she overheard some innocent jokes about bathroom mishaps, the pressure boiled over. A fit of embarrassment and frustration erupted, and before she knew it, she was throwing a tantrum. The laughter turned to hushed whispers, glances exchanged among her friends. They were confused and concerned.
“Lily, are you okay?” one of her friends asked, a mixture of worry and surprise in her voice. But the questions felt like daggers to Lily’s pride. In her moment of vulnerability, she shouted, “I don’t need this!”
Within moments, Lily’s mother, hearing the commotion, rushed into the room. She was familiar with the signs of her daughter’s distress and lovingly wrapped her arms around Lily. “Sweetheart, let’s get you to bed,” she said softly.
As her mother guided her away from the group, Lily felt the embarrassment wash over her like a tidal wave. She could hear the whispers of her friends, the questions they were undoubtedly asking. In the privacy of her room, she fell onto her bed, the tears flowing freely. “I’m so humiliated!” she cried, as her mother gently tucked her in.
Later that night, after another round of comforting words, Lily's mother returned to help her into her nighttime diaper. The intimacy of the moment brought both comfort and humiliation. “This doesn’t have to be embarrassing, my love,” her mother reassured her. “We all have our challenges.”
The next morning, Lily awoke to the sound of laughter coming from the living room. As she scrambled to gather her thoughts, she realized in horror that her friends were still in the house. With dread, she remembered the events of the previous night. She peeked down at her warm diaper, feeling the wave of shame wash over her once again.
In a moment of desperation, she decided she would rather confront her fears than hide. Tentatively, she made her way to the living room, where her friends were gathered, chatting and snacking. Lily felt the heat rise in her cheeks as she approached. “Um, can we talk?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Her friends turned, their expressions a mix of surprise and tenderness. “Of course, Lily!” one said, her eyes shimmering with empathy.
With her heart racing, Lily confessed to her friends, revealing the truth about her situation.

Advice from Aryu
CW: None, past teen pregnancy referenced
Part 4 of "First Call Home." Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
The second week of Baro's break fell over the first week of Akemi's semester break. It surprised him how easily the three of them fell into a routine, resting and enjoying each other's company.
This is actually my life, he thought as he packed Hana's diaper bag, not unhappily.
He tucked Hana into her baby carrier, pleased he was finally able to secure her against his chest without assistance. The two of them left Akemi to nap on the couch and walked to the train station, heading for his mother's house.
The doors had barely closed when a mop of long hair swished across Baro's face.
"Sorry, my hair is too glam to control -- Baro?!"
Goddamnit.
"Hey Aryu."
"What a strange scarf you've got on. You know I really don't think pink is your color."
"Uh --"
"Wait, did you procure a child just to accessorize?"
"What?!"
"There's a baby in your strange pink scarf. Didn't you know?"
"Aryu, this is my daughter. She's literally a human baby."
Aryu tossed his hair over his shoulder and eyed Hana. "I'm trying to wrap my head around someone deciding to do something as un-glam as reproducing with you in high school."
Baro closed his eyes and took a deep breath. I will not yell at this donkey right over my daughter's head. I will not yell at this donkey right over my daughter's head...
"I suppose she's cute though. Too young to really be glam, but I've got time to influence her."
Baro couldn't think of anything he was willing to say in front of Hana. To his chagrin, Aryu settled into the seat next to him. Even worse, Hana seemed mesmerized by Aryu and poked at his shoulder. Aryu grinned and allowed Hana to grab onto his fingers.
"See? She's taken to me already."
"Looks like it."
"So strange I didn't know you were a father, Baro."
"Didn't tell anyone."
"Why not?"
Baro didn't answer. Hana grabbed a strand of Aryu's hair; Baro enjoyed watching the other man try not to freak out.
"You gonna tell everyone when we get back to Blue Lock?" he asked finally. He took mercy and gently pried the baby's fingers off Aryu's hair.
"Not my place. Gossip is so un-stylish."
"Thanks."
"But you should tell people, I think. Secrets are bad for the complexion."
Baro blinked. His stop was announced and he stood up.
"See you around, Aryu."
----------------------------------------------
Baro dropped Hana off with his mother and tried not to panic when his little sisters immediately carried her off, yelling "princess time!". His mother waved him out the door and chased after them.
Slightly shaken, Baro went to run the errands he'd planned. His mother was looking after Hana for the night, and he wanted to be sure Akemi had the date she deserved.

Add a head support to your baby's pram for added comfort and support for their neck and head. For extra comfort and support on bumpy rides, a head support is a must-have pram accessory. Get a coordinated and comfortable look for your baby's pram by choosing head supports with complementary harness covers. Enhance your pram's functionality with a handy pram caddy or stroller organiser. These handy bags attach to the handles of your stroller or pram and provide extra storage for essentials like diapers, wipes, and bottles.

Never Travel Without a Diaper, Here’s the Reason
Tumblr media
If you've ever been pickpocketed, the harsh truth is you might have unknowingly made it easier for the thief. But don't worry—here are ultimate tips to prevent it from happening again. Scammers can be incredibly clever, using tactics to make you part with your money willingly. Before heading out, it's essential to research common scam techniques in your destination. For example, Paris has a well-known scam where individuals offer to help with Metro tickets.
The scam typically plays out like this: after a long flight, you arrive at the Metro station ready to buy tickets. A person in regular clothing may approach, offering assistance. However, these individuals are often scammers, not helpful locals. Instead of purchasing the "carnet" (a book of 10 Metro tickets) as promised, they might buy a child's single fare ticket and keep the extra money. The best way to protect yourself? Politely refuse assistance and buy tickets directly from legitimate machines, which offer multiple language options, or from an official kiosk.
Now, let's talk about worst-case scenarios. Imagine your belongings have been stolen, even in a public restroom where space is limited for your luggage. What are the two items you must never travel without? That's right—your passport and wallet. Always keep these essentials with you. To secure them, consider wearing clothing with internal pockets or use a pouch that stays in front of you. You could also use a small hook to lock your zippers together, making it difficult for thieves to access your bag.
There are countless travel accessories available online, but you can create your own safety solutions. For instance, instead of buying socks with pockets, you can layer two socks—one shorter and one taller—placing valuables between them for hidden security.
Researching your destination is crucial, not just for safety but also for understanding local laws and health requirements. Some exotic destinations may require vaccinations, so check health advisories in advance.
Be cautious about packing advice you find online. Some "pack your luggage with me" bloggers may suggest questionable methods, such as hiding valuables inside a diaper. This can attract suspicion during airport security checks and result in your belongings being held for inspection.
When traveling, avoid checking items you aren't prepared to lose. Statistics show that for every 1,000 checked bags, seven get lost. While many are eventually returned, it could take weeks or even months. I once had my bag lost after a European trip, and it took a month to locate it. Unfortunately, the delicious cheese I bought in Italy was no longer consumable.
Hotel security is another concern. While there are portable locks and safety gadgets available, space limitations in carry-on luggage can make it hard to pack them all. A simple trick? Use a towel from your hotel. Rolling it tightly and placing it under the door can create a barrier against under-door intrusions, though it's not a perfect solution.
Here's a surprising tip—keep a crayon in your wallet. Crayons are always ready to write, don't break easily, and won't run out of ink. Plus, they can help prevent your cards from bending or breaking inside your wallet.
Consider bringing two phones while traveling, especially abroad. This isn't just for communication but as a precaution against theft. Carry a decoy wallet and phone in your back pocket while keeping your primary wallet and phone securely in the front pocket. If confronted, you can hand over the decoy items, keeping your real valuables safe.
Surprisingly, attracting thieves isn't always about flashy accessories. Simply looking attractive and well-dressed can draw unwanted attention, especially for women. Thieves may assume a stylish appearance equates to wealth. To minimize risk, avoid overdressing while traveling. Plus, this approach leaves extra space in your luggage for souvenirs and allows you to donate old clothes at your destination, avoiding excess baggage fees.
A clever trick to deter thieves is using duct tape. Making your belongings look worn or shabby can make them less appealing. Thieves often target pristine, high-value items that are easier to resell. Cover your phone case, laptop, or backpack with worn tape to reduce its attractiveness.
Finally, some tourist spots are notorious for pickpocketing. For example, Rome's Trevi Fountain sees many thefts due to the large crowds. However, Barcelona is often cited as the world's pickpocketing capital. To protect yourself, secure your bags by looping the strap around a chair leg, keeping it on your lap, or placing it between you and a companion. This makes it more difficult for thieves to snatch your belongings.
Stay vigilant and enjoy your travels with peace of mind. Safe journeys!

Buying an Hermès Birkin bag, the leather, top-handle tote inspired by the late Jane Birkin, is a rarified experience by design. Birkin ownership is one of fashion's most elite clubs on account of its price (starting in the five figures) and its scarcity (bags are only accessible to longstanding clients). To put it in celebrity terms: Jennifer Lopez's extensive collection is an exception, not a rule. But a look-alike, so-called "Walmart Birkin" bag's overnight popularity has the internet debating what it means to buy an It-bag.In December, Walmart listed a $78-dollar bag imitating the Birkin's top handles, lock detail, and square compartment. It didn't take long for shoppers to clock the resemblance to the real deal—and for some to declare buying one a chance to reassess the definition of luxury. Over the holidays, over one thousand TikTok videos of creators unboxing their Walmart Birkins have amassed millions of views. Satisfied shoppers said that their purchases telegraphed wealth on a tight budget. Some even bought more than one. Meanwhile, fashion historians and critics noted how the materials, production processes, and overall feel weren't similar to a real Birkin at all—and that buying a copy underscores the impact of the original.Yet, for many shoppers, the debate is part of the fun. "The bags are super cute, and the fact that they are making people so mad is an added bonus," one user commented on a Walmart Birkin reveal with more than 24,000 likes. @courtneyzanee24 ♬ original sound - Frankie Bleau @lastinglooks ♬ original sound - Lasting Looks with Jules All the back-and-forth, in part, emphasizes how great of an impact Hermès's tote had on the luxury market to begin with.

But few have been as readily available and blatantly similar as the "Wirkin," shoppable for less than $100 with instant shipping.

The Wirkin, meanwhile, is mass-produced and not necessarily from traceable materials; it's made for someone who wants to dip into the feeling of carrying a Birkin à la J.Lo without living the actual lifestyle. The Wirkin, in other words, is repackaging a fraction of what the Birkin actually offers—hence the extreme difference in cost.

Buying an Hermès Birkin bag, the leather, top-handle tote inspired by the late Jane Birkin, is a rarified experience by design. Birkin ownership is one of fashion's most elite clubs on account of its price (starting in the five figures) and its scarcity (bags are only accessible to longstanding clients). To put it in celebrity terms: Jennifer Lopez's extensive collection is an exception, not a rule. But a look-alike, so-called "Walmart Birkin" bag's overnight popularity has the internet debating what it means to buy an It-bag.In December, Walmart listed a $78-dollar bag imitating the Birkin's top handles, lock detail, and square compartment. It didn't take long for shoppers to clock the resemblance to the real deal—and for some to declare buying one a chance to reassess the definition of luxury. Over the holidays, over one thousand TikTok videos of creators unboxing their Walmart Birkins have amassed millions of views. Satisfied shoppers said that their purchases telegraphed wealth on a tight budget. Some even bought more than one. Meanwhile, fashion historians and critics noted how the materials, production processes, and overall feel weren't similar to a real Birkin at all—and that buying a copy underscores the impact of the original.Yet, for many shoppers, the debate is part of the fun. "The bags are super cute, and the fact that they are making people so mad is an added bonus," one user commented on a Walmart Birkin reveal with more than 24,000 likes. @courtneyzanee24 ♬ original sound - Frankie Bleau @lastinglooks ♬ original sound - Lasting Looks with Jules All the back-and-forth, in part, emphasizes how great of an impact Hermès's tote had on the luxury market to begin with. The Birkin wasn't immediately a status item when it was released in 1984 on Jane Birkin's request for a stylish diaper bag. Over time, it steadily gained a cult following through scarcity marketing tactics (Birkins are produced by hand in extremely limited quantities), celebrity street style, and pointed references in pop culture. One early episode of Sex and the City has an entire plot revolving around Samantha's quest to get on the Birkin list, for example.The Birkin bag has had many imitators over the years. Just take a walk down New York City's Canal St. or head to DH-Gate or Temu for proof. But few have been as readily available and blatantly similar as the "Wirkin," shoppable for less than $100 with instant shipping. This phenomenon has sparked online discussions about whether a copycat bag can match the appeal of the original, particularly given the strong demand for the Walmart version, which has reportedly sold out in several markets.Jane Birkin carrying her namesake bag in 2013.(Image credit: Getty Images)One thing's for sure: Unpacking the Walmart Birkin controversy isn't as simple as a "What's in My Bag" tour. But the following is a start.What Is the Walmart Birkin? Whether you're carrying one or not, the "Wirkin" isn't going to trick the trained eye. In no way affiliated with the original designer, the bag comes from four third-party sellers listed within Walmart's online store, including Judy, Kamugo, Bestspr, and Ymtq. The under-$100 top-handle style is sold in several colors and purports to be made from genuine leather. Some versions are matched with a coordinating scarf wrapped around the handle. Listing details for the bags don't reference Hermès directly, but the inspiration is evident in the shape, size, and lock clasp.Get exclusive access to fashion and beauty trends, hot-off-the-press celebrity news, and more.The Birkin isn't the only bag with a third-party dupe on the retailer. Imitation versions of the Kelly bag and Bottega Veneta woven bags are also available. @roryuphold ♬ original sound - Rory Uphold The Birkin, however, has gone viral because of shoppers who've purchased a Walmart Birkin and instructed other shoppers to join the trend. They have a few reasons for touting what fashion critics call a dupe. First, they say it's making luxury more accessible by translating an exclusive status symbol into a mass-produced accessory for a tiny percentage of the original cost. Second, they categorize the move as taking power back from big brands. In their eyes, the Wirkin is indistinguishable from the original—diluting the first bag's storied reputation and eye-watering prices. Third, a few purchasers have joked that the trend is a form of collector's item—their way of remembering 2025 culture decades from now.Fashion critics, legal scholars, and general TikTok users have all debated these points at length. Wirkin shoppers have hit back that even criticizing the bag is a form of classism. @jermaingarcia8 ♬ La vie en rose (Cover Edith Piaf) - 田东昱 Why Is the Walmart Birkin Controversial?The great Wirkin debate touches on several bigger questions plaguing the fashion industry right now. First, there is the distance between a brand's perceived power and the prices its products command. Second, and perhaps most tellingly, is the question of who can (and should) have access to luxury goods.Let's start with prices. Wirkin supporters say their discount find undermines the sky-high prices of the original Birkin. Other fashion voices, like critic and stylist @jesicaelise, disagree. Hermès's products are what economists call Veblen goods: Items that experience an increase in demand as their prices rise.
