From Delux.ph Flagship Store
This ergonomic mouse is a game-changer! Since my work requires me to be in front of my computer all day, I need tools that help me move more efficiently. Comfort has never felt this good. There's no way I’m coming back to my old mouse!

Logitech Folio Touch with Trackpad for iPad Air
From Logitech Official Website
I invested in an iPad for both work and play, so having a keyboard and touchpad handy has been such a comfort for a writer and editor like me. I don’t need to bring my heavier laptop when I need to work away from my desk anymore because I can freely use my iPad for writing and editing whenever I need to!

Mi Smart Band 6
From Mi Official Website
I purchased this fitness tracker from Xiaomi as a gift for my boyfriend because he loves biking. I love that this smart device can help track his activities! Not only that, but it can also keep track his sleep and other health stats. He loved it, and that makes buying this device a smart choice for me!

ORIA USB-Rechargeable Digital Kitchen Scale
From ORIA Official Lazada Shop
I’m trying to learn how to portion my food and track my protein intake so this has been a huge help over the past few months. It also has unit options and the battery lasts long, too.

Huawei Band 7
From Huawei Official Website
I needed a smart wearable that monitored my health stats and looked cute at the same time–enter the Huawei Band 7. Its health monitoring feature easily gives me the numbers I need with just a few swipes, so I’m more mindful to take more steps or take some deep breaths when I need to. And you really can’t deny how nice it looks.

FIFINE K683B USB-C Microphone
From Fifine Philippines Flagship Store
I really needed a microphone instead of using the mic from my cheap earphones, so I settled for the FIFINE K683B. With its sturdy stand and solid sound, I never had to worry about the way I sound in presentations.

Anker PowerPort Atom III
From Anker Philippines Official Website
My husband and I have a lot of devices between us, so the Anker Powerport is a big help in charging multiple devices at once. We’re so happy because charging is now quick and easy. We can just leave the cables in the port and use them when needed.
Anker is also one of our favorite brands because it’s reliable and it really lasts. We actually have something similar to this already, but figured it was time for an upgrade since our devices have also been upgraded. We ended up giving the old Anker to my mother-in-law and she’s still able to use it, so I can really say it’s a sulit buy!

Crabtek WiFi Smart Bulb
From Crabtek Philippines Official Website
I like how the Crabtek Smart Bulb can change colors depending on the mode I set it on. Other than the natural light in my room, I’ve set it to a dim red before going to sleep to help me sleep quicker. I can even time it to turn off even when I’m already asleep by setting a timer with my Google Assistant so I don't waste electricity by having it on for the entire night.
