This gypsetting mum thrives in clutter. My hybrid trolley could attest to that. If I’d be ambushed by a fellow travel blogger for a what’s-in-your-bag interview, I’ll sprint away no matter how weighty my backpack is and never look back.
Or I’ll agree to it but will warn the interviewer, “Open at your own risk!”.
I was introduced to packing cubes and gadget organizers many moons ago. I actually bought a few. But they all ended up parked on shelves in my granma’s house. Sitting pretty and collecting dust. Meanwhile, elsewhere exotic, reused plastic bags took/are still taking their place in our bags.
Why?
Well, they’re weightless. Can hug any form. And a hard habit to break.
November last year, a couple of luxe travel accessories came in the mail. My hippie self ain’t particularly attracted to travel accessories that are tagged “luxe”—heck—I ain’t particularly attracted to travel accessories, period. So I let them hang out with ze packing cubes and gadget organizers on granma’s shelf for some time.
Recently, I gave these two gifts a go.
Anma Lifestyle
Anma Lifestyle (launched in November 2012) is about travel accessories that are both functional and stylish — traits that allow the user to explore the world with ease and grace. The brand’s products are made of high quality materials, yet easy on the pocket.
And it’s proudly Pinoy.
Grab Clutch Ipad Case (Black/Purple)
A rectangular main with contrast detailing, a grab handle to the front, and a gold-tone zip through fastening to the top, in a smooth, leather look finish. Interior features slip pocket. Padded. Color-block design.
We use this to stash our tablet and phones. It serves its purpose well, and I hope it will be available in more pastel colors in the near future (other colors: white/aqua, beige/tan)
Jewelry Roll (Violet)
Has four zippered pockets (to safe keep your chokers, necklaces and bracelets), twelve earring posts, three dangling posts and a ring bar. Micro-suede interior ensures your gems and ornaments remain scratch-free. The compact size of this jewelry case enables it to fit snugly in most travel bags.
Before owning one, I used to stash my accessories in a small pouch. My necklaces, bracelets and dangling earrings always got tangled with each other! This jewelry roll ain’t exactly a roll, but a slim envelope. Fits in my small weekender bag! This is my fave Anma Lifestyle product.
Some of their products can be monogrammed! Perfect gift for a travel junkie friend or relative!
Travel Wallet
Has four compartments: Tickets, passport, documents and cash. Zippered compartment for coins, and an exterior compartment for boarding pass. Genuine leather with satin lining.
I reckon I’ll never be a neatnik, but I hafta admit, there’s something about organized clutter that calms a backpacker mum’s mind. Am glad Anma Lifestyle is helping me manage my mess!

Luna is so cute! I wanna hug her! 🙂 Off topic, but I just had to say it!
Ooh, i like that jewelry organizer. I’ve collected so many boho accessories meant to be used for travels but they always get tangled up so I end up leaving them at home than risk breaking them. Will add that to my wishlist! 🙂
Parang kelangan ko nung jewelry organizer. hahaha
Ang cuute ni Luna, may future!!!
Ahahaha! At ako ang future stage mother!
I sooo feel you! Am sure you’ll love the jewelry organizer as well.
Haha! When we see each other again, you get to hug her 🙂
Ganda nung wallet! 😀
I like it too! I’ll prolly get one 🙂
These accessories look uber-nice! Sadly, I don’t have any travel money to spare — or an iPad. Hehehe. But it’s quite intriguing that this is locally made. 😀
Si baby gurl model/actress (a. curtis) in the making? Hehe
These accessories are helpful for travelers like me. I love it. I can use it when I do traveling again this year.
