My new wallet - Great Starry Wave Mighty Wallet*

My new wallet - Great Starry Wave Mighty Wallet*

Mighty Wallet Review AFTER 6 YEARS

February 03, 2021 by Jacinle in Shopping

After using my Mighty Wallet* on a daily basis for at least 6 years, I think it deserves a thorough review for the internet. My partner gifted me my first Mighty Wallet back in 2014. It is such a great conversation starter and receives compliments all the time. After my first mighty wallet worn down, I purchased my second Mighty Wallet (Picture Day)* in 2015.

Mighty Wallets are folded entirely out of a single sheet of Tyvek, which is more commonly known as the materials for USPS express mail envelopes. Since I’m writing this review during the pandemic, it is worth noting that Tyvek was also used to manufacture PPE against COVID-19. 

I enjoyed using this wallet for the following reasons.

  1. Super Light. With all my essential IDs and credit cards (6 cards in total), it weighs only 45 grams / 1.58 oz. It is also extremely slim and fits in my jeans pocket nicely;

  2. Durable. The wallet has held up impressively well after 6 years. There are no tears or rips. I have dropped it on rainy days several times and it dried nicely. The print did fade quite a bit. This is the only reason I decided to buy a replacement;

  3. Spacious. I tend to collect all my receipts for personal bookkeeping. And it holds a lot of receipts;

  4. The design! There are so many cool and fun designs available. Mine is “Picture Day“, which features a cute ferret senior picture inside!

  5. For the tree huggers out there, Tyvek is made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and is recyclable;

  6. The eye-catcher receives compliments all the time. People are always curious about this “paper“ wallet;

  7. Reasonable price. Considering it lasted 6 years, the annual cost is only $3.

I would definitely recommend Mighty Wallet to anyone who finds traditional wallets too corporate, too old-fashioned, or too heavy. If none of the existing designs speaks to you, you can opt for designing your own Mighty Wallet. I customized a Mighty Wallet with pictures of our lovely ferrets for my partner in 2020. The customized wallet takes longer to print and ship, but it certainly is worth the wait. The image printed terrifically well. But make sure you use high resolutions pictures.

Along with the customized Mighty Wallet, I also purchased a Mighty Wristlet. As an avid popcorn enthusiast, the wristlet sparks joy every time I use it. It holds all my essentials when running errands or grocery shopping. The wristlet itself, like the Mighty Wallet, is also extremely lightweight, weighing only 25 gram / 0.88 oz. 

The only disappointment is when the stitches on the bottom of the pouch fell apart. I had to sew it by hand but haven’t had any issues since then.

The ease of sanitation is also why I have been using it exclusively since the pandemic started. I normally give it a good spray with 70% rubbing alcohol then wipe it down.

2020 Shopping Reflection | 2020 消费回顾

December 22, 2020 by Jacinle in Wardrobe, Shopping

今年把所有买过的非消耗品全记在手账第一页了,虽然有意识地少买再加上疫情原因比较少出门,但还是记满了整整一页。

我年初想要缩减的重头是衣橱部分,2020年的确比前两年少花了许多,也没有任何痛苦。虽然大概率是因为没有机会出门导致置办衣物的兴致大减,但还是有两个比较有用的延迟衣物消费的办法,一是在pinterest上pin了喜欢却没有场合穿的衣服鞋子,这个过程中我会逐渐筛选掉看腻的东西,留下来的单品如果有需求就设个关键词等二手;二是经常看看r/nobuy上同样在执行no buy/low buy的网友帖子,找到了一个社群还挺有归属感的,也能自我督促。2021年我还会继续记录消费,有意识地消费。

  20. BAGGU Gingham Reusable Loop Mask*

  21. Madewell Gingham Scrunchie* (今年从gingham tote开始一发不可收拾了!)

今年在衣橱部分(包含贴身衣物)总共花了$572.12,因为年初把Mulberry包包卖掉了所以卖出的东西总价大约$750(庆幸卖得早,感觉按目前二手市场的形势更加难出手了……)总花费比去年减少了约6成。其中30%左右是淘的二手。惊喜的是发现了本地一家二手店的某家分店还是挺值得淘的(surprise, surprise, in a rich neighborhood),去费城的时候也逛到了几家很不错的二手店。少买少错,今年衣橱消费唯一已经开始后悔的就是深蓝色的headband,只能搭配一套夏天的jumpsuit所以利用率特别低。

今年还格外喜欢白色的浅驼色的裤子,可能因为冬季衣柜的下装真的太沉闷了,想要一些白色单品来点亮心情。但是在家务工也没有机会穿,她们会暂时留在我的pinterest board上仅供观赏 (◞‸◟)

感谢你读完如此无聊的列举总结!
