U Power Wallet: The Minimalists Slim Wallet and Stylus Pen

Hi everyone! Today I’m going to introduce something awesome. Yes that’s right, awesome because you haven’t seen anything like this before.

Based on research, both the ATM buttons, and the public toilet seats have the same pseudomonades and bacillus bacteria. These germs may not kill people but will cause them serious stomach distress. Due to this information, Stewart Clark decided to track how the germs from the ATM can travel to your body. So how do we usually use the ATM? First, we will remove the wallet from our pocket or bag then we will take our bankcard from the wallet. Then we will swipe the bankcard to the ATM, we will use our fingers to enter the PIN and press the buttons at the ATM. This is where the contamination happens. With this realization, Stewart decided to create a new innovative product called The U Power wallet.

The U Power wallet is for the in-trend minimalists. It features slim design, RFID blocking fabric, innovative stylus pen functionality. Aside from this, it is also ergonomically designed to make input to ATMs easier. The first prototype was created by Stewart by gluing a piece of antimicrobial (acticoat for wound care) conductive fabric on a billfold wallet that he purchased from the Dollar General. Stewart constructed the second prototype from some cotton fabric and a strip of antimicrobial conductive fabric, and then the third prototype from all antimicrobial conductive fabric material. Stewart immediately began to receive wallet requests from family and friends.

U Power Wallet Dimensions & Features:

  • Length: 5”  Width: 3” Thickness: 3 mm
  • Conductive Fabric - 3 pockets - Stylus Pen Tip
  • Security Strap - ID Window

How Does The U Power Wallet Work:

Just “swipe, then enter touch-less information entry,” with the U Power Wallet.  The U Power wallet is constructed from medical grade conductive, and radiofrequency blocking fabrics.  Both fabrics are impregnated with nanoparticles of silver.  Silver is a metal so it can easily block radiowaves, and pass a low thermal current from your touch.  It’s “The wallet U Power…with your touch!” 

  • The U Power wallet’s slim ergonomic design with its stylus pen point allows the user to make touch-less information entry on everything from ATM’s, supermarket checkout kiosk, DVD rental kiosk, tablet computers, smart phones and many more touch devices. 
  • The U Power wallet’s radiofrequency blocking fabric will keep your bankcards, and passports secure from RFID theft.
  • The U Power wallet fits conveniently in any pocket.

But this is just the start of the journey to make this project a success. The funds raised through the U Power wallet Kickstarter project will be used to professionally manufacture the U Power line. The U Power line includes two different wallet styles and colors. The funds will enable Stewart to procure raw materials; it will also help with the cost associated with a large-scale production run. The U Power wallet can be purchased online by clicking this link to the Kickstarter Page: http://kck.st/Zx4QaM 

You can also view the U Power wallet’s YouTube video here.

This project will only be funded if at least $20,000 is pledged by Sunday Jul 14, 8:00am EDT. 

This is such an amazing and innovative project so don’t miss out the chance to support and take a pledge. Every single dollar will be a great help.






Born Pretty

“Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.” Gwyneth Paltrow 


Guess who’s excited about her new make-up! Specially lippies! Yay! I was so excited when I received this lip palette from Born Pretty. Instead of having to buy individual tubes of lipstick if you want to try a new shade, I think having this 30 Color Gel Lip Gloss/Lip Stick is the best choice. Imagine having all these beautiful shades for only $10.54, it’s such a great deal! 

image

It comes with a mirror too so application is so easy anywhere you are.

image    Here’s a closer look at the pretty colors. From reds, pinks, oranges, nudes and violets, this palette has it all.

And to make application easier, I also have this retractable Lip Brush which costs only $1.92. It’s so easy to use and you can carry it everywhere. What a perfect match to my pretty palette!

image

Now with the swatches, since it has 30 shades, I just chose 3 colors or else this will become a really long blog post. Haha!

Overall, the texture of the lippies in this palette is creamy and I can say that it is highly pigmented. The finish is glossy so you don’t need to apply lip gloss afterwards.

image

Here’s the swats for the reddish-orange shade.

image

This one in particular is my favorite because I’ve always wanted to know if violet/purplish lippy would look good on me but I never had a chance to try it. Good thing that this palette has this shade, I’m in love!

image

Then finally, this peachy shade looks really subtle. I think it’s perfect for daily girly look.

image

Here they are. What do you think is the best shade for me? I think they all look beautiful in different ways. By the way, sorry for the photos, I think I need different shades of lip liners as well to make my lips look more defined.

I really loved my Lip Palette and Lip Brush both from Born Pretty
