#IAmUrbanBrave 💪🏼

Bitten by the travel bug, I seek adventure all of the time. For me, an adventure could be an out of town trip with my friends, an out of the country vacation with my family or simply a solo exploration of my neighbourhood. But for every adventure, it's important to always be prepared. Luckily, we have Urbanize to supply us with the most stylish and functional travel gear for braving the urban life. Here are my Top 5 Urbanize Must-Haves for a fun-filled adventure!

1. FJALLRAVEN Kanken Backpack

What I like most about Fjallraven's classic Kanken backpack is that, not only is it sleek and stylish, it is also very durable. The bags are made with hardwearing vinylon fabric, with seat pads on the inside pockets.

Being an overpacker on trips, I’m assured that all of my stuff are safe and can be carried with ease with the simple yet strong shoulder straps and handles on top of the bag. With a wide variety of colors, there’s surely a bag for everyone. Being a pastel aficionado, my faves here are Pink, Sky Blue, Warm Yellow and Orchid.

2. ARTIART Butterfly Water Bottle

Doing lots of walking and sight-seeing on your trips, it’s important to keep yourself hydrated. That’s why I always bring with me a bottle of water.

Being such a cluts, I love the anti-spillage design of Artiart’s Butterfly Water Bottle. No more accidentally spilling over my water bottle because this one has a clever grip-pad that keeps it stable. When lifted up straight, it will detach itself quickly and easily. Also, it has a twin wall that insulates and keeps the beverage hot longer.

3. KIKO Leather Journal

I love to keep track of my travels through a journal. I like to plan and make lists and schedules and write about the things that happened on that day. I love to just doodle and sketch whenever I’m bored, and I sometimes have these sudden urges to draw when I see something beautiful.

I don’t know about you, but writing and drawing on paper is just simply different from doing it on electronic devices. And Kiko’s Leather Journal is the perfect notebook to contain my inner thoughts. It’s hand-crafted with naturally unlined cowhide leather. The journal comes with the Moleskine Cahier Journal and features a braided cord bookmark, rugged stitched latch, and a durable textured exterior that will get softer and smoother with age.

4. HELLOLULU Sling Bag

When going around town and sight-seeing, I like to keep things light so that I’d be able to enjoy the experience more without feeling burdened.

The Hellolulu Sling Bag is a light and great choice for my on-the-go traveling needs. The main compartment is zippered with magnetic closures. It has a quick access front pocket with key clip and back zipped pocket. It can keep my essential items organised in the internal slip pocket and pen slot. The body is made with polyester with water repellent coating, keeping my stuff safe from getting wet.

5. ELECOM Speakers

Of course, for every great adventure, there needs to be an equally amazing playlist. Elecom’s cube speakers are the perfect portable speakers to have on a trip.

It has a built-in amplifier for a high output of 300 mW × 2. (The best for smartphone music.) Simple, light and compact, I can bring it anywhere, even while, let’s say going up mountains! It forms a cube shape when folded so it's easy to carry around. Plus, it can be used as a passive speaker when the batteries have run out of power

CHECK IT OUT!

You can check these items for yourself in any Urbanize Store. They have branches in SM Marikina, SM Southmall, SM Fairview, SM North, SM Megamall, SM Clark, Solenad Nuvali, and UP Town Center. You can also check out their website and Facebook for more details about their products.

With these sleek items in hand, each trip will be made more memorable. #IAmUrbanBrave #UrbanizePH #BravetheCity.

Ready to #BraveTheCity with Urbanize PH!

I’ve been a province girl for almost the whole of my life, and it has only been recently (almost three years, to be exact!) since I moved out from my parents’ house because of work and started living in the city. It was a whole new world for me. The noise level was different, no one was there to do chores for me, and I would constantly find myself doing more and more things alone. It wasn’t really lonely, nor was it difficult to adjust. As it was, I actually learned to be more independent, most probably because I couldn’t afford to not to! Haha! With this new adventurous chapter in my life, I needed a companion to help me #BraveTheCity, and there came Urbanize.

About Urbanize PH - Made for Urban Adventure, made for you

Our story is not about us, it’s all about you, the urban dweller, the weekend warrior, the bus gymnast, the railway athlete and the multi-tasking expert. You inspired us to make products with fashion, function and style.

Indeed, Urbanize serves as the reflection of the rugged city streets, the smart casual weekend hangouts and the busy business districts of the metropolis.  Our story is your own story, our adventure is your own adventure too.

A few days ago, some selected bloggers and I got invited to an intimate afternoon filled with fun activities courtesy of Nuffnang and Urbanize. We were divided into two teams of five, and were tasked to finish three challenges in the most creative (not to mention competitive! Haha!) manner.

My group mates. From left to right: Kelly Araneta, Zedrik Europe, Kyna Gem Sy, and JP De Leon.

After filling our tummies with yummy food from Spatzle, it was time for the challenges! Challenge #1 asked the teams to create and style a look based on four themes using items from the Urbanize store, which their representatives will then showcase on the runway. We were also asked to take photos and upload our entries on Instagram.

This was the photo that made it to JP’s feed (because he was the one on our team who has the most engagement on Instagram!) Our team chose to do Business Class on Zedrik and Urban Jetsetter on Kyna.

Zedrik, going down the runway with his Urbanize products. 

Blogger competitions cannot be called true without, you guess it, a flatlay challenge! That was Challenge #2, where we were given a bag full of Urbanize products. The host was to describe each individual product and we were supposed to guess which one she was talking about! After that, we had to roll up our sleeves and take a flatlay photo of what we got in the bag!

I’ve been doing flatlays since 2011, way back when the actual word was rarely used, so this huge mess of people and hands isn’t at all new to me. It’s just funny from an outsider’s perspective, I think, and probably even weird, when you see a group of people huddled over a bunch of inanimate objects obviously arranged in an aesthetically pleasing manner. And look, we even used flashlights! 

Here’s what we came up with! Again, thanks JP for taking the picture and volunteering to upload it on your feed! 

The fun wasn’t over though! Challenge #3 had us heading back to the Urbanize store to do a Mannequin Challenge. This was my favorite challenge out of the three mostly because it included us posing behind the glass windows where mannequins are displayed (it has always been a dream!) I wasn’t sure how we did, because we were laughing the whole time, but it was super fun! 

After the fun challenges, we again sat down for refreshments while we listened to Sir Jay Jallorina talk about how to make a career out of Photography. What did I get out of his talk? It’s that in order to establish a name or make a mark in your chosen industry, all you have to do is focus your attention on looking for a problem someone hasn’t solved yet.

Group photo! Our team didn’t win the challenges, but it was a whole lot of fun interacting and getting to meet new people, and of course exploring the different items from Urbanize, proving just how they can be both fashionable and functional!

Thank you so much for having us, Urbanize!

#IAmUrbanBrave

Meow,

I am always on-the-go, and I must admit that Urban Adventure is not always fun and easy. I have to have a little help to become Urban Brave! 

Top 5 Most Fashionable Urbanize Must-Haves:

Slim. Fun. Light. Durable. A Wallet/Card Holder that’s functional, and fashionable.

My favorite design is the 1028-Mable:

What I love about this tiny product is it can hold up to 10 cards with some cash! This is the only thing I need to bring whenever I’m running a quick errand. 

Cosmetic Organizer by Lewis N. Clark

This organizer is perfect for everyday adventure! Whether you bring makeup or toiletries with you, it is necessary to put everything in one pouch for a clutter-free bag. It will also give you easy access to what you need without digging deep inside your bag!

The design is so stylish yet functional. It has 2 zippered compartment - 1 mesh and 1 TPU - can be combined or detached for individual use depending on our daily needs.

Coffee is life. A French Press to-go.

ESPRO Travel Press is what you need to start your day! Coffee lover or Tea lover? Either way, you can take this tumbler with you! I specifically love this product because I can bring my favorite coffee while I face the extreme traffic. Coffee just sets everything in place.

Easy-to-find ear buds 

Who doesn’t like listening to music while travelling? This Ear Buds with Case is so efficient, keeping yours tangle-free and easy-to-find; just attached it in your bag, and you won’t have any problem finding it next time you’ll need it!

It has a lot of color options, but the white one is so sleek that I can put it in any of my bag.

5000 mAh Powerbank by STM

Perfect for people who are always on-the-go! We use our phones every single time, whether we’re on the road, at work, or shopping at the mall. Having a powerbank is great since I don’t have to worry about having low phone battery. A compact and lightweight powerbank, what else do I need?

They are all functional, durable, and stylish perfect for my “on-the-go lifestyle”!  I am ready to face the Urban Adventure any time of the of the day! Thanks to Urbanize for having all the essentials I need to be Urban Brave!

All Geared Up

We are urbanites who seek for adventures and believe that life has to be lived to the fullest. Traveling, going to unusual places, and doing crazy things give us that satisfaction that we will never achieve in sticking with our usual routine. With every place to conquer, we make sure we are geared up. Urbanize is the one-stop shop for us urbanites.

I made a visit at Urbanize, Uptown Mall and by just shopping there made me realize that I wasn’t packing enough for my travels. From luggage down to accessories, they all have it. As an urbanite, I’m the type of person who goes for reliable stuff especially for travels. I’m so happy that Urbanize carries my family’s favorite, Pacsafe ­ ­– these bags are anti-theft that some of my relatives even use it as their every day bag. Definitely bringing my family over so they can hoard and discover more of these essentials especially now that Christmas is near!

You no longer have to shop from one store to another. Here are some of the international brands you’ll find in Urbanize: Pinqponq (backpack and accessories) Focused Space (functional fashion bags) STM (laptop bags and phone accessories) Pacsafe (anti-theft bags and accessories) Sherpani (women’s bags) Allett (world’s thinnest wallets) Kiko (genuine leather wallets) Elecom (mobile accessories) Artiart (suction mags) Hydrapak (collapsible water bottles) Swisstech (key rings) Highroad (car essentials) Mifa (audio essentials)

Can I just share that I’m buying the Hydrapak collapsible water bottle next! They allowed us to try it and my friends really tested it out. One friend of mine dropped it from the second floor and another threw it down the stairs. We were amazed of its no-leak function! You should try it, too!

Urbanize is located at U.P. Town Center, Gateway, Shangri-La, Glorietta3, Uptown BGC, Venice Grand Canal, Kiss & Fly NAIA Terminal 3, Alabang Town Center, The District-Imus, Solenad and Serin - Tagaytay
