A Xiaomi hair straightener power bank is coming
Her GadgetMatch
I need this is in my life
Xiaomi is known for a lot of things: smartphones, TVs, laptops, and even scooters. But, their newest venture is one that will get all the ladies excited.
The brand just announced a new crowdfunding venture on crowdfunding platform YouPin and it's a product that I, myself, am willing to back.
This is a wireless hair straightener that doubles as a power bank. Manufactured by Xiaomi partner Ningbo Yue Li Electric Co., Ltd., the portable gadget is a girl-on-the-go's dream come true.
Yes, that's the straightener in her hands!
The device has a battery capacity of 2500mAh, which should be enough to do a whole head of hair. It also doubles as a smartphone power bank! The thing has two heat options: low at 160 degrees Celsius and high at 200 degrees; plus it has a smart power-off setting that automatically turns it off after 15 minutes, when not in use.
Like most Xiaomi products, it's also priced really well. It retails for only CNY 99 or US$ 15. It starts shipping on April 5.

Today, they are considered one of the top K-Pop groups and are actively promoting in Korea and Japan. This year, they launched their first world tour that include concert dates in the US.

If she weren't a mermaid
Have you ever imagined what Ariel of The Little Mermaid fame would be like in the age of social media? No? Well, we have. She would, first and foremost, not be a sea creature with scales because let's be honest, the internet won't be a thing under the sea.
Ariel is a full-fledged human at the top of her Instagram game in 2019.
She is after all, the girl who has everything — including a major case of FOMO (fear of missing out, for those who live under a rock).
Like any modern woman of today, she's also tech-savvy but having gadgets and gizmos aplenty isn't what makes her happy.
Like most women our age, she longs to be wherever her friends say they are on social media.
Her mantra when traveling is to not leave any side street unexplored.
Unlike cartoon mermaid Ariel, modern woman Ariel ironically daydreams about the beach when she's at work…
… even if she has access to a nice swimming pool because let's be real, there's nothing more relaxing than being at the beach.
She wants to be surrounded by bright young women like her — ready to stand to fight for their rights and freedom!
She uses her privilege to question things both online and offline.
Ariel is an empowered woman who just wants to feel like she belongs in this world.
She's neither little nor a mermaid nor is she someone's princess. She's her own person fully capable of making her own decisions. Unlike cartoon mermaid Ariel, she will not give up her voice for a chance to be with a guy she just met. She'll probably give up a few vacation days at most for a chance to get to know someone she finds promising.
Sure, she's privileged, but she's a strong, independent woman who wants the same fundamental rights as any other human — for herself and for other women — in a world that's systematically oppressive to women. Sure, she has FOMO on Instagram, but her biggest fear is missing out on earning the same set of opportunities that are simply handed over to men.
Modern woman Ariel refuses to be silenced while pursuing her wants and needs, even if the world around her tries to stop her. Even when no man is there to help her.
