Suggest a good backpack for travel as well as daily use for WOMEN (basically something that is fashionable)
I want to buy a good backpack for myself for daily work and travel use and was thinking of mokobara or nasher miles but it has really mixed reviews. Can anyone tell me a good brand with sturdy, FUNCTIONAL but FASHIONABLE bags, I really want to invest in a good bag atp which would last me good enough but also looks good. My budget is anything around or under 7k

How I built a Year in Pixels mood tracker in Notion — step by step
I've been tracking my mood daily for 3 months in Notion using a Year in Pixels setup. Here's exactly how I built it.
The database
One database called "Mood Log" with four properties:
- Date — one entry per day
- Emotion (Select) — 10 options: Best day ever, Happy, Content, Energetic, Tired, Moody, Sick, Angry, Break down, Sad
- Formula — maps each emotion to a colored circle for the pixel view
- Day (Title) — just the date label
The formula
Each emotion maps to a colored emoji so the gallery view lights up:
if(prop("Emotion") == "✨ Best day ever", "🟡",
if(prop("Emotion") == "😊 Happy", "🟢",
if(prop("Emotion") == "😌 Content", "🔵",
if(prop("Emotion") == "⚡ Energetic", "🟠",
if(prop("Emotion") == "😴 Tired", "⚪",
if(prop("Emotion") == "😒 Moody", "🟤",
if(prop("Emotion") == "🤒 Sick", "🩷",
if(prop("Emotion") == "😤 Angry", "🔴",
if(prop("Emotion") == "💔 Break down", "🟣",
if(prop("Emotion") == "😢 Sad", "⚫", ""))))))))))
The views — this is where it clicks
Same database, three views:
Month in Pixels — gallery view filtered to current month. Each card shows the emotion tag + colored circle. After two weeks you start seeing patterns.
Year in Pixels — gallery view grouped by month. 365 tiny colored cards. This is the payoff view — you can see rough weeks, great streaks, and the exact day things shifted.
Today's Mood — filtered to today. Open, log emotion, done. Under 30 seconds.
The habits layer
I also added a separate "Habits Mini" database — 5 daily checkboxes (Exercise, Gratitude, Journal, Meditate, Read) with a formula that shows a progress bar. After a month I noticed my mood tracks almost perfectly with whether I exercised that day. You don't see that connection without the data.
After 90 days
The patterns you see are wild. Energy dips and bursts. Rough days cluster around weeks I skipped journaling. Sleep under 7 hours almost guarantees a bad mood the next day. None of that is visible day-to-day — only when the pixels accumulate.
What's your Notion tracking setup? Anyone else tracking mood or habits?
