We think it’s pretty unfair that Mary Poppins gets to float around with her ready-for-anything magic carpet bag while we’ve been digging through an avalanche of receipts from 2018, a half-open bag of fruit snacks, two lip balms missing caps, and a handful of Hot Wheels just to find a pen in our purses. Channel that always prepared energy and reorganize your bag with this list of essentials we rounded up to keep you ready no matter what the day brings!
