As a full-time fitness instructor and lifestyle blogger , my schedule differs by the day. But there’s one thing that’s always true: I survive on the contents of my handbag. Truly.

I’m often running—quite literally—from one studio to the next or from meeting to meeting, and as a result, my everyday tote has become a bag of mixed tricks. (On any given day, I’ll stow clean clothes, healthy snacks, and electronics in it, to name a few of my necessities.) Regardless of what your days look like, making it through another one is always a victory. To help you out, I’m here to spill the deets (and the contents) on the everyday essentials that keep me going.

StarKist Tuna Creations Sweet & Spicy Pouch Hangry isn’t a good look on this girl, which is why I stockpile affordable, protein-packed snacks. Lately I’ve been craving this sweet-and-spicy combo, a simple, nutritious way to replenish my energy (and my muscles) when I’m on the go. Bonus: Buy in bulk and you can find them for less than a dollar. $23.76 for 24, amazon.com

Cuyana Classic Leather Tote This bag is gorgeous—but, more important, it’s roomy enough to hold it all. $175, cuyana.com

Philosophy Amazing Grace Fragrance Rollerball This is the grab-and-go version of my favorite scent. It’s light, feminine, and lingers all day. $20, sephora.com

Glossier Boy Brow If I were stranded on a desert island with one beauty item, this brow filler would be it. It thickens and grooms with a single sweep. $16, glossier.com

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo OK, I lied. I need two beauty products on that desert island—and this is the second. It absorbs sweat and oil and doesn’t leave residue. And it smells good, too! $12, sephora.com

Happy Plugs Earbuds These stylish earbuds have a built-in mic so you can take a meeting on your walk to the gym. (I won’t tell your boss!) $24.99, amazon.com

S’well Stainless Steel Water Bottle Staying hydrated never looked so chic! Plus, this bottle is insulated, so it will keep your drink cool for up to 24 hours—just what you need after an afternoon of hot yoga. From $25, swell.com

Sephora Collection Beaded Hair Ties These sweep back flyaways just like your drugstore hair ties, but they look a little more stylish on your wrist. $9 for 3, sephora.com

Chi Air Quest Classic Tourmaline Ceramic Cordless Hairstyling Iron Ideal for post-shower maintenance, this battery-powered iron comes with a heat-resistant pouch so you can toss it in your bag after you straighten and be on your way. $99.99, target.com

Ray-Ban Aviator Small Sunglasses Always in heavy rotation, these classic sunnies make me feel pulled together when I’m running out the door. $135, amazon.com

Lululemon Savasna Socks I love my Mantra leg warmers from Lulu, but the style is discontinued. Don’t worry though! These over-the-knee socks are just as good at keeping you warm on your walk home. $48, lululemon.com

Bareminerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Cream Gel A hybrid of BB and CC creams plus tinted moisturizer, this mineral foundation also has SPF 30. Bonus: It’s water-based, so it won’t clog your pores when you sweat. $26.95, amazon.com

Nars Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil I’m addicted to these lip pencils, which glide on like a luxe balm but have the staying power of a liner. They make my lips look fuller and offer the perfect amount of post-class color. $27, sephora.com

Not pictured but still essential:

Outdoor Voices Two-Tone Warmup Leggings I spend at least six days a week in heart-pumping, high-intensity workouts, which means I always need a clean pair of leggings on hand to change into. I love the colorblocked panels and the hidden pocket on these. $95, outdoorvoices.com

Tangle Teezer This fits in the palm of your hand and removes knots and tangles from wet or dry hair with minimal breakage. $15.99, amazon.com

Todd Snyder x Champion Boyfriend Sweatshirt I found this lightweight pullover from Todd Snyder x Champion in my never-ending quest for the perfect piece to wear over my workout gear. $128, bandier.com
