Daily work commutes can be long, tedious and absolutely draining if you don’t have the right commute essentials. Some blogs might advise you to bring pink lipstick while others may vouch for a pen and journal, but after personally commuting six hours every day for five months straight, I’d advise you to leave your lipsticks and journals at home.
Yup, you read that right — six hours. Round-trip, every day. I know you must be thinking I’m crazy, but honestly the craziness that comes along with a lengthy commute is entirely minimized with these commute essentials. To keep it practical, let’s start with the basics: wallet, phone and keys. For your wallet, if you’ve been carrying around your favorite Marc Jacobs Continental, equipping you with 15 card slots and a huge coin pouch that’s been so packed that it’s been distorting the shape of your wallet, it’s time to slim down. Card holders and mini wallets are definitely the way to go for long-distance commutes.
