Calling all the ladies! This one is for you. Carnival is back and so are fanny packs!

Gone are the days when you could tuck a tube of lip gloss in the bra of your Carnival costume. As the tops have turned to wire, fanny packs have (thankfully) come back in style.

This is not your granny’s fanny pack, this is a svelte, sequined gift from the gods, with Carnival sexiness written all over it. So now that you have the option to wear fanny packs in public again, we’re here to tell you what to put in yours.

Be warned–though they’re sexy, they’re also smaller than you recall. Space is coveted so we only take what we absolutely need!

1. Lip Gloss. Not every make-up item needs to brave the elements on your waist, but lip gloss definitely warrants the space. After all you do on the road, your lips deserve some love at the rest stop.

2. Wet Wipes: Wet wipes are the thing you always need but never have. Don’t let this reality hit you mid-road.

3. Cash: As strong independent women reminiscent of the Campari brand, ladies know that anything can happen. That means, our ‘get vex money’ must be on hand! Stranded? Want to get out of there? Girl, you’ve got yourself covered.

4. Phone: Of course! Don’t forget to charge up and take your portable chargers!

5. Mints: Your body might be sweating but your breath will stay fresh all Carnival day!
