Editor's P/S:

I found Holly Robinson Peete's interview about the contents of her Hermès bag to be a fascinating glimpse into the life of a busy celebrity. It was interesting to learn that she always carries her hot sauce with her, as well as her SAG membership card, a scented candle, a Broadway playbill, and her medication for overactive bladder. It's clear that Peete is a practical woman who values her time and her health.

I was also impressed by Peete's love for her children. She still carries a Christmas card from 2008 that features her kids as young children. It's a sweet reminder that even though her children are now adults, she still cherishes the memories of their childhood.
