Jennifer Carpenter has a Tupperware container of vegetable soup, Invisalign trays and three highlighters in her leather Tumi rucksack. “Someone told me your brain remembers things in yellow,” explains the star of CBS’ FBI drama Limitless, whose finale airs on Tuesday, April 26, at 10 p.m. The mom of Isaac, 11 months, with rocker fiancé Seth Avett, 35, shares more.
Flip Your Lid
“My son gets bored of toys very quickly, so I keep my bag stocked with coffee lids. He loves to explore them, turn them over a thousand times and chew on them. I recycle when I’m done!”
Pretty Plastic
“I’ve had a Barneys gift card for three years. I think the gift card itself is so nice that I don’t want to spend it!”
Concession Stand
“If I’m going to the movies, I’ll have SkinnyPop popcorn. I want to bring sushi, but I think it’s rude to the people around me.”
Mind Games
“I’m obsessed with the New York Times crossword. [Costar] Jake McDorman and I do those on set. They’re great at making you feel insecure about what you don’t know.”
On the Contrary
“A fortune cookie paper in my wallet reads: ‘The limit to your ability is where you place it.’ How funny that now I’m on a show with this title!”
