Arianna Huffington has strong roots inside her bamboo-handle purse. “I have a key ring with pictures of my daughters,” says the single mom of Christina, 26, and Isabella, 24. “In my wallet, I keep a Mother’s Day card.” The author, 65, of the how-to book The Sleep Revolution (out now) opens her Gucci tote for Us Weekly.

“I carry Yamamotoyama Genmai tea bags. It’s a green tea with roasted brown rice. It’s great on planes and in my office.”
Smooth Operator
“I always have hand moisturizer by Fresh. When my hands are dry, it’s a terrible feeling. You feel like a scarecrow!”
Cover Story
“The sleep masks they give you on the plane are harsh on the eyes. When I travel, I bring my own. It’s a beautiful pink one by Slip.”

“I listen to meditations on my iPod when I can’t sleep. I even have one recorded by my sister [writer Agapi Stassinopoulos, 57].”
Face Time
“I have oily Greek skin, so I carry powder to pat myself down!”
Double Duty
“I have two phones; I talk on one while looking at stories on the other. I differentiate the phones by the screen savers — each is a different picture of my daughters.”
