[title]The Fab Five of Netflix’s Queer Eye are always on the go, and always in style. So we had to ask: What’s in your bag? Antoni, Jonathan, Karamo, Tan and Bobby each told us the bags they cart around the city, and the self-care items—from favorite scents to must-have snacks and gadgets—they never leave home without. These are their essentials. Maybe, just maybe, if you buy Jonathan’s favorite hair oil, your mane will look as fabulous as his. Read more tips from the guys on wellness, overcoming obstacles and the nipple cream you should use as lip gloss in our full Summer of Loving yourself feature. And if you want to take your zen even further, visit one of the best wellness centers in NYC, the best spas in NYC or break out of your habits and try a weird fitness class. Everybody say love!
