With the carnival season fast approaching, we want to ensure that revellers are ready for the road, from fitness to protecting their personal items on the Carnival in Jamaica Road March.

For this, Kandi King, the uber-talented carnival enthusiast, Karnival by Kandi Kween and head of marketing for the Xodus band, has some tips to share about what to stuff your fanny pack with.

“[We want our girlies to be] prepared for anything and ... have a good time while you are jumping. Just in case you are wondering what to take in that stylish fanny pack of yours while on the road on Carnival Sunday, I am here to guide you just a little bit,” said King.

Here are some essential items that you need to take with you in your fanny pack as a hottie this road march day.

1. Your cellphone – “Because, duh! Gotta capture the moments and stay connected.”

2. Karnival by Kandi Knipsies – “Always looking out for the girlies on the road! These come in clutch for quick fixes and avoiding any unexpected nip slips.”

3. A little cash – “Because you never know when you’ll need it – whether for a quick snack, a cab, or tipping a helpful hand.”

4. Lip gloss – “Hydrated lips are a must! Lips must be popping.”

5. Hand fan – “This is a lifesaver for the girlies. It keeps your make-up flawless, your edges laid, and your vibes high while jumping.”

6. Sunglasses – “These are perfect for serving looks, plus, the only thing that should be shady on the road is your sunglasses!”
