Every morning around 8:15 I can be seen standing in a mass of disgruntled commuters about to pack into a dirty bus like sardines in a can. Ah, the joys of public transportation. Although I do prefer to drive, I think it is better for myself (and everyone else on the road) to let someone else take the reigns. I'm sure my blood pressure could use the rest, and riding the bus allows me to people watch, which is one of my favorite activities.

Years of observing people and their habits have led me to find two products that make commuting easier, the first being this Beau Pouch from Shopbop. Perfect for the individual who rummages for change and subsequently spills coffee on themselves, this canvas pouch is the perfect size for change, lip gloss, and keys. At less than $13, this soon-to-be-favorite gets you organized, and less time spent on change recovery means a better chance of grabbing a seat.

If you're ever lucky enough to find a seat, it is most likely covered by someone else's coat, who will then rip it out from underneath your bottom as if you have a secret vendetta against long coats. If only everyone could own a chic jacket like this trench by Juicy Couture. Hitting right below the hips, you don't have to worry about this becoming a seat warmer for the charming individual next to you. No, in this adorable trench you'll be sitting pretty, and enjoying savings of 30%. To add further delight to your mornings, take 3% Cash Back and treat youself to a cab from time to time. Heck, you deserve it.
