There are certain things we always imagined Erica Strange’s purse would contain: wigs for time-travel sleuthing, an Epipen for her hazelnut allergy, a copy of The Secret of Now. But it turns out the real-life Erica, Erin Karpluk, sticks to the necessities. Check out what we found while rifling through her handbag.

The bag

Pen

Heart-shaped compact. “It was a gift when I was on the show Godiva’s in the mid-2000s.”

Keys (to a home, not the future)

Banana Boat sunscreen

Bumble and Bumble hairspray

Skoah hair serum

Skull-embossed makeup bag
