12 things PR women can’t live without
From the essentials in your handbag to the must-haves at your desk, here’s your survival kit.
To help with the demands of the job there are a few essentials that will keep you looking your best and ready for whatever the wonderful world of public relations will throw at you.
Handbag essentials

Having a fully charged phone will mean that you are never out of the loop and clients can always get hold of you. Plus, how else would you get your Instagram fix?
