Listen to me: straws and construction dust do not mix. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I learned the hard way that you need a bottle with a fully covered mouthpiece. This keeps my water ice cold during long, hot days on site, and I don't have to worry about drinking literal dirt...

Finding women's workwear that is actually comfortable and allows you to move around a site is so hard. These are thick enough to hold up to the elements and protect your legs, but they actually stretch. I basically live in these.

Safety, but make it slightly cute. These are incredibly durable, they pass the safety checks, and most importantly, they don't completely destroy my feet after walking around a site for hours. A total non-negotiable.

Since my car is basically my mobile office, things can get chaotic fast. This straps right into the passenger seat and holds my clipboards, Remarkable, pens, and all the random site paperwork so it isn't just flying around my cab.

I absolutely cannot do my job without this. I use it constantly on-site for marking up maps and taking notes during walks. It feels exactly like writing on paper, but it saves me from carrying around a massive, disorganized clipboard that's inevitabl...

If you are going to bring a reMarkable out into the field, you absolutely need a case that can take a beating. This one holds the pen securely so I don't lose it in the dirt, and the old-school composition notebook design gives me major nostalgia. Fo...

Okay, standard safety glasses are usually hideous, so these are the ultimate upgrade. They look like stylish, trendy clear frames, but they are ANSI-certified, have the protective side shields, and are totally anti-fog. You don't have to completely s...

If you are doing early morning site walks in the freezing cold, you need this. It has a rechargeable battery and literally heats up like an electric blanket under your high-vis or jacket. It is the only way I survive winter out in the field without f...

Between the site dust, handling plans, and the cold weather, your hands will get completely wrecked. This stuff is heavy-duty but doesn't leave you feeling greasy, so you can actually still use your phone or tablet right after putting it on.

Hard hat hair is a very real, very tragic thing. This is the only dry shampoo that actually cleans my hair and gives it some volume back after wearing PPE on-site all morning. A mandatory staple that lives in my center console.

Iโ€™m picky about hoodies, and these are the only ones that actually live up to the hype. They have a premium weight to them that feels high-end but can still handle the chaos of a construction site. Perfect for when you want to feel cozy while managin...

It is so hard to find safety gear that doesn't make you look like you're wearing a costume. These are legit ASTM-rated steel toes, so they pass inspection every time, but the dusty rose leather actually has some personality. I'm obsessed with the Wel...
