Tech Picks
Tools that make my job easier.
I take social content at a lot of events, including some that include loud musical performances, crowd noise, etc. These earplugs have three settings with gradual noise cancellation, so I can tune in for conversations and protect my hearing for long ...
Loop Switch 2 Earplugs
This easily removable magsafe piece sticks on the back of my phone and provides an easel stand or filming tripod any time, anywhere.
Snap Phone Tripod Stand MOVAS™
The ease of use on this mic setup is honestly wild - I can't believe how crisp the vocal audio is, and they're truly plug-and-play. The whole setup is about the size of a tin of Altoid mints, and they're a staple in my bag at all times now.
ECOMXIA 2 Pcs Wireless Lavalier Microphone
Would it even be a social media tech roundup without a DJI gimbal? This one is my pic (great panning and crowd shots).
DJI OM 5 Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer
The noise cancellation settings turn anywhere into a great place to edit.
AirPods Pro 2
Organization, etc.
These items keep me on top of everything, from filming schedules to keeping track of my keys.
This is the Ludicrously Capacious Bag that Tom Wambsgans warned you about. It has seemingly endless room for everything, including a padded laptop slot, an Owala-sized *internal* water bottle pouch and several mesh and phone-shaped pockets for all of...
Poppy & Peonies Commuter Backpack
It's roughly the size of a laptop, and it holds my whole world. The best part of this planner is the extra inserts you can slip in to better organize your week, project manage, etc.
Laurel Denise Planner
For situations where I need both hands fully engaged, these scrunchies make sure I don't lose or drop important things, like keys or a touchless key fob.
Velvet Hidden Zipper Pocket Scrunchies
Okay, so this tiny sticky ball in a little plastic case will pick up *everything* inside your bag. Crumbs, fluff, whatever. And the best part? You clean it by opening up the shell and washing the sticky ball with dish soap in the sink. It gets comple...
Sauberkugel - The Clean Ball
I waffled between a huge zip wallet and a card holder for months before finding this beauty. The wristlet strap is so much handier than I expected!
Leather-effect Zip Wallet
Self-Care Musts
How I take care of myself and remain nimble, even when I’m crazy busy.
This is a super quick (and let's be real, dairy-free) way to get protein and vitamins when I don't have a ton of time on my hands. Also, this isn't medical advice, but when I told my doctor I used these, he high-fived me.
Orgain Plant-Based Protein Shake
When I skip a day, I definitely notice a difference in my hair and nails, so I try to have a packet handy for my morning coffee. The individual packets can be a little harder to find, but the convenience is worth it.
Vital Proteins Collagen Peptide Packets
As a die-hard Diet Coke girlie, I am terrible at remembering to drink water, but the Freesip straw/swig combo is easy on the go. Plus, it fits perfectly in the Commuter backpack on the list.
32 oz. FreeSip® Water Bottle
I started using this stuff for my daily flossing and got major compliments from my dentist on the lack of tartar and debris on my teeth at my last appointment. 10/10, recommend.
Cocofloss
If I’m taking my work from day to night, there’s probably going to be a Releasing of the Ponytail, which means freshening up with dry shampoo is a must. This stuff is light, tough on oil and smells incredible.
Serene Scalp Dry Shampoo Powder
No joke, I always have a tea bag in my purse just in case I come across some hot water and need a moment of zen.
