\"Shift<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We work some crazy hours and it’s nice to have a few tools which make our commute a legit experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three items we recommend all shift workers need when traveling from point A to point B is:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BEAST Stainless Steel Insulated Tumbler from Amazon.com\"Opens<\/a><\/strong>
You do not need to keep buying takeaway cups every time you have a coffee. Do your thing for the environment, as most of these cups ARE NOT recyclable and go straight into landfill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thermos Stainless Steel Compact Bottle\"Opens<\/a> from Amazon.com. <\/strong>
It’s an utter pain in the butt having a drink bottle that leaks. This thermos is perfect for those shift workers<\/a> who have a desk job and would prefer to poor quality coffee from home rather than the instant stuff they provide at work. Plus, this is how we transport soup without spilling a drop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infusion Pro Water Infuser \"Opens<\/a>from Amazon.com.\u00a0<\/strong>
As much as we want to drink caffeine ALL DAY LONG, it’s not really sustainable for our long to term health or when trying to sleep. So drinking water, infused with fruit, can make staying hydrated during a shift an easy, refreshing task. \"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

BEAST Tumbler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why do you even need a tumbler?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We enjoy starting our day with a cup of tea and I’m sure you want to start yours with a coffee. But we can’t wait till we get to work. We want it during our commute so we’re ready to rock and roll when arriving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other reason is, we are sick of throwing away paper cups into landfill. This is totally avoidable, as most coffee shops will fill up your tumbler or take away mug, instead of using their cups. Us shift workers have the opportunity to do something for the environment and it’s super easy.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tumbler we recommend for shift workers is the BEAST tumbler<\/a> (click to see via Amazon.com).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is perfect for keeping our drinks hot and water super cold for an entire shift. Even when working 12 hours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes in two different sizes, the 20 oz and the 30 oz. We opted for the larger one so we could take it away when traveling and for longer 12-hour shifts<\/a>. Both sizes fit snug into most car cup holders too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we love about the BEAST tumbler in comparison to some others out there are three main things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Dishwasher safe<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. All Greens Steel Products come with a lifetime guarantee<\/strong> which is basically unheard of anywhere else. If you’re not 100% satisfied, get your money back.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. It comes with extras<\/strong>. x2 different sized straws varying in shape. (Smaller diameter straw for water and ice tea and a large one for smoothies). You also get a straw cleaner, cleaning instructions for the lid and beautiful, professional packaging if you wanted to give it as a gift. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The only thing we aren’t 100% sold on is the lid. Despite being sturdy, it’s only spill proof and not leak proof. We knew this before we purchase and in no way has it been a problem, it just makes it less versatile. You are fine with it sitting in your car cup holder, but don’t think about throwing it in your bag anytime soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In saying that, here are four other reasons we love the BEAST:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
