Really craving all the comfort foods lately! I don't know if it's because of the cold weather we've been experiencing here in South Carolina, or if it's because of all the crazy that's been happening in our world. But when things get crazy around me, gimme all the comfort food! Whatever the case, I have [...]
I think it only prudent to take some time to reflect on the events of last year and what I've learned from them. Most years, annual reflections seem a bit hokey to me. However, because of how challenging 2020 proved to be for many of us, I think a bit of mindful reflection is long [...]
As many of you know, the COVID-19 vaccine is a novel vaccine. NOVEL as in ground-breaking, innovative, pioneering, new. Never in the history of vaccines have we as a world been able to pull off such a tremendous outpouring of scientific research, clinical trials, and production in such a limited amount of time. But when [...]
What's all the hype about Vitamin C serum? This past year, the beauty industry blew up about Vitamin C serum and for good reason. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that has the ability to neutralize free radicals. Many of us know about vitamin C, because it's why our parents told you to eat citrus [...]
Admittedly, this is a very difficult post for me to write. Why? Because it means that I didn't follow-through on some of last year's goals/resolutions. However, I'm choosing not to see this as a failure but as a new challenge. Your ability to complete or accomplish your goals is not a determinant of your worth. [...]
This winter I've been loving my crockpot! The ease of being able to throw a bunch of ingredients into a pot and wait for the goodness to ensue, it's pure magic. And this White Chicken Chili is no exception! Creamy, spicy, and fresh, this chili is sure to be a hit with even the pickiest [...]
I've got a secret to share with you guys! The past few months have been a whirlwind muddled with tears, frustration, joy, and expectation. As many of you already know, my first job out of PA school was in the Emergency Department. I accepted a position in an ER residnecy/fellowship that allowed me to deepen [...]
Rounding up a few of my favorite items from the past year... Not strictly fashion or food-related but just a few of my favorite purchases from 2020. This year I invested in more self-care items in addition to Amazon deals/dupes. This was not the year to buy pretty party dresses rather tie dye sweatshirts and [...]
I typically long for December, but truthfully this month was a lot harder than I expected or anticipated. This month, I started a new job with Hospital Medicine. I worked nights for the first time, since I was a scribe prior to PA school. I didn't get to attend any Christmas Eve or Christmas Day [...]
Nothing about this year has been "normal"! So it's no wonder if you've found yourself saying nothing about this Christmas season is normal either. But just because things aren't like years past, doesn't mean that you can't find joy in this Christmas season. I know for me, I'll be working nights for the first time [...]
