Sorry I have been MIA a bit lately, but it is for good reason...two words, Step 1. If you are a medical student, you have either already taken it or are dreading the day. If you are not a medical student, Step 1 is our first medical licensing exam. Allopathic students take the USMLE and osteopathic students can take just the COMLEX or both. I am scheduled to take both in June. I will do another post explaining why I chose to take both in the future :-) We finished our semester last week and began our dedicated study period. It is really nice to not have to worry about classwork, but one week in and I already want to cry! Real talk, studying this much just really is the worst. But it will be
If you know me, you know I am having a rough week if I have any form of a chip in my nail polish. Growing up, my mom always made sure our nails were either clean and polish free or had zero chips. If we tried to leave the house with ratchet nails, we were handed a bottle of polish remover! It sounds so silly, but I do think you can tell a lot about someone just by looking at their hands!

This is not your mama's white Zinfandel! There is a wide variety of rosés available from different regions, different varietals, and varied winemaking processes. When I choose a rosé, I tend to go for the ones that are more of a salm
I did it! I said 'YES' to the dress!...within 24 hours of saying 'YES' to Bax! Yep, you read that right. I went and bought my dress the very next day. I still can't believe I did it, but I have zero regrets :-) I have always dreamed about my perfect wedding day, but never knew what kind of dress I wanted. I think I have watched every episode of "Say Yes to the Dress" on TLC, and I just love so many things about so many different styles. I honestly thought I would never be able to choose the perfect dress. The day before we got engaged, my friend Molly and I were walking around Chicago, doing a little shopping, and passed Dimitra's Bridal Boutique. I jokingly turned to Molly and said "let's g
