Hi!

So I’m not supposed to have any polish on my nails at all but I couldn’t help myself with my birthday coming up and I start school next week. I wanted to de-stress.

Basically, I’m in a graduate medical program and that’s why I can’t/shouldn’t have polish. However, I tried to get the most natural look color to not bring any attention to them.

The first two photos are my before, inspo pictures, and then after ☺️

Thank you so much for anyone who reads this and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Edit- hi everyone! I’m in didactic year of school and won’t be seeing patients. It’s just for my birthday. I don’t think I’ll be getting a fill in about 3 weeks to a month bc I’ll be studying. I won’t be using/doing hard gel on my natural nails once I’m in clinical year!!!

Edit#2- I went to a nail salon. I’m not too sure what shade she used bc I asked her to do something close to the natural shade of my nails. I can call the shop to ask as well too!

Edit#3- the shade is DND# 891 Rosy Pink!

Hi!

Felt cute but unfortunately this outfit is for waiting at the DMV. I wanted to share though. I haven’t worn this romper in a good amount of time and today will be 90+ degrees.

Anyways, thank you for anyone who reads this and have an amazing day 🙂

Hi!

So l go on and off getting my nails done because every time I feel like I get my nails done (hard or soft gel) nail beds always are bending, weak and easily chip.

I always work to grow out my nails and leave them be and then they feel so strong and then I wanna get color on them and have them last a good amount of time and they become so brittle.

I'm feeling as if this is maybe due to the e-file and I was curious if I can get builder gel done without the e-file and how that would affect the manicure longevity.

The photos are inspo and the last two photos are my nails currently! Plus, I'm one week out from my birthday!!! My nails grow pretty slow without vitamins.

I wanna go for a more natural look bc I'm in school and they wont allow me to do brighter colors lol.

Thank you for anyone who responds and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Edit- Had to repost bc Reddit wasn’t showing all my photos.

Hi!

Last night I made pot roast for the very first time. These are just three different plates from the people who ate it (couldn’t decide what was best).

It’s kinda hard to see as well but there is celery and onions inside too but they became pretty translucent.

Anyways, thoughts? I tried to make the presentation look the best, but some people drowned their food more in the broth (juices???) more than others.

Thank you for anyone who responds and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Edit- I added the broccolini in bc I wanted to add back a health factor. So it wasn’t slow cooked in the crock pot. They were just grilled on the side and salted & peppered. Not traditional but yeah 😃

Hi!

I was a little stressed out during shark week. I was going to light this then but forgot to. Also, would have been perfect bc recently where I live a shark was captured on camera jumping behind a child on a surfboard. The child wasn’t harmed though!!!

Scent profile: it’s a lighter scent. Definitely more sweet than salty in my opinion. You DEFINITELY smell the sunscreen and the cream.

Definitely smells like a good smelling person at the beach. Also, the wick is cotton btw but since it’s so light I like it on the warmer more! I love the color cold and warm!!!

Stay safe out at the beaches yall!!!

Hi!

My bf and I had an itch because it was cooler today and was craving egg noodles and I made chicken noodle soup. I garnished with baby dill. Plus we needed to cook some chicken we’ve had in the freezer.

The upper right is some extra chicken I grilled for tomorrow’s dinner (kinda meal prepping) that was just a crunch piece.

I know I posted last with the heart bowls but I just love them so much.

Thoughts?

Hi!

So I made Carnitas yesterday and then broiled them in the oven after. Was wondering what I should do. Tacos, enchiladas, burrito? I’ve never made them before and it took some time and I didn’t think I was going to be able to get the meat so tender.

Thoughts?

Anyways, thank you for anyone who responds and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Edit- Yes I made these with no big plan bc I was just craving the meat. I’m sorry lol

Hi!

Been trying to find a food sub and to also make my plates more aesthetically pleasing. I should have gotten a photo of the yolk when I opened it. I’m sorry about that ☹️. Thoughts?

The sauce is a homemade Katsu sauce and I added sesame seeds on top. We wanted to try an alternative panko bread crumb recipe tonight 🙂

Hi!

I just moved out and have been buying bedding for different seasons. These are just sheets and duvets but not even my blankets (I have them stored somewhere else lol).

I have different themes and ideas for different seasons. I kinda want to add something else on my bed with the green. Something to make it more summery. Idk why but I got this idea of having my bed look like a summer camp or log cabin type of thing.

Anyways, I just wanted to share! Thank you for anyone who reads this and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Hi!

I been wanting to share this candle recently but every time I go to post I strangely wake up the next day on the ground with a terrible headache…

Anyways, the cold scent or whatever it’s called smells so good and when it gets lit it smells so much more soothing.

Just wanted to share this candle I got from Etsy. Shop name: TeresaLynns

Thank for anyone who reads this 🤍

Edit- it’s a joke btw I’m not leaving candles on over night. Plus I make sure to never keep a candle lit more than 3 hours for the longevity of the candle 🤍

Hi!

I'm going on out today with my boyfriend tonight.
We supposed to go to a popular downtown area with a beach and go out to eat and walk around.
I think he's wearing a black shirt or white shirt and jeans combo. I want to look good, but tonight (even at 5/6pm) will be 90 degrees all the way to 12am being 74 degrees still.

So I'm trying to find an outfit that fits. I have different shoes and accessories for each outfit but I'm trying to find what fits. I know I get cold inside restaurants and I hate sitting outside usually too. #3 is a romper btw. I was thinking of putting sheer tights on for some?

Any suggestions are helpful 🙂

Yes, I will iron out or steam out any wrinkles.

Thank you for anyone who reads this and sorry for any grammar mistakes!!!

Edit- I wore number three!!! I still got cold though inside the restaurant bc I’m anemic 😭. Number 8 is my favorite dress that I have. I try not to wear it too often (like I used to even casually wear to the grocery store I didn’t think people saw it more formal lol), but maybe I’ll wear it again soon 🖤.

Hi!

I just wanted to share since I finally moved out of my parent’s place my candles bin. I’ve been buying candles all over since 2023 since I knew I might not have enough money to splurge on them once I start my master’s program.

I’m so excited because I kinda forgot what I’ve bought over the years and I can’t wait to light them.

I couldn’t light them at home as my mom only likes the leaves candle really from BBW and has a sensitive nose.

I bought from typical stores but mostly from Etsy and made custom candles. My bf is currently making our candles cabinet and I can’t way to try (very loosely using the word try) to organize them ☺️.

The movers stated it probably weighs between 150-170lbs so I think I’m set for two years hopefully lol.
