medical tidbits //
- Bruxism: excessive teeth grinding or clinching. Botox is a form of treatment that can help with that!
- Speaking of botox, it can also help with certain urinary complaints, like interstitial cystitis and overactive bladder incontinence. It involves using a small scope, and injecting 100-200 units into the bladder in 1 ml portions.
- And since we're on the botox topic, botox can also be used to treat torticollis. Botox: not just for your laugh lines!
I've got my eye on... //
- Everlane's newest tote - the red version is giving me major Mansur Gavriel vibes (the tote I always wanted but never actually went after).
- A possible contender for my rehearsal dinner dress. I love the florals and the neckline!
- A new pair of clogs for work (in watercolor patent). I can't do the original Dansko clogs, so I'm looking for something with a little more arch support!
on the internet //
- I thought Allie's post about botox was really interesting. I personally have zero issues with Botox (and have been getting botox every 9 months or so for several years), but I found her thought process interesting and think she looks great either way!
- As a girl with a mostly neutral closet, Audrey's tips for incorporating a bit of color into my wardrobe is necessary.
- How long does it take for your skincare routine to work?
ask me anything //
- I remember a while ago you posted about compression socks for work. What brand do you use? I am looking for a pair or two!
- I wear these Sockwell socks. I now have like 9 pairs of them, and I wear them to work every. single. day. It's the only reason I'm able to be on my feet for so long! I wash mine in the washing machine, but air dry them so that the elastic doesn't wear out.
- Do you tweeze/shape your eyebrows or is your shape natural? My eyebrows are blonde but thicker/denser than yours, and I have always been afraid of ruining their shape by tweezing.
- I used to get them threaded about every two months for probably 6 years. When we moved for residency, I moved too far away to see the lady I was seeing throughout medical school, and I didn't really want to find someone knew, so now I just let them be, and tweeze stray hairs here and there!
- I've been searching for months now and can't find what I'm looking for, so tell me, is there a thing that exists that is more structured than a cardigan but not a blazer?
- Yes! What you are missing is a ponte or knit blazer. It has the structure of a blazer, which adds a bit more ...well, structure! But when it's made in a knit or ponte fabric, rather than the traditional wool, it's as comfortable as a cardigan. Old Navy always has several styles of this type of blazer (here in black). Topshop has this amazing boucle blazer that I'm now adding to my cart because I love it. It's the perfect mix of structure and comfy that I think you're looking for!
quick sales to mention //
- Old Navy's 35% off everything: I just placed an order! I ordered a new pair of workout pants (they are my favorite brand for workout gear, and basically all I wear!), a new sportsbra, and this amazing striped dress that I really hope works on me!
this week I... //
- Did not go down to Florida as originally planned. My best friend and I planned a little three day trip down to the Florida Keys. I rearranged a bunch of my schedule so that we could make it happen. Unfortunately, my flight was cancelled and couldn't find a new one that worked for our tight timeline, after she had already been down there for 12 hours! We were both super bummed that it didn't work out, and that she had to spend the weekend alone. My take away: never flying Jet Blue again, and never flying on a trip separately!
- Decided that next week, I'm going to restart BBG - the first round of BBG is 12 weeks, which makes the last week of the program the week of my wedding. Anyone want to join in on the fun? I'm already forcing my sister to do it "with" me even though we live in different time zones. I love spinning, but I need some weights to tone up these arms!
- Start L&D days again - it's been a few months since I was on the day shift! This is my last time on L&D days as an intern, which is hard to believe we're already nearing that point! Excited to be a part of the crazy again!
