PreMed Wears Pearls

  I am currently in the process of applying to medical school, and that means you could get invited for an interview. I wanted to share how I have been prepping because it can be a daunting task!   Because I am prepping for medical school interviews, I will be using that as my examples/guidance for this post, but I believe these steps are completely applicable to any kind of interview you will have such as  jobs, graduate schools, scholarships, etc! So anywhere I have school or student written, you can easily replace it with company or employee. Shirt (c/o) | Jeans | Desk It is hard to know where to start when prepping for an interview. I think it is best to start with the type of interview you will have. For instance, a medical school interview can be one of many types including a traditional style interview, a multiple mini interview, a group activity interview, really anything a school wants to do to assess their candidates. After you know the type of interview,...

  I cannot believe it is back to school time, already. It is also very strange that I am not going back to school this year...As I assume that most people are starting back up on Zoom University (or have mostly online classes) this fall, I have put together some of my best tips that will ensure a successful semester. I mostly geared these toward college/graduate/professional students, but hope I can appeal to all ages and maybe even you guys in the working world!

This is something easy you can do to make sure you do not miss any information about the courses you are taking, and updates from school, in general. Be ready for anything as 2020 has become the year of the unexpected, and getting in the habit of frequently checking your email will keep you in the loop.  2. Don't forget to Network. It may be easy to think that you do not need to go to office hours or make a...

Working/studying from home might be the new normal for now. I have always thought that having a space that makes you happy is very important for productivity and attentiveness. I know that when I worked at the clinic, I brought some things in to make my desk a bit more, well comfortable and homey. There's no time like the present to spruce up your home work space, even it is just a table against the wall in an odd place in your home! I think we will be at this longer than we know, so might as well get comfy. Here's a fun mood board I put together for your inspiration!   Art print   |   Note pad  |   Sticky notes   |   Pen jar   |   Organization tray  |   Ginger jar   Trinket box   |   Storage bin   |   Desk I really think you can do this on a budget, too. I found lots of goodies here from Target that ship! You can also look around your home and see what you ca...

I am not a beauty guru, haha. But, I do like make-up and skin care things, and love trying new to me brands. Way back in the beginning of March, I popped into the city to visit the Glossier Flagship store. I had been eyeing some things I wanted to try, but didn't want to order online for my first go. [For the record, what finally sucked me into the Glossier world was the constant Instagram ads I was getting 😂!] Ok, first off, the flagship store is SO aesthetically pleasing, no wonder all the trendy IG gals flock there. I knew I really wanted to try the Boy Brow, but had no clue what shade to get, same for the Cloud Paint. After testing them and chatting with one of the showroom girls, I went for this set - it has Boy Brow, Cloud Paint, and the Lash Slick (mascara) for a bundled price! I really recommend the sets if you are new to the brand! I have been reaching for these three products most during quarantine. Wearing them makes me feel more like myself, and put together, an...

To be honest, most days I get up, and decide which Dudley Stephens fleece I want to wear. But, I am feel more inspired to actually get dressed each day because I really feel more myself when I do. I am also getting more inspired about clothes as we inch are way towards warmer weather, and my favorite: summer!  If you are worried about not being comfy in your getting dress for work from home, I have the best solution: an effortless, chic but still comfy maxi dress! I know I have given that piece of advice before, but it is really a good one. This is a new dress from Gal Meets Glam - it's called the Rosie, so I had to take some photos in it by the pretty flowers! It meets all of my long, chic, comfy dress requirements: being flowy, somewhat fitted, and the feeling like you can wear it all day. I would say it is a perfect dress to elevate your work from home look. Gal Meets Glam really does the effortless, chic maxi dress well, and a lot of my favorite dresses are from GMG! No su...

I am still not sure what day it is, but I am sure that this quarantine time has led us to make some delicious dinners! We have been cooking about every few days, and make enough to have leftovers for a couple of days after. This cuts down some stress about cooking in this already stressful time. The dinners we crave are warm, healthy-ish, comfort foods. And that's exactly what we have gone for! I am sharing the recipes we have made so far. We have loved them all! [we've also made all of these in the instant pot, and this is the one we have.] Breakfast recipe of my own creation: sautéed mushrooms and spinach + scrambled egg whites topped with avocado+everything but the bagel seasoning and salsa! I have also been more lenient about dessert every night, lol, and really want to give a shout out to my favorite/the BEST gluten free cookie dough: Sweet Loren's. I have tried many a pre-made GF cookie dough, and these are the winners!!! Detox Moroccan Lentil Soup I ...
