I love Saturdays because it's the one day of the week with no expectations! You can dress the way YOU want, and be free and relax! This saturday I wanted to dress casual, but still done up a little, so I combined my graphic tee and pencil skirt! T-shirts and graphic tees are perfect for dressing down your pencil skirt (like a mullet outfit... business down below, and chillin' up top!)

To keep the look even more casual, I threw my jean jacket around my waist and tossed on my Adidas Superstars (this shoe seems to scream "effort-full" casual LOL)

Hey Guys,
It's been a while since I posted about my journey to medical school, so I thought I would update and fill you in!

A couple of weeks ago, at the end of April I sat for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) for the very first time and boy was I nervous. I've been planning to take this exam since my freshman year of college and I always put it off because I didn't ever really feel prepared. The MCAT is a major component of your Medical School Application and I always had a fear it would make or break my application. If you know from reading my Pre-Med story, I struggled in my physical sciences in undergrad (biology, chemistry and physics) and the MCAT was basically all physical sciences until 2015 when they added a psychology and sociology section. Many of my peers felt rushed to take the old MCAT before the changes occurred and I did too, but as a double major in psychology and biology, I'm glad I waited. To be honest, the new changes were necessary and I have no idea why psychology and sociology weren't on an exam for future physicians in the first place when psychological and social situations are MAJOR influencers on health!

I originally prepared a MCAT study plan that would consist of 5-6 months of studying, but unfortunately life just gets in the way of our plans sometimes... I did spend 4-5 months studying and was able to take 6 practice Full Length Exams instead of the 10 I was planning. I honestly wish I was able to strictly stick to my study schedule, but I don't think I was ever going to feel completely prepared for it and it was time to put doubt aside and take the test!

Full Length Exams and the Section Bank and Question Packs from the AAMC are the best way to prepare for the exam. Content Review will only take you so far and you'll never know if you're absorbing all that content if you don't test yourself!

Before the test, I took 3/6 Full Lengths under complete testing conditions, in which I woke up at 6:30, ate breakfast, and started my exam at 8:00am like I would be doing on test day! I made sure to find my test center the weekend before my test, and watched the Prometric Test Center video on the AAMC website, so nothing on test day would be a surprise. )They actually fingerprint and wand you each time you leave the test room and for some odd reason the computer always had issues with my fingerprint! I was like "I swear it's me!" LOL)

In the end, I felt like my exam was more difficult than any of my practice material, but that could have been the nerves of test day...now that it's over, it's been the 30 day wait for the results that makes me anxious, so I'm trying to stay busy to keep my mind off it!

Happy First Day of May!
Metallic Shoes are a major trend for spring! They seem to add glam to what was before a simple outfit. I have actually been searching for metallic oxfords for the past 2 springs seasons and could never find exactly what I was looking for or find ones I liked in my price range. Lucky me, I finally discovered these beauties from JustFab.com and amazingly the come in both silver and rose gold! I practiced complete self-control and only bought the silver pair, but my birthday is coming up in two-weeks so...

There are so many ideas I have to style these shoes! In today's post I really wanted to keep the outfit classic and simple to have the shoes stand out (honestly no matter the outfit, they'll always stand out!). I paired my blue and white striped button down from Ann Taylor LOFT with a faux leather skater skirt and made the silver oxfords my center piece!

Happy Friday!
It's Good Friday so I had the day off and I thought why not do a fun DIY project for Easter?!

I love Bunny Ears, and they're pretty easy to find this time of year (with Easter and all!) but they all look the same, so I decided to spruce them up a bit by combining them with the ever popular head accessory of the spring: Flower Crowns!



These floral bunny ears are so easy to make, and it cost me less than $5 to make 6 of them because I purchased all my supplies from my local Dollar Tree!

What you'll need:



-Headbands (I bought a 6 pack of colored Headbands from the dollar store)

- White or your choice of color Piper Cleaners

- Artificial Flowers (how cool would it be to have real flowers?!)

-Glue Gun and Glue-sticks


Step  1: Fold Piper Cleaners in half to form a "triangle", then twist bottoms and form "Bunny Ears"







Step 2: Glue "Bunny Ears" to the Headband



Step 3: Glue Flowers in your choice of Arrangement to the Headband





 Quick and simple in 3 Easy steps! Hope you all try out this fun little DIY!

I wore them to work the next day and got so many compliments! I loved telling people that I made them myself!




Have a great Easter filled with Happiness, Joy and Gloss!
