I FINALLY graduated nursing school! Yayyyy!! Now that I am officially an RN, let’s talk about some things I need to use on a daily basis. Whether it’s at work or at home, we need to make sure we are taking care of ourselves. We can’t help others unless we make sure our cup is full first! For my seasoned nurses, please comment what YOU need to take care of yourself and help spread the self care love!

As an avid book lover I am super excited to create a list of all of my favorite reads in 2025 so far! I will continue to build on this list throughout the year so don’t forget to check back for more recommendations, and let me know which books YOU are loving this year! I also included some books that I read before 2025, but if a book/series leaves a lasting impression on you, it’s definitely worth mentioning right?

If you know me then you know that one of my favorite things to do is EAT! I’m all about trying new food spots, and there’s an abundance of that in Florida! Lately my friends and I have been on a brunch kick so I did include some of our favorite brunch spots. If you live in Florida and know of some great spots to eat that we have to try, leave a comment!

Toddlers have very short attention spans, and sometimes it’s hard to keep them engaged. Luckily I’ve tried a bunch of toys so that you don’t have to! What’s important to me are toys that are also educational. If not educational, I want toys that are keeping my kiddo active and outdoors!

Being in Florida means always being an hour or two away from a beach! Being able to go to the beach any time of the year is a blessing, and we’ve gotten pretty good at knowing what we need to bring vs what we can leave at home. Lots of beaches require you to walk a good distance from the parking lot to wherever you want to sit so you really only want to bring what is necessary. Also here’s another tip: Get to the beach EARLY and if you can’t, get there an hour or two before sunset. Good luck finding parking midday!

It’s graduation season! I’ve been scouring websites for dresses of my own. I have not picked one out for myself yet but these are the ones I’ve loved so far!

I LOVE wearing makeup, but what I don’t love is spending an arm and a leg for it! I’ve tried lots of makeup that you can find at your local drug store that work great!

I am one month away from graduating! It feels so surreal to almost be done. These are the items I could not have gone through nursing school without!

I had my son in 2023, and these are some items I could not live without!

One of the reasons I love Florida is that there is always something to do no matter the time of the year! I grew up in Washington state, so it is a stark contrast between not being able to go outside most days (unless you wanted to be soaked in rain) to being able to enjoy the sunshine almost year round. One of the cities that I love the most is Arcadia. It is a small town with so much culture! But here is a list of places to see and things to do all across southwest floridav
