The basics
THE SOFEST BLANKET- i use the lil marsh(5foot2in) and it covers me perfectly. There is a larger size which I will also link for those that could use some extra length
Lil’ Marsh Blanket
OBSESSED with this brand. I have this pillow in the smaller size and use it all the time. Its a nice comfort to have in the call rooms.
Squish Pillow
Must have for when you're trying to sleep during the day and don't have blackout curtains. Also use at night to really calm down my brain
Sleep Mask
The BEST face mask that makes your skin feel younger and brighter. Must have in your overnigth bag.
Fask Mask
You NEED a toiletry bag for those 24 hours shift. This one is simple, well made, and packs easily. Plus it comes in several colors
Toiletry Bag
The hospital always leaves you dehydrated, so this is the elctrolyte mix I always carry in my bag
Electrolyte Mix
You can trust me when I say you or a co-resident will at some point(or on a daily) complain of a headache or aches. This pill organizer is small and compact, easy to throw in your bag.
Pill Organizer
The continuous struggle of work vs health. When I am on a string of nights I always keep these in my call room and sneak in a little arm workout. Something is better than nothing
Dumbbell 5lbs
Ok ok I bought these bangles and actually love them. Whenever I'm feeling sluggish I through these on for work. Taking them off at the end of the shift is the best feeling-my legs feel stronger and lighter lol I've tried other ankle weight but think ...
Bala Bangles
Ok this is a really cute print option for a travel bag! Received as a gift and I absolutely love it.
Travel Cosmetics Bag
Here is the larger size! These blankets have stayed soft for me over the years. Def better than the scratchy blanks at the hospital
Marshmallow Blanket
Best way to get through night shift is having little treats-and one of the best ones is changing your underwear. It makes you feel a little more refreshed! I love these from Amazon, super soft and no show.
Ladies Underwear
You know I barely have time to cook my own meals or prepare snacks. Love that these meals are premade and all I have to do is reheat. They leave me perfectly satisfied, not too full or too hungry afterwards.
