Halloween photo dump! (and my first official photo dump ever.) 👻 I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend. I got a TON of requests (but like, actually) for my costume details, so linking literally everything I wore (and some of the things Erik wore) via LIKEtoKNOW.it. Screenshot this photo and head over to the @shop.LTK app OR you can shop all of my looks by following me on the app as well, at @doctordiaries. #LTKHoliday

The coziest backyard vibes around. ✨ ⠀ It’s finally cool enough in Florida to fully enjoy this backyard remodel I did (with a little help from my dad to build industrial curtain rods), back in March. ⠀ I linked most of the items on my LIKEtoKNOW.it page, including the furniture, swinging chair, fire pit, outdoor rug, curtains, bistro lights, and some decor (with a few alternate options). ⠀ You can screen shot the cover photo and follow me on the @liketoknow.it app (@DoctorDiaries) to shop the items for yourself and create your own little oasis. #liketkit http://liketk.it/34BFW
“It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out. It’s the pebble in your shoes.”  While there may be many small things in the way of your dreams, those small hurdles are the easiest to conquer.  Focus on the big picture and don’t let the little obstacles be the reason you don’t accomplish great things.  Happy Monday. 🥰  P.S. a lot of you asked about these shoes so I linked them along with my favorite warm weather essentials. http://liketk.it/30cGP #liketkit @liketoknow.it
As a woman (or man) in medicine it’s important to find a partner who not only supports you, but uplifts you in everything you do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Someone who doesn’t believe in “gender roles” and will help around the house, or with the kids. If you’re both busy, who will find someone to help instead of placing it all on you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Someone who supports your career and your ambitions. Who will cook dinner when you need to work late, or will understand that your patients are important and may sometimes come before they do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Someone who not only has your back, but challenges you and motivates you to be better and to reach higher than you even thought you could. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Someone who puts you on a pedestal for the person you are, and isn’t intimidated by your success. Who is proud to have you by their side. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Someone who helps you communicate better. Who forgives you for occasionally letting your emotions get the best of you and maybe sometimes taking things out on them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Someone who is there for you during the good days, the not so good days, and the really freaking rough days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Someone who loves you no matter what. I hope that’s what you all either already have or find for yourselves. And please, don’t settle for anything less. 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS.

You guys asked for it (so SAVE for later) - HOW I CREATE MY CONTENT: Part 1. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is going to take longer than one post so I’m going to start by talking about the equipment I use to get the shots I want, even when I’m home by myself. The next one will be about the photos I take, and lastly one will be on how I edit my photos. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸 Camera: you don’t have to get the most expensive camera, but if you are serious about taking good photos you should invest in something that’s not your phone. Do some research to decide what kind of camera best suits your needs and your budget. Mine is the Nikon D5600 DSLR. Mirorrless cameras are also a great option. • 🎞 Lenses: to me this is more important than the camera itself. The one I use the most is my Tamron 24-70/2.8. It gives me a wide range of zoom at a constant aperture, which allows me to zoom without changing the exposure. I spent more on this than I did on my camera, but there are plenty of options that will do the trick without breaking the bank. • 🔭 Tripod: this is necessary if you’re going to be trying to get images of yourself when you’re alone, and I also use my tripod for my layout photos (like this one). The tripod I use is a ZOMEi Tripod. It’s a middle size but folds up nicely so I can bring it when Erik and I travel. • 🖱 Remote: Also necessary if you’re going to take photos of yourself, because who wants to set the timer and try to get into a good position for every photo? My camera allows me to flip the screen around so I can aim it at myself and then click away. • 💡 Light: because sometimes the flash on the camera just isn’t enough. I got the Altura AP-UNV2 external flash to add on when I want my photos to be a little extra bight. • 🔋 Extras: buy extra batteries so you don’t ever have to worry about your camera dying on you, and a overlying case to make sure everything it always safe and well protected. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope this was helpful! All of the electronics I used can be found on my Amazon page and I also linked here with my LIKEtoKNOW.it. Stay tuned for more posts with more info! @liketoknow.it #liketkit http://liketk.it/2KPcu 🤗
Sat home all super bowl Sunday studying. Wishing I was still in Colorado, or at the very least wishing I was at the game since IT’S. IN. MIAMI. ☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But I’m not in Colorado. And I didn’t have 5k to drop on a ticket (I mean honestly who does?!). So I made the most out of it and studied with the window open so I at least got to enjoy this perfect FL weather. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Favorite parts of the game were Demi Levato singing the national anthem and gawking over how perfect J-Lo and Shakira were during half time! What was your favorite part about the Super Bowl? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ P.S. to shop my favorite sweater and snow boots (that are BOTH on SALE) download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app and screenshot this photo OR you can shop all of my looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app at @doctordiaries. http://liketk.it/2JSGH #liketkit @liketoknow.it
ITS FINALLY HERE! After two years of people asking me for my makeup routine (yes, people have actually asked me for it and I’m not just saying that) I finally took the time to create my FIRST IGTV video for you all, aside from our wedding video which doesn’t count because I didn’t create that myself. Anywho, the video includes my full, daily, super affordable makeup routine. Also, I linked all of the products to my LIKEtoKNOW.it for you! All that being said, before you watch it please take a few things into account... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1️⃣ If I sound like I’m speaking a mile a minute at any point it’s because I thought IGTV videos were 20 minutes long and not 15 minutes long, so I had to speed the whole thing up to 1.3x to fit it all in there for you guys. But really, no one wants to watch me do my makeup for 20 minutes anyway so it worked out in your favor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2️⃣ English is hard guys and I don’t do well under pressure, so please forgive me if I slip up here and there and say the wrong word. I’m just now getting used to the whole Filming myself for extended periods of time thing and hopefully will get better in the future. Practice makes perfect, right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3️⃣ I’m a little crazy looking when I do my makeup. The only people I usually show this side of me to are my friends, family, and now Erik (lucky him), so this is a no judgement zone, please and thank you. Anyone watching just to leave a negative comment, you are not welcome here so please walk away now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Alright guys, that’s all I got. Leave your (hopefully positive) comments and let me know what you think, AND if you’d like me to create more videos like this in the future (next up, hair tutorial?). P.S. to shop my products, download the @liketoknow.it app and screenshot the photo at the beginning of my video OR by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app at @doctordiaires. Happy Sunday loves! 💕 http://liketk.it/2HDYU #liketkit
Someone once said that you should pack as many outfits as days you’re going to be on a trip x 3, just to be safe. JK, no one said that, but I feel like this is usually how I end up packing for long trips ✈️. Quick weekend trips? Piece of cake; I can map out my outfits for that. But when packing for a two week trip and it’s 50 degrees at night and 80 during the day, not so easy 🤷🏻‍♀️. So here are some of the tips I gave myself and hopefully they will help you when you need them: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧳 Pack at least one of each of what you know you will want, and then extras of things you will wear more often. For example, one pair of jeans, one light/dark pant, two pairs of shorts, half of your trips duration of long sleeves (if cold vaca), ditto for short sleeves, etc. This way you can mix and match and repeat outfits without anyone knowing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👚 Color coordinate. Try to pack similar colors so that the accessories you bring will go with everything. I packed one pair of heels, boots, and sneakers, two belts, purses, and scarves, one denim jacket and two heavier jackets, and I made sure each item goes with basically any of my outfits. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🧺 Do laundry! Look up places on your trip that have a laundry service available and take advantage of it when you can. This way you can pack less and wear more and you don’t have to worry about offending people sitting next to you on your fights. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👋🏼 Leave stuff behind. Intentionally, unintentionally, whatever you prefer. Erik and I are both planning on leaving some shoes behind as a donation, but I already lost a pair of pants somewhere and he left some dress shirts in the closet of the last hotel we stayed at. But either way, this is an guaranteed way of lightening your suitcase and making room for souvenirs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I linked what I could through #liketkit , but for some reason my dress from amazon isn’t linkabke 😂. DM me if you want the info for that. Otherwise you can shop my outfit via @liketoknow.it by downloading the app and screen shorting this photo. Or following me on the app @doctordiaries! http://liketk.it/2Ci0X 💕
I know you guys are all waiting for some wedding photos, buttt seeing as I haven’t gotten them all from our photographers yet, anddd since some of you have been asking me about my rehearsal dinner outfit, I figured I’d just go ahead and link that here in the meantime ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just a little background about my outfit- I knew I wanted a white dress, and I knew I wanted it to showcase these gorgeous shoes that my mom got for me. Normally I do not spend this type of money on items for myself BUT when I tried them on during NY bridal week I just could not resist, and we figured YOGMO (you only get married once), so we went for it. I linked the actual dress that I got (hurry because there are only a few left), AND my shoes (with more adorable alternatives as well). Swipe to see the full look (again). 😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To shop my post, download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app and screenshot this photo OR you can shop all of my looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app at @doctordiaires. http://liketk.it/2AZNa @liketoknow.it #liketkit
Here’s to a year full of new adventures. 🗺 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I wanted my first post of 2019 to not only be a goal for myself, but something I think we can all work on. When I say new adventures, I don’t necessarily mean travel 🛩. Though I definitely want to explore some new places, I hope that 2019 brings more life adventures as well. I’d like to continue putting myself out there and meeting new people 🙋🏻‍♀️. I’d also like to keep building the friendships and relationships I already have. I’d like to explore new hobbies and learn some new skills. I’m excited for the adventure of married life 🥂. I’m looking forward to expanding on previous endeavors and I will be starting some new projects as well ✨. I’m so thankful for all of your support in 2018, and I hope you’ll continue to join me in 2019! Tell me what adventures you’re excited about this year! 💖 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To shop my outfit download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app and screenshot this photo OR you can shop all of my looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app at @doctordiaires. http://liketk.it/2z78v @liketoknow.it #liketkit
What did the salmon say when he ran into a wall? ... Damn! 🐟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ok, I promise this recipe is much better than my corny jokes are. This is my go to recipe for several reasons; it’s super simple to make, considerably healthy, takes about 30 minutes to cook everything, and comes out tasting absolutely delicious. It’s a perfect quick dinner for two at the end of a long work day (or for one with leftovers the following day). If you end up making it, tag me in your photo so I can see it and feature you on my story as well! 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸: I listed my favorite cooking utensils on my @liketoknow.it profile.

“This morning’s sunrise does not define itself by last nights sunset.” 🌅 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As humans, we are constantly faced with new challenges. Whether it’s something related to school, work, or our personal lives, there aren’t many days that we don’t have to overcome at least one obstacle (large or small) 🚧. Most of the time, we have no control over the hardships we face. What we CAN control is how we react to them. Do you let challenges break you down? Or do you fight through them? Do you let them affect the way you feel for a while? Or do you let go quickly? 🤷🏻‍♀️ when it comes down to it, it’s not the obstacles we face that define us, but how we handle them and grow from them. That being said, I hope we can all act like the sun ☀️; if something bothers us today, let’s start off with a beautiful beginning tomorrow. Lastly, I want to give a shout out to my lovely fiancé, without him waking me up and dragging me out of bed at 6 am this photo would not have been possible. #notamorningperson 😴 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To shop my outfit download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app and screenshot this photo OR you can shop all of my looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app at @doctordiaires ✨ http://liketk.it/2x1Qg #liketkit @liketoknow.it
Exercise in the morning, before your brain figures out what you’re doing 🏋🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For the record, I am absolutely not a morning person. Never have been, never will be (#nightowl fo life🦉). During the week I work out immediately after work (if I go home first there is a zero percent chance I make it to the gym). But on the weekends, I like to try to reap the benefits of a morning workout ☀️. What benefits you ask? Well, a.m. workouts have been shown to not only burn more fat (exercising on an empty stomach can burn as much as 20% more fat), it has also been shown to make food less appealing later on 🤐. In addition, exercising in the morning will make you want to be more active (and less lazy) throughout the day. Another benefit associated with exercising in the morning is that you can build muscle more efficiently (due to increased testosterone levels in the a.m.) 💪🏼. Plus you’ll get the benefits of working out in general (deceased blood pressure, decreased risk of diabetes, sleeping better at night, among others). And one last added plus - you’ll have the rest of your day to do whatever you want without the guilt of skipping the gym 😊. When it comes down to it, as long as your are getting it in, a work out is a work out (morning, night, lunch break, or whenever), so let’s all inspire each other to get moving 🏃🏻‍♀️ (and yes, I am officially up to 7 pull-ups!!) 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To shop my outfit download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app and screenshot this photo OR you can shop all of my looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app @doctordiaires 😘 http://liketk.it/2wPNe #liketkit @liketoknow.it
“I’m not telling you it’s going to be easy, I’m telling you it’s going to be worth it” ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lately I have had a lot of people ask me if they should go into medicine. People who have voiced concern about the hardships, the hours, or the lifestyle. People unsure of whether or not medicine would be for them. The answer to that question is not something I can answer for you, but something only you can answer for yourselves. I can tell you that no, it won’t be easy. If it were easy everyone would do it. Yes, it’s going to take a lot of work, and a lot of dedication. You’re going to drink so much caffeine that baristas will know your order by heart. You’re going to miss special occasions with loved ones. You’re going to spend late nights reading until you can’t keep your eyes open anymore. You’re going to wonder what it would be like to be like one of your friends, who already has a job and a normal life. You’re going to wonder how you will ever pay off your loans. You’re going to learn what it feels like to tell someone they have a terminal illness. You’re going to make mistakes. You’re going to question whether or not you made the right decision, multiple times. But after all that wondering, you’re going to graduate medical school, and finish residency, and you’re going to look back and wonder why you ever doubted yourself in the first place. ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To shop my outfit (and other similar items), download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app and screenshot this photo OR you can shop all of my looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app @doctordiaires 👩🏻‍⚕️ http://liketk.it/2wMAk #liketkit @liketoknow.it
This is your friendly humpday reminder that my entire Iceland 🇮🇸, and Greece 🇬🇷 trip overviews are up on the blog. And also that I’ve been working on my San Fran one for months now 😏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sorry guys! I just keep coming up with new blog post ideas and pushing San Fran farther and farther back, but I PROMISE to finish it soon for those of you asking for a good USA 🇺🇸 destination. With that said, I’m also going to finish my Fort Lauderdale Foodie blog post this weekend, AND once I go to Nashville for my bachelorette party 🎉 I will add an overview of that destination as well. I’ve been trying to keep my blog well rounded and realized the travel side has been slacking recently. OOPS! 🤷🏻‍♀️ In the meantime, feel free to reach out directly for any questions or travel recommendations you might have (especially since Erik is in the travel industry and I can just harass him for you if necessary - sorry not sorry @eaiple) 😘 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I linked my outfit (and Erik’s) via the @liketoknow.it app in case you’re going somewhere cold, or just want to start shopping for winter clothes.

Sunsets • Grandma sweaters • Awkward poses • Date nights • Quality time with my fiancé ✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just a few of my favorite things. Im thankful that I’m not in a long distance relationship, but Erik travels for work so he’s sometimes gone for weeks at a time 🛫. When he’s home, we take full advantage of our time together. We motivate each other to work out, try new restaurants, visit the beach, cook dinners, and just hang out on the couch with our cat child 🐈. It’s true that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and when he’s home I really appreciate the time that we spend together. What did you do this weekend? And what are your favorite things to do with your significant other? ❤️ If you’re interested in my outfit, I linked the new version of my grandma sweater (this one is a little old). Also linked my favorite jeans and bag that I use all the time, with more affordable alternatives.

Home is not a place, it’s a feeling. 🏡 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is nothing more important than having a place to go at the end of the day where you can feel safe and relaxed 💆🏻‍♀️. A place where we can put our feet up and unwind. This is my place 💕. A few of you have reached out to me asking where I got some of the things in my home (this rug, my bar shelves, etc), so I figured I would share them with you! 🛍. While most of it was purchased online, some of the things I found at a local @Homegoods (Aka the store that makes you realize all the things you want but don’t need 💸). The only things I was unable to link were the paintings and some pillows (@Zgallerie) and the table and shelves (custom made off @Etsy), but if you’re interested in either you can send me a DM and I’ll give you the links to those as well! 👩🏻‍💻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To find these items, all you have to do is download the LIKEtoKNOW.it app and you can shop this pic via screenshot OR you can instantly shop all of my looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app @doctordiaires 😘 http://liketk.it/2w9Xt #liketkit @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home
This message is ‘sealed’ with a kiss. 💌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes, we do something great. We pass a test, get into the program of our dreams, or just make it through a difficult rotation. Whatever it is, there are people around us who support us, who are there to share the good news with and celebrate with. Sometimes, it is those people that achieve something great, and we get to celebrate them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I want to take a minute to not only acknowledge this amazing man who has stood by my side and supported me (through the good and the bad), but to CONGRATULATE him on another incredible accomplishment in HIS life. He is so hard working, motivated, dedicated, and talented; he deserves all the good that comes his way. I am so excited to continue to watch you grow, and to see what the future has in store for you. I love you ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸: PS. This post was in no way sponsored by @, though I totally wish it was. PPS.

How soon is too soon for a #tbt? 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some other unanswered questions of the universe to consider... 1️⃣ Why are they called apartments when they’re actually together? 🏢 2️⃣ Why does every woman’s mouth open when putting on mascara? 👄 3️⃣ Why do you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway? 🚕 4️⃣ What was the first person to discover milk reallyyy doing with that cow? 🐄 5️⃣ Where do all of the missing socks go? 🧦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸: One question that IS answered, is where you can get my outfit.

It’s ok, guacamole. I’m extra sometimes too 🥑 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope everyone had a wonderful cinco de mayo yesterday filled with margs, music, and guac 🎉. If you didn’t already know, avocados are FRUITS with numerous health benefits. For starters, they contain many vitamins and minerals, including Vitamins K, C, E, B5, B6, Folate, Potassium 💊, and small amounts of Mag, Copper, Iron, Zinc, and Vit A. Hass Avocados contain about 3g of protein, 15-20g of healthy fats, 7g of fiber, and 2 net carbs. They have NO cholesterol or sodium 😱!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Studies have demonstrated that eating avocados can lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglyceride levels, and increase good cholesterol levels (HDL) ⚖️. They also aid with the absorption of other “fat soluble” nutrients; one study showed that adding avocado or avocado oil to your salad or salsa can increase antioxidant absorption by 3-15 times 🙌🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not only do avocados increase antioxidant absorption from other foods, they are high in antioxidants themselves. These include the nutrients Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which are quite important for eye health 👁. In addition, the fats in avocados are resistant to heat-induced oxidation, making avocado oil a healthy and safe choice for high heat cooking 🍳. So how many can we eat? Experts say that if you love your avocados, you can eat them daily (about 1/2 an avocado per day), just don’t go too crazy 😜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸: I would like to shout out my absolute favorite clothing store @etiquetteboutiques for not only giving me the opportunity to WIN tickets to sunfest this weekend, but also having THE BEST clothes available in south Florida (They have an online shop too! Link in bio). While this particular shirt from them is no longer available, I did link a few alternatives on my #liketkit page.

Be good to your skin, you’ll wear it every day for the rest of your life. 🧖🏼‍♀️🥒 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It wasn’t until recently that I started reallyyy taking care of my skin (nothing like turning 29 to make you realize you won’t be youthful forever). Now that I’m almost 30, I’m glad that I started when I did, and I want to share my favorites with you (read ‘til the end for a free gift!) 🎁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1️⃣ Rodan + Fields Redefine Regimen: this has been a godsend. Made by the creators of Proactiv, the redefine regimen decreases the appearance of lines, pores, and loss of firmness 💁🏻‍♀️. I’ve been using it for months (facial cleanser, toner, morning & night creams) and I can’t emphasize enough how happy I am with the product. I have NEVER gotten so many compliments about my skin. And there are different regimens based on your personal skin care needs 💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2️⃣ Artnaturals Serum Trio Set: I believe the basis of a good skin care regimen is a good serum. This set comes with a Retinol (age defying 👶🏻), a Vitamin C (brightening ☀️), and a Hyaluronic Acid serum (moisturizing 💦). I use the retinol one every night under my p.m. cream, and I alternate between the other two under my a.m. cream and makeup. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3️⃣ Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate + Ultra Facial Cream: I use this combo at night every Sunday as an intense hydrating and reparative duo. The serum is a little pricey 💸 but worth it, and the cream helps lock in moisture and repair damage done throughout the week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ All products above are linked in my bio. FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN TRYING AN R+F SKINCARE REGIMEN, follow the link above to find out which regimen is best for your skin type, and I’m going to send a FREE LASH BOOST✨($150 value, and legit the best lash serum on the market) to the first 5 PEOPLE who order a skincare regimen as a PREFERRED CUSTOMER (you’ll also get 10% off and free shipping). ALSO, all regimens come with a free lotion & self tanner until the end of today! ($52 value). DM me with any questions! 😘 http://liketk.it/2vzXp #liketkit @liketoknow.it
