springtime.

a little springtime wardrobe inspiration to cheer you up and get you ready for some of this warmer weather-
even here in san francisco!
(all images via my pinterest)

saving up for some goodies, making outfits from my pre-existing closet, and maybe a little mom-and-daughter day in the future...

i moved!
moved in with my bestie- miss mia.
we live in tiniest, cutest, coziest little studio in the middle of all-that-is-fun san francisco!
so that's where i have been.
but hello again, i am back after a few too many 'its been 15 days' texts from my sister in regards to blogging. 
woops. 

hope you are having a great day!

juiced.

it's my new thing, 
along with every other 'new year, new you, wanna be hip, 20 something female' in america.
but it love it and even without a fancy vitamix (ah someday!) 
i have been making the most delicious smoothies and juices.
try these. they are super yummy.

i also love...
kale + blueberry + pineapple + almond milk.
mango + coconut water + pineapple + pomegranate seeds.

mmm, refreshing!

i am hoping to recieve the confirming phone call today saying that i have the cutest little apartment with mewy.

{EDIT: we got the apartment- hooray!!! but we move in next weekend so a little more time to spread out the craziness}

pedi nursing.

my most anticipated college course thus far is finally here.
pediatrics.
i am seriously already in love and i haven't even spent a day in the hospital.
i am sure that you will be hearing lots from me about peds on this fine little embitions 
because it's my dream to work as a nurse in pediatric neurology.
pediatric icu, see you tomorrow.

we walked into orientation and our desks had these little surprises awaiting our arrival
(only in peds would your teacher give you stickers and blowfish toys for painful procedure distraction).
our first assignment was to create an art piece of one of our most vivid childhood memories and explain a bunch of developmental stuff on the back so i decided to paint 
'sunday afternoons comprised of splitting dr. pepper and gardening with dad'.
we studied pediatric med calculations, fluid dosing, and iv administration,
and i decided that even that is cuter when you know its for peds.
plus, i get to wear colored scrubs... omg.

i (heart) pediatric nursing so darn much.

life is good.

i know other bloggers struggle with portraying only the glamorous, cute, frilly side of life
but not me, not today.
i am fortunate.

life is good.
everything is falling into place and i am...

classes are great and challenging,
san francisco is seriously feeling like my second home and i love it,
b is a sweet as can be,
my family is awesome as always,
i need for nothing and want for very little in my spoiled little world,
nursing is the best and being in a neuro icu and pediatrics is even better,
jobs and connections seem to be falling into place,
my nursing girls and college besties are so hilarious and supportive,
and as of this week i may be a new renter in the cutest of city places.

life is good.
so very good.

don't get me wrong, we all have our struggles and down times but today is a happy, happy day.
