I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends! I stuffed myself with so many desserts I'm practically a walking bakery! Anyways, this is the first time I've had an extended break without school or work since summer! I didn't realize it was a full two weeks of relaxation... I've been mentally exhausted this month and I'm slowly recharging. For...

November started off with heavy downpour but it was definitely nice waking up to the sound of rain! Do you guys like the rain? Cars driving on wet asphalt, rain hitting the windowpane, taking out the umbrella and layering! What's not to love? One place I really want to visit in the future is Paris, of course. Being able to see all the...

My alma mater, the University of California, Irvine. These pictures were taken some time ago in front of the parking lot near PSLH. I had discussion in this ivy lined building but I can't recall the name! With the toasty weather in California, we don't exactly experience the full 4 seasons. Yet this is one of the few places that shows drastic seasonal changes...

My pharmaceutical rotations have come to an end 😭 For those of you who are reading my blog for the first time, my first 2 APPE rotations of P4 year were at Allergan and Pfizer. I intentionally planned these industry blocks as early as possible so I could obtain letter of recommendations for fellowship applications next month. My upcoming rotation, Block 3, will...

There's something about a simple gold necklace that can elevate even my most basic outfit. Whether I'm in a rush to school or in need of something to complete my work wear, I tend to gravitate towards simple pieces. I received this dainty engraved gold disc necklace from Sincerely Silver and I must admit I've already worn it on numerous occasions. Besides customized engravings,...

I can't believe I'm done with 1/7 blocks of my P4 year! This break will actually be my last one for the remainder of the academic year! Sure, there's winter break but that's when Midyear and potential interviews hit 🙏💪!  I'm both excited and scared for the entire PPS process - more on this soon! It was nice to debunk without any looming...

Black. White. Navy Blue. Brown. Those are the predominating colors in the workforce. Professional? Yes. But, don't you get tired of having such a depressing looking closet? Sure, I love wearing all black ... But if I have to be around the same people in an enclosed capacity for extended periods of time, I'd like some variation - in color AND style. Or...

Rotations > School? YES! Although the didactic curriculum I received at UCSD was top tier, P4 year is dedicated to applying that knowledge to my industry/clinical clerkships. The ability to integrate what I've retained from school to on-going projects really brings everything to perspective. I cannot believe I'm almost done with my six week rotation in Clinical Development at Allergan. I'll post more...

I have exactly one week left of school for the rest of my life! Grad school/pharmacy school is reaching it's end way too fast. I can vividly recall walking onto campus for the first time... I was wearing a pant suit for interviews and running on adrenaline since I was up at 5AM (cue nostalgia and moody music). 3 years later, I'm wrapping...

Every girl needs a cape... in my opinion. I've been in possession of this cape for quite some time yet I haven't had the opportunity to wear it. Capes are the epitome of class, sophistication and femininity. They're versatile but the only place I haven't been able to wear them is school. Pretty ironic since this was taken at my undergraduate alma mater - University of...

It sure has been a long time since my last post but school has been consuming the bulk of my time. This is my last quarter in a classroom and to be honest, it's surreal. I've spent the better part of my life as a student so it'll be bittersweet when it comes to an end this June. Sure, I'm only at school...

Have you ever been in a situation where you fell in love with a dress but it just looked terrible once you put it on? The whole "It looks so much better on the mannequin or hanger." Maybe it was too short, too big or too tight on you. Well, PIOL solves this dilemma. They say you shouldn't judge a book by it's...

Here is my rendition of a classic black and white look with a pop of color! I recently found this ruffled top in the back of my closet - I honestly didn't even know I had this! To make this outfit a tad bit playful, I paired it with my leopard, calf hair Mary Janes from Pelle Moda. Anyways, the wind typically flattens...

I'm finally done with all my midterms - I wanted to have a new post up much earlier but I've been catching up on much needed sleep! After a brutal week of exams, I hopped into my car and blasted to Los Angeles in the rain to finalize some business details. I don't exactly know my way around LA so I used Siri...

I've received a delightful number of responses from my mentor-mentee application as well as personal emails! I really appreciate all of those who follow/read my posts and to all my new readers, welcome 👋 ! Please keep your questions coming - it really helps me develop pharmacy content for my blog! ...
