This Friday… is Black (cue the holiday tunes)

WHO IS EXCITED???!!!! This girl sure is! I am pretty much obsessed with shopping. I may not be a fashion blogger, but I LOVE sharing my outfits and style with you guys! When I was in school for a billion years, I wasn’t able to buy anything nice, or expensive. Only recently have I upped the ante with my shopping excursions and man it feels good!! This is the first year (legit, since before I started college), that I feel prepared and ahead of the game! Now that I am done with training, I have a little more…

Do you like to organize? ⁣
⁣
I was NEVER the type of girl who actually carried out the big goals I had for organizing my life at home. ⁣
⁣
I would dream up this beautiful kitchen or pantry and find what I thought I needed, but never actually commit to the purchase or time it took to complete the project. ⁣
⁣
I’d like to say it’s because I wasn’t in my forever home.😂 That’s probably just an excuse. But now... I have been SO motivated to organize organize organize, and make things pretty and presentable in our new home. ⁣
⁣
My plan still lacked a little bit of reality when I ended up in the container store and had no measurements or real idea of what it was I should be buying. But in a few months I finally emptied all of my random packages of baking goods into these containers complete with fancy custom labels. ⁣
⁣
Not gonna lie... I put it off because I didn’t want to take off the stickers that are always SO hard to peel off. Goodbye precious gel manicure 👋🏼👋🏼 but I bribed Chris into helping me and we did it 🙌🏼 ⁣
⁣
Albeit a small success for some who have the beautiful entirely organized pantry... but it’s a start! ⁣
⁣
Honestly this project was super affordable and less intimidating once I got started. If I can do it... so can you 👍🏼⁣
I linked these containers and labels for you on @liketoknow.it but they’re also on my blog under Instagram.⁣
⁣
So be honest with me... do you have an organized home? ⁣
Or maybe big dreams to organize but you don’t want to peel off all those container stickers, like me? 😂 ...

This doc’s opinion on blue light blockers 👀👓⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve been wearing these babies for about 6 months now. ⁣⁣
I am fairly compliant although I will say that I forget them from time to time when I am tornado-ing out the door to work 🌪⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I purchased them mostly to wear in the few hours before bed, because studies have shown that they can improve sleep and mood if they’re worn within 3 hours of sleep onset. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There are many claims that they also reduce eye strain in people who use a computer or other technology throughout the day. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Verdict: I love them! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I am not easily swayed, and I was skeptical but I swear these help with that foggy, groggy feeling that I have when I’m using them while working long hours and charting. I’m prone to migraines and I seriously noticed less frequent headaches when wearing these. I also feel like I am able to go to sleep easier and more immediately after turning off my technology before bed. Because let’s be honest... I am occasionally watching tv or on my phone before bed. It is what it is 🤷🏻‍♀️ ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Bonus to these specs- they’re fashion friendly, and remind me of my pre-LASIK self 😆 This brand is my fave @warbyparker and I linked this exact pair with some other pretty styles on @liketoknow.it and the blog. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Do you wear blue light blockers? Thoughts?? ...

Will you accept this rose? 🌹⁣
⁣
I don’t know about you, but the Bachelor has had me sucked in for years. ⁣
⁣
Something about the romance, drama, and people inspired by love putting themselves out there that just makes me wanna grab some wine and a bucket of popcorn 🍷🍿 ⁣
⁣
Chris and I are rooting for Peter, but TBH I think he needs to give Hannah a call and leave the rest of the ladies in the sunset. 🛩✈️🛫⁣
⁣
This got us to talking about relationships and dating. It seems like dating these days is so different! Swipe, swipe, swipe, ghost. What is up with that anyways!?⁣
⁣
Chris online dated for years before he met me. And you know where that got him? A heaping pile of 💩💩 on his doorstep. ⁣
⁣
No, for real. ⁣
⁣
Did you know you can actually PAY to send someone poop on their doorstep!? And in the middle of the package there’s an envelope 😂 I wonder if anyone is curious enough to actually go in and get it. ⁣
⁣
Anyways, I digress. ⁣
⁣
I met Chris before I had the chance to set up my online dating profile. I’m not complaining 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I’m curious to know....⁣
⁣
⁣
For those of you in the dating scene- are you a fan of app dating? ⁣
Did any of you meet your significant other online? ...

Is your relationship working for you? ⁣
⁣
I bet that one made you stop and think for a minute. ⁣
⁣
Good! ⁣
⁣
I’ve watched a couple of friends go through break ups lately and as much as they suck, they are both definitely doing the right thing. ⁣
⁣
I thought to myself, I’m just so proud of them for doing what they KNOW is right, in their guts, and not sticking around with insecurity knowing full well they deserve better. ⁣
⁣
I gotta be honest, people stay in relationships for way too long sometimes. I was one of them, believe it or not! I was the person that was too scared to start over, speak my mind, so I stayed for a lot longer than I should have, based on my gut feelings. ⁣
⁣
I almost missed my opportunity with this guy! My true soulmate. ⁣
⁣
So for those of you reading this and thinking, “I don’t know why I came across this post but I needed it”, just know you’re not alone and we all go through hard times in relationships. But there is SO much beauty to be had on the other side, if this one isn’t the right one for you 😘 ...

Do you remember what it was like, leaving home? ⁣
⁣
I left home when I graduated high school in 2004, and I never moved back. ⁣
College, medical school, and residency took me across the country and back a few times, so I became used to being away from my family. ⁣
⁣
It’s funny how as a kid I was so ready to leave ✌🏼✌🏼 but now I’m longing to have more time with them. ⁣
⁣
I wouldn’t change anything in my past, because it’s led me to my present, but I do wish my family lived closer! Lucky for me, I now have the time to give back and schedule more trips with them, to make up for all the lost time in school and training. ⁣
⁣
The Majestic’s are HERE and I’m trying to make it as relaxing as possible for them in our new home. I’m talking sit down, don’t do a thing, I’ll bring you a glass of wine and you just enjoy the pool views, relaxing 😍 😍 😍 ⁣
⁣
My parents used to send me care packages, help me with groceries or rent, and when I came home I didn’t lift a finger, I just got to rest and recover from my long days of work and studying. ⁣ ⁣
It’s so fulfilling to finally be able to give back to the parents who made my life so much easier when I was going through those tough times of med school and residency. ⁣
⁣
Next up on the agenda- learning a few more things about their new iPhones (we gifted them for Christmas so we can FaceTime), a little shopping, and Disneyland tomorrow!! ⁣
⁣
Have you all noticed how much you appreciate family at this point in life? ⁣
Have you moved away for school or a job? ⁣

Can’t stop, won’t stop. My porch will never go un-styled!⁣
🍷🥂⁣
⁣
Continuing with the Target obsession, I got this door mat for only $12.99! ⁣
As far as door mats go, I have always gravitated towards a humorous, entertaining phrase over our initials or something super classy 😂 ⁣
⁣
I totally believe that you can make your home look well put together, but add flairs of personality throughout (even if it seems a little cheesy or doesn’t fit in perfectly with the rest of the home). After all, you want your space to be about you and what makes YOU feel good, not just what looks good to society or in a magazine 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣
⁣
Found a few cute accents to our decor this week and will be sharing on my stories today😘 Also linked on @liketoknow.it and the blog. ⁣

Are you liking the home decor posts? ⁣
What else are you wanting to see??⁣ ...

Shopping on a budget? 🛍🛍⁣
⁣
I got you! ⁣
⁣
Target was pretty much the only store I purchased clothing from when I was a student. And even today... every time I go in there it’s like a bottomless pit of things I need that I didn’t know I needed! ⁣
⁣
Had a little fun in the dressing room and wanted to share for those of you that love Target as much as I do 😘 ⁣
⁣
All of these finds are linked on my @liketoknow.it or you can find them on my blog under Shop my Instagram ❤️⁣

Which look is your fave? 1️⃣—>7️⃣ ...

You can’t buy happiness but you can buy handbags, and that’s kind of the same thing 👜👛⁣
⁣
Giving you a peek into my everyday bag- both the one I use for work AND my go-to bag when I’m not at work😍⁣
⁣
And all the goods in my bag that I use daily are up on the blog at DrMajestic.com! ⁣
⁣
Not gonna lie... I’m more of a BIG bag girl, because you just never know what you might need and I like to be prepared 🙌🏼⁣
⁣
Ladies- what kinda handbag suits you? ⁣
Favor the large and in charge? ⁣
Or the cute mini bag that fits minimal goods? ⁣ ...

Date night special 💕 .
.
.
Chris and I had a super exciting meeting yesterday so we decided to top it off with 🥂Happy Hour!

One of our goals in 2020 was to go on more happy hour dates. Not always for the drinks or food, but because it helps us connect and come up with great ideas when we don’t have the distractions at home.
We like to be a little old school and bring a notepad and pen to write things down instead of being on our devices the whole time.
Having a side hustle outside of work has really proven therapeutic for me. I don’t think it’s necessary for everyone, unless it’s something you’re really passionate about, but if you have the itch you should GO FOR IT!
This month on the blog I’ll be posting about how to get started if you are interested in being more involved in social media including tips and tricks, where to start, how to build your brand, and when/how to monetize.
Instagram and my blog has turned into a bit of a second job for me, but I love it and I am so pumped to explore new endeavors with all of you this year! ———————————————————————— Do you have a side hustle? ...
