🩺 Emergency Medicine + Aesthetics... How?!

Many are curious as to how these two worlds can collide. 💉👩🏻‍⚕️ I’ve had enough of you slide into my DMs, sharing your interest in the field that I figured it deserved some space on my feed!

Truth is, I believe we all can follow our passions even if that means intersecting or blending different careers.

I am still full time in the Emergency Department.
Remember... Emergency Medicine life can be flexible 🙏🏻 and full time may not mean 40 hours every week. That’s all dependent on where you work!

If you’re looking to branch into the aesthetic industry from your current medical field, I recommend:

1️⃣ Find a mentor in the field. When you approach them, bring something (an idea or offer) to the table. Ex: in exchange for you helping me learn, I will help build your marketing or social media campaigns, etc.
There are some injectors that have created training academies also.

2️⃣ Go back to the basics. Facial anatomy is not something I used regularly in the ED. I spent hours in the books and with learning modules to make sure that became second nature for safety reasons.
I like Palette Resources and Patreon- my faves are @jubilant.julie and @naturally_rana

3️⃣ Put in the time. Learning the technique is one thing, but there is so much more to perfecting the craft. Spend time practicing facial assessments and plans, sign up for webinars, trainings, and cadaver courses. Learn the properties of each product so you know what to use, where, and in which patients.

4️⃣ Stay true to yourself! If you hear an opportunity knocking, maybe just open the door. Even if it’s scary. Baby steps especially if you’re busy AF in a career that you need to pay your mortgage. You don’t have to quit one job for another. There are ways to live your dream, it may just take a little longer than you’d like!

I feel like it’s becoming more common to mix a variety of things we are passionate about (AKA have more than one job 🙊).

Do any of you work in two different industries? Or have questions about mixing medical specialties? Save/Share, drop a little 💉💉

True Life: Napa Trip Planning, sassy Frenchie edition🍷

We are quite the pair this afternoon 😳

Not gonna lie... I become obsessive over every detail when I know we have a trip coming up!

1️⃣ I start with a map, and familiarizing myself with the area.

2️⃣ Then I do a day of deep dives into a variety of blogs (bloggers have the best recs IMO!!).

3️⃣ Lastly, I check out reviews. But honestly, I don’t trust reviews as much without knowing how reputable the source is. I look more for patterns than anything.

Can’t wait to share our Napa itinerary with you all! For now, you can check out all of your recommendations compiled on my stories 😘

Do you love to plan your vacations in detail? Or prefer spontaneity?

Can you drink TOO much water?! We al

Can you drink TOO much water?!

We all know drinking water is important. But while hydration is vital to a healthy body, consuming excess water can be counterproductive!

Drinking too much water can lead to:
💧 Imbalanced electrolyte levels (low sodium especially)
💧 Swelling from water retention
💧 Muscle cramps
💧 Headaches

In extreme situations, water intoxication is even possible, but this usually requires an adult to consume 3-4 liters of water very quickly. Anyone remember that water drinking contest on the radio that lead to a death?! 👩🏻‍⚕️

Instead of over-hydrating your body, focus on these hydration tips:
💦 Drinking ½ your body weight (pounds) in ounces daily
💦 Increase your water intake when active or sweating
💦 Add electrolytes or sea salt to your water for better absorption

If you’re regularly active or an athlete, it's especially important to pay attention to your hydration levels and water intake. I recommend working with a health professional to make sure you’re staying well hydrated without overdoing it and keeping the right balance.

Sanitization Routine🧼🚿 I never

Sanitization Routine🧼🚿

I never thought we’d have a home sanitization routine, but I also never thought Chris and I would be on the frontlines in a pandemic either 🤷🏻‍♀️
We shall adapt and overcome! #DovePartner

Life on the frontlines can be dirty and tough. It’s nice to come home and wash away the day. We definitely don’t need any extra stress when it comes to carrying germs around our house. I look forward to the moment where I can let it all go and start fresh!

Here’s my post-shift routine:
1️⃣ Leave work bag outside of the house
2️⃣ Shoes always stay outdoors
3️⃣ Enter in laundry room door and scrubs immediately go into the washer
4️⃣ Wipe down lunch box, water bottle, watch, and phone
5️⃣ Into the shower with new @Dove and @dovemencare antibacterial body wash!

With all the hand washing and sanitizing happening, we are happy to use a body wash that keeps our skin moisturized, while eliminating bacteria. So excited to work with @dove and share their new antibacterial body washes, available now @Walmart. They are sulfate and paraben-free, PLUS they offer a men’s line!
#DoveCare&Protect #DMCSkinDefense

Do you have a sanitation process when you come home??

I take my coffee ______.☕️☕️☕️☕️

You can tell a lot about a person based on how they take their coffee 👍🏼

For me... it’s coffee + almond milk but it has to be FROTHED TO PERFECTION 😍

I tried to make my own nut milk, and went through countless brands until I found the one that works best for our frother.

And because I honestly think my coffee photos get the most buzz and questions, you can click the link in my bio for all the deets!

Tell me how you take your coffee 🔽
