Clouds clouds

-

 Hi everyone!

I created this blog to share some of my daily life and give you some advice on small ways to lead a healthy life. I am a board-certified Family Medicine physician currently taking a break from work. 

As you can probably gather from the name of my blog, I will write about the good and the bad that is life. I grew up thinking if you had any cloudy days, then you were doing something wrong and you needed to fix it ASAP. As I've gotten older and (somewhat) wiser, I'm learning to appreciate the cloudy days as well the sunshine filled days.

I am currently in the middle of a cloudy week. I accidentally sliced my finger on a broken wine glass and am suffering from traveler's diarrhea. Womp womp. I feel awful. No energy. No motivation. And to top it off, Comed was doing some grid updating and left me without electricity for a whole hour this morning, right in the middle of a great movie.

I got my finger stitched up and go back in 1 week to get them out. I got my rehydration fluid and my Pepto Bismal in, so just resting and waiting to recover. 

I long for the sun! I know it's behind the clouds there somewhere. Hope you're able to feel the sun's warmth even when you can't see it.


Let me know in the comments section some topics you would like to learn more about.

Teacher's appreciation month

 Hello hello! While teacher's appreciation week passed, I feel like teachers need a whole month! The patience, the understanding, the loving...and all towards kids that are not yours! They shape the future minds.  We are on the final countdown to the end of the school year! We.feel.like.zombies. That final stretch towards the end of the year is so painful. But shopping for a cause can make it bearable. You will most likely be collecting $ for or getting your teachers an end of the year gift, so let me help you make it extra special. (And order it on time so you're not rushing) Check out these monogrammed bags I scored for my daughters' teachers from Amazon.  Link below: Click here to order the best teacher's gift ever I stuffed them with gift cards, flowers, candy, and other fun goodies. They are the perfect size to carry a bunch of stuff, from notebooks, laptops, water bottles and they look adorable!.

My skin-care routine

-
Ahh beautiful skin. We all love it. We all want it. But how to achieve it?  You don't need to spend a lot of $$ to have great skin. Let me walk you through my simplified routine. Yes there are a lot of extras out there, but if you get these basics down, you should see improvement soon! Disclaimer: not all skins are the same, and hence not everything will work for everyone. I strongly recommend a visit to your friendly dermatologist to A. get an annual overall skin check for skin cancer, and B. target any problem areas you may have. I had acne even as an adult. Morning routine: 1. I do not cleanse my skin in the morning with a cleanser as this made it more dry. If you have super oily skin, go ahead and use  Cerave Foaming Facial cleanser . I usually just let water run over my face during my shower in the mornings. I definitely use it at night. 2. I apply a few drops of Vitamin C serum. There are a lot of Vitamin C serums out there. I used to use SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF brand, but
