Taking stock: Corantine 2020

Hey lovelies!
Happy Easter 🤗

How crazy is it that the first quarter of 2020 is already done? 🤯 It was just last year that I was counting down to this year and now it's flying past. So while we all have time to read/write I thought I'd do a quick reflection of how I'm doing at the end of it and start this next one on the right foot.😅 Here we go:

Making: So much progress with my studying.
Come on productivity!🥳💃🏾

Cooking/Baking: Pancakes and dessert french toast bc dessert and breakfast foods are my absolute favourites! 😍🤤Did you get the chance to snag the recipe yet?

Drinking: Water, the answer is always going to be water. 😂

Craving: Outside 😭 and I know everyone knows what I mean when I say that.😅 I've been making a list of everywhere I want to go eat once they open outside again cause oomf shaded me about being indecisive.🤣

Bc it's been way too long since I did one of these and I love how I can get you up to speed real quick with them. Here we go:

Making: So much progress with my studying. I actually posted a video on my YouTube channel about how to study effectively this week.

Cooking/Baking: Banana pancakes and dessert french toast bc breakfast foods are my absolute favourites! Recipe anyone?

Drinking: Water (as per usual) and Loads of coffee bc it's that time again. 

Craving: I was craving donuts this morning but then I stuffed my face with them and I don't think I'll be doing that again in the next few days😷 (maybe in two😅)

While I was away: How to Study Effectively, Picmonic & almost at 20K!

Happy February lovelies!

I know I haven't checked in in a while, but I have a vlog showing all that I was up to in December coming up soon! Thank you for all the love while I was away though!! We're almost at 20K can you believe it?! I think this calls for another GIVEAWAY! I've definitely been brainstorming and I've got a couple of things up my sleeve. So can we get to 20K? What would you like to receive?

Most of my January was taken up by trying to do as much studying as I could. #MedSchoolProblems 

And Picmonic has been an incredible tool that's helped me stay on track and learn so much during that time. I was originally supposed to resume lectures on the 8th, but due to a cholera outbreak in Zambia all schools from primary through to tertiary level had an extended vacation and I'm only officially starting back up on Tuesday (so the med school vlogs and the hectic schedule will be back in full swing). Wish me luck!

A couple of weeks ago, I took a poll on my instagram stories (follow me there to catch up with me on a daily basis) asking if anyone wanted to see how I study effectively and got a lot of positive feedback. So I decided to film this little video to help whoever might need it. 

Do you want to know the best way to study and memorize things effectively in medical school? Then watch to see my tips, tricks, apps and all the resources I use to achieve the best results.

Resources mentioned:
Picmonic medical app
Medical Dictionary
British National Formulary (BNF)
Highlighters

Bisous!

Taking Stock: Autumn/Winter 2017

My levels of slacking are unacceptable, I know.

Hopefully this will catch you up with all that's been going on in my life and keep you busy long enough to forget I was gone for so long. lol

Making: Progress with my Goals. Finally started my YouTube channel after
procrastinating for so long.

Cooking/Baking: Pinterest inspired recipes like that Butter Chicken I was craving

Drinking: Water (do I need to put that there any more? or can we assume that it's my staple now?) and Ginger and honey tea (for a change) 

Craving: A gourmet milkshake from the cake bar!

Happy New Year!

I know I'm a little late to the party..lol..a month late.
I'm doing that thing again..*face palm*
You know, where I plan to get a bomb post out for you all, start up on it and leave it half way through..
..because you know, school. And cause I'll get back to it as soon as I can but then I look at the calendar and  we're at the end of January 😢.

Forgive me?

Yes?

Awesome!

So where do I begin. So much has happened with me over the last few months so I'll get you up to speed with a taking stock post.

Taking Stock; Spring 2016

Happy Sunday!!

This is the part where we pretend I wasn't awol for a month and skip right back into loving each other. Yes? Sounds like a plan *cheesing* 

I'm sorry I was away. *covers face* Remember that time I was excited about med school? Well......that happened. *insert dancing emoji* So I'm out here trying to live my best life and stay afloat. Thank you for being so patient with me while I settled. I promise I've got it together now *winks*

Anywho...it's that time of the year again!! (well technically this was meant for last month but pshhh, we'll pretend you didn't notice) Did you sit down and do yours?

That New New thing

Happy FriYay!!

And a happy new month to all of you! *insert heart eyed emoji here*

There are so many reasons I'm excited about this new month. I've been waiting for it all year for starters, and there are so many things going on that I'll get to sharing with you soon. I just felt that i should share with you my excitement about this New month. Have I said New enough times now?  No? Good, cause I was just getting started. Haha!

Come on now! Those words are true and faithful! In the same way that the coming of the New Jerusalem is spoken about, I feel like God is starting something New in my life. And mannnn, does it feel awesome!

Taking stock Autumn 2016

Hello lovelies!

Source

*shocked face emoji* Is it seriously April already? I feel like I only just put up that Hello March picture a few days ago. Where's the time flying to you guys? *sigh*

So it's Autumn!!! I actually miss being in Cape Town around the time of year. Not for the ugly weather change; who misses the cold, wet rain? Not this girl! I miss it for all the lovely colours of the leaves and the few flowers that are still around. My walks home were the best at this time of year. That, and over sized sweater and scarf weather, Yes? *Hi5 emoji*

Winter's coming here too and the rainy days are getting a little more spread out. We're in the second quarter of the year and I thought it would be best to do another one of these, just to keep on track yeah?
