Christmas Wish List



First off, yes you can be 24 years old and have a wish list. Just saying. Secondly, I personally enjoy seeing what others have on their wish list because sometimes I learn about something I would like from those lists. That is why I am writing about my wish list today. It may seem absurd to some of you, but when it comes to gift giving, I am not one to be pumped about receiving gift cards. I personally enjoy the thought and the consideration of a physical gift. Although you are asking for something specifically, it does not mean you only want that item you listed. I am also someone who feels blessed when someone goes out of their way to be creative and find something they think I would enjoy. So what I am getting at is surprises are great too. But as stated above, there are some things that I would personally enjoy owning and people (my mom) always want to know what I would like to receive. 

The first item on my wish list is a personalized image of what the stars looked like on our wedding night.  I would love something like this to hang in my home along with an image from my wedding. Our wedding day was literally my most favorite day ever. There is something so pretty about these prints and then to have it tied to something sentimental would make this a great gift for anyone. Etsy has a lot of shops that are able to provide this service. These range from $20 to $40 depending who you purchase from. 


This next gift idea is from Alex and Ani. I love the whole concept of Alex and Ani. I have a couple bracelets from them and look forward to getting new ones in the future. One of the bracelets I would like to receive would be the Law Enforcement bracelet. My husband is a police officer and I am proud of all the work he does. I try to support him in any way. It may be corny but I am proud to be his wife and proud to be apart of the police community. Alex and Ani is currently running their Black Friday sale which is 30% all items making this gift option a fairly reasonable price. They have several other charms that would be perfect for any women in your life as well.

My favorite skin care line is Mario Badescu. I have quite a few products from this company and honestly believe that they have helped my skin tremendously. This brand uses natural ingredients almost exclusively so for someone who has sensitive skin, it does not break me out. Skin care would make a great gift because it can be expensive. Luckily, Mario Badescu is relatively affordable and typically has great gift sets you can pick up at Ulta or Sephora. Some of my favorite products from this company is the Enzyme Revitalizing Mask, the Lip Balm, and the Enzyme Cleansing Gel. I would love to try some eye cream or the Vitamin C oil next.

The next item I would like this year is cordless headphones. I am not particular on any brand but I do want something reliable. I honestly just need something I can use to workout with. Cords are the death of me at the gym and I feel awkward as heck trying to manage them jumping from machine to machine. I also have to mention the numerous piercings I have that do not go well with earbuds.

Now it wouldn't be a Hannah wish list without having clothing on it somewhere. I love clothes. I am not ashamed either at my love for clothes. I genuinely love getting new clothes and having cute new outfits. With all this being said, I have my eye on a few clothing pieces this year. I personally would love a pair of Madewell jeans. I own maybe two things from this brand but I love the quality of everything they make. Online they also have a questionnaire to help you find the best fit for you in jeans. This is super helpful because every brand runs a little different. The quiz helped me determine I would be a 31. Next there is this brand that I have wanted to purchase clothing from for a few months now but I am not big on online shopping. The brand is Pebby Forevee. The owner and her team are just some all around badass women who create these side slit tees as well as run a boutique. I want like 90% of her store in my wardrobe. For a shoe option, I would love to own some Chinese Laundry. They have soooo many cute styles of shoes. I am really loving the Capital Suede Platforms or the Utah Booties. To be functional, I will add I also would love a new pair of tennis shoes from New Balance. The pair of tennis shoes I like from them currently are the Roav F1 Fresh Foam Running Shoe in white.

This time of year can be hard to come up with ideas for gift giving or receiving. I hope you found this useful for either yourself or someone else you may be shopping for. I also want to reiterate that as much fun as it is to give and receive gifts, the true meaning of Christmas is obviously about sacrifice and love. Spend time with family, appreciate what you do have and recognize the blessings in your life that you may take for granted. Sometimes we get caught up in this world of wants and needs and forget about what we do have already. That's my deep message of the day. I hope it wasn't to cliche. Thank you for reading and let me know what Christmas gifts you would like to receive this year.

Nurse Life: How to Prepare for a 12+ Hour Shift

Image
Preparing for your 12+ hour shift can be such a task. You have to clean your uniforms, prepare you meals, do your nightly ritual all just to mentally and physically prepare for what work may bring you. We all have our own flow with how we prepare for our shifts whether we distinctly know it or not. Today I want to share mine. It’s not too special but I will say it definitely makes or breaks my work day if not done concisely.  It begins with my uniforms. These are most important to my job because it identifies who I am to the patients. I MUST have that. I always make sure they’re clean and ready for the day. I am one of those who has worn the same style of uniforms pretty much from the start of my career in healthcare. I wear a long sleeved under shirt, scrub top, and vest with my scrub pants and compression socks. Might I add, I do feel exposed if any of these pieces are missing. Sounds kind of dorky yes I know but when you work in such a personal environment the last th...

Recent Amazon Purchases You NEED

Image
I for one am addicted to Amazon. I will search any and everything on Amazon simply because you can find literally anything on it. I used to be hardcore against online shopping but here lately I've noticed it is such a huge stress relief to just Prime anything I need. Yes, I am at this point where "Prime" can be used as a verb. I have also come to notice that if a product I have used from a store isn't on Amazon, they offer something similar typically with thousands of positive reviews. So here I am today, to offer up some of my most favorite recent purchases.  Underbed storage bags First off are these underbed storage bags. I will be the first one to point out my love (possible addiction) to clothing. These are a life saver because I so graciously gave my husband our bedroom closet and took the smaller closet and these allow me to store clothing and shoes under our bed. Seriously cannot beat the price on these either. $13.99 for a set of two. The quality...

You Can Be Both, Fashionable and Functional: Nursing School Supplies

Image
Nursing school is expensive. There is always a fee due, a book to be bought, and extra supplies needed. So how can you prevent it from getting out of hand? Hear me out. Quality over quantity. This phrase is over used but for a good reason. Investing in the items you will use all year and possibly after school will save you so much time and effort. You will be SO preoccupied with other school related stressors that you won't want to think twice about purchasing extra scrubs or shoes. I know it may seem like you are getting a good deal when you find a set of scrubs for twenty dollars but think about the wear time those scrubs will give you. In the end you may purchase more than two sets of those scrubs because the quality just isn't there. So here is my two cents on the best supplies to help you survive nursing school.  You don't have to have the nicest stethoscope, but I do recommend at least getting the Littman 3M Lightweight II. This stethoscope provides clear eas...
