The Monthly Mix

Scrub Style … I am so grateful for our medical professionals who go above and beyond to serve us each day. They do a great job of taking care of us when we need it the most. Their hours are long and tiring, which means being comfortable is essential. I am sharing my most chic scrub-style finds to help our medical professionals look good on the job! … It seems like clinics and hospitals are always cold, regardless of the season.

What the heck did I know about home health or hospice? It was 2020, and I felt pretty lost at the time, just wandering aimlessly through life. I was trying to find some solid footing.
