How I Add Style to Scrubs!

I’ve had so many people tell me they are jealous that I get to wear scrubs! And for the most part its true! It’s easy to get ready for work when you only have one option for what you’re going to wear! But I definitely miss the days of dressing up cute outfits to go to work.

Adding style to scrubs can be hard depending on where you work. For example, I work with kids in the pediatric ER. I tend to not like wearing bracelets to work because I don’t want them to get caught on anything or get anything gross on them! Before moving to the peds ED I was a NICU nurse. We couldn’t wear any rings or bracelets (nothing from the elbow down) and I am pretty used to that. I also am careful about not wearing dangly earrings because lets be real, kids love to grab shiny things! I definitely do not want to have an earring pulled out.

But there are still ways to feel cute in scrubs, and I wanted to share my go to pieces with you all!

Earrings:

My go to earrings are my sparkle studs! I pretty much wear these every day, and I am constantly being asked about them. One of the reasons I love them is that they look incredibly glam but are super affordable at $19.99. I can wear gorgeous looking studs and not worry about what losing one (luckily I never have). I’m excited that I get to give a pair of silver sparkle studs away to anyone who shops my link from now until I hit my first sales milestone!

Necklace:

My favorite necklace that I hardly ever take off is my celestial choker. It is the perfect layering necklace, goes with literally everything, and isn’t super tempting for kids to grab! It also doesn’t get in the way/get tangled up with my stethoscope. It comes in silver and gold!

You can shop the necklace and sparkle studs through my link to be entered to win a pair of sparkle studs on me! https://www.stelladot.com/sites/miriamc

Hair clips:

It’s so funny to me how certain styles are coming back, whether its jean jackets or cute hair clips. @Michelebell21 always wears the cutest hair clips and she posted these ones on amazon. They are really sturdy, help keep my hair out of the way, and add something cute and stylish to my look. Plus they are 8$ on amazon!

As far as my actual scrubs go, I wear Figs scrubs. They are definitely more pricey than a lot of scrubs out there, but I find them to be great quality and much more flattering than a lot of other scrubs options.

I would love to hear how you style your scrubs/what brand of scrubs are your go to!

My Gym Essentials

Over the last two months or so I have completely fallen in love with lifting weights at the gym. I used to think a good workout had to include cardio, so I dreaded going. To be honest I am sure that I need to be doing more cardio, but for now I am enjoying loving the gym. Since I go to the gym 4-6 days a week now, I have discovered some essentials for my gym bag and I thought I would share them!

My current gym bag is my Stella and Dot crush it backpack. I’m obsessed with this bag! I love that it has a bottom compartment that can fit shoes. There are also straps for a yoga mat on the bottom. I honestly don’t think I’ll travel with another bag. It is easy to clean and fits a ton of stuff. It would make a perfect carry on bag too. If you are looking for a great gym/travel bag, check it out! I currently sell for Stella and Dot and I absolutely love the brand! https://www.stelladot.com/ts/qr29s

Recently I have discovered the brand Gymshark. I love their clothes! For the longest time I would worry that my leggings might be see through, and I’ve finally found a reliable brand that sells high quality gym clothes. Although I believe Gymshark is based out of the UK, shipping is fast and the quality has been great so far. If you are unsure of your size, the website provides measurements.

Preworkout: Currently I am using AlaniNu preworkout. It is the first one I have ever used, and it definitely gives me a boost. But be warned you definitely may get the preworkout “itch” with it.

Lastly, I always carry a resistance band and my headphones. As far as the resistance band goes, you can really grab any brand. But it is a great tool for the gym and for workouts at home. For headphones I am currently using airpods which I love. I was surprised by how well they stay in my ears, and the sound is great. I love having wireless headphones at the gym, and my last pair was really bothersome and always got in the way.

I would love to hear what your go to gym bag/gym essentials are!
