French Braid Pony


Hey guys! Being in a foreign country it can be difficult to use curling irons and straighteners since they can either overheat or not be hot enough from the difference in wattage, so I have been doing many heatless hairstyles.  For this hairstyle, I started doing a normal French Braid with all my hair and did not create a part.  I finished the braid until I got to the end of my hair and then tied it off into a ponytail.  I then took a small section and wrapped it around to hide the hair band and pinned it with a bobby pin.  Finally, I took out some pieces to frame my face and that was all! It held up all day through my hospital shift and I got many compliments!

Toledo, Spain Day 1 in the ICU Scrubbing in! The main Cathedral in Toledo My hilltop city! Palace at Aranjuez, Spain Gardens at Aranjuez, Spain Hey guys!  So about a week ago I started my internship where I am shadowing doctors for the next 5 weeks IN SPAIN! After being here a week, I was able to get settled in and am able to give an update. There is a group of 10 of us from my university living in Toledo, Spain and working in the local hospital.  This city is beautiful and contains so much history that there are even buildings here that date back to the 1st century.  On Sunday, we arrived in Toledo and settled into our hotel since we would have a busy week ahead of us.  We are all stationed in different departments each week and this allows us to get an up close view of what it is like being in the healthcare industry.  This week I was in the ICU and was able to witness a few surgeries throughout the week.  I got a little nauseous on the first day since

Lagunas de Ruidera

Hey guys!  So on Wednesday we traveled to the Ruidera Lakes in Castile-La Mancha, Spain.  There are about 15 of these lagoons that vary in colors and are all interconnected through small canals.  We hiked first to the main waterfall, but it is so surrounded by nature that you can only see it from afar and cannot get too close to it.  Then we continued our hike until we came upon a bat cavern, so we put on our helmets and headlamps to head down under.  I couldn't see any bats, but it was interesting to see the layout of the cave and the beautiful crystals that formed in the ceiling.  Our visit was on a rainy day so we took cover in a restaurant for lunch and luckily it cleared up so we could go kayaking!  We kayaking around the lagoon and then had to drag our kayak through a small canal so that we could enter a new lagoon and swim around there.  The water was a clear blue and in some areas it was even turquoise, and it was possible to see the bottom most of t

Waterfalls of the Grand Canyon

Havasu Falls Mooney Falls Hike to Mooney Falls Navajo Falls The 10 mile hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon was so worth it once I saw the first waterfall.  After hours under the hot sun and being covered in red dust the feeling of satisfaction came once I put my feet into the crystal blue water.  There were 4 waterfalls we swam in and our campground was right in the middle of them.  We put up our hammocks and survived off of nutella and bagels for 2 nights...with the occasional 2 mile hike to the cafe in the Supai village for a burger (I am American after all)  The waterfalls were spectacular and I wish I was able to take more photos but I was busy swimming in the water and enjoying myself to be too caught up with technology.  My favorite one was Mooney Falls which stood at 200 ft tall and required up to navigate down wooden ladders and rough terrain in order to reach the bottom of it.  We camped for 2 nights and then made our way out early in the morning to avoi
