1. Lipstick to tinted lip balm - Lipsticks are forever; however, for the effortless summer, natural summer makeup. Tinted lip balm will not feel as heavy on the lips and will not only moisturize and protect your lips from the sun. It will also give a tint of color that would look natural and effortless.

2. Foundation to tinted moisturizer - This is a given and said many times. Foundation during the summer feels thick and greasy, but tinted moisturizer will not only cover up the imperfections on the face while feeling invisible on the face. Also, it has SPF that will protect the face from the sun. 

3. Eyeliner to mascara - I am a huge fan of eyeliner, but during the summer the eyeliner on the eyes can look harsh, heavy, and unnatural. So for a natural look while still drawing attention to the eyes is a eyelash curler and mascara. Curling the lashes and adding volume can give your eyes an effortless, natural look while highlighting it as well! Make sure you choose waterproof mascara if you are heading to the beach or a pool party.

Summer of Freshmen/Sophomore Year To Do

Currently this is the second month of my summer vacation with the first year of college under my belt and this break has allow me to prepare myself for another challenging semester of a pre med student. So I am sharing with all you what I am doing this summer that will help prepare you for the upcoming semester and to progress into a potential pre-med candidate.

1. Preparing for Organic Chemistry - according to my pre-medical advisor Organic Chemistry is a course taken during Sophomore year of college, and it is known by college students as a very tough course. My advisor told me that average time spent with Organic Chemistry is about 30 hours per week! The textbook the course is using is Organic Chemistry 7th edition by John McMurry. The professor suggested that we should review chapter 1 through 3 and if we are feeling ambitious go up until chapter 5, and work through all the problems in the textbook. Whenever a professor suggest something,  I think they are actually saying "you should do this if you want to succeed". So I am throughout this summer slowly going through chapter 1-5 making sure I understand the concept taught so during the semester I will not be overwhelmed. Below are some links to aid in preparing for Organic Chemistry:

Organic Chemistry taught by Khan Academy

Online Preparation Review Guide for Organic Chemistry recommended by my Organic Chemistry professor .

2. Preparing for Introduction to Statistic & Introduction to Sociology - what I have learned these two semester of freshman year is that not to take my 4 credit classes for granted. These 4 credit classes have a huge impact on your GPA. So I have learned to prepare for the worst and hope the best. So preparation is really important to me so with everything going on this semester I will be able handle it with ease and stress free. For introduction to statistic, I am using AP Statistic preparation guides from Barron's. For Introduction to Sociology, I am looking at these links:

Online from American Sociological Association 

Sparknotes

Wikibooks Introduction to Sociology

3. Volunteering - During the summer, it is a great opportunity to shadow doctors and volunteer in hospital, free public health clinics, or even doctors' offices. Volunteering in the potential career field you are looking into going to during the summer would look wonderful on a application because during the school year it is difficult because there is so much going on from school work to extracurricular. I am looking into volunteering at a hospital, free public health clinic, and a private practice. So fingers cross that I will be able to do that this summer. 

4. ENJOY! - This to me is very important because we have just went through a semester of hard work due to the path we choose to take. This summer is a wonderful opportunity to catch up with old friends, new friends, family, and yourself. I find it wonderful to take time to myself by exercising, picking up a hobby I couldn't do during college such as pleasure reading or learning yoga. It is a perfect time to refresh, reboost, and relax before another chaotic year of pre-med life.

Currently In Style & Lusting

Lately this spring and summer season I have been noticing that kimono jacket have been currently the "it" article of clothing and I have to agree. A kimono jacket is described as a loose, chiffon jacket that is very light and known to lean towards the bohemian feel.  It is perfect for the spring and summer season because it is not knitted or cotton that would be too warm during the warm weather. I have seen them in various store and have been trying to get my hands on a jacket myself because I love first I love chiffon and second it is a perfect jacket that is perfect for the weather and is still stylish. Kimono jackets are hot, hot, hot! Below are some beautiful kimono jackets at retail stores that are affordable and fashionable!
