One of the easiest ways to make sure you eat well and save money is bringing your own food to work. I’m practically a pro at packing meals to-go because I work at a job that requires it. As a nurse, I’m often squeezing snacks and meals in whenever I can. Unlike my days off, when I can eat whenever I’m hungry, the timing of my meals at work is instead based on my patients’ stability. In NYC, I brought my lunch every single day. If you add it up, those 2 1/2 years of… Read more >

My birthday post last left off with an unopened bottle of Gallo 2007 Cab. We took care of that. Glug glug glug. My birthday suit freakum’ dress – how’d I do Kailey?

It’s all coming back to me nowwwww. Hideous song. I apologize. But it’s how I feel now that I’m back at work. I love it! I can’t even tell you how awesome it feels to be nursing again. I will write more about my job in the coming weeks but for now I am going to bust through the food. *This post is old, so disregard any references to time. My first day was actually last Thursday and I wrote this shortly thereafter but never got the post up. Remember my pre-packed eats from yore?… Read more >
