Hi guys!
I just got back from the hospital.
It's about 8 o'clock.
I mentioned this in a previous vlog I'm currently doing my internal medicine rotation.
Internal medicine if you guys don't know is a field of medicine that specializes in prevention,
diagnosis and treatment of adult diseases.
I would probably add to that also management of a lot of chronic adult diseases like diabetes,
hypertension and things like that.
So basically anything that's not pediatrics, ob-gyn or surgery pretty much falls under
internal medicine and obviously from that you can further specialize.
So I'm back home and a lot of you guys have been asking for a night time routine and I
thought today might be a good time to that.
So I just got back form the hospital so I'll show you guys what I do when I get home from
work.
So the first thing I do when I get home is feed my cat, Candy.
Next I prepare dinner for myself.
So today's dinner is couscous and some Korean bbq short-ribs from Trader Joe's and some
spinach and cherry tomatoes.
So usually I like to eat dinner and watch a quick TV show so that I can decompress from
the day.
TV shows that I like to watch are usually about 30 minutes long so that it's not too
long and I don't get too comfortable.
A TV show that I've been watching is Sex and The City it's about 20 years old.
I think it started in '98 it's about four girl friends living in NYC and I think it
touches on a lot of subjects that I think that are still relevant now like balancing
work and family, relationship and friendships and things like that.
It's actually one of the motivators of me wanting to live in NYC.
I watched it all through high school and I really wanted to live in the city.
So I'm gonna watch that and I'm gonna have my dinner and I'm gonna take a shower and
I will check in with you guys in a little bit.
So I'm done with my dinner and my TV show and let me show you guys quickly what I'm
wearing.
I'm still wearing my outfit form the hospital.
I'm wearing like a sleeveless shell from J. Crew and just black pants.
These are actually more like denim but the pass as business-casual.
Under the white coat everything looks a little more business-y than they do in real life.
So I can get away with wearing something that's comfortable to me.
I like these shells because they're really comfortable and they're high neck so I don't
have to worry about showing too much cleavage or anything like that if I have to bend over--which
you do a lot when you're examining patients.
I like that it's sleeveless so it's not as bulky under the white coat.
In Internal Medicine, unlike Surgery or Emergency Medicine or Ob-gyn you have to wear business
casual everyday.
So that's one the pro or cons depending how you look at it.
I guess pro because you get to look nice but con because you have to think about what you're
gonna wear before you go to bed or in the morning.
This is what I'm wearing, I tend to stay in my school clothes, or hospital clothes when
I'm watching a TV show so I don't get too comfortable.
If I change into my pajamas or whatever I'll never stop watching TV so that's why I'm still
wearing this.
If you guys are interested, I have a business casual outfits on a budget video that I'm
going to link somewhere maybe up there so you guys can check it out.
So now I'm gonna take a shower and I'm gonna get some studying done.
So I wanted to quickly talk about some of the night-time skin care products that I use.
I don't have a ton.
I keep in pretty simple only because if I keep it more than two or three steps I'll
just not do it.
If I'm wearing make-up which I'm not on most days that I go to the hospital but if I'm
wearing make-up I use the Estee Lauder advanced night micro cleansing balm to remove make-up.
It's sort of like a solid balm that when you put it on your face it kinda feels like oil
but I think it's not technically oil.
Then when you wash it off with water, everything comes off really easily.
I like to use this when I'm wearing something on my face and my eye-makeup and things like
that.
If I'm not wearing make-up there are two cleansers that I use I use this Cetaphil or I use this
Glossier--the milky jelly cleanser.
I'll put all the product information in the description box below.
Basically Cetaphil I keep in the sink and the Glossier I keep in the shower.
Both of these you can use dry or wet so if you have a little bit of makeup on you can
use it dry without water on your face to take off make-up and then you can wash it off.
Or you can use it like a regular cleanser.
For body lotion, I use this Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion that I got from Target or something
like that.
I use a serum from Glossier.
This one is called Super Bounce.
It has umm I'm not gonna be able to pronounce this: Hyaluronic Acid.
So Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B5.
It's a serum for your face that you put on before putting moisturizer and in the winter
time I need a pretty thick moisturizer so I use a Lamer Moisturizer that actually my
mom bought but turns out she had an allergic reaction to it so she gave it to me, so I
have this.
In the summer time I use a much lighter lotion because if I use this in the summer it will
make me break out.
So, this is what I have.
So these are all the skin care products that I use at night time.
So now that I'm all showered and in comfortable clothes, now is the perfect time to start
studying.
Usually I check to see if there's anything I need to do for the next day for the hospital
and I'll do that and then I'll do some questions.
And for tonight specifically I have my forth year scheduling tomorrow so I'm gonna be looking
through some courses to make sure I have all the course number and everything written down
so I'll be prepared for tomorrow.
So tomorrow there's a lunch lecture at noon so I'm just gonna look over the cases that
are being presented tomorrow and get some studying done.
So I'm done studying for the night it's about 11pm so I'm gonna brush my teeth and head
to bed soon.
So for dental care or whatever, I use Philip Sonicare toothbrush and for toothpaste I use
Sensodyne.
Another thing that I use that I really like is this air-floss from also Sonicare.
This thing is basically floss but you can fill this up with either water or mouthwash
and it basically goes between your teeth and shoots out really high pressure streams so
everything that's between your teeth comes out.
I can't tell you how many times I flossed, brushed my teeth and then used it and more
stuff came out.
I highly recommend this Air Floss from Sonicare.
So yeah, that's my dental care routine.
So that's it for today!
