Masks Don’t Stop Mimosas!

2. Holiday Must Haves

Christmas begins with wine and family.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Before we get to the wine, I have been MIA & here is why:

  1. I got into medical school at Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in Middletown, NY. I moved to NY this summer in the middle of COVID and spent the summer getting settled & preparing for school.
  2. I wanted to get into a military scholarship program so I had to lose 10% of my body fat so I had to stop drinking.
  3. I started medical school in August 2020 and drowned in the amount of work for the entire semester.

But I’m back now! SOO let’s get to the wine!
