I'm not sure I can put it into words but, I feel so incredibly lucky and thankful for the life I live, the people in my life, the job I have, and the experiences I get to enjoy. I've always known how lucky I am and it is something I never want to take for granted. 2017 was just a year that I would get all caught up inhttp://cruisinthewaves.blogspot.com/2017/12/reflecting-on-2017.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jenny Martin)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195385231831407656.post-1304369626456259935Fri, 09 Jun 2017 16:03:00 +00002017-06-09T12:03:27.916-04:00Happy Friday! This weekend is especially special because it's girls weekend here on Cape. A few of my college girlfriends are coming down for a weekend filled with beach trips, adventures to the winery, drinks and endless laughs. I AM SO EXCITED!

After struggling with perioral dermatitis, I've really focused on finding skin care products that work for my skin and sticking to them. Simple, clean, natural products that are made for sensitive skin are usually products that catch my eye.

Hope you had a nice and relaxing weekend. Currently I am sitting on the couch watching the football playoffs. GO PATRIOTS!  One thing I love about reading blogs is getting to know the blogger. I realized I haven't shared much about myself besides the basics so I thought I would do a little survey so my readers could get to know me.

Five hours ago I just arrived home from doing three twelve hour night shifts in a row. I slept for four hours because it's my day off and I'm determined to not waste my day off. So, here I am sitting on the couch in an oversized pair of sweatpants and sweatshirt, hair up in a ginormous messy bun, mascara rubbed all over my eyes, sipping on a cup of coffee http://cruisinthewaves.blogspot.com/2017/01/six-tips-for-nurses-to-survive-night.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jenny Martin)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195385231831407656.post-4509621601463221112Sun, 08 Jan 2017 13:53:00 +00002017-01-08T08:53:58.758-05:00If you haven't noticed already by this blog or my instagram, I am completely obsessed with Tarte Cosmetics. I haven't purchased a product that I have been disappointed in. Tarte is a brand that is eco-friendly, cruelty free, and they only use natural products.

It is so crazy to me that another year has flown by. It's true what they say... time flies when you're having fun! 2016 was a year full of fun, hard work, love, adventures and lessons learned.

How are you? Happy Friday! For many of you, today starts the weekend. Woohoo! Any fun plans? I thought I would come on here and share some of my favorite things lately. I really want to try and make this a weekly post. I've seen other bloggers do it, and I always loved seeing their favorite things week to week.

I'm not one to set New Years resolutions but, I do like to look back on the year and think about how I can improve myself in the new year. 2015 was a big year for me. From January to May I was pretty much only consumed with nursing school. It was really my only focus. I ate, slept, breathed nursing school.

For one, it is a longggggg story and trying to keep it short and concise didn't seem possible. Also, it's all still kind of emotional for me. However, I was just browsing on Pinterest and saw this pin that said "10 signs you have an Autoimmune Disease and how to cure it" and it actuallyhttp://cruisinthewaves.blogspot.com/2015/11/my-rheumatoid-arthritis-journey.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jenny Martin)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195385231831407656.post-4012263781586262838Thu, 24 Sep 2015 00:35:00 +00002015-09-23T20:43:42.734-04:00Summer on Cape Cod never disappoints. As I sit here drinking a pumpkin beer on the official first day of Fall, I can't help but look back on the summer. I'd have to say, this past season was one full of great memories. It certainly had some rough times with events and memories that I'd like to leave it the past but, overall I'd say it was a summer I'll remember for a very long time.  My http://cruisinthewaves.blogspot.com/2015/09/goodbye-summer-2015.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jenny Martin)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195385231831407656.post-6021890706084757920Thu, 13 Aug 2015 19:50:00 +00002015-08-13T15:52:11.074-04:00 I have been wanting to share this post for a while now. I have always loved makeup. Buying and trying new products is so fun!

I can't believe that its been more than a month since my last blog spot. Sorry about that! The end of my last semester of nursing school was quickly approaching so I was studying for finals, packing my apartment up to move back home, applying for the NCLEX, and starting to job search. Things have calmed down now so, I am hoping to get back to blogging once a week.

The past few days have been sunny and 60 degrees. It was a long winter so I am overly excited about the warm temperatures and sunny skies. And warm weather comes with cute spring clothes, nights by the fire, the end of nursing school (SO SOON!), and smoothies! Smoothies are one of my all time favorite breakfast meals.

I started to get really swollen eyes. I'm not sure exactly when it began but, I am pretty sure I just woke up one morning and it was there. As soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, I could tell if they were swollen or not. I could feel it and sometimes my eyes couldn't open all the way. http://cruisinthewaves.blogspot.com/2015/03/i-still-dont-know-what-this-is.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Jenny Martin)26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195385231831407656.post-2391189169444418914Wed, 18 Mar 2015 23:26:00 +00002015-03-21T19:00:56.713-04:00BirthdayCape CodChathamFalmouthHot Chocolate SparrowSpring BreakTo say I enjoyed my last Spring Break would be an understatement.
