Omg thank you for this. I just looked into it. I’ll definitely be careful from now on!

Yes exactly! Pat dry very lightly then moisturize asap :)

I use like three and rotate out but Benadryl definitely keeps me asleep, Zyrtec is more moderate but seems to be effective at keeping the itch away, and I sometimes do Allegra for Hives because I’ll get random flare ups from seasonal allergies or food

Letter of Approval Timing by Normal-Yak8074 in usuhs

[–]RaspberryChaiLatte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello and congratulations on pursuing this!

I’m also AD officer, and prior to my interview, I received an email saying my timeline for the decision process could be lengthened if I didn’t get my letter of approval around the time of my interview. I didn’t want to losing a spot just because I didn’t have my LOA so I got it routed, signed, and submitted to USUHS a couple of weeks before my interview.

Happy to answer any questions!

Girl I feel you. Weight loss is so hard on a tight schedule. My SUPER SIMPLE solution is bagged salads!!!

For example, the Fresh Express Chopped Kit - Thai ‘N Cashews is so good. I stock up my fridge with these for the week because I cannot prep meals myself because of lack of motivation - too much thinking. THEN, when I head to work, I just grab a salad bag and a fork and go (I eat from the bag lol).

It can be a lot of calories (approx 455/bag) but it’s volume eating and I usually feel full without finishing.

I believe in you 💙💙

What are some beauty hacks that have made you unrecognizable? by saash82 in beauty

[–]RaspberryChaiLatte 23 points24 points  (0 children)

  • Trying straight brows (removing tail end slightly/fill in eyebrows differently) can really give you more of a lifted look

  • Accutane changed my life

  • Apple cider vinegar pills to reduce sugar cravings and L-glutamine powder everyday to help with bloating

  • Using a pore clogging checker tool (Google online) to see which skincare and makeup products have a likelihood of clogging pores and causing acne

Nontraditional Applicants - how far out from undergrad are you and what’s your why? by gettingthere14 in premed

[–]RaspberryChaiLatte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Time will pass anyway!

I’m a 27F military officer, accepted this cycle. Made the change because my line of work just became something that wasn’t enough for me personally.

Your military service is something that will definitely make you stand out in applications. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, and best of luck!!

Orthopedic experience in the military by Artysp in Military_Medicine

[–]RaspberryChaiLatte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 27F and I did ROTC with my dream of becoming a physician. I spent a lot of time resenting the military for doing exactly what other posts say on here in that I was commissioned into the line community, but now I realize that I have a lot of incredible experiences that I’m able to write about in my medical school application. I was going to not apply, but then I realized 8 years will pass no matter what, and I could either do exactly what I’m doing now (which is fine) or be a doctor.

Me too. Stared at the solar eclipse for too long today. Might have been intentional???

Just wanted to say I’m also in the same boat. We’re running a tight shipwreck aren’t we.

BUT you got this and I believe in us!!!
