a nurse’s journal + lifestyle

Hi there! I’m Ari. I am a Registered Nurse by night, a Nurse Practitioner (NP) in the making, and a gypsy at heart. Welcome! You have somehow stumbled upon my little corner in the internet: The Gypsy in Scrubs.

Through this virtual journal + lifestyle blog, I offer you my way of life and living. Career? Travel? Adventure? Skincare? Beauty? Health and Wellness? Self-improvement? You name it. Niches are not exactly my thing because try to live by “I’ll try anything [healthy] at least once” mindset. So, you’ll probably find all the random things that I love around here!

With respect to those who came before me, I spent my entire 20s unbinding generations of limitations, healing, learning, growing, exploring, and breaking my own glass ceilings. As a 1.5G Filipino-American immigrant, I am very proud of my roots and the life I have built. Humbly speaking/writing, allow me to inspire you to daringly and unappologetically create the life of your daydreams!

Look around and come follow me as I share my world with you.

Whatever brought you here, feel deep in your heart that YOU ARE MEANT FOR IT.

That YOU ARE WORTHY of it.

The Gypsy in Scrubs,

Ari
