At Black Finch our goal is be the outer representation of your inner style and sophistication because we believe that strong, beautiful women deserve strong, beautiful uniforms. We know the details and facts about our scrubs and if you follow us on social media, then you know them as well as we do, but hearing it from us doesn’t always hit home like it does when you hear it from someone who has worn them and loved them.

 

Kasey Harrison is a NICU Transport Registered Nurse, who recently tried a pair of Black Finch scrubs. She’s extremely active. When Kasey isn’t at work, she would most likely be found surfing at the beach or camping with her two rescue pups, Max and Bella. Kasey is the definition of on-the-go. Her feedback was so positive and spot-on to what we, at Black Finch, believe the scrubs to be. We wanted to share with you how she describes them!

 

 

From Kasey:

 

 

 

 

 

The Black Finch scrubs have so many features that I love and now can’t live without! To start, they are 100% wrinkle free. I wore the Black Finch scrubs on Monday, washed them and threw them in the dryer, pulled them out Tuesday morning after sitting in the dryer all night and they were perfect! Totally ready to wear! I didn’t see one wrinkle on them… talk about a time saver! I also accidentally left two towels in the load and there was ZERO lint on the scrubs. I know I’m not the only one who doesn’t have time to iron our wrinkles and lint roll every inch of their scrubs in the morning. With Black Finch, I no longer have to worry about showing up with wrinkled, linty scrubs.

 

 

 

On another note, how many of you have issues with scrubs that are too stiff? As a NICU Transport RN, I need scrubs that stretch with my every movement. Until Black Finch, I was always nervous about my scrubs tearing if I squatted too low. Now, the deeper the squat the better! I know Black Finch scrubs will support every move I make! The best part is that they never get stretched out. With their 4-way stretch feature, they go right back to where they started!

 

 

 

 

Despite my days starting pretty early, I am NOT a morning person, AT ALL. I never have been, and I never will be. My mornings are usually a little hectic and involve a bit of rushing, which ends up with me being a little clumsy and spilling some part of my breakfast on me. When I wore my Black Finch scrubs for the first time, I spilt coffee and grapefruit juice on them. I was immediately frustrated, but when I looked down, I noticed that each time the liquid just beaded up and wiped right off. There was no stain or remaining residue! We all spill things now and then and to not have the reminder on our scrubs all day, is so refreshing!

 

Let’s face it, we all live busy lives. That’s why I am obsessed with my Black Finch scrubs. My workload demands me to bring my best self every minute of every day, while caring for the tiniest, most fragile humans. The scrubs are breathable, wrinkle free and still look great at the end of the day. I’ve even worn them to happy hour after my shift and didn’t feel under dressed.

As a NICU transport RN no two days are ever alike, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. My days are intense, both mentally and physically. I am constantly challenged with taking care of the most fragile and tiniest patients, while striving to earn the trust of their parents. When I put on my Black Finch scrubs, I feel confident, professional and motivated to be the best version of myself.

I’m obsessed with these scrubs! I never miss a beat at home and now thanks to Black Finch, I never miss a beat at work either.

Be Bold. Be Brave. Be Black Finch.

The Evolution of Maria Tu

My name is Maria Tu. I am a mother, wife, pharmacy student and co-founder of Black Finch with my husband, Tom. My journey in the field of medicine began long before I even intended it to. Maybe I should have known then that this is the path I would end up taking, but I’ve found that paving my own road has led me to some of my greatest accomplishments thus far.

 My hope for anyone reading this is that you find the inspiration and drive you need to achieve your dreams. Nothing worth having comes easy but knowing that you already have the tools to do whatever it is your set your mind to is half the battle. The days are long, but the years are short. It’s never too late to start a new endeavor. My husband and biggest supporter has taught me that taking the time to figure out what you love will produce far more happiness than doing something because you feel like you have to and for that I will forever be grateful.

My parents moved to the United States from Ecuador when my mom was 22-years old. They were just married and wanted to find a way to live a more fulfilled life together. Upon moving to the States, my dad enrolled in college. He knew that having his education was the best way to start their life in America. While my dad was in school, my mother, who is the hardest working woman that I know, started cleaning houses to make some extra money. Being the woman that she is, she was not satisfied with a one-woman show. Over time she turned her services into a successful business that is still operating today. She is now the CEO and Founder of her own business.

My mom set a great example for my three younger sisters and me. While she was very strict, she knew just when a little fun needed to be thrown into the mix. My mom taught us that we can have it all and that running into obstacles isn’t something that should hold you back. She showed us that if we wanted something, the only way to get it, was to earn it. Her self-motivation is unlike anything I’ve seen. She is by far the biggest influence in my life.

When I went to college, my mother told me that I needed to be a doctor or a lawyer. I, obviously, did not want to do either of those things. So, I decided that I would major in English. It only took one year for me to realize that writing was not my forte. My sophomore year of college I decided to listen to my mother and changed my major to chemistry and finished in three years.

After I graduated, my mom wanted me to go straight into medical school and I said no. She suggested pharmacy school and again, I said no. I decided that I needed to take a year off to figure out what I really wanted to do with my life. My mom was certainly not happy about this, but she was okay with it because medical school wasn’t completely off the table. However, when I told her I was planning to move to LA and move in with Tom, that was the end of the line and she cut me off. She didn’t disown me by any means, but she said, “Okay, you’re moving out and you’re not going to be in school, so I’m no longer going to pay your bills.”

When I moved into the extremely tiny studio apartment with Tom in LA, I began tutoring. I became obsessed with it. For me I felt such a connection to helping these high school kids learn and understand the concepts they were being taught in the classrooms. Their “aha” moments brought me so much joy and a sense of accomplishment.

The love I felt for tutoring inspired me and sparked a new path. I was going to go back to school to get my teaching credential. While I was in school, I was still tutoring for work and just before finishing, one of my classmates, who ended up being one of my good friends throughout school, suggested that we get our master’s in education. We seemed to be on a role, so I said, “Okay, let’s do it!”

So, we got our master’s in education and I began teaching at a high school in East LA and I absolutely hated it.  It was not nearly the same as tutoring and it certainly did not bring me the same kind of joy. I am not an authoritative person so to be in front sixty high school students, who looked older than me, pretending to be that person, was not what I had in mind.

After Tom finished dental school, we got married and moved back to Orange County. I had gone back to tutoring by this time and was commuting from Orange County to West Hollywood every day. I became pregnant with our daughter, Tommie and I still commuted from Orange County to LA every day until two weeks before she was born.

After we had her, we quickly realized that the commute was not going to work out. Tom suggested finding a tutoring job in Orange County but that meant working independently or starting my own tutoring company and I didn’t want either of those things. Collectively, Tom and I decided that I needed to take some time to figure out what my next steps were going to be. 

I stayed home for two years with Tommie. At first, I felt like I was going to be okay with that, but I quickly realized that it wouldn’t be enough. Growing up with my mom being the hard-working woman that she is, I felt like I wasn’t doing enough. I grew up watching my mom hustle. She never stopped and I wasn’t okay with not doing the same thing. I wanted to do something that Tommie could be proud of. I wanted to be challenged. I wanted to grow, and I want Tommie to grow up knowing that she can do it all because that is what her mom is doing. It is so important to me that we teach her the benefits of hard work. I want her to fully understand that if she chooses to work hard, then she can be whatever she wants to be. I don’t want this to have to be something we tell her. I want her to see both Tom and I living in this.

The last year has been a whirlwind to say the least. A little over a year ago I decided to go to pharmacy school, and you can only imagine the joy this brought my mother. She was elated! I was excited too, but of course, my first thought was, “I should have listened to my mom when I was in college!”

Finding ways to balance all of our schedules has been challenging. Managing my schoolwork with being a mom, wife and entrepreneur is not the easiest, but we know the end result will be worth it. We have a system and it works for us. Sure, it means less sleep than I would prefer, but when it comes to working for what you want, you just find a way to do it. Deep down you know you’ll get everything done on time and it will be done at the highest level. 

After all, that is what Black Finch is built upon, right? Being committed to the driven isn’t just a statement. Our grit and determination to provide the best life we can for ourselves and our daughter not only fuels us personally, but it fuels our business, as well. We love to help people grow, which is why we have ended up on the path we’re on. Black Finch is for people on the go. It’s for people who have a reason and purpose for what they’re doing.

 

Stop wearing scrubs. Wear Black Finch.

 

When was the last time you had an amazing workout? You know, the kind that leaves your legs feeling like jello and your arms like noodles, yet still somehow you leave feeling energized and unstoppable?

At Black Finch, we have found that experiencing intense physical activity leaves you with a profound sense of accomplishment. You’ve either finished your last round of reps, reached the peak of a mountain after a 5-hour hike or you’ve even finished your first week of intense workouts in the gym. No matter what the exercise, you’re experiencing the benefits and they’re undeniable.

In our experience, these types of workouts have helped us perform better in our demanding and strenuous jobs. They’ve given us more energy to spend with the family and reduced our overall stress levels. In our careers only the driven prosper, and those who are driven to be successful most likely exercise regularly in order to create a peak physical mental state that positively affects all areas of your life.

In the day-to-day grind of work, life and pursuing your goals, the benefits of working out can be easily forgotten. We understand that it is easy to use lack of time as an excuse, however, in life, people make time for what is important to them. If you make exercise a priority, you can find time to exercise even with a crazy work schedule. Social media has become America’s greatest pass-time, but the truth of life remains the same: physical activity is essential to our overall health and well-being. 

“Those who think they have not time for bodily exercise will sooner or later have to find time for illness.” – Edward Stanley, Earl of Derby

Although most driven, passionate and successful people make exercise a priority, the following three reasons will give everyone the extra motivation, drive and inspiration to improve your physical and mental well-being.

1. Great Mental Toughness and Grit

Self-discipline is one of the traits that is key to your success. It is the grit and determination to stick to a goal despite the distractions that you face. When you exercise routinely you are building new habits of discipline.

 Every day will bring new challenges. One day you might go all-out and have a really hard work out. Other days you might not even want to work out, but as long as you are physically active day-to-day, you are building habits that will set you up for success. When your determination out ways your motivation, you will come to a crossroads and in that moment, when you choose to do the one thing you didn’t want to do because you know it is what is best for you, you have sharpened your mental edge and improved your self-mastery. Over time your determination will become passion and you will become an unwavering, focused and unstoppable machine when it comes down to pursuing what is important to you.

2. Increased Mental and Physical Energy

Do you know what you want your life to look like? Do you have goals? Have you thought about the different stages of your life and what you want to accomplish? Have you ever thought about what your life would be like if you never experienced exhaustion? If this were the case, how would your life change? Would your quality of life increase? 

Whatever you pursue in life will always require two things: time and effort. These two things depend on your energy levels, which depends on your health and fitness. When you eat the right foods for your body, get enough sleep and exercise routinely, then your mind and body become less fatigued and save energy like the energizer bunny.

When your fitness is in alignment with your eating habits and sleep patterns, you increase mental energy and continue to stay at your peak level. Getting tasks done will seem less like a chore, productivity won’t feel like such a stressful work and grogginess will no longer exist. While these things are mostly work related, that is because we spend most of our time at work and we often align our success with our working status or title.

3. Your Health is EVERYTHING

In life, the majority of the general public confuses the meaning of being selfless. People generally believe that putting others before themselves or doing a lot for other individuals is what makes them better people and ultimately determines what they get out of life. At Black Finch, we believe the opposite. We know that in order to best serve the people around us, whether it is at work, with a group of friends or even our own families, we HAVE to serve ourselves first. If we’re not at our best, if we don’t feel great about ourselves and our purpose, then how can we enhance the lives of others around us? Taking care of others, means taking care of you.

We’ll leave you with this: The only things in life that we can control is our attitude and our effort. It doesn’t take superior talent to control either of those. Find your motivation, turn it into dedication and it will become your passion.

 We Know You Have Grit

 

Black Finch evolved from our passion to succeed. It stemmed from our drive to persevere. Black Finch evolved with Grit.

Motivation is often the reason entrepreneurs start a new business, but motivation is not what ultimately makes them successful. “Grit” is a positive, non-cognitive trait based on an individual’s perseverance of effort combined with the passion for a particular long-term goal.

Because we refuse to ever give anything less than 100%, we have found success in pursuing our dreams of being business owners. In today’s day and age, where there seems to be so many “overnight successes” it is important to remember that these big wins didn’t come on a whim or by a stroke of luck. Just like you spent 4-8 years in school to become the professional that you are, entrepreneurs that succeed have been working towards greatness for longer than it seems.  The entrepreneurs that become a success possess similar qualities, including determination, resilience and optimism, but the one thing that sets them apart is grit.

 

What Is Grit?

Here is a definition of grit from psychologist and researcher, Angela Duckworth:

 “Grit is passion and perseverance for long-term and meaningful goals.” – Angela Duckworth

Grit is both a skill and a trait. It’s the ability persevere when you face obstacles that don’t appear to have a solution- ones that the general public would quit before solving. It’s having direction and commitment with an intense passion to succeed. When you have this type of passion, you find ways to stay committed to a long-term goal or task that may be difficult or boring.

Along with passion, grit is about perseverance. It’s sticking with it and continuing to work hard even after experiencing a difficulty or failure. The ability to be gritty is an essential trait of success, but just because someone is talented or intelligent, doesn’t mean that they have grit.

“Even if some of the things they had to do were boring, or frustrating, or even painful, they wouldn’t dream of giving up. Their passion was enduring.” – Angela Duckworth

 

Why Is Grit Important?

Grit is a driver of achievement and success that is independent of what talent and intelligence contribute. Everyone can agree that being naturally smart, talented or athletic is awesome, but to truly succeed in all aspects of life, we must possess the ability to persevere. If you lack grit, being smart and talented may simply leave you on the outside of your full potential.

Duckworth’s research shows us that it wasn’t IQ and natural talent that made the biggest difference in who was successful and who wasn’t – it was all about effort. Duckworth came up with two equations to explain this concept:

1. Talent x effort = skill
2. Skill x effort = achievement.

Angela Duckworth explains that talent is how quickly your skills improve when you invest effort. Really, effort counts twice as much for what we want to achieve. Our potential is one thing, but what we actually do with it, is another.

Duckworth explains, “The attraction of thinking that people are gifted or special in a way we aren’t, call it the “X” factor or call it “genius,” is derived from our insecurity, really. Because if I say that Einstein’s a genius, then you don’t have to compete with him because he is not in your category. When you say ‘You know what? A lot of that success comes from dedicated hours of practice and thought,’ then you are a little bit responsible to see how well you can do.”

Duckworth continuously challenges that by having confidence in grit relies on us, as individuals.

 How To Develop Grit?

As mentioned earlier, grit is both a trait and a skill. This means you can still acquire grit over time. It can be taught, and you can train your grit over time.

Here are three ways to develop and strengthen your grit:

1. Embrace challenges and failures that come with passion
2. Join a team
3. Be patient

 

At Black Finch we are, Committed to the Gritty! Join the revolution and stop wearing scrubs and start wearing Black Finch.

5 Habits Of Highly Successful People and How to Incorporate Them Into Your Life

It is safe to say that everyone wants to be successful in life. However, not everyone is quite ready to do what it takes in order to make that happen. At Black Finch, we believe that we have what it takes to be successful and if you’re reading this, you probably do too. If you’re doubting yourself, just understand that you’ve taken the first step in reversing that doubt! 

We’re committed to the driven and strive to create a supportive community that is focused on helping professionals navigate the mental and physical aspects of working in the healthcare industry. With that said, we’ve taken the time to compile information we have learned from books, articles and our own experience. From our research, the list below is of the five most common habits of highly successful people and how you can incorporate those habits into your life.

1. Create A Morning Routine

Successful people start their day by waking up early. It is proven that people who wake up early tend to be healthier, more alert during business hours and have a higher productivity rate than people who oversleep.

Our mornings always start with a workout. At Black Finch we are committed to living healthy lifestyles and continually motivate other to do the same. Exercising is a huge factor in making ourselves successful. It boosts our metabolism, chemically motivates us to eat a healthier diet and kickstarts our productivity for the day.

In a study published in the journal Medical & Science in Sports & Exercise, researchers analyzed the brain activity of women while looking at pictures of food and flowers. Women who exercised for 45 minutes in the morning were less fired up about the food images than those who didn’t work out. In addition, the people who didn’t exercise consumed more food over the course of the day.

After we workout, we begin to review our calendar for the day. The morning gives you time to focus on important tasks while the rest of the world continues to press snooze. It seems counterintuitive because you have just woken up, but our brains are proven to be more alert in the morning than any other time of day.

2. Take Risks & Be Prepared to Fail

Risks involve uncertainty and change. If you have a drive to be more successful, it means that you’re at least partially unsatisfied with your current situation. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, has said, “the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” If you refuse to take risks, you will pass up every opportunity in front of you. 

It is crucial to recognize that failure is not just part of the process. For a highly successful person, it is a stepping stone to success. Most people avoid trying new things because the idea of failure is too much for them to wrap their mind around. Don’t be that person. Remind yourself that failure is powerful and can even be beneficial for you! 

As professionals in the medical industry, we don’t have the option of avoiding risk. Healthcare solutions are changing every day. If we want to keep up with our evolving world, we have to be willing to risk what we know, to learn what we don’t. Even if you fail, you’ll walk away with more experience and more knowledge, which can lead you to further success in other areas of your life and career.

3. Be Purpose-Oriented

Finding a purpose gives a person direction in their life. Without it, you’ll likely end up living in someone else’s dream, while they continue to build success. 

But hey! You’re an individual!

What’s more, you have capabilities within you waiting to be unlocked. Any vision you create in your mind’s eye can become the life you live. In order for this to happen, you need to have a clearly defined purpose- one that you will follow every day. Successful people have clearly defined their purpose in life based on what they want, not on the expectations of others. 

At Black Finch we believe our purpose is to enhance the lives of others. We’ve given everything we have to our professions and now, through Black Finch Scrubs, we have found a way to enhance the lives of the people whose career and purpose is to do exactly that for their patients! 

4. Build Confidence

Confidence is one of the top qualities of successful people across all industries. The truth is, you need to believe in yourself and your abilities long before you’re successful. Most people like to “fake it till you make,” but we don’t want to just “make it.” At Black Finch we prefer to say, “fake it till you become it.” It’s not enough to just merely make it there. We want to fully embody who we are and what we’ve set out to do. 

Confidence is not just a habit successful people practice. It is the state of mind we live in. If you believe it, you can achieve it, but the first person who has to believe it, is you. In fact, confidence has been proven to be the key to career success. 

5. Plan Your Next Day

Most often, highly successful people plan their next day before leaving the office. This allows them to manage their time effectively and continue to stay organized as the day progresses.  Having a list of key items that need to be accomplished can aid in keeping you focused on the task at hand, as lower priority things come up throughout the day.

Because you planned out your day, when you get home you can be present and stop stressing about what needs to get done at work. Even better is that planning out your day will allow you to sleep better! You won’t be worried about all the things you need to get done because you will have allocated time for it already.

As highly motivated professionals we understand the need to prioritize our daily tasks, however, we have moments where the day seems to get away from us because other tasks came up that steal our attention. Click here to learn how to quickly “check in” throughout the day in order to stay focused on the task at hand!

5 Inspiring Commencement Speeches 

A graduation is an exciting time for anyone, but for a medical, dental or nursing student it has a little more emotion behind it. This is where you are finally recognized for the dedication, determination and drive it took for you to tap into your full potential in order to complete the rigorous coursework. At Black Finch we like to say you’ve worked hard, made an impact and embraced the grind in style.

Whether you are in nursing, medical or dental school, you have sacrificed your social life, time with family and the freedom to do what you want, when you want. Now is the time to take what you’ve learned and put it into action. You’re now free to enhance the lives of others on the daily!

As you’re given your diploma and you walk down the aisle to your seat, you’re on cloud nine- just beaming with pride because you’re officially a professional in your field who gets to inspire leadership, health and perseverance! Speeches are given by students, professors and then there is one speaker who is there to simply continue inspiring the drive it takes to succeed, not only in your field, but in life.

Below is a list of Commencement speeches that continually emphasize what we believe in, which is cultivating a community of highly motivated, successful medical professionals.  These speeches remind us that what we have sacrificed to be able to live in this culture every day is it worth it.

Steve Jobs – Stanford, 2005

Steve Jobs said it right!

“Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.”

We wouldn’t be in this field is we didn’t love it. We wouldn’t be in this field if we didn’t expect to fail at some point. The beauty of being in this mentally challenging industry is that we thrive when life hits us on the head with a brick. We think on our feet and we’ve thought through every option and every outcome in order to ensure we stay at the top of our game.

Oprah Winfrey – Harvard, 2013

Get it, girl! You heard it from the Queen herself.

“No matter what challenges, setbacks or disappointments you may encounter along the way, you will find true success and happiness if you have only one goal, there really is only one, and that is this: to fulfill the highest most truthful expression of yourself as a human being.”

Black Finch is committed the driven and we believe that those who are driven and fulfill their purpose, are those who are living in the best version of who they are. In the healthcare industry, we spend a lot of time and energy putting everyone else ahead of ourselves, so it is crucial that we know who we are and what we stand for, so we don’t lose ourselves in our pursuit of helping others.

Admiral William T.H. McRaven – University of Texas, Austin, 2014

In Admiral McRaven’s Commencement speech he talks about making the world a better place. He says that if every individual can change the lives of 10 people within their lifetime, imagine how much better the world would be. We’ve taken this one to heart because we firmly believe that this is possible. We go out every single day with the mindset of helping others. In the medical industry there are days when we get to change the lives of 10 people in one day! There’s nothing more rewarding than knowing you changed someone or the better.

Alan Alda – Carnegie Mellon University, 2015

In his 2015 commencement speech at Carnegie Mellon University, Alan Alda speaks on the impact of uncertainty and how being uncertain will not be your downfall, but your uprising.

Please raise your hand if uncertainty devoured your mind for the majority of med school. Now raise please raise your other hand if you embraced that uncertainty and persevered through the challenges. If you have both hands up go ahead and wave them from left to right and do a little dance because you, my friend, have made it farther than most!

Jennifer Lee – University of New Hampshire 2014

You may not know who this woman is, but you will after this video. She is the CEO of Walt Disney Animations and the writer and director of the Disney hit, Frozen. In her 2014 commencement speech, Jennifer Lee discusses how releasing self-doubt will allow you to grow into the best version of yourself.

Self-doubt will be the kryptonite for anyone in the healthcare field. As medical professionals, we’re lucky. We have been taught to dismiss self-doubt. When the lives of others are literally in your hands, you don’t have the option of doubting anything. You are instinctual. You are logical. You are a doctor.

Black Finch is an organization that is committed to the driven. We believe that success comes to those who are ready to work hard and go all in, in all aspects of life. We know that what we do is not something everyone has the drive to do. We took the time to work our butts off. We chose to enter a field where most fail because our motivation and determination to make an impact on people’s lives overpowered the temptation of a nine to five job.

 

While we were in school, we knew that we wouldn’t be highly rewarded for what we were doing. We knew we wouldn’t even get a comfortable uniform to work in, but we did it anyways because we wanted to positively impact the lives of others. Black Finch exists because to the core of who we are, we believe that in a profession where you enhance lives and even save them every single day, you deserve to look good and be comfortable while you’re doing it. Stop wearing scrubs. Start wearing Black Finch.
