State of the Blog: Bar Exam Respite

Feb 17, 2022

The Bar Exam is next week. It’s been five years since the last time I passed it.  Almost seven years since I took my last law school final.  And I need to study.

Obviously, I’d rather be here, writing about shoes and lipsticks.  But if I fail, I’ll never live down the embarrassment.  See you soon.

xo, Abra

    You are so brave – just the idea of sitting for another bar exam (not to mention all the work while actually working!) is too much for me! Hope everything goes smoothly. You’ve got this!

  11. TheLOOP says:

    Good luck! You got this, lady.

  12. Megan says:

    Best of luck to you! You are a rock star for taking another bar exam. I almost withdrew my application to waive in to the Washington bar when I found out I would have to take the Washington Law Component test, and that’s open book! Taking another bar exam is a whole other level of impressiveness. We’re rooting for you!

    You’ll do great! Sending you our best!

  21. Christine S. says:

    Sending you all the good vibes!!

  22. Wellfedfred says:

    You will be fine. Memory from BAR-BRI: topic was mens rea – example: husband-wife are fighting, he grabs gun, shoots her, she dies.Class discussion ensues. “Yeah, but what if he only wanted to wing her?”

    Sending love & encouragement.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.
