The End..Or is it?

It's over. It's a little bittersweet. I get to have Coca-Cola again, or any soda for that matter, but I have opened myself up to a whole new world of beverages. Putting importance on water has been the greatest lesson I have learned. Whether that water is infused with fruit, veggies, and spices, or it's sparkling, or even when it's just plain Jane, I've learned it is important to hydrate my body on a daily basis.
 
 
At first I was treating this like a diet, 5 days on and 2 days off, but once I forced myself to incorporate the idea of a life style change is when I realized where this journey and motivation began and I'm not done. If I were to get off now, I won't know where the train was headed. I want to figure out where this is going to take me. Completely reap the benefits of H2O in this world that I have opened myself up to. Coca-Cola is no longer a crutch I need and as funny as it may sound, I could still fall off the wagon. If I try soda again, you will know. For now it is a waste of money and energy to drink so much sugar in one day especially how engerized and amazing I feel after not having a drop for 31 days.
 
 
As Nick has supported me and joined me in this journey, we have been able to create drinks and infused water combinations together and we have loved every minute of it. Plus if it weren't for him, I would have had a Coke by now, if not one everyday. We are leaving for Vacation in a few weeks, and I would love to explore being on Vacation and not allowing ourselves to dive back into sodas. Yet another challenge!
 
 
Although it's a short post and not much of an update, be sure to know, it's not over!
 
 
0 oz. left in my challenge but plenty more to explore, more posts and more challenges!
 
 
Cheers!

March Madness Challenge

I decided I need to make changes in my life. After reading a lot of blogs and spending hours on YouTube, I learned in order to look and feel healthier there is one thing holding me back. This thing I reach for instantly when I wake up. I consume it every day with almost every meal, and in some instances it is the only thing I drink all day. It is my perfect snack. Something I've never left a Wawa without. This crutch that I have given myself over the years is Coca-Cola. I live and breathe the white wave on the front of every bottle. I love the polar bears and own the plush versions of them in two out of the three sizes. I collect Mycokerewards from roommates, friends, family and coworkers. I can rattle off random information about the soda and the company as a whole. My dream kitchen has a retro feel with Coca-Cola accents. And the Coca-Cola Santa is the real Santa. I am an addict. I am addicted to the carbonation tickling my tongue and giving me the everlasting joy I seek in a

Where I've been for 2.5 years

Hey there! I’d like to reintroduce myself, I’m Krystal and welcome to my blog! I am now 28 and still living in the West Chester area with my boyfriend and fur babies (we’ve added another kitty, Callie, to the family since my last post J ). I’m totally still obsessed with binge watching TV shows and keeping my positivity up when I can. Writing has been such a huge part of my life since high school. It was my creative outlet until college where I felt put in a box without being able to speak my truth through each key stroke. So it seemed I needed a purpose for every perfectly structured sentence and I found that I couldn’t perform creatively under those circumstances. I needed an unrefined and unrestricted flow and this is where I found myself. At first, I started blogging to share my wellness journey that I didn’t even realize at the time was the beginning. I wanted to challenge myself to stop drinking Coke and I did it. I shared how drinking more water and no soda started cha

New Years Resolution for 2016

A new year entitles us all to a new beginning. As the year ends, most people like to set new goals and aspirations to make the next year better than the one before and to improve themselves. Last year, I challenged myself to stop drinking soda, something that I am absolutely in love with. Those 30 days were such a struggle and I gained so much support in the process. I have gone back to drinking soda only because the other drinks I replaced it with had just as much sugar, if not more. Now, I honestly drink a lot less. In one night Nick and I could finish off a 12 pack and still need more, whereas now the same amount can last us weeks. I am proud of myself for the progress I’ve made with soda in less than a year. Although I believe I could be healthier, I have decided to take this year to not focus on my appearance. This might sound crazy coming from someone who blogs about using makeup and posts selfies at least once a week, but I like to look at makeup as clothing. I have cloth
