I am back!



I know it has been a hot minute since I have brought you any updates on my progress, health, and my Coke addiction (Coca-Cola for those of you just tuning in). I have decided to keep this blog alive and well but I want to make a few changes. The plan is to show you me and all of what I have to offer.  What I have learned in my 25 years may not seem like much, but I believe I have a good bit of information to bring to the table.


After successfully completing the March Madness Challenge back in March, my skin was at its prime, I started losing weight, I felt healthier, and I started feeling more comfortable in my own skin as I progressed out of this challenge. I was told by friends that it was inspirational to read my view on tackling something no one thought I could do. I want you to feel like this. Now, my twist is I want to show what I do to keep myself feeling beautiful - inside and out by sharing what I do to feel like the best version of myself.


This may seem like just another beauty blog out there, and at times it may be, but I hope that my reviews, opinions, humor, and tutorials can bring a little spice of Krystal in your life you didn't realize you were missing. I want you to feel beautiful, whether you are cooking up something fantastic for dinner or you're attempting a fierce wing with a new eye liner (still working on that, btw). Sharing a little piece of me for the sake of inspiring another man or woman to be themselves is the main reason for continuing this journey.


Even though the path has changed, I hope you will stay with me to enjoy the ride!

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
