Hot Pink Pin-Up

Last year for Halloween, Nick and I went to a party as Jack & Coke. For the Coke costume, I went with simple pin up makeup with a barrel roll bang and curls all over. I wanted to recreate this look by using various hot pinks. Normally it is a bit taboo to wear the same color on your eyes and lips, but half the fun of makeup (especially for Halloween) is coloring outside the lines sometimes! So with this look, I am not playing by the rules and in my opinion it still looks classic and fun without being overly dramatic! Let me know what you think!

I remember the hair being a lot easier to do last year, but that could have to do with having shorter hair now.  It was quick to curl since you only have to curl the ends and dirty hair is way easier to work with for this type of style. I used about 12 bobby pins all together not including the decorative bling bobby I got from a 3 pack at CVS. The earrings, including the cuff, are from Old Navy last Christmas. The two pictures of the birds-eye view of my hair were both taken outside for the better lighting, so the color may seem a little off.

Hair

Conair Teasing Brush

This look has infinite possibilities for color choices and hairstyles, so have some fun with it if you are going to do some pin-up this Halloween or just for fun! I have a few more Halloween ideas in mind before it arrives, so please keep checking back every other day for updates! 

Thanks so much for reading!

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
