Chit Chat 2

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a lovely holiday yesterday and today! Nick and I are so exhausted but I wanted to have a small chit chat with you before my head hits the pillow. So this past week has been hectic with working 40 hours in 4 days while making sure all the presents were purchased and wrapped, all the cookies, muffins, and cupcakes were baked, iced, and wrapped, and the car was packed before we left.

With all this work there is a wonderful pay off, where for two days we spent every minute with our families who were in the area. After my parents moved down to Florida my friends took me in for the holidays. It started with a good friend and her family taking me on their Christmas adventures to a party and covering whatever we could find in chocolate. And in the morning they would find the pickle hung on the tree, very cute tradition that I won that year.

The next year I had met Nick and we started the tradition of spending Christmas with his parents. Christmas eve was still up for grabs and our friends, Torri and Jon, started hosting a party that has now become another tradition. I always hated traditions and doing the same things year after year with the same people, but now I appreciate the time with people I haven't seen all year and being able to relax, have a drink, and eat some damn good food. So I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday with family and friends, and that you are appreciating that time regardless of what holiday you are celebrating.

There was a look I was hoping to complete and take pictures of before Christmas, but I obviously did not have the time to do that. The idea was for a Candy Cane Queen where it would be more like face paint than makeup, so maybe with my time off tomorrow I can get that up! With the makeup products I've received for Christmas, my wheels are turning for New Years Eve looks! So keep checking back, lots of good stuff on the way! I hope you enjoyed the small chit chat with me and 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
