Chrystyn's View

Follow my blog with Bloglovin It has been an interesting week thus far. Some ups and downs but I have made it to another Wednesday. A few things have sparked my interests this week, so here is what I am wishing for: Notched Collar Plaid Skirt Coat I mentioned last week that I love a good coat. So of course with fall being here and a move on the horizon, I have been looking at more fall/winter items. This particular coat popped up on my Pinterest feed. Before we moved, I had a plaid coat that I left behind at my parents house. I later found out that my mother got rid of it. Needless to say, I was less than pleased with the news. But I love the design of this jacket and the price is pretty nice. Unfortunately, it seems there is only a limited quantity and my current body measurements don't fit into the available sizes. So maybe this will make it into my shopping cart once I drop some of this Hawaii weight. ...

God, Homosexuality, Rape, and Murder

So I recently received two new comments on a video I have on YouTube. I saw these messages after, I got a loooooooooooong detailed message in my inbox about homosexuality and God allegedly hating gays. Now I respect your opinion as long as you don't insult me and you TRY to be intelligent about it. The message I got was more intelligent than the actual comment one of the users posted. Both comments stated the most ridiculous comparisons. First, they stated that there was no such thing as "bi-curious" or "bi-sexual". Fine, I can understand that, for I know a lot of people don't think there is such a thing. However, they went on to compare homosexuality and bi-curiosity to violent crimes such as murder and rape. What the fuck is wrong with you!? To compare a victimless act to horrendous crimes is disgusting. As a Christian, I know that homosexuality is considered wrong. However, I have plenty of friends who are homosexual. God tells us to love one a...

Empties: Lush's R&B Hair Moisturizer

A couple of months back, I decided to take my friend Dorian to our local Lush store. I've been curious to try some of their products lately, so I figured why not make it part of our day out. I scanned the shelves and counters looking for a product to try but I am not going to lie, the prices humbled my spending desire. Initially, I settled on the H'Suan Wen Hua for my hair, but after speaking with the sales associate I decided to go with the R&B Hair Moisturizer . According to the website , it is supposed to "revive and balance misbehaving hair." So I used the R&B for my twist outs after washing my hair and applying leave-in conditioner. Now, I won't lie, $25.95 for only 3.5 ounces was hard to swallow. I mean seriously, I feel like I have too much hair for that! When I did use the product I used it sparingly. Surprisingly, a little went a long way. There is a bit of a scent, which I usually don't care for perf...

Wish List Wednesday 9/6/17

It is Wednesday and my wish list has only grown. With a move on the horizon, quite a few of my upcoming wishes involve activities and places in Hawaii. Now let's kick of my wish list for the week! Staycation at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa Aulani is located in Ko'Olina, about 20 minutes from my house. Now you may ask why this is on my wish list when I already reside in "paradise" and this place is only a short drive from my home? It is simple: Aulani is a nice break from reality. The view is gorgeous and they are known for their amazing pool, which is like a mini water park. I want to experience as much of the tourist side of Hawaii as I can while on the island and staying in a nice hotel is one. The price is a bit high, hence why this is on my wish list. We have done the character buffet breakfast a couple of times, now I want to take a little "staycation" there. They offer cheaper week day rates on their rooms, ...

Dove Fails Again.....Or Did They?

Unless you are fortunate enough to live under a rock, I am sure you have seen the latest racial controversy brought to us by Dove. A couple of days ago, the above picture frequently popped up in my news feed on Facebook. From this picture alone, it is easy to tell why many black people would be outraged. It looks as if washing yourself with Dove body wash will turn you from a "dirty" black woman to a "clean" white woman. I mean seriously......WHAT THE FUCK!? The controversy only seemed to gain momentum when people dug up an old ad from 2011. The ad was supposed to show the before and after of one's skin when using their product Visiblecare Creme Body Wash. Unfortunately, people felt that the order of the women (black, latina, and white) was some sort of subliminal message from the company about ethnic skin. Dove issued a statement during that controversy: “We believe that real beauty comes in many shapes, sizes, colors and ages an...
