Chrystyn's View

Hey y'all! So I know I have been MIA and will probably still remain that way for another week thanks to my old roommate being unable to return my calls (long story). But I wanted to vent a little. I recently started dating someone. While it is feels so weird for me to call someone a boyfriend again, the idea of me being in a relationship is not lost upon those from my past or friends currently in my life. While I could go on and on about how weird this transition has been, I wanted to talk about women. It is amusing to me how a woman can completely disregard and disrespect a man's girlfriend for her own bullshit reason. I don't understand why you want a man to cheat on his woman with you? First you would just be second rate and secondly what makes you think that you would be any different that he wouldn't disrespect you? My guy and I haven't even been together that long and already I have girls bein' a little to ballsy when they address my boyfriend. ...

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...

Wish List Wednesday 10/4/17

It seems like the only posts I can push out before my internet decides to betray me are my wish lists. However, I have a few posts I am working on and will have the up this week. Also, if you weren't aware, the link to all of these products are in the subheadings if not in the description. With that said, let's get started on this week's wish list... Lucky Break Olive Oversized Jacket from Lulus I stumbled across this jacket on my Pinterest feed and immediately fell in love. First off, my favorite color is green (in most shades) and I love a good jacket. With us moving back to the mainland, where there are actual seasons, I am excited for layers. I love the fact that when you scroll to the bottom of the page, there is a detailed description of size. Even better, the reviews that show the buyer's measurements so you can compare. While I'm sure my husband won't love the $62 price tag, I feel like that is nothing for a good,...

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...

Dupe List: MAC's Ambering Rose and Lorac's Hollywood

So I went by the MAC counter today looking for Dolly Mix. Unfortunately, they were sold out so I just lingered around to see if anything else caught my eye. I picked up several but was instantly drawn to one, Ambering Rose. It was beautiful. Almost as if NARS Taj Mahal and MAC Coopertone could have a baby, then Ambering Rose would be the offspring. It is a beautiful burnt orange/brown color with shimmer. Very flattering for darker skin tones. But once I got in the car, I started to realize the swatch on my hand looked really familiar. Then it hit me, it looked a lot like Lorac's Hollywood blush. As soon as I got home, I pulled the Lorac blush out of it's draw and swatched it. The two looked too close. Hollywood has a bit of a more brassy orange color to it than Ambering Rose, but at certain angles...........they might as well be the same. I love my Hollywood blush and while Ambering Rose is a deeper color, there was no ...
