Masks are a funny thing to review because you never know if something worked until way after the fact. I'm talking usually within a day or sometimes a week. You need to see how your face reacts to it, if there are any funky ingredients you didn't realize you were allergic to, and if it's a brand you'll keep using. Sometimes, 24 hours isn't enough to make

Hi, I'm Crystal! Mother of 1 human, 3 cats, and a glorified housewife to a fantastic man. Let's have fun and enjoy life together!
I'm not sure if I posted this recipe before but I have to say when some things are made accidentally, they can sometimes be the best results.
Last Thanksgiving as I was preparing a meal for my family, I decided to make collard greens. I haven't made collard greens in forever and I legit forgot how much time it takes. Between the washing and soaking (and more washing and soaking),
It's funny how life can sometimes do a complete 180.
You never quite know where you'll finally end up. You don't know the many twists and turns life will take you. Something you once thought was in the bag, may not be so secure, after all. Life is funny that way. No matter how much you use your planner, how predictable and mundane your routine is, you can never be
I decide to switch up the vegan posts a little but venturing outside of my comfort zone and going to a vegan restaurant. I've been to vegan restaurants before and I've enjoyed them. However, vegan restaurants can often be a hit or miss. Some have their flavoring down to a science and some should pick up a seasoning book, but I digress.
So, I've heard a lot about one of
I really don't talk about my family for a variety of reasons. Mainly because there isn't that much to say. I'm the youngest of four, have two parents, and several nephews with one lone niece.
Over the weekend, my father was honored as a Civil Servant for the annual Black History Gala in Palm Springs, my hometown. My dad and I have had a very complicated relationship which I'll talk
All right, so I'm on the search of better face products. Not that the ones I've been using aren't bad - Noxzema, and Neutrogena have helped me clear my skin for years. However, I like to switch up things every now and then.
Checking out the reviews of my fave store, Sephora, I came across Olehenriksen face cleansing system. Yeah, I can't pronounce the name so don't bother to ask
Who said I was sane???? LMAO. No seriously, as I began this serious journey, I decided early on, āIām a brand. You will find me everywhere with my ideas on everything. Like Kim K, without the porn tape and cosmetic work done on her, but more talent."
For this week's Mommy interview, I spoke with one of my oldest and closest friends, Ricci Bester-Adams. It's difficult to describe Ricci without
And I totally came up with it!
I love making homemade spaghetti sauce for the simple fact it's healthier and I know what's in it. Nothing against those who buy the store kind (that's good, too), but you know when you make something homemade, you didn't put any extra preservatives and other crap in it. You know it's fresh and hopefully, yummy.
So, I usually make the spaghetti sauce with the
It's been a while since I've done a makeup review, so let's kick this year off right with a product from E.L.F.
E.L.F. stands for Eyes, Lips, Face (clever!) and while they're still considered to be a small brand, they have exponentially grown in size and popularity! I decided to test drive their brown sugar lip exfoliator:
Now, it's supposed to help exfoliate and soften your lips prior to applying your
Last week, we went on a family vacation to the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway in my hometown. Maks and I were there before as an unmarried couple with no children, so it was nice to go there with Bear. It was also our first time going there when it snowed.
Going up the tram was crazy. There are five towers and each time we passed a tower, we did a
