⁣Hey 14K! ⠀
⠀
There are tons of new faces around these parts so I thought I’d start the new week with introducing myself once again!⠀
⠀
I’m Crystal, also known as Cryssy to my closest friends. I’m a wife to Mond, a mommy to Kalyn, an educator by day, and a social media influencer and blogger in between all of that! ⠀
⠀
My life is driven by faith. I have a testimony that will blow your mind and I can’t wait to share it with you all. My first love is my family, and fashion is my favorite creative outlet! ⠀
⠀
I love inspiring other women to live the life they want, whatever that looks like! I hope that as you continue to follow my journey you are able to share a laugh, feel connected, and be inspired! ⠀
⠀
Thank you to all 14K of you for joining me on this ride! Tell me one random thing about YOU!

I’m sure like me, you have a ton on your to-do list for the weekend. Here’s FIVE quick tips to maximize your time to get it done! ⠀
⠀
1. Do⠀
2. What⠀

4. You⠀
5. Happy⠀
⠀
I’m running off of an hour and a half of sleep, so that load of laundry, that document for work, and that grocery run can wait until I’ve spent some time recharging and doing something that makes me feel happy. ⠀
⠀
I encourage you to throw out the list this weekend and enjoy yourself a bit. We all deserve it! ⠀
⠀
With that being said, how are YOU spending your weekend? Bonus points if you’re pouring a glass to toast with me!

⁣The Boo Crew!⠀
⠀
Halloween is less than two weeks away, and other than these adorable matching pajamas I’m a little bummed that we can’t participate in our traditional activities. ⠀
⠀
We’ll have to get creative, so I’m thinking a socially distanced trunk or treat for Kalyn, and a costume “party” for our immediate family will do the trick (see what I did there?). ⠀
⠀
How are you taking on Halloween this year? Share some fun ideas for kids and adults with me! ⠀

⁣Wake up Refreshed with Philips Wake-Up Light! [AD]⠀
This new journey of working from home and homeschooling has been quite the adventure for me and Kalyn. We’ve never been morning people, but after a visit to @walmart, we are waking up feeling more energized than ever! ⠀
⠀
We picked up the @philipssleepwellness wakeup lights for myself and my mini me! These aren’t your ordinary night lights. I have trouble falling asleep, so my “mommy” SmartSleep Sleep and Wake-Up Light comes designed to help me fall asleep easier. It also includes therapy and sounds that ensure I wake up feeling refreshed. The Wake-Up Light I selected for Kalyn’s room comes equipped with features that mirror a sunrise, helping her to wake up in a great mood, ready to start her day! Swipe to see what’s got us feeling so great with our new routine!⠀
⠀
What helps you to wake up feeling energized and refreshed? If you need an extra morning boost, be sure to visit Walmart and save on the Philips Wake-Up Light and the SmartSleep Sleep & Wake-Up Light!

I knew I was a real adult when I got excited about choosing new pillows!⠀
⠀
#ad Getting a good night’s rest is apart of my self care routine, and @luxome has taken comfort the the next level with the LAYR Adjustable Pillow. With inserts to adjust firmness and height, as well as Gel-Infused memory foam, #mylayr pillow provides the perfect support for anyone to get a great night of sleep! The inserts can also be adjusted separately by adding or removing fill to fine-tune the firmness and height to find the best fit for your sleeping habits!⠀
⠀
#luxome has thought of it all by ensuring the pillow and inserts are machine washable and have an anti-bacterial & moisture wicking cover. It’s the perfect solution to restlessness, making it a definite win for tired mamas everywhere! ⠀

Being exhausted and burnt out is not a badge of honor that makes you an excellent wife or mother. It simply makes you depleted, and we all know you can’t pour from any empty cup. ⠀
⠀
Back in my young, single days I promised that I wouldn’t get lost in the many hats I wear as woman. Somehow I’ve let that promise slip. So I’m taking heed to my own advice this upcoming week to take some time for ME! ⠀
⠀
Do you schedule time for yourself regularly? When’s the last time you did something for YOU?

⁣Whisper in my ear and tell me you’ll do the chores this weekend. 🤣⠀
⠀
Let’s talk love languages. Initially, I was attracted to my husband because he was a charmer, and my love language at the time was words of affirmation. How times have changed! ⠀
⠀
With time, understanding, and lots of nagging Mond has begun to understand how much acts of service mean to me. Though I didn’t initially marry for partnership, I realize now how important having a partner to do life with is. ⠀
⠀
Cheers to having someone who gets your love language and adapts as it changes. ⠀
⠀
What’s your love language? Has it changed over time?

⁣Happy Birthday To Me! ⠀
⠀
Never could I have imagined that a home would be the birthday gift God had for me this year. ⠀
⠀
When you see the picture, use it as inspiration. If it can happen for me, it can happen for you too. There’s no glamorous story behind it. Just a woman who trusted God and worked REALLY hard to get here. ⠀
⠀
I remember being homeless, living out of an extended stay with my family and not knowing if we’d have enough money to stay the rest of the week. Owning a house is more than just a place to lay my head, it’s breaking generational curses and leaving a legacy for my daughter to witness. ⠀
⠀
Whatever your dream is, know that it’s attainable. There are no limits to what God and determination can do. ⠀
⠀
No need for birthday wishes this year. My heart is full and FINALLY, I am home.
