NYX Store Opening in Stonebriar Mall

Last week, I got the opportunity to check out the NYX store opening at my local mall. Since I am an NYX fan, I was super excited to check out the new store. I think that having an NYX store is a cool concept since it's hard to find the popular products at Ulta, Target, and CVS.

March Health and Fitness Goals

Here we are in the third month of the year. My muscles are used to working out and I am not as sore as I once was. Speaking of muscles, my muscles are starting to come in. My leg muscles are popping and I’m starting to look toned. If I keep up the work, I’ll be ready for spring/summertime soon! Now that I am blogging, I have changed my workout routine. I used to work out for an hour and a half, now I work out for 40 minutes to an hour. I run on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and weight train on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This not only gives me time to blog but I also get home at a decent hour.

7 Awesome Brown Girl Friendly Foundations

3 Protein Bars That Don't Suck

Protein bars are a convenient way to get your protein on the go but let’s be honest, most protein bars suck. A good percentage of protein bars on the market have a ton of sugar in them and that’s not good. For instance, a Clif Protein Bar contains 21 grams of sugar. 21 grams of sugar?!? You might as well eat a candy bar.

My Bucket List

After creating my 2017 resolutions, I realized that I have never physically created a bucket list.

9 Must Have Nail Polishes For Spring

Hello, my name is Krystle and I have a nail polish addiction and I am not ashamed. I own so many nail polishes that I have lost count. It has been a while since I have gotten my nails done and I have to say that I miss having my long cat claws. I am a lover of dark nail polishes but this year I want to step out of my comfort zone and start wearing brighter colors especially since spring is right around the corner. Here are 9 nail polishes gorgeous that are perfect for the spring time. 

Dealing with Depression

I was in my second year of college when I realized that I had depression. For as long as I can remember, I always had an apathetic attitude towards life. I never thought about it as a symptom of depression. I kept my emotions to myself because my family viewed my apathetic attitude as a "teenager mood" and I would get over it.

Dealing with depression is one of the hardest things I have to deal with. If you were to ask me to describe how depression feels, I would tell you that depression is like being locked inside of a windowless room that you cannot get out of. Depression is crippling. Physically, mentally and emotionally crippling. Depression puts a pause on your life.

February Fitness Goals

I cannot believe January is over! It is crazy how time files. I am proud to say that I have survived my first month of working out. January has really been a game changer for me. My health has improved in such a little time. I feel healthier, my stress levels are down and I have more energy than I have had before. The focus of January was all about building endurance. I created a workout schedule that works around my time. I work out five days out the week for an hour. If I can’t workout five days out the week, I’ll try to do three days out the week.

Happy New Year! 2016 has been a year filled with ups and downs. I spent the first half of 2016 stressed out and riddled with anxiety.

While I am not big on creating resolutions for the New Year, this year I decided to change it up and do something different. Here’s what I'm going to work on in 2017:
