Cancun Mexican Restaurant | Paw Paw, MI

December 15, 2017 by Chrystal Leave a Comment

So, here’s the thing. If you go back through some of my older reviews of Mexican food, you will see that I have not had the best of luck with the Mexican food here in the state of Michigan.

Little bit of a background, I promise I will try to keep this as short as possible. I spent the majority of my life in Oklahoma. Some consider it the south, some don’t. Either way, there is a very large Mexican community which crosses over the Tex-Mex life. Mexican food down that way is very different from the Mexican food up this way. [Read more…]

Celebrating Birthdays | When Things Don’t Always Go As Planned | Bowling Green, KY

August 13, 2017 by Chrystal 41 Comments

This year has been full of ups and downs and my birthday proved to be no exception. What was supposed to be an elaborate trip, with many people in Nashville, Tennessee turned into 2 people heading down to Bowling Green, Kentucky. At the beginning of the year, a group of friends and myself had made plans for a summer gathering, which happened to fall on my birthday. Sadly, as the months went by a few of those friends had severed ties and went about their lives. I’m no stranger to people walking away, it’s just the name of the game in life sometimes.

Project Semicolon | Warrior Tattoo | Electric Chair - Clio, MI | Nevermore Lane

As most of you know, I suffer from mental illnesses, something I have been battling for most of my life. In 2010 I did the chest tattoo as a reminder that my life is worth living no matter how hard I struggle. I put it there, so every morning I was reminded to keep going. The piece is a combination of song lyrics that helped me get through some dark depression and suicidal thoughts. [Read more…]

Getting Pierced | Electric Chair Tattoo: Flint, MI

Sometimes you just have to do the things. I haven’t been feeling myself lately and I am not sure why. Stress? Life in general?

I spent last year pushing through life obstacles and kicking ass. This year, it has just been one thing, after another. I know we all have those moments in life and you just have to be a boss and handle your stuff. I like to think I am doing okay in that department even if it’s taking me a little time to do that.

A Damn Warrior : February & March 2017 Fun Run 5k plus The Raven 55 mile #FRBChallenge

March 13, 2017 by Chrystal Leave a Comment

February is here and gone. I have no idea where that month went. Wait! Yes, I do. I spent my days filled with worry and maybe a little regret over someone I had recently let into my life. I have absolutely nothing bad to say, but, there is still a lot of confusion at hurt there and until that passes, it’s better than I just leave it alone for a while.

Having said that, do not fret friends, as the saying goes, “when one door closes, another opens” and this is no different. [Read more…]
