Birth control update !

 Hey guys !,

Well its been 1 month with the IUD copper T and I have to say I like it, so far so good. The only thing I have to say is that, I am not a happy camper about is the cramps I get mind you I never ever had a problem with cramps, now I do and boy oh boy =[ I ran to CVS to pick me up the biggest bottle of Midol. Another thing is the heavy flow I have. I know these things are to be expected  (geez)  I miss the days were I only had a 4 day period and it was not even that heavy this last period was heavy and lasted 6 days reminded me when I was in my teens I had it for 7 days.. oh well you take the good with the bad and I have to say I would much rather have these side effects than the ones I had with the  Nuvi Ring . I have no anxiety and no depression and that in itself is just wonderful. Life seems to be as normal as its gonna get ! and well I feel great about my decision  lets hope my 90 day update is just as good as this 30 day one...

Until next time =]
xoxo

Fall into a season of change

It has been quite awhile since I have done a personal update. Lots have changed for me in a short amount of time I know in my last post I had a feeling I was going through some new changes and I have. New job actually 2 jobs  I was hired at one and shortly after offered a better one which I took. Shortly after taking it I was swamped with calls for interviews why does that happen. When you have no job its so hard to get 1 then when your employed the flood gates for other possibility's open up. Never the less I am so happy with the direction my life is heading and all the hard work is starting to pay off. This is defiantly my season for career haven't master the love part yet but who is even stressed about that. I think the only thing I miss about a relationship is having that one person to go to ,the cuddling and the intimacy other than that I am pretty okay with being single.Okay enough of all that blabber ..... FALL is here which mean new fashion and cooler weather how awesome is that. I am officially over summer and glad it gone by by you wont be missed .....  So what I'm I excited for  lets see  CUTE TOPS JEANS PURSES AND CUTE BOOTS......  and this includes  Ugg boots yes I have a love hate relationship with them like  most California girls do !  I hope that this season you too enjoy the changes that Fall equinox brings to your life's. I know I am excited about my own and have prayed for the day that I move into a new path.  What are you excited about this fall ???? whats on your fashion wish list , or what change do want to happen ???

The Role Of Internet Shopping

The Role Of Internet Shopping

Internet shopping is fast becoming the new way to buy; regardless of whether you wish to spruce up your home or wardrobe. The World Wide Web is home to a variety of online department stores, many of which boast an array of on-trend attire.

As well as an assortment of the latest trends, online department stores boast the likes of electrical goods, furniture and technology.
Home shopping allows those with hectic lifestyles to shop at a time that is suited to them: gone are the endless queues, the traffic jams and the rush to meet closing times with a calm and pleasant experience left in its stead.

Convenience

One of the many virtues of online shopping is the fact that it is extremely easy. Simply fill your basket with anything that tickles your fancy and review each and every piece at the checkout before processing payment.

Many online stores boast next day delivery as well as a huge amount of choice. Often things you see in store may not be to your taste or size but online stores house a huge selection meaning there is sure to be something that is perfect for you.

ncentives

Just as land-based department stores house a variety of customer incentives and attractive sales, so do online boutiques. Some of these incentives come in the shape of ‘buy now, pay later’ schemes: great news for those that wish to invest in something a little special before payday.

Another incentive promised by many home-shopping sites includes free returns. If something doesn’t fit, simply post it back free of charge and reclaim your money.

This is a great option considering that you can’t physically try on your purchased garments until they arrive – although the invention of virtual changing rooms has helped to offer online shoppers a bigger window into what goods will look like once they are brought home.

Updated

Another benefit of online shopping is that, thanks to the instantaneous nature of the internet, information is constantly being updated. Those that wish to be informed of new and exciting trends will more than likely have access to a home shopping blog and forum. Such tools will allow the viewer to chat with other individuals and learn of the many new and exciting fashions currently available.

Those who still prefer the physical approach of shopping can always order a catalog from online retailers and browse through glossy pictures to their hearts content before placing their order.

Seasons change

Wow so much has happened  with in the last month.Its like I feel the wave of change in so many ways.. I wont get into many details, but I will say I ended a relationship that just wasn't going anywhere , got a new car well a new used car started school, and I just feel so many good things are yet to come. But why does it feel so weird ..   I cant even put it in to words, I changed my hair color YAY ! no more damn "RED HAIR" that took so much  to keep up ugh .

My Life with the Nuva Ring

I can even begin to explain how this birth control has effected my life and, I didn't see all the side effects at once. In fact I seen them all slap me in the face on day and I was in a farther rut and state of depression than I realized.



I started Nuva Ring back in the beginning of September  of 2011. I saw no side effects what so ever I felt fine and life carried on. Life shows up and problems arise like always but I started to notice my reaction to those problems was not how I would normally approach situations. January 2012 I started to notice my moods change I went from hot to cold to up and down. Again I didn't think it could be the birth control just thought I was under stress and it shall pass.. I then started noticing my mood become even worst very high levels of extreme depression were I didn't even want to get out of bed let alone take a shower. I also started noticing  fits of extreme insecurity's horrible thoughts and my mind obsessed over the littlest things. I also became very emotional and cried for no reason. Again I knew something was wrong but didn't think it was the ring. Until one day I woke up feel very anxious I felt like jumping out of my own skin and screaming my heart raced and I felt lots of anxiety every day i would feel like this. I woke the hell up because I knew in my heart that something is very wrong and I was not feeling like myself. I cant even begin to describe that feeling of horrible "dark" depression and anxiety I felt like my body and moods weren't my own if that makes any scenes.  I found my self in a desperate state of fear and found myself sitting in a urgent care clinic seeking some kind of help for this I talked with a pysch about what was going on and he suggested I take the ring off. He also prescribed a very low dose of anti depressant to help stabilize my mood. It has been a little over a month since seeking treatment and taking out the ring and i have felt better in this short time than i have felt the whole time I was on nuva ring.

I was very aware of the side effects before using this type of birth control I researched  everything and I had chosen this one because of the fact it had less hormones in it. But nothing is always like you read and it effects every one differently. All I can say is I am so glad I am off of this birth control . I went on forms to seek out if other women had the same side effects and sure enough I wasn't alone. I am so glad I wasn't the only one. It also took a tole on my relationship with my boyfriend  with my up and down emotions. Grateful he was very supportive and concerned just as much as I was.

I am telling you my story because I dont want anyone else to feel their alone when it comes to things like this also I do not recommend it what so ever.I know every women reacts differently  like I did in the beginning I was fine  but it turned me into a damn monster....

I personally I'm not ready to have any more kids at the present time . I was also looking into the 'Cooper T" that has no hormones in it and after doing research most women prefer it than any other birth control method out there again I no it does increase bleeding and cramps . I have an appointment to talk with my Doctor about this method  so ill keep you posted . I am just so glad I feel like myself again . It sucks being a women sometimes .

I guess the only side effect I did enjoy was the decrease appetite (hahah) but I dint enjoy the nausea  feeling I got after I ate =[

Life feels normal again thank god and I feel normal as well  I will never put myself through that again it was just a big nightmare ..
Thank you for letting me vent about this and if there is anyone suffering from the same symptoms I suggest you take out the ring and see your doctor because this can really lead to some one to  flying off the coo coo's nest. But seriously I do advise you to remove it . I wouldn't want anyone to harm them self in any way because of horrible thought.

Hope you ladys are having an amazing weekend as I am

xoxo Lots of hug
Crystal

Designer spotlight Marc Jacobs Obsessed !



Summer obsessed with Neon colors.They remind me of when I was young growing up in the 80s my mom used to dress me in the funkiest neon attire. Funky for me at a early age I later started taking a liking to them; and we always see trends coming back so having the splash of neon anything just makes me smile and this Marc Jacobs is to dye for sighs like I have said before a girl can dream right.  I also just feel in love with this cute Marc By Marc Jacobs Henry watch isn't she adorable I must have her I'm saving my $ to own her very soon . Funny story when I was younger my mom used to buy me really expensive watches every 2 years for my birthday back then in the 90s I knew nothing about very high end things like I do today but what was really the " in" thing  back then was 'Guess" watches and I use to score on those watches. Now I'm all grown up and have to flip the bill for my high end thing  (wishes I was still a kid )  My last obsession are these "Cat eye" Marc Jacobs  glasses  I love the vintage era of the 50's and 60's  women looked so refined back then with hats, gloves, and very lady like dresses. I own so many cat eye glasses and I would love to own these Marc. Jacobs ones ,  take a look below of how "Obsessed I am with cat eye glasses I know I could rock the hell out of those Marc Jacobs ones. Wouldn't you agree?

Point Proven (hahah)  so I leave you with some of my summer favorites accessory ! High end style

I am dying to know just what are some of your Favs this summer ????  comment below
