Nobody talks enough about how postpartum can make you feel disconnected from yourself.
Not in a dramatic way. More in a “when was the last time I did something just because I enjoyed it?” kind of way.
These aren’t life-changing things, but they’re small things that help me feel a little more like Crystal again.

What’s something that’s helping you feel like yourself these days?

Mama was looking cuteee this day. Can ya’ll believe that jacket is from @walmart ?? 🤭👏🏽

Day in the life 💖

Still licensed, just no longer seeing clients because juggling two humans and working a conventional job just doesn’t feel realistic for me in this season. 😵‍💫

It was definitely bittersweet saying goodbye to my clients. 🥹

Anywho, come spend a pretty long day with me from 9 AM to 7 PM. Between shooting a family campaign, interviewing a potential nanny, and trying to keep two tiny humans alive, it’s a full one. 🤸🏽‍♀️

Have you ever left a job you loved because it no longer fit your season of life?

The internet said this brush was a game changer for 4C hair… yay or nay? 👀

It’s a YAYYY for me. 👏🏽➰ I’m definitely looking forward to learning more ways to use this @bouncecurl brush to style and define my coils.

I have to say, I love how innovative brands are getting with their hair tools and products, and I especially love that they’re keeping us 4C, coily-haired girls in mind. 🥹

Can’t stop, won’t stop. 🙃 Trying a new style on my 4C natural hair and I must say that with each new style I really am learning what works and what doesn’t. Love that for me. 🤏🏽🤏🏽

What in the shrinkage, because excuse meee??
Some of my goals this year has a lot to do with the health of my hair, growth and working on my hair loss around the temple from pregnancy/ postpartum. Even though a lot of it is hormonal, I am still figuring out what I can do to prevent so much loss and bring in regrowth. Leave all the tips below! My hair needed a good wash, treatment and trim because whew the difference in how it looks and feels is clear. Thanksss @healthyhairloungesalon 🩷

🤭🤭 Ya’ll look at my first time garden. 🥹🥹🥹

The summer I learned to love my natural hair ✨🍯🥹

Not going to lie, I can’t believe I made it this far. 🫣 This journey unlocked something in me and sharing it online unexpectedly made me love creating content even more. Seeing your comments and knowing I’ve inspired even one person has truly been the icing on the cake. During this postpartum season, getting to show up and share this journey has been so refreshing for me personally and creatively.

At this point, it’s OFFICIAL 👏🏽👏🏽 adds “natural hair” to bio 🤭 because I’m still learning, still growing, and definitely not done exploring this side of myself.

Excited for all the styles to come, and grateful you’re here for the journey 🫶🏽

To the girly struggling to see the beauty in her own natural hair, I am rooting for you and I hope my journey can inspire you. 🩷

If trust the process was a hairstyle. 😅😅😅
Whew, I almost threw in the towel because this was kind of intense, but I would 100% do it again for the outcome. What do we think of how it turned out. I think in the future, I would use a lighter weight mousse to get more of a fluffy look and I also need to work on my rolling technique with the rods. I feel like my roots weren’t fully in it. 🫣😆🙃

3 months postpartum with my second little human and instead of trying to control how the journey plays out, I have really been leaning into rediscovering this newer version of myself. Embracing the weight gain, the annoying hair loss from postpartum, life expectations and everything else that comes with it.

I know the time will come to lose the weight, get my hairline back and have a full nights sleep, but that’s just not my life right now, so imma do the BEST with what I got. 👏🏽👏🏽

If you are in the thick of postpartum or any drastic life change and feel very lost due to it all, it does get better. Be patient with yourself and know that I am rooting for you. 🫶🏽
