Here is a link to what I ate:

Honestly,it really made me learn which foods contain animal products.  For example,when I went into restaurants, I ordered these noodles that seemed innocent.  Since I had the conscience about not eating eggs or dairy,I found out that these noodles contained eggs!  I could just taste it and researched that it did contain eggs.  Another tragic thing includes the fact that so many snacking products contain milk. From crackers to pretzels,there were so many products to avoid.  I felt content for the most part but I did do quite a lot of binge eating.  Since vegans require a larger consumption of food,I ended up eating a regular amount for meals which wasn't enough. Overall, I felt lighter and happier while being proud to tell my friends about this challenge.  Thank you for reading! :)

ONE MONTH VEGAN CHALLENGE | Week 1 Results | Simply Krissy

It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be.  The only time I found myself craving and feeling sad is when I passed by grocery stores and any places with food. Overall,it wasn't even that horrible.  I ate really unhealthy though for some of the days so I need to change that in Week 2. Here is a vlog of what I ate!

Vegan Challenge

One Month Vegan Journey Challenge Introduction | Simply Krissy

Hey bloggies!

That sounds so cute haha.

Today I've decided I was done with binge eating tons of junk and unhealthy foods. Eating entire pizzas by myself and chip bags. I am completely done with feeling sick to my stomach and feeling bad about myself. Recently,I've heard in the news that going cold turkey is much more helpful than gradually becoming or transitioning into something.  That made me reminisce on the time when I became vegetarian. I've wanted to become vegan for the longest time and that one night I just thought that I would try being a vegetarian since veganism was way too big of a jump for me at that time. So the next day I rejected all the meats that I loved that came my way and ordered the veggie option in resturants.  It was extremely hard but I did it.  Even though you are vegetarian, that really doesn't take away all the unhealthy junk foods out there.  Now several months later,on October 7,2016 I have a new goals. Healthy Veganism. Not junk food veganism with vegan cake,chips and Oreos,I mean real healthy foods.  Don't get me wrong though,I probably love cheese and eggs more than the next guy.  Even with this love,I've  decided I will try this for exactly one month. Since I've eaten an extremely large amount of EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY foods today,I will start tomorrow. I am not stating that eggs and cheese are unhealthy. I am stating that I eat the unhealthy things that they are put in. An example is eggs:omelette with an extreme amount of oil or milk:cheese on a pizza.  So therefore,this will be exactly one month where I try this(October 8,2016-November 8,2016).  Keep in mind that October 31st is Halloween and even though I don't trick-or-treat,they may be provided in parties or friends. That means I have to avoid all the free chocolate which is my WEAKNESS. :(

Along to this healthy eating goal,I will also exercise every single day. I am planning to get a lot of protein in since I stocked up my freezer with tofu and I feel like I will have lots of energy since I am buying much more vegetables and fruits.  With these in stock,hopefully I will have the motivation to exercise everyday.  My true goal is to do running(cardio) with muscle training workout like ab workouts!  I REALLY WANT A 6-PACK! :D

On a small note,a decision has been made to bring a water bottle wherever I go.  I've come to realize that I end up buying many plastic bottles since I am dehydrated from thirst all the time which is silly.  Therefore,I will make sure to carry a bottle everywhere!

My true goal from this is to feel happy,healthy and to get fit.  I thought about my extremely unhealthy lifestyle and realized how short life is.  Why would I waste my life by wasting money on unhealthy food that is not instaworthy?(Just kidding haha,I'm weird) :P) Why would I want to not do exercise and get more fit just because of laziness? Why would I want to look back to the past and wish I wouldn't have eaten cake everyday of my life? My goal is to look back in the past and feel great. To feel amazing in the present. And to feel outstanding in the future.  Genuinely,there is a really strong will and hope that I will be able to accomplish this. I feel like no one will care about this XD but I do! <3

I will try my best to document weekly with a blog and vlog post of anything related to the challenge.  I will not be fake and untruthful and not post the unhealthy snacks or meals because they will all be included.  My exercise will also be documented too even if I didn't do it.  This is going to be a 100% raw and real experience and I'm so excited to share it with you. I really hope you are interested even if you probably aren't but I will try my best! 

If there is a will,there is a way.🌟-Dad

How to get really long eyelashes | Simply Krissy

I have always dreamed about having really long eyelashes.  Latisse,eyelash serums,eyelash extensions... are all amazing but you can obtain those gorgeous eyelashes with just one solution... castor oil. <3 I've stated in a previous article about castor oil but it is from castor beans and have made my eyelashes grow a lot longer. Make sure to use hexane free cold pressed castor oil or Jamaican black castor oil.  They are really easy to find on amazon for under $15. This is the one I bought: Amazon Castor Oil
Basically, all you have to do is take a Q tip or a clean mascara brush and dip it into you castor oil.  After that you simply apply it to your eyelashes.  Make sure to not get it too close to your eyelashes or it could get into our eye which is uncomfortable.  A tip that I found out myself is to curl your eyelashes before doing so because if not, a fraction of your vision will be the oil.  I try to get myself to put it on every single night and it has done a great difference. Good luck to those lashes! <3

How to remove BLACKHEADS | Simply Krissy

Blackheads. BLACKHEADS! Those annoying tiny black dots on noses.  They have annoyed me in the past and I really wanted them gone.  After a bit of research,these are the few ways I've heard of to get rid of blackheads.  They truly worked for me if you keep doing it. :)

Elmers School Non-Toxic Glue:The Glue

What a weird thing to put on your nose right?  As long as you get the school non-toxic version,it should be safe.  What you do is...
1. Grab a face wash towel and soak it into warm/hotter water and put it on where you want to remove the blackheads.  This will open up your pores.
2.Apply a generous coat of glue onto wherever you have those unwanted blackheads.

3.The glue should start adhering to the blackheads.

4.Wait until the glue is completely dry and then peel off the glue.

5. Some of your blackheads should be gone.

6. After, you can do it as many times as you want but I would splash my face with cold water so you close your pores and nothing else gets trapped in the open pores.

There is another solution I have which is the charcoal blackhead mask: Blackhead Set

Many people create their own but I just bought the kit because knowing me,it probably wouldn't turn out right. :P  You basically do the same thing with the instructions above.

I've been told that you can also use an egg with the same instructions but I've never tried that.

Good luck with those blackheads!
