I may not post to Writes Chrissy Treat too often, but Instagram is an easy application that I am constantly sharing my day-to-day fun through. Follow the magic at @chrissytreat !
Here’s a look at my past week on Instagram:
I am now on BlogLovin’ too!

Hello Angels!
I know it has been months since I have posted, but you know what? I’m not sorry. Ya know why? Because I’ve been busy getting things done! I’d hate to bore you, but I am finishing up my [super super transfer] Senior year up in college, and boy has it been an exciting ride! New surroundings are always fun, and this one has taught me quite a bit. I have disciplined myself much more (although procrastination will always remain with my flawed character,) started an awesome internship, and I am currently looking for marketing jobs in a new state. Talk about changes (great changes.)
As my college life fizzles out, and my professional life starts to begin, I would really love to commit to posting more, and seeing how this blog evolves. I will be sharing some outfit posts, but of course a recipe here and there, and definitely sharing my love for beauty products. I am inspired by the writing and talent of beauty bloggers in the UK especially, and I would love to be even a fraction of how helpful they are for my fellow makeup/beauty product lovers here in America.
To start out with these beauty reviews, I’d like to share a product that I have just recently discovered. It has done loads for my mositure-deprived skin in these cold months, and it has definitely balanced my skin tremendously. I use it at night with my hands, and then with my Clarisonic Mia for an exfoliation. Check it out!

This post was not created to serve the purpose of an “I really can’t cook” confession.
When I have the time, the ingredients, and the motivation to cook, I am an excellent cook (I know at least one person who can vouch for that.) The issue always has been that if I have the time to hang out at home, I usually don’t — especially living in a city who’s spring/summer/fall rivals most others.
With far too much out of the house to take advantage of, I try to balance these with being healthy and taking care of my body. Being young with a metabolism that is still kicking, these are the times that are easiest for women to get off track in their eating habits, when we should be refining the best ones now. Sure, I do my vacations right, and don’t ever deprive myself if I have the opportunity to enjoy good food, but sometimes that good food can come from my own kitchen!
I intend on sharing my college survival meals and shopping list for quick, on the go healthy meals, but for now I thought I would share a great recipe of my own for an easy spread. It is packed with protein and nutrients, very filling, and contains everything I need to have energy all day!
Meet Chrissy’s Pumpkin Yogurt Spread !
Ingredients
Simple, right?!
When I make this, I usually mix it up initially in a tupperware container, so I can use the remainder either in my oatmeal or for the same meal later in the week! throw an apple on the side for some extra fiber and energy, or cook up some turkey bacon for extra protein!
With so many unhealthy pumpkin indulgences popping up in fall, we need options to enjoy without indulging! What’s your favorite healthy breakfast?
Enjoy your Tuesday, angels!
big hugs,
Chrissy
Ya know, something about making my very first post for the entire world to have the opportunity to stumble upon is FRIGHTENING, but so so exciting! Let me brief you as much as I possibly can without exposing my personal self to the endless interwebs.
My name is Chrissy, this blog is [mostly] Chrissy, lots of family, some friends, maybe a random bum from time to time, and lots of everyday life. I am a student, an artist, a quirky individual, and an overall happy girl. Raised in the interesting Las Vegas, I am now beginning my journey in my new home (for now) — Chicago — and what a fantastic 7 months it has been so far! I am growing everyday as a mature woman, and enjoying myself as much as a possibly can while exploring a brand new city!
My intent is to reach YOU, and share this wonderful life that I live, whether it be by sharing an outfit, a recipe, or just a story. You are sure to be entertained by something, even if it’s only that you were thankful to have the free time to read it!
I must start by sharing a few pictures of my new journey so far (through Instagram’s eyes.) Enjoy!
