Fearlessly You with Krystina

I never thought I’d be making a post like this, but I feel like it’s something I NEED to share. ❤️‍🩹

At the beginning of July, I noticed a spot developing on my back. I hoped it was nothing and honestly, I could have easily talked myself into ignoring it.

Then I got the call.

I was told it was pre-cancerous, and hearing those words scared the f**k out of me.

I had SO many questions. What exactly was it? How serious was it? How did this happen?

I was told it was severe and the stage close to the melanoma end of the scale.

Way back when I was in cosmetology school, I learned about skin cancer and the risks associated with tanning beds. But being tan all the time never really interested me, so I always had this mindset that it wouldn’t happen to me.

But it can.

Today, I had the spot removed. I’m incredibly grateful I listened to myself and went to get it checked when I did, and I’m hopeful they were able to fully remove it. 🤍

From now on, I’ll be getting regular skin checks and paying much closer attention to any changes in my skin.

So please, take this as your reminder:

Look at your skin. Notice changes. Get suspicious spots checked. Don’t assume it can’t happen to you.

You don’t have to be someone who tans constantly. You don’t have to think you’re “at risk.” And you don’t have to wait until something looks obviously wrong.

If you’ve been putting off a skin check, make the appointment.

If sharing something this scary and personal encourages even ONE person to get checked and potentially catches something early, it’s worth it. 🫶🏻

As September comes to an end, I wanted to share a message about Su***de Prevention Month. 💜

Five years ago, I almost took my own life.

At the time, I couldn’t imagine my life ever feeling different. All of the pain I was carrying was so heavy I couldn’t see a future worth staying for.

But today, I can honestly say I never could have imagined my life becoming this good. 🥲

It wasn’t easy. Healing took time, a lot of alone time, and a lot of working on myself. There were still hard days, but I kept choosing to stay.

And I’m so grateful I did.🙏🏻

If you’re struggling, please remember that you don’t have to have everything figured out. You don’t have to fix your entire life today. Sometimes you just have to make it through today.🫶🏻

And please check on your people. You can be smiling, functioning, successful, and still be hurting inside. Don’t be afraid to ask someone how they’re really doing.

If you’re the person quietly struggling right now, please hear this from someone who’s been there:

Your story can change.
There are chapters you haven’t reached yet.
People you haven’t met yet.
Memories you haven’t made yet.
Versions of yourself you haven’t become yet.

Please stay long enough to meet them. 💜

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 in the U.S. for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

I’m grateful to be here. And I’m grateful you are, too. 💜

💄✨ I had SO much fun this afternoon! ✨💃

I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with the dancers at The Cardio Club for a little stage makeup fun as they wrapped up dance camp! 🎭💄

I got to demonstrate and teach them some of my tips and tricks for applying stage makeup—and let me tell you, these girls were SO much fun to work with! 🥰

We talked about how stage makeup is a little different from the makeup we wear every day, how to make those beautiful dance features pop under the stage lights, and of course… we had some fun getting glam! ✨

I absolutely love being able to share what I know and help others feel more confident with makeup. Watching them learn, participate, ask questions, and get excited about creating their stage looks was the best part! 💜

Thank you so much to Raegan Reed and The Cardio Club for having me be a part of your dance camp! And to all of the dancers—thank you for making my afternoon so much fun! I hope you’re feeling confident, beautiful, and ready to SHINE on that stage! 🌟

Until next time… keep dancing, keep smiling, and keep being YOU! 💜

Look good. Feel good. ✨

Your brows don’t need to be completely different. They just need to be shaped for YOU. 🫶🏻✨
