Welcome!

If you’ve been looking for a space that is equal parts messy reality, deep faith, and finding joy in the little things, you are exactly where you belong. I decided to start Authentically Cryssie because life is a wild ride, and I wanted a place to share the journey—completely unfiltered and close to my heart.

To kick things off, here is a little look at what keeps my world spinning (and what you’ll find here):

• The Twin Life Chaos: Life as a mom is always an adventure, but navigating the world of twins? That is a whole different level of joyful chaos! It’s loud, it’s busy, and it requires a massive dose of grace, patience, and humor.
• The Bariatric Journey: My health journey has been a deeply personal evolution. Navigating life after bariatric surgery has completely changed my relationship with food, wellness, and self-care. I’m all about celebrating the victories, sharing what actually works, and staying healthy for the long haul.
• Powered by Coffee & Christ: My faith is my absolute anchor, and honestly, coffee is my fuel! I am blissfully addicted to a good brew—whether it’s a giant morning French press or an iced latte recipe. You can absolutely expect plenty of coffee love here.
• Healthy, High-Protein Eats: Because of my bariatric lifestyle, I’m always experimenting with nutrient-dense, high-protein recipes that actually taste amazing (and yes, that includes protein-packed coffee creations!).

• A Total Hello Kitty Obsession: Yes, I am a grown adult with a deep, unapologetic love for Hello Kitty. If it has a little red bow on it, chances are I own it, love it, or am currently trying to buy it!

So if you’re keeping score, that’s: Christ, Coffee, Chaos, and Hello Kitty.

Let’s connect! Whether you are a fellow coffee addict, navigating your own wellness journey, or right in the thick of parenting chaos, I want this to be a space for all of us.

Drop a comment below and introduce yourself! Tell me: What is your absolute go-to coffee order, or what kind of healthy recipes would you love to see me share first? I can’t wait to chat with you all in the comments!

With love and grace,

Cryssie ☕️🙏✨🎀🐱🤪
