Putting Your Best Hat Forward

Putting Your Best Hat Forward

Hey everyone “whats happonin hot stuffs” (another reference to one of my all time favorite movies 16 Candles for if you haven’t seen it, it IS a must?) Also a shout out to one my greatest college buddies Angelo, or as I call him Annnggaaaee…This is how we bonded watching this movie and you know how you always tend to repeat a certain dialogue over and over like a record skipping ha (like currently for me “Girl has no name”…. or  “Shame, shame, shame”…ha reference to Game of Thrones AMAZING I highly recommend you watching it, for it is amazing) that one iconic saying has forever stuck with us and that is how we greet each other 25 years later no less…Anyhow this is blog #what? Ha And honestly who cares..The point is, it’s now officially more than a few..…. and yippy freaking skippy ki yay for me…For I am so excited for myself, that I want you to imagine me jumping in air, with me clicking my feet together saying “there’s no place like home”..(Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz )… because that is what I just envisioned of myself doing..In fact, I am going to birth my “said” envision and do it RIGHT NOW!!…Boom shakalaka just did it…In fact I want you all to join in on doing it with me…Come on now 1…. 2…. 3….JUMP and click..Now, my spidey senses tell me that some of you didn’t do it, but that is ok….Next time fo sho…Speaking of JUMPING House of Pain one of my many favorite lyrical groups sing a song called “JUMP AROUND” and if you haven’t heard this song it is awesome and people it literally makes you just want to well quite honestly get up and jump and move your buttocks around.. In fact I am going to find that link for you all and insert it here..FYI Dad when you proceed to do this make sue you go at it slowly and most definitely have your cane in hand…Ha That is also applicable to my older and wiser peeps…Ha

.So what did you think freaking awesome right…..so many fun times a had with that song especially in college )..And all of this my friends is a fantabulous thing..Especially for me…Not the clicking part that of course was fun but the fact that I am enjoying my blogging..It is so much fun..And to finally have a positive purpose, well my friends that is even more of a double whammy and the only way I can describe it to you all is it is like letting the air out of a balloon..Or pulling that splinter out…Taking that weight off my shoulders…Ok I get it, you get it.

And another side note here whilst I am thinking of it,  I just want to again say that I appreciate all of the critique that I am getting on my blogging and while I appreciate it so much and thank you but…… let’s just face it and well obviously putting it out there and totally being honest here I am just not wired to be grammatically correct in any way shape or form..No can do ghost rider..For it goes kinda like this …Some days I am concise and clear and to the point…and well other days I am not like right now..Ha  some days I am grammatically somewhat correct but most of the time I am not… It is just who I am, it’s how I roll,  how I write, and how I am wired.. But that is what you have to realize or most importantly that I realize this…Quite honestly I got and understood that memo a long time ago…For I clearly saw that writing on the wall and it said that I am not perfect nor seeking perfection for there is no thing as perfection and once you realize that well that my friends is half the battle.. Hell’s no!!! I am not perfect and I lovingly accept that fact and quite honestly I repeat again people no one is…other than of course Jesus..Jesus IS perfect… Shout out to Jesus and as always thank you for everything you have given me.. I love you! Anyway as humans we have to love ourselves flaws and all..And boy I am sure to tell you that I have MANY upon MANY a flaws..And quite honestly if I sat here and tried to make this grammatically correct or correct it every perfect kind of way well then I would what is that saying analyze till I am paralyzed and then what? Not do it?..Point blank I am not interested in the not doing it part…And as my beautiful sister Demetra says I write as I speak..…And she is  right, for I am genuinely speaking me..And honestly that is quite the compliment to me so thank you SisTAH!

Ok phew got that out of the way…So today I initially intended to switch it up a bit and doing a customer review on a product that part is true but yet again I got deep Ha…This blog has taken on many meanings or morals to the “Chrissy story” as I have added and added my more than dual meanings to my original review.  Ha So YES you guessed it a review on a hat…More specifically a beach hat..So last year I went on a cruise and well quite honestly I am not your typical lye on the beach/deck and soak up all of the rays of sun for hours kinda gal…A. because a very wise and valuable tip my Yia Yia gave me (Greek for Grandmother) she said as she cupped her beautiful soft hands around my face “Christina stay outta the DIRECT sun”..She must of had a spidey sense back then that skin cancer would become rampant and  a thing of the future.. Ok Yia Yia check and done.. And B. lucky for me I had and have no desire to lie in the sun and baking my skin into a piece of bacon strip. I don’t get this concept, really think of it like 10 months out of the year we are essentially pale, looking like baby powder and by the time the sun warms up we have about 2 months of the blazing sun. I see some people manage to make it happen they MAKE it happen and getting it done looking like George Hamilton or as I call him George HamilTAN.. The really tan men I call George and the women I call Georgia…Good grief remember how tan he got???  Yikeereeenies well quite honestly I see people emulating that 80’s look still to this day and all I can think of is just how unhealthy/damaging achieving said desired look brings to your body and quite honestly not attractive) and not forgetting I have the attention span of a bouncing ball…NONE… I am the type of person that needs to be moving around and doing things…Plus honestly I am not a fan fave of fighting for a spot on the beach…And the clusters upon clusters of people that surround you…Yikes…Ha However just because it does not work for me..I am happy it works for you but  if it does but please just make sure you wear the amazing hat and sunblock….So the extreme tan look or the name given that look is called Tanorexia isn’t healthy at all.. So, as you see my beach hat was perfect for keeping the sun off my face and out of my eyes…Not to mention very lightweight and easy to travel with..So the rim of the hat is so pliable malleable in the sense that you can bend the wire in the rim so that it tailors to the desired protection that is needed at the time..Also the most amazing art of this hat is you feel you are all alone, allowing you to have “you” time in the company of others..I feel like I am in my own little bubble or space when wearing the hat..So without further ado my amazing hat that I highly recommend to any person in search of the perfect beach hat..It is made by a company called GOLDCOAST SUNWEAR.. 

Speaking of the cruise the company I was with LOVED my hat..Loved my hat..But apparently not so much me.  As I later learned, and quite honestly was shocked and definitely unbeknownst to me during the trip my persons was not appreciated prettymuch AT ALL… all of my beautiful uniqueness and perfect flaws not appreciated…I don’t know why for I made sure a certain traveling company had their coffee in the morning before their pied eyed fully awaken, for I was funny, I was down with dancing on the very top of the moving ship with my niece we had so much fun, we laughed so hard that tears were streaming sown our faces.. by the way, yes I walked fast but that is by my nature I can’t help it..Yes, I talk fast and now loud I guess too…Ha …And apparently the coup de gras, gras of all freaking gras people is, drum roll please… apparently I chew funny.…Holy kazookas and cowabunga people my entire persons was butchered..The reason I share “said” information with ya all is this, the moral of the story here is that you have to feel bad for someone who is that judging of another person, and feel bad that they have issues within and about themselves.. A person seeking out other people’s flaws is NOT happy with themselves and that makes me sad. Quite honestly after I got over the hurt that it caused me (watched myself chew in the mirror…Ha Just kidding) I wanted to give said person a hug and say your hurting deep deep inside, lets figure out why you feel this way, let’s get to the core of the problem..Lets help you to find the peace with in you.  Honestly, It must suck feeling that way, because people anyone who is judging you is judging themselves even harder..They definitely arn’t happy with themselves for they are hurting..And that state of mind sucks …..But getting back to it,  good thing I am a strong person both physically and mentally as I can let all of that negativity on me roll off my back… And people that is what you should do as well.  Never let anyone’s negative views of you get you down.. Don’t let society and people make you change your look and your many flava flaves (shout out to Ashley and Joe) of yourself and become someone you aren’t meant to be, or act a certain way for society because all you will do is struggle and battle with yourself forever… Don’t get face work done to “look” better? You are beautiful as you are… Honestly these famous people getting injections, “corrections” which literally become to me rejection un recognition etc.   I always say they were beautiful the way they were….and I got to be honest with you people they look like lions..… The majority of them take on the look of a lion…I swear when I look at them I see hints of a lion…And this really hurts and upsets me why??…Because only lions are supposed to look like lions for they are beautiful for what God intended them to be…News flash and memo here people..Humans aren’t supposed to look like lions…And or the Charlie McCarthy doll, you know the doll wearing the monocle over his eye, his blood red lips and a tight face not the red lips part it’s the tight unmovable face part, but mostly they look like lions…Anyway this is sending out the WRONG message especially to the young crowd..People love the skin you are in…Grow old naturally/gracefully…Humans are supposed to look like what God originally intended them to look like..Your original blueprint..Not a modified altered look..Let your true Genie out of the bottle, your bottle..Flaws and all, your many unique flava flaves of yourself, what a beautiful spectrum too….Be your you…Your best and amazingly amazing and unique you..

In conclusion the take away put your “best hat forward” and be your best true to yourself YOU!  Amen and roger that…  Oh and on the positive note at least “said” company did like the beach hat… Ha

As always, love your unique you, MOST importantly thank you Jesus and have faith…Over and out..ta ta for now..
