Random Thought

 There is a scene in that silly movie Bruce Almighty, a scene that probably no one will remember, where Grace is sobbing in her bed and praying ‘God please help me let him go, please help me let him go‘… after he had be such a d**k to her, living it up, taking her for granted and …..and CC wants you to know that … Read More Random Thought

A to B Sides

    At first glance, this song speaks to a war, a battle. But not on the B-side. On the B-side you’re there with him and as the song begins to play…. You’ve had a big fight. Mama crabs been wrong, Papa crabs been foul. More foul and more hurtful than either of you care to admit. But your heart. Your heart. “Aiming for … Read More A to B Sides

Ride

Could it be? I’m happy and yet sad, I’m happysad. Why? CC might have to retire her crabbyRide. The story of it’s possible replacement are ultimatums on CC’s mind, but …sigh…that’s a conversation with someone who understands another post for another day. Thk you. I always wonder how people felt about their first car…even though it is never right to worship material things…crabbyRide wasn’t … Read More Ride

The transfer from bag to pan did not go as smoothly as hoped, we had a runaway…. 3. Coco does not like to be chased by a crab. 2. Slippery little suckers…. … Read More ➎ Crabby Lessons Learned

Moonchild

Sometimes when the moon is full CC starts to miss the people she loves the most. One of them is her pumpkin Alex 🙇 When we get to see each other he is like my shadow….. so I remember the time when he was half baby- half l’il man.. the sky was clear, and I was able to see the man in the moon, the … Read More Moonchild

Product Love: Face

CC was looking for something that could work with my skin through the season changes. And for that this cleanser and moisturizer duo has been awesome. It is not too costly, natural-based, mild and healing… and leaves your face clean and soft. If you are extremely dry, its also blendable…many possibilities. Try mixing in a few drops of coconut oil or Shea. ❤CC Available … Read More Product Love: Face

Crabshell DIY – Meet Mz. Kristalia

I’m completely in love with this edition of Crabshell DIY. Hell, I love all of them, but say hello to my little chandelier anyway. Her name is Kristalia.

Try that with music playing, a million thoughts in your head,phone ringing,and … Read More Crabshell DIY – Meet Mz. Kristalia

Jean Envy

Ok Crablings,  everyone knows how seriously I take my jeans collection. I will skimp everywhere else, refuse to buy typical designer bags, and wear costume jewelry – but I will NOT skimp on jeans. They are art. That said, I’m equally picky about cleaning them. They do not go in washing machines. Ever. Unless they are stretch skinny. But for the top dogs it’s … Read More Jean Envy

CrabShell DIY of the day

So happy with today’s framing project! I got this painting years ago from a street artist in San Fran. So imagine my heartbreak when the original fell and cracked to pieces. And any paint luvah knows how much the frame means!
