Focus Wraps

Krystal Holland, Creator and Owner of Focus Wraps


Yesterday Krystal Holland, owner and creator of Focus Wraps came over so I could take a peek at her beautiful wraps. She has created some solid wraps, but my favorites are still the one's that have a word of inspiration on them. Such as, Hope, Blessed, Beautiful and Survivor to name a few. She has a  variety of sayings and colors to choose from, and she is always creating new designs.                                                                                                        

It was difficult for me to make a decision on one, but I ended up with a hot pink bandanna with a silver butterfly and the word Hope across it - my husband's is black with the word Determined on it. (He'll be using his when he rides his motorcycle)

As I sat looking at Krystal's line I realized how versatile they are. My daughter tied one around her waist for a bathing suit wrap, which can also be used as a top. (She's going to purchase a couple to take with her to the beach) You can also use some as a scarf or a shoulder wrap.

I really enjoyed my afternoon with Krystal and I'm extremely excited that she will be showing her beautiful wraps at The Shutter Release Project's October Show.

 She is such a beautiful and inspiring woman filled with words of love and encouragement.

Krystal's Story: Focus Wraps was an idea birthed out of my own story of fighting for my life. I have lived with chronic sickness and disease from the time I was the age of 3. I was diagnosed with Kawasaki syndrome, which is a rare disease amongst African-Americans. At the age of 3 this disease almost killed me. By the time I was a young adult I had spent countless days in and out of the hospital from the age of 3-22 years of age due to constant affliction in my body. I married at the age of 22 and gave birth to my first child by age 23. At this time in my life I was dealing with undiagnosed chronic issues going on with my liver. From the years 2005-2009 the affliction in my body tripled, I lost over 40lbs and had legions all over my lungs. During this time I saw over 14 doctors in one year because nobody knew what was wrong with me.


In mid 2007, I was diagnosed with severe Crohn’s disease, and due to chronic liver disease I was limited to modern day treatments. For almost five years I weighed 106 pounds, lost much of my hair due to malabsorption, and I still had to maintain the duties of being a wife, mother, and woman of God. Throughout my life I have had to learn how to maintain a “WARRIOR” mindset in the battle of sickness and infirmity. Covering up my head with hats, wraps, and scarves was what I had to do because I was losing hair and I was too weak to do anything with the hair I had.

How's Your Sleep

OMG Facts tweeted yesterday that you can survive days without eating but will live 11 days from not sleeping.  http://www.omg-facts.com/  I'm teetering on being sleep deprived at the moment. My 2 year old granddaughter has been staying the night and she won't sleep in her room.  She is a 2 year old that is the height of most 4 year olds, and she sleeps horizontally. It's not bad the nights that I get her head in my chest, but when its a night of the feet and getting kicked... forget about it. No sleep! I did some research and of course there has always been pros and cons about children sleeping in the same bed. Dr. Phil is opposed to it  - one of his reasons is it can cause regressive behavior.  http://drphil.com/articles/article/114  Personally I disagree - I loved having my kids by me and saw no side effects from it. They knew that they were always welcome in my bed, so naturally the same rule goes for the grandkids. It's just this is the first time having a littl

My Ministry

Yesterday was baby shower day for my daughter! It was a great time with friends and family. I'm so thankful for my Tucson family that always manages to join our family gatherings. Thank you!  I sustain myself with the love of family. -Maya Angelou It will be the tenth grandchild for my husband and I -which is leading me to believe the pastor that pulled me out of a crowd 26 years ago to tell me that I was going to have a ministry of children was correct. Looking back at my life I now tend to think that perhaps his prophecy was right on track since I seem to always have a ministry of children closely connected to me on my journey. I would have never guessed this would be my life, but I'm thankful for all the young souls that I've touched. For me that's what life is all about - touching lives and leaving an imprint on their hearts. Peace, Love & Hugs!
