Crystal was born and raised in Bakersfield, California as the youngest of six children to Manuel Jr. and Rachel Gonzales. Her siblings consist of three brothers and two sisters. Graduating from California State University with a bachelor's in psychology, Crystal also had her fair share of work experience. That includes working with kids in partnership with the Boys & Girl Club, a financial aid assistant at Bakersfield College, a supervisor for Victoria's Secret, and an event coordinator for an IT-training company.
In 2016, after parting ways with an employer and losing her father to Guillain-Barre Syndrome, Crystal decided to take a break from the typical 9-to-5 lifestyle and enthrall herself in the arts. Navigating through grief and from what she felt like no one could understand, she decided to create the ideal career and lifestyle for herself. This included abundant opportunities to travel, more personal time with her loved ones and the ability to express herself artistically and creatively.
Crystal started doing makeup professionally and opened her makeup business in August of 2016. In 2017, she created a fashion event for her hometown to benefit her father's memorial scholarship (more info on that can be found here!). Since then, she expanded her services with mobile ear piercing and content creation (primarily creating beauty, cooking and lifestyle videos). In 2021, Crystal began acting.
Health and wellness are important for Crystal. Her skin is sensitive, so she prioritizes European skincare or US brands with integrity (meaning they eliminate as many toxins as they possibly can during their manufacturing process). She advocates for healthier skincare over covering with makeup, aging naturally, and sometimes even for domestic abuse awareness. From time to time, you can even see her sharing information about Guillain-Barre Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder her father struggled with.
