Senior Pictures Outfit Guide

Senior Pictures Outfit Guide
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Chelsea-Crockett-Senior-Pictures-Outfit-Guide.jpg

Senior pictures are going to be some of the last professional pics you get before you"re out of college and all grown up! Some people think they"re overrated, but I love the idea of picking out a few stylish outfits and having a photoshoot all for yourself. I came up with a little outfit guide if you"re stumped on the best way to dress for your senior pictures! 

First and foremost, your pictures are solely for you. You need to wear what clothes will represent you best! If you"re a girly girl and love preppy, pink sundresses, rock them! Maybe you prefer a minimal look with boyfriend jeans, a tee, and booties. Show it off! These pictures are the one time you can say they"re 100% about you and for you, so make sure you wear what shows your personality best. 

Of course, this part will vary on who you have taking your pictures. But if you’re not completely sure what to bring, I suggest two casual outfits and two dressy outfits. For example, I would possibly take a romper and a nice dress. For casual looks, a pair of dark and light skinny jeans with nice, interchangeable shirts is perfect! You can always dress them up with wedges, accessories, and a cute sun hat! I love this outfit I wore on the right, it’s a great example! A long sleeved tan shirt, a chunky necklace, and a maroon hat all tie together nicely :).

If I had to put it into two words: be yourself! Look like your natural, beautiful self!

Good luck! - Chels

Majorly Delish Marshmallow Peanut Butter Bars

Majorly Delish Marshmallow Peanut Butter Bars
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/chelsea-crockett-Majorly-Delish-Marshmallow-Peanut-Butter-Bars.jpg

Looking for a quick, easy, sweet snack that only requires 4 ingredients? If you love marshmallows and peanut butter then you are in for a total treat with this next recipe! Today I am introducing y’all to marshmallow peanut butter bars. They have a light texture and have a sweet candy-like coating. Want the deets? Stay tuned!

Ingredients:

• 11 ounce bag of butterscotch chips
• 3/4 cup of creamy peanut butter
• 7 TBSP salted butter
• 5 cups mini marshmallows

Start with an 8x8 pan lined with foil. Spray it with nonstick cooking spray and then set it aside. You’re your marshmallows in a large, wide bowl and set them aside. In a medium saucepan, melt the peanut butter, butter, and butterscotch chips over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once the mixture is smooth and melted, remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes, stirring often. Pour the sticky mixture over the marshmallows, stirring until marshmallows are completely coated. Pour this marshmallow mixture into the pan you prepared. Refrigerate until chilled and set, which should be a couple of hours. Slice them into bars and gobble up!

XOXO, Chels

How to “Tontour”

How to “Tontour”
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Chelsea-Crockett-how-to-tontour.jpg

No time for contouring?  No problem! Contouring is applying dark and light colors in specific areas of your face and blending them together.  While the end product looks amazing, it can be very time consuming.  Tontouring is the next best thing!  It’s like contouring, but much quicker.  Check out how you can have a flawless complexion in 1…2…3!

Tontouring is applying self-tanner to specific areas of the face to add depth.  The best part?  Gradually, the self-tanner will stay and you won’t have to apply it every day!  So how do you do it?  Start off with a base by applying self-tanner all over your face.  Next, apply a darker shade of self-tanner under the cheek bones, down the sides of your nose, under your nose, and along your hairline on your forehead.  I suggest using a gradual self-tanner for the base and a regular self-tanner for the tontouring; but be careful, regular self-tanner tends to be streaky, so make sure you blend it in well!  Once the self-tanner has dried, continue doing your makeup as you normally would. 

Happy tontouring!

Walking Workout!

Walking Workout!
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chelsea-Crockett-Walking-Workout.jpg

Working out isn’t for everyone. The thought of going on a long run or weight-lifting is enough to keep many on the couch. If those options don’t sound appealing to you, going on a long walk can be just as beneficial! While a normal walk doesn’t reap the same benefits as a run, there are a few ways to pump up your walk to burn even more calories! Follow these simple steps to a great walking workout.

1. Pumping your arms at a fast pace will increase your speed and give your arms some cardio!
2. Do one minute intervals of small, quick steps!
3. Set a goal for each day’s work out and don’t stop until you reach it!
4. If you’re hiking or on a grassy terrain, use poles to help build upper muscles.
5. Make sure to keep your back straight! When your bones and muscles are aligned you can walk faster and torch more calories!
6. Keep the same pace!
7. To add strength training to your work out, stop every 5 minutes and do one minute of push-ups, squats, sit-ups, etc.

Now you don’t have any excuses not to work out! It’s time to get up and get moving!

XOXO,

      Chelsea

Household Item Beauty Uses

Household Item Beauty Uses
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chelsea-Crockett-Household-Item-Beauty-Uses.png

Ahhhh, the joy of saving money… Is there anything better? The best situation is when you can make something from what you already have at home! I found tons of different household item beauty uses so today is your lucky day :).

• Oil blotting papers are a necessity for some. If you don’t want to spend the money or simply run out at home, use coffee filters! They work just as well.
• To get the most out of your perfume, rub Vaseline wherever you spray your perfume before applying it (like on your neck or your wrists). It’ll make sure the scent doesn’t fade away quickly!
• Uncoated aspirin pills can work more wonders than just getting rid of pain. They lessen so many skin problems such as redness, acne, scarring, etc. I have an article on a DIY aspirin face mask that you can look up right here on the site!
• Ever get bronzer or foundation on your collar or shirt by accident? Shaving cream can take it right off! Rub some on with a damp towel and wash it or rinse the area afterwards.
• Lastly, face masks can be extremely overpriced. You can use raw honey for your own facial! It helps unclog pores and gives a glow to your skin. Put a thin layer on your skin and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. Wash it off with a warm towel and you’re done! It’s as simple as that! (Make sure the honey is raw or organic so you don’t have a bad reaction!).

Have fun :)! - Chelsea

DIY Spa Day at Home

DIY Spa Day at Home
https://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chelsea-Crockett-DIY-Spa-Day.jpg

Having a spa day at an actual spa can be extremely expensive. Of course the treatments and messages are fabulous, but can be super overpriced! A DIY spa day at home is just what the doctor ordered. Here’s what you need:

One of my favorite things to do with my mom and sister is getting manicures and pedicures. It’s fun to do every once in a while but can start to add up. By doing a few simple steps at home, you can get almost the same turnout! Start off by using a small paintbrush to apply a layer of Elmer’s glue around your nail. This way you won’t get polish on your skin, it’ll just peel right off! Also when painting on your polish, don’t only apply a clear coat after, but before too! This will give your polish a good base in order to last longer.

What’s a spa without a facial? This is a great recipe that’s simple to make so all your friends can enjoy. As you all know… I LOVE bananas! This face mask calls for plain yogurt, honey, and a banana. Mix together a ¼ cup of plain yogurt, a couple tablespoons of honey, and a banana and apply it to your face for about 15 minutes. Rinse it off and enjoy your smooth skin :).

Do you and your friends ever have a relaxed day at home? If you do something along these lines, let me know so I can try it out myself!

Love, Chelsea

5 Lazy Girl Beauty Hacks

5 Lazy Girl Beauty Hacks
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chelsea-Crockett-5-Lazy-Girl-Beauty-Hacks.jpg

I’ll admit it… I can be extremely lazy! Especially in the summer when I like to lounge around and relax. If you don’t absolutely love doing your makeup, it can be exhausting putting it on day after day. These tips are for any of the above!

1. Getting the perfect cat eye is a difficult task for anyone, but if you have an old credit/hotel card, the task becomes a little bit easier! Look to the right!
2. If you hate finding the perfect gloss shade but still want some shimmer, apply Vaseline on your lips! They’ll be shiny and moisturized at the same time.
3. Some of you feel the need to redo your makeup if you sweat/rub it off throughout the day. Instead, apply a setting spray so your makeup will stay on 10x longer!
4. After a long day, it’s hard to find motivation to get ready for bed. Keep a pack of makeup wipes on your nightstand/by your bed to substitute as your face wash for the night. (Don’t do this every night, though! Your face needs to be washed!)
5. I think dry shampoo was made for lazy people, it’s a genius product! If you can’t find the time to wash your hair as much as you should (or you just don’t want to!), spray a little by your scalp and around your head. It’s perfect if your hair easily looks greasy or oily, as well.

I hope these help if you’re a little tiresome this summer :)!

Broccoli Tater Tots!

Broccoli Tater Tots!
https://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/chelsea-crockett-broccoli-tater-tots-.jpg
The words “broccoli” and “tater tots” are not normally used in the same sentence…but today we are making an exception! I saw these delicious tots on Pinterest and had to investigate. These delectable taters are so much better for you because they are made of veggies! Here is how to make them:

 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups frozen broccoli


• 1 large egg


• ¼ cup diced yellow onion


• ⅓ cup cheddar cheese


• ⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs


• ⅓ cup italian breadcrumbs


• 2 tablespoons parsley


• 1 teaspoon salt


• 1 teaspoon pepper

 

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.


2. Boil the broccoli for minute then remove and rinse it with cold tap water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.


3. Chop broccoli finely and mix well with the egg, onions, cheddar, breadcrumbs, and seasoning. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of the broccoli mix and gently press between your hands into a firm ball then shape into a tater-tot shape. Place them on your prepared baking sheet.


4. Bake until the tots are golden brown and crispy, or about 18-24 minutes, turning half way. Remove from the oven and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce! Mine is ketchup.

Delish!

XOXO, Chels

PS. side note, I made these this weekend and LOVED them!

Banana Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt

Banana Peanut Butter Frozen Yogurt
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/chelsea-crockett-Banana-Peanut-Butter-Frozen-Yogurt.jpg
Where I live, in the Midwest, summers are sweltering. Cool treats are always good to have on hand, but yummy frozen snacks are usually packed with sugar. Having heathy cold snacks on hand is a must. Here is one that I absolutely adore!

Ingredients:

• 2 frozen bananas


• 4 oz vanilla Greek yogurt


• 1/3 cup peanut butter


• 1/2 cup milk


• 1/3 cup semi sweet miniature chocolate chips

Place bananas, yogurt, peanut butter, and milk in a blender and blend until there are no chunks. Scoop the mixture into a plastic container and stir in the chocolate chips. Cover and freeze for 30-45 minutes for a froyo consistency. I like making this either as an afternoon cool-down treat or a midnight snack! Either will do ;)

XOXO, Chels

Ingredients for cookie dough:

To make the topping bring heavy cream and butter to a boil, then pour it over chocolate chips and let it sit for 4 minutes. Stir until it is combined and then pour it over the cookie dough layer. Let it cool for 30 minutes and then refrigerate it to firm it up.

Mmmm, my mouth is watering just thinking about these! Is YOURS?

Go Gingham

Go Gingham
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/chelsesa-crockett-Go-Gingham-.jpg
I go gaga for gingham. What is gingham? It is a fabric that has a criss crossed patteren that looks very vintage. If you look at the photo in the blog title, you will see it! It was very popular in the mid nineties and is making a classy comeback. I love gingham because it is sweet and simple, with a vintage flare. J Crew carries so many gingham styles right now! Here is how i wear my gingham.

 1. Tops: I love simple gingham button downs because they pair so well with so many things. I like to wear my gingham shirts with white shorts and nude wedges for a fun summer outfit. Another way you can wear one is to pair it with some skinnies and a leather jacket for those cool summer evenings.

2. Dresses: Oh my stars, I love gingham dresses. They make me feel so classic and vintage, like I could take a step into the "60"s! Pair your gingham dress with some pearl studs and sweet flats or white Keds for an adorable ensemble.

3. Swim suits: Keep it classic at the pool with this sweet suit. They are so flattering and totally adorbs.

4. Shorts: Gingham shorts are to die for. Pair them with a simple white top and some white keds for an easy, simple summer outfit.

Get your gingham on!

XOXO, Chels

DIY hot coconut oil mask

DIY hot coconut oil mask
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/chelsea-crockett-DIY-hot-coconut-oil-mask.jpg
During the summer, my hair can take a beating. From swimming pools with tons of chemicals to hot humid days and sun damage, you are lucky if you come away from summer with even remotely healthy hair. One way to make sure your hair survives the summer is to do hot oil treatments. Here is my fav!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup coconut oil


• 1 teaspoon honey

Warm these two ingredients on the microwave and then massage them into your hair. I like to use a plastic squeeze bottle to squirt it into my hair. Then I put a shower cap on my hair and then make a towel turban around it. Let the mask sit on your hair for about 15 minutes, and then thoroughly rinse out the oil and use shampoo to wash your hair. Make sure to wash alllll of the remaining oil out, you don’t want any grease left in there!

If you do this mask about once a week this summer, your hair will THANK you!

XOXO, Chels

Seersucker Style

Seersucker Style
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/chelsea-crockett-Seersucker-Style-.jpg
If you love preppy fashion, then you know about the seersucker trend. Seersucker is a pattern that combines white and pastel stripes and a little texture.  It is a very classy, preppy pattern that is perfectly girly. Here are a few ways to rock this sweet southern trend.

1. Dress: To me, a seersucker dress is the perfect attire for any summer outing, whether it be a grad party, dinner with friends, or a Sunday church outfit! I love how nautical yet preppy the look is!


2. Swimsuit: Oh my goodness I NEED a seersucker swimsuit. How adorable! Im pretty sure everyone on the planet would look totally stinkin’ cute in a seersucker suit. They just give you a subtle fiminity and are so classy. All the gals at the pool or beach will be totally jelly of your sweet suit!


3. Ball Cap: Not a huge fan of the classic baseball hat? You are bound to love the seersucker version! It puts a girly spin on your classic cap. These are also perfect for those bad hair days where you really want to look adorable but your hair says ‘nah.’

What is your favorite seersucker item? I just cant choose… I love em all!

XOXO, Chels

S"Mores Sushi

S"Mores Sushi
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Chelsea-crockett-smores-sushi.jpg
I just recently went out for sushi with the chelseacrockett.com team, and let me tell you, it was delicious! When I found this recipe for s’mores “sushi” I could not resist sharing it with you guys!

Ingredient

• 10 oz mini marshmallows


• ¼ cup butter, plus more for greasing the pan


• 5 cup Rice Krispies cereal


• ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs


• 7 oz jar marshmallow creme


• 6 bars of Hershey"s chocolate

 

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Line a 10x15 jellyroll pan with waxed paper. Butter the waxed paper and set aside. Combine the marshmallows and one fourth cup of butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and heat on high for 30 seconds, stir. Repeat until completely blended. Stir in Rice Krispies cereal and graham cracker crumbs. Press mixture into the buttered pan. Spread marshmallow creme on top using a rubber scraper. Lay the Hershey"s bars on top of the marshmallow creme. Place in oven for two minutes. Use a spatula to spread the softened chocolate. Let it cool for 10 minutes, and then roll it up like a roll of sushi (or like a cinnamon roll), starting at the long side and peeling the wax paper as you go. Pinch the seams together and place it seam side down, refrigerating for about 30 minutes. Slice it like suchi, and serve!

 

What a sweet, fun summer treat!

XOXO, Chels

The Right Way to Layer Face Products

The Right Way to Layer Face Products
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Chelsea-Crockett-The-Right-Way-to-Layer-Face-Products.jpg
If you’re like me, then your morning and nightly face routine mas multiple steps.  Of course, nothing comes easy when it comes to getting your face prepared for makeup or sleep!  If you put on more than one product, it’s important to put them on in the right order.  I know it can be easy to throw everything on at once, but you’ll start to notice a different when applied properly!

Serum is best used as the base.  It’s a sort of primer for other products to come.  If you use spot treatment, put that on next and rub it in very well.  Then, you can apply all over treatment.  Continue with your normal moisturizer, letting it dry fully.  End the process by applying SPF.  This step is so important for healthy, youthful skin!

For your nightly routine, begin with serum, retinol, or any prescription products given.  After, apply targeted treatments such as rich eye cream for dark circles.  End the whole process with moisturizer and hit the hay!

It may seem like a process, but it’ll be so worth it once you start seeing results!

XOXO,

Chelsea

When Life Gives You Lemons…Use Them!

When Life Gives You Lemons…Use Them!
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Chelsea-Crockett-When-Life-Gives-You-Lemons…Use-Them.png
When talking about beauty and health, most people think about makeup, medicine, or products!  Believe it or not, some of the best beauty and health “products” can be found in the grocery store aisle!  Lemons are an amazing, tasty fruit that can be used to heighten your beauty routine and create a healthier you!  Check out how you can start incorporating lemons into your daily routine. 

• Lemons are full of vitamin C. If you’re feeling under the weather, add lemon juice to your water or tea for a quick boost!


• If you have acne, cut open a lemon, add a dash of honey to the slice, and rub it over your skin. Leave on for 10 minutes before rinsing it off with cold water. If you’re trying to get rid of dark spots or scars, continue this process (minus the honey) daily until you see the results you’ve been looking for!


• Mix together 1 tsp. with lemon juice for a homemade teeth whitener! Rub the paste on your teeth with a Q-Tip and leave on for 1 minute (this solution is very strong).


• If you have oily skin, dab lemon juice on problem areas using a cotton ball before bed!


• Create your own hair mask to get rid of dandruff by combining lemon juice with honey, coconut oil, and olive oil.


• If you’re planning on being out in the sun all day, spritz your hair with lemon juice to naturally highlight it!

Next time you’re at the grocery store, pick up some lemons!  You’ll be happy you did!

The Musts of Contouring

The Musts of Contouring
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Chelsea-Crockett-Contour.jpg
Contouring can be such a difficult task. Sometimes magazine articles, blogs, and YouTube videos can’t even help you! Although once you perfect it, you’ll basically feel like a professional makeup artist :). If you’re one of the fortunate that do… here are a few “don’ts” you need to avoid when learning how to contour!

• First of all, make sure you get the right products for your skin. Some people watch YouTube tutorials and automatically buy those products right off the bat… But if your skin is super sensitive and doesn’t always react well to unknown products, find some that will react well to your skin (such as Clinique or Bare Minerals). Think before you buy!


• Check your bronzer/foundation to make sure you have the right shades for your skin. If you’re pale, don’t go out and buy a super dark shade of bronzer. It’s mostly common sense!


• The number one mistake made when contouring is not blending in your bronzer. Visible makeup lines are perfect examples of what NOT to do! Make sure you use the right brush that thoroughly blends in your concealer, bronzer, and blush.


• Lastly, you must know where and how much concealer to apply on your face. You don’t want super white under eyes and extra dark cheek bones!

Good luck! - Chels

The One Brush You NEED In Your Makeup Bag

The One Brush You NEED In Your Makeup Bag
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Chelsea-Crockett-The-One-Brush-You-Need-In-Your-Makeup-Bag.jpg
We all know putting on makeup is so much fun!  However, finding the right brush can make a world of difference to your look.  I have recently found a contouring brush that is double-ended.  It has two sets of bristles and can be used for different applications.  One end of the brush has a round shape and the other end has a flat, slanted edge.  The slant allows for perfect application precisely where I want it.  The slanted side also has flowing fibers which allow for more pigment distribution.  It is wonderful for applying bronzer!

The rounder edge is fluffy and helps to apply powder and blush.  It"s great for swirling powder-based products.  This brush is also fab for blending liquid concealer to hide my dark eye circles!  The next time you are at a beauty store, look for a brush of this kind.  You"ll be glad that you did!  Comment below and let me know if you have a brush that"s just right for you!

XOXO,

Chels

4 Signs of a Real Gentlemen

4 Signs of a Real Gentlemen
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/chelsea-crockett-4-Signs-of-a-Real-Gentleman--1024x683.jpg
I don’t know how many times I have heard the phrase “there are no good boys at my school” when girls are talking about why they don’t have a boyfriend. And sometimes, that really can seem like the truth! In my age group, there seems to be a lack of gentlemen, and finding a quality guy can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. Don’t lose heart! There is a guy out there for you that will treat you like a lady. Here are the signs that you have found a true gentlemen.

1. He treats the women in his life with respect: Whether it is his mother, sister, or other friends that are girls, a boy should respect and treat them with dignity. He does this by listening to them when they talk and by affirming and defending them. I was always told to watch how a boy treats his mother, because that is a sign of the way he will treat his girlfriend.


2. He values you: A gentlemen will lift you up, not tear you down. He will make sure you know how valuable you are!


3. He is confident without being cocky: No one likes being with a guy that is full of himself. A gentlemen is humble, and he also seeks guidance from people that are older and wiser than him, aka he is not a know-it-all!


4. He is smart with money: This one isn’t as big of a deal in high school, but knowing how to wisely handle money is a biiiiiiig deal as you get older! So, having a guy who knows how to save money and doesn’t blow it all the second he gets it.

Finding a true gentlemen may be hard, but it is worth the wait! You are worth it.

XOXO, Chels

How to Look Good on Camera

How to Look Good on Camera
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/FullSizeRender-18.jpg
Because I am a YouTuber, I am on camera alllllll the time. There are a few rules that I always follow when I am on camera in order to look my best, and today I thought I would share them with you!

1. Dress confidently: When you are on camera, you want to dress in a way that reflects your personality and in clothes that you are comfortable in. When you feel good about yourself, your viewers can tell!


2. Posture: Sit up straight! If you slouch your viewers will think that you are uninterested and have lost your energy.


3. Body language: This sort of goes with posture. Try not to talk with your hands and do anything that will distract your viewers.


4. Smile with your eyes: You want people to know you are genuinely happy and sincere, and you can do that by smiling with your eyes! As they say, the eyes are the window to the soul.

I hope these tips can help out my on-camera Insiders!

XOXO, Chels

Barbie™ at Beautycon!

Barbie™ at Beautycon!
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chelsea-Crockett-Barbie-at-Beautycon.png

I got the opportunity to represent the one and only Barbie™ at Beautycon LA! It was an amazing experience considering I got to do a meetup (sponsored by Barbie™) with Niki and Gabi and The Evolution of Fashion & Beauty panel presented by Barbie™ as well! I thought I’d give you a little inside on the company and my experience with them at the event!

First of all, the Barbie™ area/booth that was set up inside was so awesome! My team and I got to hang out, take pics, and explore all the things Barbie™ had set up for the event-goers. They had a photo booth that took 360° shots which you could pose in with friends and tons of different Barbie™ dolls! How fun is that? They also had tons of cool products you could take home including all things Barbie™ from dolls (duh!) to cute hair ties!

Apart from the actual event, Barbie™ is a great company that not only promotes products but an amazing message as well. Their products may have a younger audience, but their slogan, “be who you wanna be,” can be applied to any age group. I was so excited to spread the message on my panel and everywhere else at Beautycon. Your style is YOUR style and should be displayed however you want it to be! Being yourself is the most important thing, so don’t be afraid to show it :).

Love, Chels

Is There A Correct Time To Shower?!

Is There A Correct Time To Shower?!
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chelsea-Crockett-Is-There-A-Correct-Time-To-Shower.jpg

Everyone is made differently and everybody’s bodies react to germs, the outdoors, and other factors differently as well.  The way your body reacts can give you an indication of when the right time to shower is for you.  It’s all about feeling your best and cleanest at all times!

You should take morning showers if….

• You’re okay with waking up early. A morning shower is a great way to help wake you up and get your day started!
• You’re a night sweater.  If you tend to sweat in your sleep, it’s easy to wake up feeling gross.  A morning shower can take that gross feeling away real quick!
• You’re in a fairly clean environment.  An argument to showering at night is that it’s healthy to get off all the germs before you go to bed.  If you have a day with low activity, showering in the morning is just fine!

You should take night showers if…

• You like to feel clean before going to bed!
• You’ve been outside all day or in an unclean environment.
• It helps you relax.
• You have dry skin.  This way, you can lather your clean body with heavy moisturizer and lotion before going to bed. 

Whether you shower in the morning or at night, always be sure to take your makeup off before you go to sleep!  This way, your pores don’t have a chance to absorb extra dirt!

Clown Contouring. What is it?

Clown Contouring. What is it?
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/chelsea-crockett-clown-contouring-.jpg

Have you all heard of clown contouring? I hadn"t until recently. Youtuber Bella DeLune started the trend when she decided to stand up to people who called her a clown because she wore too much makeup. She posted a before and after picture of her with her colorfully contoured face clowned-up, and then with the makeup expertly blended, just to show the haters how artful makeup really is. 

Bella has started a major trend! Girls everywhere are trying clown contouring...and loving it! It is an exaggerated form of color-correction that isn"t for everyday-wear, because quite frankly it takes quite a bit of time! But, the results are stunning. It made ME want to try my hand at contouring! Take a look at these before and after pics of Bella. She looks gorgeous! I love how she can take the hate and turn it into an educational video to show others her process and her artfulness. As girls we can get hit with a lot or criticism for wearing too much/too little makeup, but I believe that makeup is a form of self-expression! Your face is your own, and you can choose what to do with it! 

 

What do you think? Will you try your hand at clown contouring?

XOXO, Chels

How to Fix Broken Lipstick

How to Fix Broken Lipstick
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/chelsea-crockett-how-to-fix-broken-lipstick-.jpg

Lipstick can turn any outfit from frumpy to fabulous. I always feel polished and ready to go when I am wearing my favorite shade! If you are a lipstick lover like me, then you know the tragic situation when your lipstick breaks. How are you supposed to get the perfect pout if the stick is broken in half!? Instead of going and buying a brand new stick, fix the other one so it is just like new. Here is how. 

 

1. If the lipstick is not already broken off of the base, break it off. 

2. Warm up the base with a hair dryer for about 5 seconds. 

3. Attach the broken piece back to the base and stick it in the fridge for a few hours to firm it back up. 

 

Now it may not be as pretty as it was when you first bought it, but it goes on the same I promise! This quick fix should keep your lipstick together until you are ready to upgrade. 

 

Hopefully this easy fix works for you the next time your lipstick decides to do a High School Musical and "break free"! ;)

 

XOXO, Chels

Almond Joy Cookies
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/dsc07701__sharpshot_active_version1.jpg

One of my favorite candy bars is Almond Joy. I love the yummy mix of coconut with milk chocolate and then that little hint of nut flavor...mmmmm! Did you know there is such a thing as Almond Joy oatmeal cookies?! Here is how to make these mouthwatering morsels. 

• 1cup softened butter
• 1 ¹⁄₂cups white sugar
• 1 ¹⁄₂cups brown sugar
• 4 eggs
• 3 teaspoons vanilla
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt 
• 5 cups chocolate chips 
• 2 cups sweetened coconut 
• 2 cups chopped toasted almonds

Pre-heat your oven to 375°F  and lightly grease cookie sheets. Combine all of the dry ingredients and set them aside. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars together. Beat in the eggs one at a time and stir in the vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients until they are well mixed then stir in the chocolate chips, coconut and almonds. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the cookie sheets. Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes and let them cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

 

 

All of my Almond Joy lovers are sure to love this concoction!

Why Having Guy Friends is Better Than Having a Boyfriend

Why Having Guy Friends is Better Than Having a Boyfriend
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chelsea-crockett-why-having-guy-friends-is-Better-Than-Having-a-boyfriend.jpg

If you follow me on any sort of social media then you know that I have some pretty great dude friends. There is just something totally awesome about having guy bffs (who don"t have feelings for you and vice versa). Here are my top reasons why having guy friends is better than having a boyfriend. 

1. You can be gross together: If you haven"t washed your hair in two days and your clothes don"t match, no worries! If you feel totally unattractive, that is totally fine because you know you don"t have to impress him, and he feels the same way when he is with you! You guys can be gross and not give it a second thought. 

2. He saves the drama for his mama: Have you ever heard someone gush about their boyfriend one day and then cry about how terrible he treats her the next? Ain"t nobody got time for that drama! Even the best relationship comes with it"s own hardships. Your friendship with your guy bff is a save haven from boy drama because there is no games being played and no hormonal emotions involved. You are free to be honest and open with them!

3. You don"t have to worry if you are bugging him: Sometimes when I am talking to a guy I secretly wonder if I am annoying him by texting him or just annoying him in general. You don"t have to worry about your dude bff getting annoyed and dumping you and and you know he will be honest with you when you are being a little too overbearing. 

 

Guy bffs are fun! There are no expectations, no competing emotions, and they have a different point of view on things than girls do! I am so grateful for my guy bffs. I don"t know what I would do without them!

 

XOXO, Chels

3 Realities You Face When You Leave Home For College

3 Realities You Face When You Leave Home For College
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/chelsea-crockett-3-Realities-You-Face-When-You-Leave-Home-For-College.jpg

Quite a few of my friends are going away to college in the next few months, and I will be going away myself in a year! Wow, that is a scary thought. Even though you are excited and anxious to start your new life, there are a few hard realities that you get hit with early on when you move away from home and take on the world all by yourself. 

1. Staying in touch with friends and family back home is not easy.

When you move away you promise your family and friends that you will keep in touch, and tell your mom you will call twice a day every day. You don"t realize how hard that really is until real life kicks in. You start class, you join clubs, you meet friends, you get a job, all of these things start competing for your time. Before you know it, it has been a week and you haven"t called your mom! It is so important to let people back home know you are thinking of them to keep those relationships strong. 

 

2. Grocery shopping is hard!

At home, the cupboard and fridge is always fully stocked complements of mom. In college, you have to do your own grocery shopping! Gasp! Figuring out what food is in what isle and how much food you can buy with your grocery budget all while trying to keep your meals on the healthy side is harder than you think! 

3. Your roommate will eventually drive you crazy, no matter how much you like her!

Yes, roommates are great for sharing clothes and class notes and for venting your latest boy troubles, but eat sleep and breathing in the same place as them 24/7 can sometimes be a bit much. Her messy habits will start to drive you nuts, and that toothpaste clump that she clogged the sink with will make you want to scream with frustration. But, remember, you probably do things that driver her crazy too! :)

One last tidbit.. Always remember that your parents are your biggest cheerleaders and are always there when you need them. I know the hardest thing about moving out is that I will be away from my mom. It is the worst part of growing up! But, it has to happen some time, so make the best of it when it does. :)

XOXO, Chels

Give Your Dog the Best Summer Vacay Ever

Give Your Dog the Best Summer Vacay Ever
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/chelsea-crockett-Give-Your-Dog-the-Best-Summer-Vacay-Ever.jpg

 

If your family is like mind, then your dog is just like any other family member. We treat our dogs like we treat each other! your dogs deserve a super awesome summer, just like you do. Here are some ways to give your dogs the best summer ever. 

Have a puppy pool party! If you have friends who also have fur babies, have them bring their dogs to a puppy playdate! Set up water activities or kiddie pools for the pups to splash around in. Add ice cubes to the pool to give them a cool, crunchy treat as well! 

 

Help them throw some shade: Pick up a pair of "Doggles" or "dog sunglasses" for your canine! They are both cute AND practical. They protect your dog"s eyes against UV rays and are padded to comfortably fit your dog. The only issue is keeping them on their face! ;)

 

Pooch popsicles: There is nothing tastier than a popsicle by the pool. Now your pooch can enjoy one as well! Mix chicken broth with cottage cheese, freeze it in popsicle molds, and feed it to your doggie to cool them down on a hot summer day! 

 

I think a puppy pool party is in Buster, Jolly, and Ella"s future! ;)

Myths and Misconceptions about Vitamin D

Myths and Misconceptions about Vitamin D
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/chelsea-crockett-Myths-and-Misconceptions-about-Vitamin-D.jpg

We all learned in school that going outside and getting some vitamin D was super important for our health. There is so much more to know about this crucial vitamin, and there are so many myths about its abilities out there! Here are some common misconceptions about vitamin D and the explanations behind the myths. 

Myth: If you live somewhere sunny, you don"t have to worry about vitamin D: 

Even if you live in a sunny climate like California or Hawaii you still might not be getting enough vitamin D. We live in a society that spends most of our time inside or in our cars, so we barely see the light of day. Your clothes cover up most of your skin, plus the sunscreen that you wear also blocks out most of the sun rays that carry vitamin D. More on that later. So, even the most sunny populations suffer from vitamin D loss. 

Myth: If you wear sunscreen you won"t get any vitamin D

Yes, it is true that good sunscreen blocks out the UVB rays that prompt your skin to produce its vitamin D. BUT, unless you are covering up every square inch of your skin, you are going to get at least some vitamin D intake. Even the tips of your fingers and the backs of your elbows can absorb the vitamin, not to fear! 

Myth: You can get enough vitamin D from the foods you eat

Yes, foods like seafood and milk that are protein sources do contain some vitamin D. But unless you are willing to down multiple glasses of milk and a couple servings of salmon every day, then getting enough vitamin D in your diet is out of the picture. 

Moral of the story? Spend some time outside during the day, in the shade, and get some vitamin D the natural way. It takes about 15-30 minutes for your body to absorb it"s daily vitamin D requirement, so go outside and run a mile or swim some laps! 

XOXO, Chels

4 Reasons You"re Failing to Fall Asleep

4 Reasons You"re Failing to Fall Asleep
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/666ecc1175c3b45024de904b5c52c8bf3c37ed8c6879e657cbe78150925f9c30.jpg

Sleep: something that I always want more of but can never seem to get enough of. Sometimes I try and go to bed at a reasonable hour, but it takes me sooo long to fall asleep that it is no better than staying up late. Our generation has a tough time with sleep because of all of the distractions around us and because of our before-bed habits. We are supposed to get around 7-9 hours of sleep, but it is so hard to do! Here are 4 reasons why you may be having trouble getting some shut-eye. 

1. You eat a big dinner before you go to bed.

I had a doctor tell me once that the reason I was having trouble falling asleep was because I was eating my meals too late at night and my body was working so hard to digest my food that it wouldn"t let me fall asleep. Big dinners with fatty foods take long to digest so they keep your body awake, so try and eat a larger lunch and a smaller, healthier dinner! 

2. Caffination situation.

Yes, that soda you had at 9 pm was delicious, but it was also packed with caffine that will keep you buzzing for hours. Don"t drink caffine after 2 pm. This will give it time to metabolize and won"t stimulate you into the night. 

3. One word: Netflix. 

I know you want to catch up on the latest season of PLL, but one episode can become a 4 hour binge and before you know it the clock says it is 3 a.m. and you have to work at 8 a.m.! Yikes. Plus, all of that viewing can affect your body"s melatonin production, which helps your body create that sleepy feeling you get. Power down and let the sand man take over. 

4. You HAVE to catch up on your social media. 

You may think that browsing your insta one last time will help you calm down and settle in for the night, but that is actually not the case! Studies show that teens who unplug and stay away from social media before bed sleep better and longer! 

 Does any of this sound like you? I have to work on powering down my cell and turning off my Netflix earlier so that I can enjoy better sleep. What about you? 

XOXO, Chels

Salt and Vinegar Kale Chips

Salt and Vinegar Kale Chips
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sea-Salt-and-Vinegar-Kale-Chips-5.jpg

To me, salt and vinegar potato chips are something I often crave. They are the perfect road trip munchy, and late night bite! They are so tangy and delicious, I could eat the whole bag! And there lies the problem. Potato chips are far from healthy, as you may be sad to hear. But, luckily, there is a healthier version that you can munch on to your hearts content! Here is a recipe for salt and vinegar kale chips!

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch kale
• 2 Tbsp. vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. coarse sea salt

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Wash then dry your kale leaves and, using a knife, separate the green kale leaves from their ribs and throw away the ribs. Tear the leaves to the size that you want your chips, but keep in mind that they shrink once baked! In a large bowl combine the kale, vinegar, oil, and half the salt. Toss and mix the kale for a few minutes until it has darkened and softened. On a baking sheet or two covered in parchment paper, spread the kale out in one layer. Sprinkle on the rest of the salt and bake for 7-10 minutes. The kale should be crunchy! Once it has cooled, you can start munching on your healthy, tangy morsels! You can also store these tasty bites in a container for up to a week.

Impress the socks off of your friends with this healthy take on everyone’s favorite late night crunchy snack!

Peanut Butter Cookie Lasagna

Peanut Butter Cookie Lasagna
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/chelsea-crockett-peanut-butter-cookie-lasagna-.jpg

When I think of lasagna I think of red sauce and noodles, not peanut butter cookies! But, who says lasagna can’t be crazy? Here is a fun, sweet, sugary recipe for peanut butter cookie lasagna.

Ingredients:

• 1 box Nutter Butter Cookies
• Cool Whip
• Chopped up peanut butter cups
• ½ cup melted peanut butter
• 1 box instant or regular vanilla pudding, prepared according to package

Line the bottom of an 8x8 pan with Nutter Butter Cookies and then drizzle them with the melted peanut butter. Layer on half of the pudding and then add half of the Cool Whip. Next add on the chopped peanut butter cups and then repeat all of the layers again! Sprinkle crushed Nutter Butter cookies and chopped peanut butter cookies on the top and then sprinkle the rest of the peanut butter. Cool this sweet dish in the fridge overnight to allow the cookies to soften and the Cool Whip to firm up! This recipe is great because it requires no cooking and it is simple to make!

The next step? Dig in to your layered lasagna!

XOXO, Chels

Back-to-School Fashion Trends 2015

Back-to-School Fashion Trends 2015
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chelsea-Crockett-Back-to-School-Trends.jpg

Unfortunately it’s that time when I have to start blogging about back-to-school topics (UGH!), but it’s always a necessity to know which trends to rock once school starts up again. Your style is YOUR style, but incorporating different trends into it can be fun!

Shoes are always a fun way to spruce up your look, and this year there’ll be a few trends everyone will be wearing! Last year, some people around school were wearing Converse, but over the summer, tons and tons of my friends have hopped on the trend as well! The high top ones are super cute and are fun to wear with boyfriend jeans and a cute shirt! Definitely buy a pair for this school year :).

Certain styles have even made their way back into the picture. Retro styles from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, such as puffy vests, Converse (haha!), and high waisted pants, have all made a comeback. Also, oversized sweaters/shirts and layering cardigans or other articles of clothing is definitely in. Although, where I live it’s still 90 degrees, but I’m sure once fall rolls around, this will start popping up everywhere!

Lastly, trends such as graphic tees, boyfriend jeans, floral patterns, denim, and plenty of others will be sure to be seen throughout your school. Let me know below what you’ll be rocking once school starts!

Last Minute Summer Getaways!

Last Minute Summer Getaways!
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chelsea-Crockett-Summer-Getaways.jpg

We’re getting down to the last few weeks of summer… so depressing, right? But it’s not too late to check off a few last-minute summer getaways! I know vacations are often expensive and hard to plan last-minute, but there are so many little getaways you can plan with your friends or family!

One obvious summer trip is to plan a camping weekend with your closest BFFs. Almost anywhere you can find a state park or campground that you can set up tents for cheap or even free! I like finding spots like these because lots of other campers are around and it’s totally safe! You can also bring stuff for a BBQ and s’mores to top off the night :).

Another getaway you can take is a float trip! You’ll need a few more supplies than camping but it’s totally doable. Make sure you pack snacks and lots of sunscreen since you’ll be out in the sun for most of your day. It’s so fun to get a group of people and go for a weekend!

Lastly, one of the best must-do opportunities of the summer is taking a road trip! I think that’s on everyone’s summer goals list! If your parents are good with it, take a road trip somewhere only a couple hours away so you don’t have to stay overnight if your parents aren’t okay with that. Perfect!

Make the rest of your summer worth it!

Love, Chelsea

Shape It Up with a Fitbit

Shape It Up with a Fitbit
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chelsea-Crockett-Shape-It-Up-with-a-Fitbit.png

I"m sure you"ve heard of the newest fitness trend called the Fitbit!  It"s a flexible wristband that you can wear when you are working out.  It tracks your all day activity like how many steps you take, the distance you"ve traveled, the floors you"ve climbed and the calories you"ve burned. 

It"s fun to set daily goals.  It will encourage you to walk the extra mile and make good choices throughout the day.  Your Fitbit will also measure your sleep quality at night.  It comes with a silent alarm that will vibrate on your wrist so it won"t wake your roommate! 

Another bonus to the Fitbit is that it syncs to your computer or iPhone.  It will show your progress in charts or graphs so you can keep track of your goals.  My friends and I have a little competition some days to see who walked the most steps. It really encourages me to take the stairs instead of the elevator/escalator!  Why not try the Fitbit and have fun with your workout!

XOXO, Chels

DIY Map Décors

DIY Map Décors
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chelsea-Crockett-Map-Decor.jpg

I love being creative, especially when doing fun DIYs! And with school starting, you might be going off to college and hauling all of your décor to your dorm. Whatever the case, you have a few weeks of summer left to do a couple artsy room DIYs!

I think one of the cutest room decorations I see all over Pinterest and Tumblr is a large map to put on your wall. Well… there are more creative ways to do so, and I want to help you out! Your first option is one like the picture on the right. Buy a big canvas, whatever size fits your room/dorm, and print out paper templates of each continent. Make sure they’re proportionate to each other! Take double sided tape and tape down each template very, very lightly so you can easily pull them off after you’re down without leaving tape marks. After taping, use canvas paint and splatter it wherever you want! Wait till the paint dries, then peel off each template. You can have fun with different colors that’ll match your room!

The other option is a map like the featured image above. You’ll need white tacks and tons of white string! You’ll have to buy a large canvas and paint it black. Wait till it dries, then put your white tacks periodically to make the shapes of each continent. Take your string and start on one continent at a time. Wrap it around the tacks in different orders to make it like the picture above! You can add a verse or quote if you want, too :)!

Have fun! - Chelsea

Easiest Starbucks Drinks to Make at Home

Easiest Starbucks Drinks to Make at Home
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Chelsea-Crockett-DIY-Starbucks.png

Mmmmmm, Starbucks. Who doesn’t love picking up an iced coffee or a cool lime refresher during the hot summer days? Unfortunately, sometimes we don’t have the time, or the money, to go to an actual Starbucks… but a few of the drinks you can simply make right in your kitchen!

• Green Tea Lemonade. This drink is simply what it says it is. I like my drinks sweet so, I sweeten my green tea instead of leaving it unsweetened. You can use any green tea and your favorite lemonade and mix it together! SO easy, right?
• Cool Lime Refresher. I LOVE Starbucks’ refreshers. They’re absolutely delicious… and obviously refreshing! The cool lime drink is the easiest one to make, you only need mint leaves, chopped cucumber, water, and sugar. You may need a few other ingredients depending on which recipe you use online, but most are pretty much as simple as that!
• Frappuccino. Depending on which flavor of coffee you want, you’ll have to look up the recipe. But most of the Frappuccino recipes call for strong coffee, sweetener, milk, ice cubes, and whipped cream! You can add chocolate or caramel syrup, or whatever else you prefer.

What’s your favorite Starbucks drink? Let me know in the comments below, and if you can make it at home, include the recipe :)!

Love, Chelsea

The Votes Are In: Top Traits Gals Want in Their Guys

The Votes Are In: Top Traits Gals Want in Their Guys
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/chelsea-crockett-Top-Traits-Girls-Want-in-their-Guys-1.jpg

Are there certain traits you HAVE to have in a boyfriend? When you have sleepovers with friends, do you dream about the perfect guy and discuss everything you want him to be? If so, you are the average teenage girl J. I read a recent study about the top traits that women want in the guy they date, and they really aren’t surprising! In fact, most of them were on MY list of traits I want to see in my guy. Here is a list of the top character, personality, and practical skill traits females want in a man.

 

TOP CHARACTER TRAITS: FAITHFULNESS, DEPENDABILITY, AND KINDNESS

When it comes to the character of your guy, most women say faithfulness is a top priority. Rightflully so! You want to know that he is there for you and only you, and that he will stick with you through the tough times. You also want to know that he is dependable and that when he says he is going to do something, he does it! You want him to be responsible. Lastly, you want him to be kind. I know that it is sometimes tempting to fall for the “tough guy” or “bad boy”, but as you grow up kindness wins. Most girls want a man who will be sweet to her AND her mother!

TOP PERSONALITY TRAITS: SENSE OF HUMOR, PASSION, AND INTELLEGENCE

I don’t know about you, but I love when I can laugh with my guy. Having a sense of humor makes life so much more fun! Passion is another must. You want a guy who is passionate about something, whether it is playing the piano, playing basketball, or even cooking! Another personality trait that women swoon over is intelligence. Nothing beats a guy who is great at problem solving!

TOP PRACTICAL SKILLS: LISTENING, ROMANCING, HELPING

Studies have shown that women love a guy who listens. This is a no-brainer! Girls feel safe and loved when a guy will sit there and let them vent and listen to their problems. Romancing is a given, we love a guy who can show his soft side and can sweep her off her feet! And the last one, helping. If he can help me cook a dinner, clean my room, or run errands, he is on the fast track to winning my heart! Who agrees?!

What traits do YOU value in a guy? Comment below!

XOXO, Chels
