The Do"s and Don"ts of Dying Your Hair

The Do"s and Don"ts of Dying Your Hair
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Chelsea-Crockett-Hair-Dying.jpg

Dying your hair encompasses many pros and cons.  Although a fresh new look comes with switching up your color, some disadvantages included in dying can outweigh the benefits. I"m here to tell you the do"s and don"ts of hair dying to help decrease any mishaps!

DON"TS

• DON"T dye your hair too frequently.  This causes your hair to dry out and eventually become brittle.
• DON’T go too dark or too light. Take your skin tone into consideration. What will compliment you best?
• DON’T impulse dye your hair. If we’re talking permanent dying, think long and hard on what color you’ll be stuck with. If worst comes to worst, you can always dye it back quickly, but that can dry out your hair tremendously!

DO"S

• DO know your products. If you"re dying your hair yourself, read up on reviews of the product you"re using. 
• DO know what you"re doing. Too many times can dying your hair yourself go very wrong. Make sure you read instructions and have some extra help!
• DO take into consideration that the dye could irritate your skin. Sometimes the dye can affect your scalp or surrounding skin. Be careful with what products you choose!

Hopefully these tips can help you decide: to dye or not to dye?

http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/65019310.jpg

Whether you are someone who loves to go to the gym or someone who loves going HOME from the gym, I think we can all agree that there is one thing that helps us through our workouts: a killer music playlist. In fact, science has actually proven that working music into your exercise routine makes you work harder! Scientists say that choosing songs that have the same beats per minute (BPM) as your heart rate (it should be around 120-140 BPM) help you stay motivated and increase your endurance! Here are some songs scientifically proven to intensify your workout:

1. “Eye Of The Tiger” (109 BPM)
2. “Beat It” (139 BPM)
3. “Push It” (130 BPM)
4. “I Like To Move It” (123 BPM)

It is also good to make sure that the songs have a positive or motivational messages to keep you encouraged. Put these songs on your workout playlist and see if they help take your workout to the next level!

XOXO, Chels

Taking Advantage of Your High School Years

Taking Advantage of Your High School Years
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Chelsea-Crockett-High-School.jpg

As my senior year is nearing to an end, I can"t help but reflect on the past four years of my high school career. There are both things I wish I would"ve done and things that I would change. I thought I"d share some advice I wish I would"ve considered at the start of my freshman year. 

• Be too friendly. Say hi to even the people you barely know. You might not be friends with everyone at the end of the day but being kind goes a lot further than you think. 
• Go to every football game, every dance, every play. You might not know it yet, but these events will be where most of your memories are made. 
• Take lots of pictures and videos! My friends know every time we do something I’ll usually have my camera or phone ready to go. Trust me, it’ll be worth it to capture every moment!
• Get involved! There are so many clubs I would’ve joined if I knew how fun it is to be involved and meet people outside of your class, sport, etc.
• Don’t worry too much about not having a boyfriend. I cannot stress this enough! Most high school relationships come with drama and added stress. That being said, don’t be afraid to go on dates or be in relationships. Just know your worth and save most of your time for your friends and family!
• Lastly, don’t overthink that one bad grade you got on a test. Most of the time, you won’t even remember that grade in a year, or even a month.

Whether you’re a freshman or a soon-to-be graduate, make the rest of high school years count!

Love, Chelsea

How to Repair Dry Hair!

How to Repair Dry Hair!
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Chelsea-Crockett-Dry-Hair.jpg

Dry hair is hard to prevent. During the winter months, cold air makes your hair go from smooth and silky to frizzy and brittle. Apart from how it feels, we don"t necessarily like how it looks either.  Here are a few ways to bring your locks back to life!

After doing some research, I found some cool techniques that I would"ve never thought about doing!  Hydrating products are where it"s at for dry hair. Conditioning with an ultra-hydrating conditioner, especially coating your ends, will help tremendously. A few times a week, do this followed by blow drying your ends (before rinsing!). After allowing your hair to soak up the product, rinse out the conditioner. Only do this 2-3 times a week!

Apart from product remedies, homemade recipes can account for amazing hair revivers. Ingredients such as avocados, eggs, olive oil, etc. are all great for restoring your hair back to a healthy state. Another remedy that never even crossed my mind is a butter mask (wait… what?)! Massage a small amount of butter throughout your hair. Make sure your hair is dry and let it sit for about a half hour. Rinse out the butter with shampoo and you’re good to go!

What other remedies do you have for dry, brittle hair? Let me know below!

Spring Bridal Shower Wear

Spring Bridal Shower Wear
https://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-spring-bridal-shower-style-.jpg

It is a rule of thumb to never wear white to a wedding, but what about to a bridal shower? Not many people talk about the do’s and dont’s of bridal shower attire, so that is what I am here for! Spring and summer are prime wedding season, and one of my friends is getting married this summer, so this is good to know! Usually, sweet, fun, and girly are three good adjectives to describe shower attire. If you are attending a bridal shower soon, check out this style guide to get the low-down.

1. First, floral: Floral patterns qualify as fun AND girly! I have been really into floral prints lately. They look so fresh and sweet. They even give a slight retro vibe! Here is my floral pick. 

   

2. Then comes sweet and simple: Soft colors are always a safe choice when it comes to spring and summer wear, especially bridal shower attire. This pastel halter dress encompasses the “sweet and simple” vibe perfectly! 
3. Finally, girly: What is more girly than ruffles? Nothing. I am convinced. A ruffled off-the shoulder dress is a simply adorable choice of attire. Wear with sandals or wedges for a sweet summer vibe.

Next time you are heading to a bridal shower, think “sweet, floral, and girly” when picking out your outfit and you will be in good shape!

XOXO, Chels

Treat Yo-Self: 5 Fun Things to do On Your Own

Treat Yo-Self: 5 Fun Things to do On Your Own
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-5-fun-things-to-do-on-your-own.jpg

How often do you step back and give yourself some “me” time?  Don’t get me wrong, I love being with my friends and fam, but sometimes it feels good to be independent and spend some time with numero uno. Time alone is a great way to reconnect with yourself, destress, and feel refreshed. Here are 5 fun things you can do on your own to treat yo self!

1. Take yourself on a date: Is there a place where you live that you have always wanted to go to eat but have never gotten the chance? Take yourself! Treat yourself to a nice meal, take as long as you want, order whatever you want, you don’t have anyone to worry about or impress! Bring a good book and enjoy yourself.
2. Take a loooong bath: Grab a good book, light a few candles, grab some bubble bath and a bath bomb, and hop in the tub. Take the longest bath you want and enjoy uninterrupted bliss.
3. Lose yourself in a bookstore: There are so many cute bookstores out there, small ones with lots of personality or big ones with lots of choices! Get lost in the shelves and find a book that you love.
4. Have a spa day: Go get a massage, or save some cash and do an at-home spa day. Grab a face mask and hair mask from Walmart and pamper yourself DIY style.
5. Complete projects you’ve put off: Speaking of DIY, finish those projects you’ve been putting off so that you don’t have to worry about them anymore. Whether it is finishing homework, updating your resume, finishing a DIY craft, whatever it may be, finish it! You will feel accomplished and productive, plus you reap the benefits of the finished project!

Treat yo-self to some “me” time every once in a while. It is good for the soul!

3 Ways to Display Pictures in Your Room/Dorm

3 Ways to Display Pictures in Your Room/Dorm
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Chelsea-Crockett-DIY-Picture-Display.jpg

As teenagers, we take a ton of pictures. At least I do! Everywhere I go I make sure to capture the moment, whether it be my last senior homecoming or traveling across the country. I love displaying all the pictures I take in my room in different, creative DIY ways. Here are 3 of my favorites you can use for your own room or dorm!

I’m sure you’ve all seen this idea. All you need is some string and clothespins (and if you have a Polaroid, even better!). Hang the string across your wall and dangle different pictures on it with clothespins! You can make it however you want, whether you want your pictures in black and white or using Christmas light instead of string. If you have a Polaroid, hang your Polaroids instead of normal pictures!

Have you ever seen a DIY Instagram wall? I love them! Depending on how big you want to make it, you’ll need several mini, 4x4 white frames (you can change your frame sizes and colors if you prefer). However many frames you have, you’ll need to have the same number of pictures. Pick your favorite Instagram photos and develop them the size you need to fit inside the frames. Walgreens is the perfect place to do this; they have an app that lets you order them immediately! Arrange them like the picture on the left and you’re done! P.S. You can even ditch the frames for a simpler, and not to forget cheaper, look.

My last DIY idea is a picture clock! Take 12 different sized picture frames and pick your favorite photos to go in each. Arrange them in a circle completed with hands to tell the time in the middle. You can buy these at a wide variety of craft stores such as Hobby Lobby and Michaels.

Let me see how your wall décor turns out! - Chelsea

Be Truly Glad, There is Wonderful Joy Ahead

Be Truly Glad, There is Wonderful Joy Ahead
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/bad-news.jpg

“Be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead.” 1 Peter 1:6. I will be honest with you all. I am scared to grow up. Scared to leave for college, scared to move away from my parents, scared because the future is so uncertian. And I am sure you are all scared of many of the same things. But you know what? We should strive to be truly glad.

What do I mean? I mean we should be glad for our struggles, and glad for what life is giving us, because we are alive! We have been given the gift of life by our God, and He has allowed us to live this crazy life! The rest of the verse sasy that there is “wonderful joy ahead.” How cool is that? Even in the midst of our busy, hectic, sometimes scary lives, God reminds us that there is joy ahead! Be glad for your struggles, because they are leading you to a life filled with joy! When I get worried about college and the future, I just think of the blessings that are ahead of me and how God has a plan. He has a plan to bring you and me wonderful joy! Be glad! Psalm 112:7 says “She does not fear bad news; she confidently trusts the Lord to take care of her.”

So, don’t fear bad news or the bad times, be confident that God has it under control and that he will take care of you, no matter where you are in life.

There is wonderful joy ahead!

How You Know You Should Break Up With Your Best Friend

How You Know You Should Break Up With Your Best Friend
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-How-You-Know-You-Should-Break-Up-With-Your-Best-Friend.jpg

Breaking up with a boyfriend is hard, but breaking up with a best friend is even harder. Sometimes, it is just time to let them go. People change and can grow apart, and sometimes that can be a sign that it is time for the relationship to end. It is just a healthy part of life. Although it is tough, there is a time in most people’s lives when they have to say goodbye to their best friend and move on to bigger and better things. Here are a few signs that you and your bff should part ways.

1. When you are the second choice: When you realize that you only get asked to hang out when their other friends aren’t available, you know you aren’t their priority anymore. True best friends keep in touch and never make you feel like you are a last resort.
2. When they aren’t happy for your success: When you succeed in life and have big accomplishments, your bff is the first one to congratulate you. If your best friend is more jealous of your success than they are happy for you, then it may be time to cut them loose.
3. You are the only one making an effort: Friendships are two-sided. If you are the only one making an effort to hang out or make plans or stay in touch, then they may be trying to tell you they’ve moved on.
4. When you feel like you have to hang out with them: If you feel obligated rather than excited to hang out with them, that’s no bueno. Your bff is the person you are supposed to have fun and enjoy life with, not someone who makes you want to make up excuses not to hang out.

Friendships don’t have to be forever, and ending them can be healthy!

XOXO, Chels

4 Things to Never Put On Your Face

4 Things to Never Put On Your Face
https://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-4-Things-to-Never-Put-On-Your-Face.jpg

Pinterest DIY face treatments can sometimes be deceiving. The can do more harm than good if you aren’t too careful! If you want to avoid unnecessary irritation and breakouts on your face, check out the tips below on what to never put on your face.

1. Hairspray: A lot of people spritz their face with hairspray to help their makeup stay on longer, but hairspray contains alcohols which suck the moisture right out of your face! It fan also clog your pores and cause acne flair ups. Yuck!
2. Lemon juice: Citrus fruits have a ton of acid so they easily irritate your skin. Also, lemons have a chemical in them that can make your skin very sensitive to light, which means if you put lemon juice on your face and then go outside for a long period of time, your skin could blister.
3. Really hot water: Steam facials are great for you, but washing your face with hot water is another story. The thought is that hot water kills bacteria, but it actually strips the moisture out of your skin! Use warm water instead.
4. Sugar: Although it is known as a good skin exfoliant, save it for skin other than facial skin. The big particles can cause microscopic tears in your skin and can lead to breakouts!

Keeping your face healthy and clean is just as much about what you put on it as what you don’t put on it!

5 Must-Have Makeup Brushes

5 Must-Have Makeup Brushes
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chelsea-Crockett-Makeup-Brushes.jpg

There are several different makeup brushes that serve several different purposes. You may have many brushes that you’re using in the wrong place. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which brush is for foundation, blush, or powder! Here are 5 must-have makeup brushes that have their own specific purpose that will make a difference in your everyday makeup look!

• Foundation Brush. Foundation brushes have rounded edges for reaching even the crevices of your face. Try it out with liquid or even powder foundation!
• Blending Brush. Blending brushes are smaller and are perfect for tying together each product. Apply your makeup and blend it together by moving your brush in a circular motion.
• Concealer Brush. Concealer is the product that brings everything together. It not only gets rid of dark circles but blemishes and breakouts, too. You never want your concealer to leave white circles or lighter areas on your face. Use a concealer brush with rounded edges to smooth everything out!
• Beauty Blender. If you’re looking for something to blend everything together, a beauty blender is where it’s at. I use this for anything from blending concealer to applying liquid foundation. It leaves a smooth and flawless finish!
• Powder Brush. When it comes to a powder foundation, you have to have a particular kind of brush. You never want your foundation to look caked on. In order for applying it evenly, you have to use a specific kind of brush!

Which brush do you always have in your makeup bag? Share with me below!

How to Keep Safe on the Internet

How to Keep Safe on the Internet
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/600264.png

There are a lot of “plus sides” to the internet. Cat videos and Instagram, just to name a few. There are also a lot of downsides, one of the biggest being that it can be a danger to your privacy. Breaches in your online security can have really bad consequences, from having your passwords stolen and your social media accounts hacked to someone getting your credit card information and stealing your identity. The best way to prevent a breach in your online security and privacy is to never do any of the following.

1. Giving unnecessary info: When you are filling out a profile online, whether it is a clothing website or a social media profile, be wary about what information you give them. A lot of the time, the information they are asking for isn’t really needed (things like your mother’s maiden name and your phone number, to name a few). Only fill out the boxes that are required, and I even suggest making up a fake birthday so it is not as easy for people to steal your identity.
2. Sharing your location settings: When apps like Facebook or sites like Google ask if they can use your location, say no. Especially Facebook because every post you make tells your location, which makes it easy for people to track you. People can be tracking you on sites where you wouldn’t even expect it! Be careful when letting sites use your location data.
3. Using the same password for everything: I used to be bad at this! It is so convenient to use the same password, or a variation of it, for everything because you never forget it. But, once a hacker has that password, they can go to town. Use a different password for everything to make sure that a hacker can’t take over your accounts!

I want you to stay safe on the internet, so I hope these warnings help!

3 Rules for Teenage Skincare

3 Rules for Teenage Skincare
https://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chelsea-Crockett-Face-Products.jpg

If you’ve been keeping up with my channel, you’ve probably seen my recent video about how I’ve finally been able to clear my acne! Obviously, the face wash and moisturizer I use are key in doing so, but there are other simple pointers that I didn"t mention in my video that help a lot more than you think! Here are 3 major rules that will help make your acne disappear!

1. Avoid touching your face. Continually touching your face throughout the day reapplies bacteria and germs to your skin. Think of how many different things you touch a day without even thinking about it. You then touch your face unknowingly of the bacteria transferring to your pores!
2. Pay attention to the products you use on your face. Obviously the face wash and moisturizer you use is going to play a part in clearing your acne, but a lot of the time breakouts tie in with what makeup you use.  In my video, I talk about Cureology and how it helped my skin.  You can take a quiz and receive medication that"s perfect for your type of acne.  Check out my video for more details!  As for makeup, if your skin is sensitive, try Clinique or Bare Minerals!
3. Maintain a healthy diet and drink lots of water. You may think what you eat has nothing to do with your skin… WRONG! Foods with high concentrations of fat can clog up your pores in the long run. Obviously some McDonalds every once in a while won’t hurt, but diets with high amounts of fat will! Also, drinking water is beneficial for your whole body, including your skin! Be healthy and your skin will be too :)!

What “rules” do you follow when it comes to taking care of your skin? Let me know below!

3 Weird Things That Happen In Your Sleep

3 Weird Things That Happen In Your Sleep
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-3-Weird-Things-That-Happen-In-Your-Sleep-.jpg

How crazy is it that we spend a third of our lives asleep. Think of all that time we could be spending watching Netflix, but instead we have to sleep (totally kidding btw)! A lot of odd things happen in our sleep, and I’m not just talking about those dreams where we wake up naked in front of our whole class. Here are a few of the most common odd occurrences that happen while you are catching ZZzzz’s.

1. Paralysis: When you are sleeping, your muscles are temporarily paralyzed so you won’t kick and punch while you dream. Have you ever wondered why, after a dream where you were running like a mad woman, you haven’t actually moved a muscle? This is why.
2. Feeling like you are falling: We alllllll know this feeling. You are sleeping and then all of a sudden you jerk awake because you feel like you are about to fall out of bed. This is known as “hypnic jerk” and is totally normal. And although it is normal, it is pretty darn terrifying. We can feel like we are falling because our body is in between sleep paralysis, like we talked about above, and consciousness.
3. Sleep talking/walking: One time at a sleepover, I was sleeping next to one of my friends, and in the middle of the night she started shouting all kinds of nonsence. In the morning she had no idea that she had been talking (more like screeching) in her sleep. Awkwarrrrrd. Studies show that between one and 15% of people walk in their sleep, and some even try to drive! Yikes. All of this happens while we are deeply asleep.

So, like I said earlier, some odd things can happen while you sleep. It is good to know about these things just in case they happen to you, because odds are, you will have a feel-like-you’re-falling moment while you’re sleeping sometime soon.

Happy snoozing!

So many beauty and fashion emergencies happen every day with no help to fix them. They can make a day go from good to bad in an instant! I put together a small beauty first aid kit that you can make yourself! It contains all the essentials for fixing a beauty or fashion emergency from smeared makeup to a button falling off your shirt!

• Those pimples that always seem to get worse throughout the day could just be your makeup wearing off! Carry some concealer or cover-up when you need to reapply.
• A small sewing kit. As I mentioned above, a missing button can be very bad!
• Chapstick/Lip gloss. Chapped lips aren’t only painful, but annoying to deal with! Always have an extra chapstick or lip gloss ready on hand.
• Nail File. Broken nails are the worst! There are too many times when I wish a had a nail file with me. They’re super cheap and can save you from a lot of pain and annoyance.
• A mini deodorant. Some mornings you may be in a bit of a rush and forget to apply deodorant. It can make you worry the rest of the day!
• A mini can of dry shampoo. If you ever get to school and realize your hair is much greasier than you thought, spray on some dry shampoo like the one above!
• Mints/gum. I can’t live without gum, and you never know when you’ll need some! Keep an extra pack around just in case.

Keep this kit in your backpack, locker, purse, car, etc. You never know when it’ll come in handy and save the day!

Life Lessons from John 13

Life Lessons from John 13
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-life-lessons-from-John-13.jpg

Does life have you feeling like you just can’t win? Do you feel defeated or confused at why God is putting you through difficult times? Or, are you having trouble understanding why bad things happen to you when you are such a good person? Are you mad at God for the situations He has put you in? John 13:7 has some words of wisdom for you.

John 13:7 says “Jesus replied ‘You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.’” This verse pretty much says that you might not know what God is working in your life or why he has put you in the situation or difficult times, but someday you will understand. When you feel frustrated or afraid or mad at what is going on in your life, just know that it is all for a reason. God does not give you anything you cannot handle. He knows your limits, he knows your strengths, and He knows what is best for you. In the future you will be able to look back at these hard times and know that God had his hand in all of it.

Keep the faith, keep praying, and keep trusting that God has got this all under control.

XOXO, Chels

4 Ways to Get Ready Faster in the Morning

4 Ways to Get Ready Faster in the Morning
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-4-ways-to-get-ready-faster.jpg

If you take advantage of every extra minute of sleep you can get, then you are like me and are always looking for ways to get ready faster in the morning to allow me to sleep in longer. Here are a few of my signature get-ready-faster tactics.

1. Keep a pouch of essentials: Keep a small zipper pouch full of your daily essentials like gum, lip color, keys, mascara, and aspirin, that way if you switch purses or backpacks all you have to worry about is grabbing the pouch and you will know you have everything you need for the day.
2. Document your outfits: When you find an outfit you like, take a picture of it before you leave for the day. That way, if you are ever out of outfit inspiration and are running late and can’t pick out an outfit for the day, you can go to your “outfits” folder on your phone and quickly see an ensemble that worked for you and then you can easily recreate it.
3. Quick dry your hair: If you have time to wash your hair in the morning, don’t blow dry it right after your shower. Wrap it in an absorbent towel, go eat breakfast and get ready, then blow dry it. Blow drying your hair in a steamy bathroom can cause it to frizz up and also takes longer to dry. Waiting lets your bathroom air out.
4. Dry shampoo before bed: This helps the dry shampoo soak up oils while you sleep and gives you clean looking/smelling hair in the morning! This saves you time because you don’t have to go wash your hair.

Weekend Time-Saving Beauty Hacks

Weekend Time-Saving Beauty Hacks
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/60f816f9446cab0b02fe987a92ccce7c.jpg

If your weekdays are anything like mine (super busy), then you hardly have any free time until the weekend. I like to set aside a little time on Saturday or Sunday for a little “me” beauty time. This is a time to do all of the things I didn’t have time for during the week, like deep conditioning my hair, and is a good time to do your beauty prep for the week! Here are a few weekend beauty tasks to get done over the weekend to prepare you for the week.

1. Exfoliate using a sugar or salt scrub: Itchy dry skin is no bueno, and during the week all I have time for is a quick lotion rub-down after I shower. Over the weekend, use a sugar or salt scrub on your whole body to remove the dead skin and moisturize it for the week ahead.
2. Deep condition: Who has time to let deep conditioner sit in their hair for 15 minutes during the week? That 15 minutes is a valuable commodity! Instead of spending precious homework/study/work time deep conditioning on a weekday, do it on Saturday or Sunday when you have the time to spare. It will rejuvenate your hair from the week before, and prepare it for the coming week.
3. Paint your nails: The only time I have to paint my nails on a weekday is at night, and no one likes going to bed with wet nails and then waking up to find they are smudged and sad. Paint your nails over the weekend, and even use a gel polish to make them last longer (Sally Hanson has a brand that doesn’t require a black light for it to set!). Your nails will look like they are fresh from the salon on Monday morning! Plus, I always feel a bit more “put together” when my nails are painted.

We are all busy gals, so don’t feel bad when you can’t fit in all of the beauty maintenance you want during the week, none of us can! But, one thing we can do is prepare ourselves for the week ahead by spending a little “me time” over the weekend. Who doesn’t love a little “me time”?

I have been traveling around a lot lately, and I"ve noticed it taking a toll on my fitness regimen. I like to workout and make it a point to exercise during the week, but my travels have thrown me off of my grove! I want to stay in shape while I travel, but sometimes hotels don’t have gyms or there is no equipment available. That is when it is important to have a workout like the one below up your sleeve! Here is a full body workout, no weights required.

50 jumping jacks

10 burpees

40 Russian twists

10 crunches

10 lunges (on each leg)

10 wide leg squats

10 squat jumps

10 pushups

25 bicycle crunches

50 jumping jacks

1 minute wall sit

Repeat 2-3 times

DIY Sunday Checklist

DIY Sunday Checklist
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chelsea-Crockett-Sunday-Checklist.jpg

For me, Sunday is the day for church and getting ready for the upcoming week. Too many times my day is spent stressing about what I need to get done and what I need to have ready for Monday. Since I love making to-do lists, Sunday is the perfect day to get organized and get things accomplished!

• School is a top priority. Make sure you finish all your homework and study for any upcoming tests.
• Like I mentioned before, Sundays are days for church. If for some reason I can’t make it to church, I still like to have quiet time with God. It starts my week on the right foot, without stress or worrying.
• Being organized is a good way to feel before the week begins, not only with school but with your room as well! Clean your room, car, or whatever will be bothering you throughout the week. It’s refreshing and a stress-reliever.
• If you’re trying to exercise and eat healthy, plan your workouts for the week! Decide which days you’ll have time to go for a run and which days you can take a break. Also, prepare some healthy snacks such as fruit salad or granola bars that can be on-the-go for your busy week.
• Make a list of goals you want to accomplish for the week. If you have a big test you want to ace, write it down! If you want to run a certain amount of distance, write it down! Accomplishing your goals at the end of the week is an amazing feeling.

What else do you do to prepare yourself for the week? Let me know so I can try it out myself!

Love, Chelsea

3 Top Celebrity Clothing Lines

3 Top Celebrity Clothing Lines
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chelsea-Crockett-Celebrity-Clothing-Lines.jpg

Celebrities are the ones who start the trends and spread them throughout the media, magazines, and online world. Some fashion-minded celebs have even set their minds to starting their own clothing line! I have three in particular that the spotlight has been on recently as well as throughout the years!

Kate Hudson has recently launched her new “Fabletics” line and I’m in love! The brand offers all things exercise. Running tanks, yoga capris, and comfy sports bras are only a small portion of the line. You can get fun patterns or solid colors, whatever style you like best! If you’re interested, sign up for the Fabletics VIP membership and get your first outfit for only $25!

Kendall and Kylie Jenner are fashion icons for their millions of followers. Their line at PacSun offers a unique style with comfy or dressy options to choose from! From suede skirts to cropped tanks, you can without-a-doubt find something to suit your style. A lot of the line has a Boho feel to it and is perfect to rock during the warm months!

Jessica Simpson’s clothing brand has been around for years, but her line can still be greatly appreciated! Not only does it offer stylish clothes, but shoes, purses, jewelry, swimsuits, and sunglasses as well! My favorite parts of her brand are definitely the shoes and purses. They’re always up-to-date with the latest fashions and trends!

Which brand is your favorite? Let me know in the comments below!

3 Christian Bands that are Always on Repeat

3 Christian Bands that are Always on Repeat
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chelsea-Crockett-Christian-Songs.jpg

I love music. Whether I’m driving, doing homework, or getting ready for school, it’s always blaring 24/7. I like all different types of music, but Christian is definitely one of my favorite genres. Over the years, I’ve discovered three bands or singers that I’m especially fond of and I wanted to share them with you :)!

• Hillsong Young & Free – You may be more familiar with the group Hillsong United, but Hillsong Young & Free is a youth ministry that isn’t just a label, but a message and ministry as well! In a generation that needs it, their music reflects living a life with God and living according to His purpose. A lot of their music is upbeat and fun to listen to, but still tells an awesome message!
• Jonathan David – Jonathan’s message revolves around one of freedom and wholeness in God. I love listening to his music when I’m doing homework or simply relaxing. I strongly suggest you take a listen!
• All Sons & Daughters – This band is one of my faves! They’re a duo that preforms mainly acoustic and folk styled music, which I love! They have three full albums released and they’re all so good! If you like that type of chill, acoustic music, then I suggest you check them out.

Music is something that I continually put in my mind and body, so I always make sure it benefits me. What you listen to can help or hurt you, so listening to God’s Word is always my go-to :).

Love, Chels

3 Swimsuit Styles for Summer 2016

3 Swimsuit Styles for Summer 2016
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chelsea-Crockett-Swimsuit-Styles.jpg

Everywhere I turn, swimsuits are being advertised in every store, magazine, and website! That officially means goodbye to winter and hello to warm weather! There are tons of different styles to choose from, but there are three that are at the top of the charts for summer 2016!

High neck swimsuits are super stylish and comfortable! When I first saw this type of suit, I was worried about tan lines and how it would look after a long day in the sun. Instead, I bought one for night swims, waterparks, or hot tub nights! They’re more secure and comfortable then a normal bikini which is perfect for a day on waterslides.

I’ve recently been seeing a lot of different fabrics of swimsuits, and they’re so cute! Some stores have been selling crocheted bikini tops or wetsuit material sets. They’re different than the basic bikini! The brand Triangl is known for their unique material used in making their swimsuits (like the ones on the left!). They resemble a wetsuit so they’re stretchy and flexible!

I love wearing one-pieces. A lot of the time, they’re my go-to swimwear! They’re easy, comfy, and give off a modest look. A lot of one-pieces have a fun twist to them, maybe it’s a unique pattern, cutouts, or the type of material. All you have to do is look for one that’s your style! Once I found some that worked for me, I fell in love with one-pieces!

Make Your Makeup Look Like a Pro Did It

Make Your Makeup Look Like a Pro Did It
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-Make-Your-Makeup-Look-Like-a-Pro-Did-It.jpg

Makeup can be a blast to apply, but it can also be a daunting task. You know that one friend who always has her makeup on fleek? The one we all wish we could be? Well, here is how you can make your makeup look like it was put on by a pro. Take that!

1. Know the tools of the trade: Knowing what brushes are used when and for what purpose is a very useful skill. Also, knowing what products work best for your skin takes your makeup skills to the next level. Knowing what formulas and shades work for what part of your face is key. Good makeup and good brushes make a world of a difference!
2. Contouring and highlighting are your friend: No matter how difficult they may seem. Knowing how to do it is essential for any makeup guru, even if you only do it on special occasions or when you feel like it. It can seem like it would be tough to learn, but practice = perfect!
3. Blend up: When applying blush or bronzer, blend the powders up and out towards your hair line. It helps lift and lighten your face!
4. Prep your lips: Use an old toothbrush to get the dead skin off of your lips and then use a good lip balm to moisturize them before using lipstick. This helps it stay on longer and also keeps your lips from flaking.
5. Know your concealer: Use one that completely matches your skin tone, not one that is lighter or darker, to avoid the “raccoon” effect.
6. Finish with powder…always: This is one of the most important steps in makeup application! Use a setting or finishing powder after you are done with your makeup to “set” the look. It helps your makeup to last longer and look softer.

Makeup should be fun and should make you feel fabulous! Practice using the right brushes and the right formulas for your skin and you will look like Kim K errryday. (Just kidding, don’t strive to be Kim K)

Yoga Tips 101

Yoga Tips 101
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chelsea-Crockett-Yoga.jpg

Yoga is one of those workouts that is much easier said than done. You may think it’s all stretching and relaxing until you finally try it out for yourself! As relaxing as it is, I thought I’d come up with a few tips to make sure you get as much out of your workout as you can… and to make it a little less hard on your body!

• Balance is one of the hardest parts about yoga. You have to be able to hold the poses in order to get anything out of the exercise. This is what the meditation and relaxation is for! Once you’re 100% focused, it’s easier to concentrate on your balance.
• Breathing is one of the most crucial steps when it comes to relaxation. Of the few times I’ve actually done yoga, knowing when and how to breathe is very important! Take a few breaks throughout your workout to simply sit, breathe, and relieve stress.
• One of the things I notice when I do yoga is pain in my wrists. A lot of the poses require using your hands to hold your body weight up. If they start bothering you, use your fingers more than your palm to hold you up. This will alleviate some of the pain!
• Make sure you have the proper attire and equipment. A mat, water, and comfy/stretchy clothes are important not to forget! A sticky mat that has some grip will make your workout easier and comfier to hold poses.

Let me know what other tips you have for yoga beginners :)!

How to Walk in Heels: Chelsea Edition

How to Walk in Heels: Chelsea Edition
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-How-to-Walk-in-Heels-Chelsea-Edition.jpg

I am always amazed at women who can walk effortlessly in heels. Like, they just glide across the floor like they aren’t wearing 6 inch spikes on their feet. How do they do that?! Well, with prom around the corner, I see lots of high-heel-wearing in my future, so I thought it would be good for all of us to take a crash course in how to walk in heels.

1. Start small: 6 inch heels are not a beginners dose of heel! Start with something small and then work your way up. This is the key to learning how to walk in heels, start with something that is easy and it will become natural to you.
2. Make sure the shoe fits perfectly: It is a million times easier to walk in heels when they actually fit. If they are too small, your toes get smushed every time you take a step, and if they are too big your heel slips out every time you lift your foot off of the ground. Both are not good! You could seriously injure your toes or twist your ankle. If your shoe fits but you are still having a tough time keeping it on, there are heel grips you can buy to help you out!
3. Place your heel on the ground first: Heels force you to walk differently. When you wear heels, make sure you put your heel on the ground first before the pad of your foot, so walk heel to toe. Walking like you normally would, by just simply placing your whole foot flat on the ground, is uncomfortable and awkward in heels!
4. Small steps: You need to take smaller steps when you wear heels. Walking your normal stride is not going to be easy in them, and it will probably feel a bit awkward. Take small, lady-like steps, don’t try to power walk, and practice in the mirror to see what looks best!
5. Don’t push it: If walking in heels is painful for you, or if you just don’t like it, don’t do it! Don’t feel like you have to wear heels to look “like a lady”, if they hurt you or if they just aren’t your thing, there are plenty of other shoe types that look just as good!

Happy heel-wearing!

XOXO, Chels

DIY French Toast in a Mug

DIY French Toast in a Mug
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-french-toast-in-a-mug.jpg

Making meals in a mug is one of my new specialties. One I think will come in handy in college when I don’t have an oven at my disposal! Today’s mug recipe is a deliciously easy take on French toast! It is super quick and super delish.

Ingredients:

• 1 piece of buttered bread
• ¼ cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 TBSP of syrup
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 1 TBSP of chocolate chips
• Powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar (totally optional, but totally recommended!)

In a microwaveable mug, mix the egg, milk, syrup, cinnamon and salt until well combined. Cut the bread into squares that are bite sixed. Add the bread to the mug and press the pieced down so they are covered with the liquid. Add the chocolate chips to the mug and stir them into the bread mixture. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top and then microwave the mug for 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds so it doesn’t spill over the mug. Let the mug cool about 1-2 minutes, then sprinkle powdered sugar on top.

Enjoy your easy peasy mug French toast!

XOXO, Chels

5 Free Ways to Feel Beautiful

5 Free Ways to Feel Beautiful
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-5-free-ways-to-feel-beautiful.jpg

Let’s face it, it costs a pretty penny to feel pretty these days. Girls spend gobs of money on makeups and lotions and hair products to make themselves feel beautiful. Why spend your hard earned cash on those things when you can feel beautiful for free? Here are 5 ways to do just that.

1. Call your mom or best friend to have a chat: These are the two people that will build you up and remind you of what a beautiful person you are.
2. Get dressed up for dinner: Here is where you can get yourself all done up. Do your hair, put on some lip gloss, and go out to dinner with the girls.
3. Laugh as much as possible: A smile is the most beautiful thing you can wear.
4. Perform a random act of kindness: Your personality’s beauty will make you shine. Plus, you will feel like a million bucks because you helped someone else.
5. Go on a walk or run outside: Go to a nature trail and just soak in the beauty of nature. Also, the exercise will make you feel refreshed and, well, beautiful.

Being beautiful doesn’t always mean getting all done up (although that can be fun sometimes J ). It can be something as simple as having a good laugh and feeling yourself smile. Beauty isn’t skin deep!

The Importance of Finding a Christian Boyfriend

The Importance of Finding a Christian Boyfriend
https://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chelsea-Crockett-Christian-Boyfriend.jpg

Dating is a tough process. Whether you’ve dated someone for a week or a year, you know how hard it can often get. I’ve always been told the importance of finding someone who is on the same page as you physically, mentally, but most important, spiritually. Being in a relationship that revolves around God is a priority that every Christian should consider.

1 Corinthians 13:4-5 says, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.” Then again in verse 7 it says, “It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” There are so many verses in the Bible that give us direction on how love and relationships should be. Dating someone who is in the Word knows that your relationship should be patient, kind, free of envy, etc. Of course, another perk to seeking a Christian boyfriend is being on the same page physically. Setting boundaries is a very important step in a relationship. It saves you a lot of stress, pain, and temptation!  

I came across a quote online that “a Christian relationship is not the same thing as a relationship revolving around Christ.” This mindset changed my viewpoint on how a Christ-like relationship should be. Find someone who shares your values and wants to not only better themselves for you, but more importantly for God!

Love, Chelsea

How to Rock Group Photos...Every Time

How to Rock Group Photos...Every Time
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/chelsea-crockett-how-to-rock-group-photos.jpg

Prom and graduation are just around the corner, and with both of these comes one thing….group pictures! We have all had that awkward group-photo experience where everyone is confused about what they are supposed to be doing with their hands, if they should be squatting or standing, and “guys, are we smiling or are we being serious?” Here are a few tips on how to look supa fierce in every group pic.

1. Get in sync: Not Insync, like the band, in sync like as in the same pose! One of the keys to a good group is to make sure you are all on the same page pose wise.
2. Keep up the candids: I looooove candid pictures. They let your personality shine through! Just because it is graduation doesn’t mean you have to stand stiff and serious! Throw your hat, have a laugh, and hug your friends.
3. Squat it out: Once you have mastered the “squad squat” you will never have trouble taking group pics again. When you need to fit a bunch of buds into one pic, file into a few rows, then squat your tush down.
4. Pop a knee: An easy way to add some sass and attitude to a group pic is to do a little pop of the knee. A knee pop can actually help fit more people into the pic if you are standing diagonally!

Now go rock those group photos! Stay fierce.

XOXO, Chels

What"s the Deal with Instagram?

What"s the Deal with Instagram?
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Chelsea-Crockett-Instagram.jpg

My guess is that you have heard about Instagram’s new update. When I first heard about it, I was a little confused and a little perturbed. If you aren’t familiar with what’s up with Insta, here is the lowdown.

So, Instagram is altering its algorithm. It will reportedly be changing the way that users see posts from other people. It will prioritize some people’s posts over others, and in order to have your posts prioritized, people have to “turn on your notifications.” The thing is, this change isn’t happening for everyone just yet, so it has people pretty confused. The feature is actually still in its testing phase and is only out to a select number of Insta users at the moment. So, what will happen when the change happens to your account? Your feed will order the posts that it thinks you care about the most first, meaning it will show you the pictures from people whose photos you like and comment on the most. This change has pros and cons. The big “pro” is that you will get to see the people you want to see the most front and center in your feed! Buuuut a con is that you could miss posts from people whom you do not interact with that often but still want to keep tabs on or newer friends. Instagram says that it is working on getting this update right by doing testing, so hopefully by the time it reaches us it is in tip-top shape!

How do you feel about this new update? I am still trying to figure out how I feel myself.

XOXO, Chels

Curology Skincare: What Worked for Me!

Curology Skincare: What Worked for Me!
https://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Chelsea-Crockett-Curology.jpg

The amount of different brands and products I’ve tried to clear up my acne is endless. It seems like all of my money is being used for the same results! I recently uploaded a video that talked about a brand that FINALLY cleared my acne! I thought I’d tell you all a little more in depth how these products can work for you, too :).

First comes first, checking out their website. After learning a little about the company, you’ll probably (at least I did!) want to start ordering your products! You have to begin by taking a medical questionnaire. Curology wants to know as much about your skin and what your skin goals are as possible! It’ll ask you detailed questions about your skin and medical history.

Step 2 gets even more personal! They’ll want you to upload photos of your skin and your acne/breakouts. Your healthcare provider will review and examine them to pick the right products for your skin type specifically. The third part of the process is receiving your prescription such as the one above. They ship your products right to your front door! They say to apply them once every night before going to sleep.

You can track your improvement by uploading videos and discussing your progress with your healthcare provider. You can even update your products to keep up with your improvement. Let me know if you decide to try it out for yourself! It’s definitely worth it!

Love, Chelsea

Is Makeup with Skincare Benefits Worth Buying?

Is Makeup with Skincare Benefits Worth Buying?
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chelsea-Crockett-Makeup-with-Skincare-Benefits.jpg

Recently in the world of makeup, more and more brands have come out with products that not only serve the purpose of making your eyes pop or covering up acne but actually eliminating breakouts and helping your pores! A lot of avid makeup-wearers are skeptical of the idea of makeup with skincare benefits, but I’m here to help clear up some of the confusion!

Some brands live up to their promises more than others. A lot of brands use skincare benefits to promote their products, when in reality they simply work just the same as regular products. With that being said, there are also brands that stay true to their promises! Sometimes the only way to find out is to try it out for yourself. Some products will work differently for other users. If you don’t want to spend money on trying it, read reviews about the product. I never used to do this, but it’s actually extremely helpful!

Although some makeup products actually do help with skincare, these in no way can replace your other skincare products such as face wash, moisturizer, medicine, etc. This makeup should just aid in the process of helping your skin, not take on the full job. A lot of products contain SPF, which is an amazing ingredient that can benefit your skin tremendously. Simply even using a small boost of SPF can prevent rays from damaging your skin.

Have you tried out makeup with skincare benefits? If so, give me your take on it below!
