Coconut Water: Why Drink It?

Coconut Water: Why Drink It?
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Chelsea-Crockett-Coconut-Water-Why-Drink-It.jpg

If you haven’t noticed coconut water is everywhere!  It’s becoming all the rage with fitness fanatics and beach-goers alike!  So why grab a bottle of coconut water rather than a bottle of regular water?  I’ve researched all the hard-hitting facts about the newest fad drink!

Coconut water is more hydrating than regular water!  If you have dry or acne-prone skin, drinking a few cups of coconut water can greatly approve the look of your skins appearance.  Amazing, right?!  This is also great as an after-work out drink or if you’re feeling dehydrated.  Coconut water is also full of electrolytes.  If you fall ill with the stomach flu or find yourself very sick, drink coconut water to replenish your body and give you more energy!  While regular water is always a healthy option, coconut water contains nutrients including calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium and sodium, making it the ultimate healthy drink!

If you were curious about coconut water, now’s your time to go out and try it!  Let me know what you think of it!

XOXO,

Chelsea

How to Shave Less Often

How to Shave Less Often
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/chelsea-crockett-How-to-Shave-Less-Often-.jpg

Now that we are in the warm weather season, one thing is clear: we have to start shaving our legs again. It is so nice to take a few days (okay weeks) off of shaving during the winter months. I am always looking for ways to cut down my shaving time/frequency, and here are the tricks that have served me well!

1. Go against the grain: A easy trick to shave less is to shave against the grain of your hair. This ensures that you are getting the closest shave possible and saves you time by not having to go over the same spot twice!


2. Exfoliate: To get a close shave every time you should exfoliate your skin often. This gets rid of the dead skin and also exposes any hairs that you may have missed.


3. Condition: Use conditioner instead of shaving cream! Not only will it save you money, it also keeps your skin soft and healthy!


4. Cut the carbs: The foods you eat can actually promote access hair growth! Carbs do this. Cut back on the carbs to keep you hair from growing so you can shave less often.

Now you can have silky smooth legs all summer long!

XOXO, Chels

Benefits of the Beach

Benefits of the Beach
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Chelsea-Crockett-Benefits-of-the-Beach.jpg

Who doesn’t love a trip to the beach?!  It’s the perfect place to unwind, get a tan, and have some fun!  Many don’t know this, but going to the beach has a handful of health and beauty benefits.  Check out how a trip to the beach can make your body happy and make you feel even more beautiful!

Taking a few days vacation from your busy schedule is extremely important. Sometimes, we try to accomplish too much and let ourselves get overly stressed.  This can lead to lack of sleep, weight gain, and mood changes.  Our brain and bodies need time to relax!  Sunlight is even proven to decrease depression!  As to our physical appearance, the beach is our best friend.  The sun is a natural source of vitamin D, which leads to healthy skin.  The salt in the ocean can also help clear up acne. (HINT: go all natural at the beach. NO makeup!)  You can even accomplish the perfect beach-wave hair!  If you haven’t gotten a pedicure in awhile or have seriously dry feet, heading to the beach can cure the problem!  Sand naturally exfoliates dead sin off your feet, leaving them smooth and soft!

I think it’s time we all pack up and head to the beach.  Who’s with me?!

Love,

Chelsea

To Tan or Not To Tan?

To Tan or Not To Tan?
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Chelsea-Crockett-Tanning.jpg

Oh, the struggle of wanting to be tan… UGH!  I think many girls have this dilemma! Rumors have it that tanning beds aren’t too good for your skin and in Illinois you have to be 18 years old to tan in one.  So instead of risking it to actually go tanning, I’ve been on the hunt for a good self-tanner. Especially being a 17 year old in my state, why not?  In the past, I’ve used L’Oreal® Paris Sublime Self-Tanning Bronzer.  It works really well without streaking or leaving an orange tint.  I also don’t notice a smell like other tanners seem to have.  Overall, it works great, but there are plenty others to experiment with as well!

Recently, I received Vita Liberata Luxury Tanning System.  It’s a two to three week tanning mousse that you put on with a mitt.  It’s supposed to be odor free, long lasting, and a perfect fade.  I’m anxious to give it a try!  Vita Liberata also has Trystal bronzing minerals that you apply just like a powdered Bronzer over your moisturizer.  It’s supposed to be the first self-tanning bronzer that leaves a natural tan and lasts up to five days (perfect for prom!).

If you have a special self-tanner that works well, leave a comment below and I’ll give it a try!

XOXO, Chels

DIY Detangler Spray

DIY Detangler Spray
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/chelsea-crockett-diy-detangler-.jpg

Because I have long hair, pulling a brush through it after a shower is nothing short of a nightmare. The only way I can get all the tangles out of my hair is if I use detangler. Here is how to easily make your very own!

Ingredients:

• 2-3 tablespoons organic conditioner


• 2 cups distilled water


• 12 drops of essential oil


• Spray bottle

The amount of distilled water you use depends on your spray bottle size. Whisk 1.5 to 2 cups of water with 2-3 tbsp of conditioner in a bowl. Add in some essential oils to spruce it up. I like to use rosemary oil because it promotes strong hair. Use a funnel to pour the mixture into the spray bottle, and there you have it! Your hair will be soft, tangle free, and shiny!

Are YOU going to make this spray? If you do, comment below and tell me how you like it!

XOXO, Chels

DIY Makeup Brush Cleaner

http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Chelsea-Crockett-DIY-Makeup-Brush-Cleaner.jpg

Cleaning your makeup brushes is very important, especially since we use them every day!  You don’t have to clean them after every use, but giving them a good scrub down once a month is ideal for healthy skin!  When it comes time for cleaning, it’s easy to whip up your own cleanser with a few ingredients that you can find in your kitchen!  Get the white vinegar and hot water ready!

Start by boiling 1 cup of water and pouring the hot water into a cup or bowl.  While the water is still hot, add 2 teaspoons of white vinegar and stir immediately.  The vinegar may smell at first, but don’t worry, the smell will go away.  Dip your dirty brush into the cup or bowl and gently swirl the brush around the bottom.  Once most or all of the makeup has been removed from the brush, rinse the bristles under hot water and then cold water.  Lay the brush on a towel to air dry; do not try to dry the bristles.  Shape the brush with your fingers and they’ll be clean and ready to use in a few hours!

XOXO,

Chelsea

Body Shaming: Why it NEEDS to End

Body Shaming: Why it NEEDS to End
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Chelsea-Crockett-Body-Shaming-Why-it-NEEDS-to-End.jpg

It doesn’t matter what kind of body type you have, EVERYONE seems to have an opinion.  “She’s too fat.”  “She’s too skinny.”  “Does she even eat?”  Comments like these and social media in particular have driven girls to hate their bodies and take extreme measures.  Too many spend hours looking in the mirror pointing out what they don’t like rather than what they do.  Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy.  Does anyone else see the problem with this?!

It’s time we take a stand and love ourselves for us!  We all need to embrace our imperfections.  I’m not perfect, you’re not perfect; and that’s a beautiful thing!!  We were all made perfect in God’s eyes and exactly how He wanted us to look.  Isn’t that amazing?!  Next time you see something you don’t like about your body, say two things you love about yourself.  It’s time to take a stand and love our bodies!  Say NO to body shaming!

Love you all,

Chelsea
