If you haven’t eaten a whole 1 pound bag of Sour Patch kids on a road trip and then not been able to feel your mouth for a solid 3 hours afterwards, you have never really lived. Just kidding, but all jokes aside, I could put away a pretty hefty amount of those sour dudes. If you are like me and love sour candy but don’t love all of the bad-for-you sugar in them, check out these “Sour Patch” grapes!

Ingredients:

• 1/3 box Jolly Rancher Watermelon Jello mix
• 1/3 box Jolly Rancher Green Apple Jello mix
• 1/3 box lemon Jello mix
• 1/3 box orange Jello mix
• 3 pounds green grapes
• 1 cup of water

Pour 1/3 of each box of Jello into small separate bowls. Have your grapes sitting in a bowl of water. Take a grape out of the bowl and poke a toothpick through it in the spot where the stem was, and hold on to the grape using the toothpick while rolling the grape in the Jello mix. Set them on a baking sheet covered in wax paper. After alternating dipping flavors for each grape and all of the grapes are rolled, place them in the fridge until they are chilled. Done!

My friends love these. They are great movie night snacks when you really want to stuff your face with candy but you know prom and summer are coming up so you have to keep your hot bod maintained. Ya feel?

XOXO, Chels

Tone Your Back in Time for Prom

Tone Your Back in Time for Prom
https://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-Tone-Your-Back-in-Time-for-Prom.jpg

If you are wearing a backless dress or a dress with some back showing for prom, then listen up! Today I am going to give you a few exercises to do that will help get your back toned and tight for prom! A lot of times we skip workout out our back and shoulders because we want to avoid getting “man shoulders” but these exercises aren’t meant to make you bulk up, they’re to tone! Plus, all you need is two dumbbells in your desired weight. I go for 5 pounders.

1. Dumbbell shrugs: Grab a dumbbell in each hand and hold them down by your sides. Raise your shoulders as high as possible, meaning shrug them, and then lower them. Do these as many times as you want.
2. Rocking plank: Get into your normal pushup plank position and then roll forward on your toes so they are pointed and flat on the floor. Then roll back to your starting position. The rocking motion is what tones up your back!
3. Dumbbell front and side raise: This move works both your arms and your back. Score! Hold your dumbbells in both hands with your palms facing down. Make sure to keep your legs shoulder-width apart and to keep your elbows straight. Raise your arms in front of you, then out to the sides. Repeat until it burns!
4. Side plank: These are great for sculpting your back as well as your side abs! If you don’t know how to do these, it is super simple. Just lay on your side, then push up on your forearm. Do for 30 seconds, then switch sides.

I can’t wait for prom, can you?!

XOXO, Chels

How to Beat the Mid-Term Blues

How to Beat the Mid-Term Blues
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-How-to-Beat-the-Mid-Term-Blues.jpg

“How many more days until school is over?” I find myself asking my friends this question to my friends wayyyy too much, and I bet you do too. But who can blame us? It is half way through the second semester of the school year, and this is what I like to call the “mid-term slump.” It is the part of the year where you feel like you have been in school forevvver and your motivation is seriously lacking. It can even be a bit depressing. Don’t let the slump rule your life, take control! Here are a few ways to overcome it.

1. Find what isn’t working and change it: If your grades or slipping or you feel like you are losing connection with some of your friends, make a change! Change the way you study, and change the way you stay in touch and stay close to your friends.
2. Take care of yo-self: When your mind is in 20 different places and when you aren’t feeling motivated, it is easy to put taking care of yourself on the back burner. Don’t do that! Take care of yourself emotionally by writing in a journal or talking to a friend, and take care of yourself physically by taking a study or work break and going on a walk or working out. Keep yourself healthy and feeling good, it will help keep you out of the slump!
3. Talk to a friend: Let them know how you are feeling. Odds are, they are feeling slump-ish too! Talking about it can help, and you can both try and come up with ways to stay motivated!
4. Realize it will be over soon: Summer will be here before you know it, I promise. Counting down can sometimes make the time seem like it goes by slower. Quit crossing off the days and just enjoy the moment! These are some of the best days of our lives, so make them count!

Stay far from the slump, you will thank yourself in the long run!

XOXO, Chels

What Happens When You Quit Washing Your Hair

What Happens When You Quit Washing Your Hair
https://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/chelsea-crockett-What-Happens-When-You-Quit-Washing-Your-Hair.jpg

Recently I have been reading on my favorite bloggers’ sites that they barely wash their hair. Like, Cara Loren recently blogged that she doesn’t wash it for a week, and her hair is always so gorgeous! It blows my mind! How can people not wash their hair yet it still looks that good? I found out a few of their secrets, and today Ill share them with you. So, what exactly happens when you quit washing your hair so often?

1. You fall in love with dry shampoo: For people who go a while between lathers, dry shampoo is their bff. They rely on this miracle spray to keep their hair less oily and smelling nice! It also makes it easy to style.
2. It will be easier to style: Every time I go to a salon to get my hair done for events like prom and homecoming, the stylist always tells me to come with “dirty hair”. This is because it holds the style better! Clean hair is slippery.
3. Less split ends: Washing your hair is rough on it, between the lathering rinsing and repeating. It also dries out your ends, which leads them to split, so washing less = less split ends!
4. Your color will last longer: If you color or highlight your hair, you know that washing dulls your color over time. So, washing less = longer lasting color.

Now, I am not sure that I can go a week without washing my hair, but I could go a few days to see if I reap any of these benefits!

XOXO, Chels

Find Your Most Flattering Prom Dress

Find Your Most Flattering Prom Dress
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Chelsea-Crockett-Find-Your-Most-Flattering-Prom-Dress.jpg

It is April, so you know what that means…it’s time to choose a prom dress!!! It can be a huge task because there are so many options to choose from. Long or short? Sequins or no? Patterned or plain? Chiffon or satin? And what shape do you want your dress to be? Have no fear, Chelsea is here to give you tips on what prom dress fits your body type best to help you narrow down your choices and ensure that you feel like a princess on prom night.

1. Petite: For my ladies under 5 foot 3 inches tall, floor length gowns and full skirts may overpower your shape! Showing a little bit of leg with a shorter dress or wearing an a-line gown can go a long way in flattering your figure. Opt for a fitted dress with a v-neckline, or pleated skirts that will elongate your frame. Also, delicate, feminine dresses and heels are a good compliment to your body!
2. Pear: Pear shaped figures are when your hips are wider than your chest and your waist is well defined. For my pear-shaped ladies, your waist is your best asset, so work it girl! The goal is to add volume to your upper body and accentuate your small waist, taking attention away from your hips. A dress with a fitted open neck or strapless top and a A-line or full skirt is a good option!
3. Hourglass: This is my curvy girls! Work it! Your bust and hips are even with each other and your upper body is balanced with the length of your legs. Your best dress will accentuate your well-defined waist, so a natural waistline, form fitted top, v-neck, open neck, accentuated waist, and wrap dresses will enhance your figure!
4. Slender: For my slender ladies, the key is to accentuate your long and lean figure with a fitted gown. You can also draw attention to your shape with an empire waist, a belt, an a-symmetric neckline, or a dress with a slit!
5. Apple: The apple figure is when you are wider around the middle, and have slim legs and a shorter waist. A dress with an empire waist or sequined/jeweled top draws the eye upward towards your face, and if you love your legs, show those puppies off!

I hope you find the dress of your dreams!

XOXO, Chels

How to Avoid Prom Drama!

How to Avoid Prom Drama!
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Chelsea-Crockett-Prom-Drama.jpg

I love prom and school dances but oftentimes they come with stupid drama that can be so easily avoided! Situations get made into bigger deals than they actually are which can cause unneeded gossip and drama. I put together some tips on how you can avoid any prom drama this year so you can end the school year on a good note!

I know a couple schools around my area use social media to their advantage! A girl in the senior class usually creates a Facebook group for that prom year and adds anyone that is going into it! Then basically everyone keeps adding people they know that are going. The purpose is to post your dress once you finally purchase it. It lessens the amount of repeats and lessens the amount of drama when two girls have the same dress!

Once again, technology can save the day! If most of the people in your group have iPhones, make a prom group chat! Instead of one person coming up with picture and dinner plans, everyone can pitch in ideas and suggestions. You can even take a vote to make your schedule for the night! This way people can’t get mad about not getting a say in what their group’s plans are for the night.

Another tip is to plan ahead. Know who’s in your group, the time you’re meeting, where you’re going, etc. It’s never good to wait last minute. This will not only save you from unneeded drama, but will make your prom less stressful altogether!

Let me know how your prom night is :)! - Chelsea

Running Food 101

Running Food 101
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/chelsea-crockett-running-food-101.jpg

Running is one of the best stress relievers, AND it is awesome cardio! In order to get the most out of your run and be successful, you need to give your body the right fuel. Here are a few fueling tips to help you optimize your runs and fuel your body the right way.

1. Before your run: Before your run you need to eat foods that are filled with natural sugars that are easy to burn for energy. Bananas are one of these foods! Plus they are a great source of potassium AND are delicious.
2. During your run: If you are doing a long distance run, it is important to continually fuel your body so you do not run out of energy. Starbursts are great for this! They are easy to chew while running and pack a sugar punch.
3. After your run: Eat some oats! Oats are rich in carbs and also packed with protein and fiber. Grab a bowl of oatmeal with almond milk and fruit for the perfect recovery snack!

Happy fueling!

XOXO, Chels
