Our world is a beautiful, wonderful place that is meant to be traveled and explored. That being said, it is also a dangerous place to travel for a woman traveling solo. When I travel I take a parent with me, but I know a few of my friends that have traveled solo or with another girl friend. Traveling solo can mean a ton of freedom because the only person you have to worry about is yourself! But, there are a few things girls need to know before they go off and travel by themselves, just for safety reasons. Here are a few of the super-important ones.

1. Fill your family in: Before you leave, give your family back home your itinerary. Let them know what your travel schedule is, where you will be staying, and other such info in case they need to get in touch with you or if something goes wrong.
2. Take photos of important docs: Keep photos of your passport, ids, ticket numbers, and reservations with you or in the cloud online so you always have access to them in a crunch.
3. Pack light: This is so that criminals are less likely to rob you. If you are towing a large suitcase with a Coach purse on your arm, you are more likely to draw a robber’s attention. Small bags are also easier to get around with.
4. Don’t keep your money in one place: Keep some cash and a credit card on you, and then keep another set in your bag, and then another at the place you are staying just to be safe.
5. Don’t wear both headphones: Stay alert by only wearing one headphone. If you have both in you are less likely to hear if anything sketchy is going on around you.
6. Bring a selfie stick!: Solo travel means no one is there to take your picture on a moment’s notice. That is the beauty of selfie sticks! Plus, it means you don’t have to hand your camera to a total stranger to take a pic of you.

And, above all, have fun! Just have a safe time while doing it.

XOXO, Chels

How to Save Money in College

How to Save Money in College
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/bridesmaids-meme-generator-help-me-i-m-poor-75e0af.jpg

For me, college is just around the corner. Let me tell ya, I’m a little nervous! My biggest fear is monetary. College is crazy expensive as we all know. How do I save money when I have to pay for textbooks, food, tuition, and more! Having a job is almost a must, and it is difficult to do that and balance your course load at the same time. So, to ease your (and my) worries about saving money during college, here are a few tips.

1. Buy used textbooks: And then sell them back! Or rent them. Chegg.com is a great resource for this. Or you can even post the books on Facebook when your class is over and see if any of your friends need that book and can buy it from you! This is a much cheaper option over buying new textbooks.
2. Sell unneeded things: Do you have a closet full of old bags, clothes, games, or anything of value that you just don’t use anymore? Sell it! Every few dollars helps.
3. Shop & spend less: I know it is tempting to do a little retail therapy, especially after a tough exam, but resist the urge! There are other way more important things to spend your money on, like savings and tuition. When you do shop, shop with a purpose and only buy the thing you came in the store for. Also, shop at discount stores like Tj Maxx and Marshalls! I love those stores. And another thing, when you are out shopping, ask if they offer student discounts before you check out!
4. Apply for scholarships, buy your own food, and make your own coffee: Scholarships are free money, so apply for as many as you can! Also, instead of going to Chipotle for dinner, eat on campus or buy your own groceries and make a bunch of meals with them to save money. This goes for coffee, too. You can find yummy coffee “recipes” online that taste just as good as Starbucks, and for a fraction of the price!

Making small changes in the way you live during college can really help your wallet out! Only spend what you have budgeted, and keep track of what you spend. Saving money, no matter what amount, is so beneficial to you in the long run, and your future self and student loans will thank you!

XOXO, Chels

How to Find Scholarships
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Chelsea-Crockett-how-to-find-scholarship.jpg

College is one of the most expensive endeavors you will take on during your lifetime. It is crazy expensive. Like, CRAZY. So many college grads are buried in debt, and I am going to do my best not to be one of them. The most important way I am going to do this is by applying for scholarships! Scholarships are free money that you can apply for. Here are a few tips on how to find college scholarships.

1. Check your school’s website: The first place you should check for scholarships is the school you will be attending. Many colleges often have scholarships based on what year in school you are, what your GPA is, and your major. Your adviser will also have helpful info about your school’s scholarships!
2. If you are a minority: There are thousands of scholarships out there for minority groups. These kinds of scholarships are offered by states, charities, companies, and even by the government.
3. Your parent’s work: Check to see if your parent’s business or company offers scholarships. You can also check local companies in your town or city to see if they have any scholarship opportunities.
4. Search the web: There are tons of websites where you can input all of your personal info and school related qualifications and then they send you scholarships you qualify for. All you have to do is apply for them! The websites do all of the hard work for you.

Scholarships are a great way to be rewarded for your talents and achievements! Plus, they are free money! Who wouldn’t love that?

XOXO, Chels

Bad Night Time Beauty Habits

Bad Night Time Beauty Habits
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/chelsea-crockett-Bad-Night-Time-Beauty-Habits.jpg

Everybody has a habit or two they need to break. One of mine is waiting until I have one clean pair of socks left to do laundry. While that one is totally harmless, other habits can be more crucial to break. Some of these habits happen at night! Bad night beauty habits can be tough to break, but doing so can help you lead to a more beautiful life!

1. Not taking off all of your makeup: Pleeeease don’t break this rule! All sorts of germs and gunk builds up on your face during the day, including your makeup, which makes it a breeding ground for bacteria. It only takes a few minutes to give your face a good cleaning with a makeup wipe and some cleanser, and it will prevent future breakouts!
2. Sleeping in a ponytail: Sleeping with your hair in a ponytail can cause major breakage and can cause hair loss overtime! Let your hair free while you sleep.

   

3. Not switching your pillowcase often: Between your face and your hair, your pillowcase encounters a lot of oils and bacteria during the night. That gathers up on your pillowcase! Switch out your pillowcase once a week to keep the bacteria at bay.
4. Checking your phone: We all do it, but that doesn’t mean it is good! In order to get the best sleep possible, put your phone away two hours before you hit the hay. The bright screen causes your brain to not be able to shut off. Want to avoid eye bags? Put the phone away.

 

Hopefully these nighttime beauty habits help you get your beauty sleep!

XOXO, Chels

Be All Kinds of Pretty

Be All Kinds of Pretty
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/chelsea-crockett-be-all-kinds-of-pretty-.jpg

What does the word “pretty” mean to you? When you hear it, what do you think about? The vast majority of us associate the word pretty with appearance or looks. “That dress is pretty”, “Your eyes are pretty”, “That lipstick looks pretty on you”. Today we are going to talk about a different kind of pretty.

Let’s start being all kinds of pretty. Pretty kind, pretty smart, pretty tough, pretty funny, pretty strong, not just “pretty”. I saw a image the other day that summarized this and it really struck me. How many of us spend so much time worrying about what we look like and set aside other kinds of pretty? Our society is so focused on outside appearences, when what is the most beautiful about all of us is what is inside. I just wanted to challenge you to start thinking about having a pretty attitude, a pretty heart, and a pretty soul, not just a pretty face. That being said, your face is totally gorgeous. ;)

Its time to stop worrying about just being “pretty” and start being all kinds of pretty.

XOXO, Chels

Are You Using Your Cleansing Brush Right?

Are You Using Your Cleansing Brush Right?
http://www.chelseacrockett.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/chelsea-Crockett-Are-You-Using-Your-Cleansing-Brush-Right.jpg

Do you use a cleansing brush like a Clarisonic? If so, there are some crucial steps you really cannot skip when it comes to your cleansing routine! This doesn’t just mean cleaning the brush, it deals with so much more! Read on to learn about how to get the most out of your cleansing brush.

1. Use plenty of face wash and water: Fill the entire inner circle with cleanser, about a quarter sized amount, and then use the brush. Also, make sure you soak your brush in water to get the best pore cleaning action.
2. Keep it clean: Don’t share your brush…ever! Not with friends, not with siblings, no one! You don’t want to share bacteria with all of them! Clean the brush head with shampoo to keep the bristles clear of residue and oil after every few uses.
3. Don’t double exfoliate: Make sure you don’t use cleansing soaps that have microbeads or other rough exfoliates when using the brush. Double exfoliation is really rough on your skin!

Keeping that brush clean will help you get better skin, and longer use out of it!

XOXO, Chels
