BRONZEALICIOUS!

So I was tweeting that I was watching "Jerseylicious" and my sister said "DO A BLOG POST WITH A JERSEY LOOK" well it is her birthday so I will emberass myself by doing this. But it was fun. And I fist pumped this look!

So behold, the stereotypical Jersey girl! Bronzer, HEAVY black liner, nude glossy lips, clumpy lashes, bronzer, bronzer an bronzer! And a massive poof!!!

I look like an Oompa Loompa! But I do this for you!

Happy Birthday Sam!

Dietlicious!

Hello lovelies!

I fell of the diet wagon, just like in the Oregon Trail. Actually I don't think you could fall off the wagon, but you could get poisonous berries or chicken pox or have your wagon sink.

That game was awesome.

Anywhozie! I need to get back on! And I'm gonna blog about it! Not all of it but bits and pieces. I'm a picky eater and chocoholic so we'll see how this goes.

I picked up some goodies today! I love the South Beach Diet Cereal Something Something Really Effing Long Name Protein Bars for breakfast and sometimes lunch, depends on my day! One of those and a cup of 1% milk = awesome.

And then I was thinking....hmm lunch....and I came to this conclusion, need something quick and easy to put together and deliciouso! So I got a bar of cheese. Hahaha bar of cheese in Pepper Jack, cut off a serving size and proceeded to cut into smaller little chunks for my crackers. Crackers of choice are Thin Wheats, that is storebrand name for Wheat Thins: Reduced Fat Edition. Serving size is 16, so that is quite nice.

I like chocolate. So I picked up whatever the frig these awesome little rice cake things are that everyone recommended to me. They taste like the Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies!

And then for a nightly "dessert" I got chocolate graham crackers. Because well, they're healthy enough for me lol. 2 cracker sheets are 140 calories! Hooray!

My biggest problem is I drink too much milk. So I gotta, well, drink less. Its only 1% but I'm bad. And its probably why I'm 6 foot and growing. Maybe. But I do love Coke Zero but I hate the taste of water.

Haha, just being honest!

So question time! What are your favorite healthy/diet snacks and workout DVDs? I'm thinking about getting workout DVDs since going to the gym is near impossible some days.

What is this sleep you talk about?!

Now Playing: "Last Name" by Carrie Underwood

Hello Lovelies!

Midterms are over! PHEW! They started last week with Criminology and ended on Thursday with Forensics. Overall, I feel confident about my grades. I know I got an 85 on my Criminology midterm, but I'm accepting of it since its my first time with that professor. So now I'm awaiting the results of two more. Oh and I have a paper to write. Oh and a major to declare.

Yes, you read that right. After constantly changing my mind for the past two years, I am going to change my major from Criminal Justice to Forensics or Chemistry. Either way, it is going to lead me to a career in forensics. But so my CRJ classes don't go to waste, I may either double major (I know! Crazy) or just do it as a minor. Nonetheless, I'm excited! I'm ready!

I've also had a personal problem bugging the crap out of me. And I want your opinion. Person A has been telling me lately that Person X is not at all the reason for a...uhm...major event. In fact A insists X had nothing to do it, when it has been confirmed X definitely had a role in the aforementioned major event. I know A is lying. A is pissing me off by denying this. I want to freaking yell at A and tell him to STFU and stop lying. That wouldn't be good.

Do I just let A continue lying to me? And yes they keep bringing this up. What to do? And ohemgee that was hard to do using letters and other substitutes. But it has been pissing me off. Almost as much as certain class I'm taking..

Ok! Enough with the Negative Nancyness! Just wanted to tell you all what is on my mind! Thank you to all my new subscribers! :)

WHAT THE FRIG IS IN MY PURSE?!

Currently Listening To: "I Go To The Barn Because I Like The" by Band of Horses (AKA the amazing song played at the end of Psych's season finale, "Mr. Yin Presents...")

Hello lovelies!

So I lucked out today! All of my classes were canceled! So, I'd be silly not to celebrate by doing a quick post! I thought I'd do the "What's In My Purse" tag that has been traveling around the blogosphere!

The Purse: Vera Bradley "Morgan" in Cupcakes Pink. I love huge purses, even more so during the school year because I tend to pack and bring everything with me. I usually also pack in a Chocolate South Beach Diet Cereal Bar (which are amazing and a great deal!) and a water bottle!

203
I love her but she gets dirty and after a few washes, the colors tend to fade!

204
Biggest thing in my purse is my clutch from Sephora that was full of samples but now houses pens, pencils, highlighters, post-its and a calculator! And my weird tube shaped Purell!

211
Betsey Johnson sunglasses that were like $90 last season but my TJMaxx had them at the same time for $15! Score! I love 'em, had them since my senior year but they aren't prescription, meaning I'm blind in them! I'm near-sighted! The pink journal is full of my to-do lists! I know, crazy but its my system!

210
Phone = LG Dare, iPod nano pink (I MISS MY ZUNE!), my little ID thing for school, the C is for Chelsea! Hahahaha! It my real name (bonus points if you know what I'm talking about!).

214
Everything in my little makeup bag!

mcmjnyho
The next bag I want to get! A Marc by Marc Jacobs (gotta represent the NY designers!) "Pretty Little Hobo!" I love it. Its big and black and amazing quality! My birthday is in May... ;) Its so simple but cute and would fit everything I need!

mcmjlthobo
Love this bag too, but its $400 and another MBMJ! But it is huge and all leathaaa. Damn you, Alexa for making me love MBMJ! ;)

♥ Chelsea

What bag do you rock? Does it weigh like 500 pounds like mine?!

Beautiful Lengths

Hello lovelies!

This is going to be a more serious post but its something I really want to share and spread the word about. Hair.

I know, personally, my hair is like my personality. Its bright, red and curly. And I can't imagine losing it. But for a lot of people suffering from cancer, they lose ALL their hair because of cancer treatment. They're losing a part of them. I've heard stories of women being to embarrassed to shop, work or just go out.

A very, very close relative of mine had undergone cancer treatment and lost her hair. When I saw that, I knew that one day I wanted to donate my hair.

And today I did. Today I donated 8 inches to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths to make beautiful, durable, realistic wigs for cancer patients.

Pantene, unlike some other similar charities, is a partner to the American Cancer Society. As Pantene puts it, "A real-hair wig allows a woman to look in the mirror and at least see a familiar face while she fights to regain a sense of normalcy in her life."

Couldn't have said it better. So what can you do?! Donate!!

Its so simple and you'll look and feel good!

All you have to do is just sacrifice 8 inches of hair to make someone feel beautiful again, to give someone confidence again.

That's it!

Visit here for information about donating and for more information about the cause visit here !!

Hair too short to donate? Spread the word! And grow that hair! Keep it healthy!!

Before, middle of my back. Like my pants ;) Haha

Now my hair is above my shoulder!

The hairdresser kept telling me she never saw hair that thick!!

TA-DAAAAA! That's my hair in the bag hahahah. & I know I look like shat, sleep deprivation!!

Zoya: Reece!

Hello Lovelies!

Ok, I know I'm a horrible blogger for not updating much this week. Its midterm season my loves! I've got my first midterm this week! So my posts will be lacking! I apologize in advance!

Now onto the beauty blogging goodness. I'm going to start to do a nail of the week segment! I scored Zoya's new Spring collection and its gorgeous! So I thought once a week or maybe shorter! I'd do reviews featuring colors from their Reverie line! For more information about Zoya polishes, read my first review back in the fall (Here!)

043
Reece, Laney, Adina, Lana, Gwin and Happi

The collection can be bought together for $36, which is like getting one free because one bottle is $7 (7 * 6 = 42 - 7 = 35). But anywhozie! This week's color feature is "Reece"!

When I saw the name I thought of Reece Witherspoon and then I thought about Legally Blonde and then thought of this color! Because its a pink (can appear as a hotter pink or darker pink, depending on the lighting!) with golden undertones! Or as Zoya says "gilded rose metallic". That too!

035

Love it! Such a great Spring/Summer color!!!!

Be on the look out for perhaps a big post tomorrow ;)

Dearest FTC, I won these polishes. K? K. Good! H&Ks
