Photography, Adventure, Glitter, and (Vegan) Cupcakes

When my parents visited, we went on the scenic canal boat tour in Winter Park, Florida. Here is a video compilation!

We visited Central Florida Zoo recently, in Sanford Florida, with my parents when they visited. This is a compilation of the photos and video from that day. Enjoy!

Hello! Many of our friends and family have recently asked us, “How hard is it really to be vegan?” Well, it’s really not that hard. We decided to make a list of some of our favorite vegetarian & vegan recipes, products, and websites for you to enjoy! Dairy Products: ·          Silk Brand Soy Yogurt ·          Earth Balance Organic Spread (butter substitute, this stuff is delicious and we put it on everything—zero cholesterol and you can find it at Walmart) ·          Just Mayo Brand mayonnaise—It tastes just as good as the real thing but less fat and no cholesterol, and you can find it at Walmart too. ·          Favorite non-dairy milk is definitely Cashew Milk. It’s creamy like the real deal but again no cholesterol and just as much Vitamin D. ·          Ben & Jerry’s Non-Dairy Ice cream (the coffee caramel flavor is TO DIE FOR and so is the chocolate fudge) ·          A really healthy alternative to mac n cheese is the Engine 2 Diet’s recipe for mac n chee

Everyone knows I'm budgety as can be when it comes to Fashion. Well, one of my favorite fashion "things" is the OPP Swap N Shop that is held in Winter Park, Fl, several times a year. On January 23, around a hundred women gathered with bags of their gently used clothing. Admission was $15, which apparently went to some form of charity. All the clothing is organized by type and thrown on different tables--dresses here, pants there. At 7:00, the visitors were set loose to pick out whatever we wanted. What a great way to get rid of old and bring in the new!  Here was my score: Most of the items were name brand, and for the $15 admission PLUS the idea of getting rid of things I no longer needed, it was WELL worth the visit. I can't wait to do some photo shoots to show off all my treasures I scored! Much love to all, Chelsea

I wanted to post the very beginnings of my Rapunzel-inspired costume. Of note: 1) I am buying a bigger, lighter-colored wig that I can braid with flowers and ribbon. 2) The dress needs a LOT of embellishments--Pink laces instead of purple, floral embellishments down the front and across the hem, and the striped puffs at the sleeves. Like I said, work in progress. Here's the inspiration: With that said, here's my skeleton of a Rapunzel: 

Hi Ya'll! It's time for my latest installment of "shit I bought at the thrift store recently". Bear in mind that These were not all on the same trip. I would be broke. :) First up, dusty rose ruffled top by Lauren Conrad (typically sold at Kohl's), $3 I just really liked the Black and White version. Whoops. #selfabsorbed Next up, white tee with sequins, Express Brand, $3. Purple shorts, $3 So the only thing in this photo I bought this month was the pale blue shorts ($3). However, the boots are from a previous thrift store trip, the tank is from Old Navy (around $4), and the lace top I got as a Christmas gift but it's from Kohl's too. I am starting to really embrace this crop top thing. I LOVE this one I found (around $2) and the black pencil skirt, which I've been meaning to find for like, forever. Skirt, $2.69 Little black dress with ruffle embellishment, $6. Belt I already had, but it's from the c
