September 2013 Favorites

It's October 1st. Like, what? Since when is 2013 almost over? Not that I'm not excited, I'm super pumped about the weather getting cooler and the leaves changing colors. It is finally starting to smell like fall and that makes me extremely happy. Only a few people know what I'm talking about when I say that I can smell fall. No, it's not the smell of the food or the bonfires. The actual air has this sweet, musky smell. I guess not everyone can smell it, but I'm so glad that I can.

Anyway, off that random soapbox. 

Now that September is over, I thought I would go over my favorite things from this month. 

Let's start with fashion!

I have been LOVING cardigans this month. I have always worn them, but this month in particular, I have realized how much they can add to an outfit. They dress up a normal t-shirt and jeans, or they add a little something extra to a dress or skirt. Sadly, I tried to get a picture of my three favorites, but even after getting all the wrinkles out, they still looked super wrinkly in the pictures. You'll just have to trust me on this one. 

I bought my first pair of Keds a few weeks ago, and along with wearing them every day to work, I've been wearing them to hang out with friends and to church on Sunday and Wednesday nights a lot. They are so comfy and super cute!

In my last post, I mentioned the sweatshirt I got at the Fun. concert. Y'all, this sweatshirt is SO SOFT! I wore it with a pair of white shorts and my Keds a while ago, and it was so comfortable. I got it in an XL so it would be even more comfy.

Now for beauty favorites. 

In my zoo post, I mentioned how much I loved the Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze. The obsession is still going strong. Let me tell you a little story about the first time I wore this stuff. 

It was the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, and I wore it to church. After church, we went to the lake for Wyatt's birthday. I wasn't planning on getting in the water, but my lovely brother decided that  he should splash me with the Sea-do a few good times while I was kayaking. If you've ever been splashed with a Sea-do, you will know that you may as well have dunked your head underwater. It's no light splash. Anyway, after all of that, I completely expected my makeup to be smeared, if not completely gone. When I looked in the mirror that night, this is no lie, it was still perfect. After that, I became a true believer in Color Tattoo. 

I never thought I would be so stuck on a product that I would sit and write a story about it, but this stuff is incredible. 

Along with the Color Tattoo, I have been loving Revlon's Lash Potion mascara. I was wearing this on the lake day as well, and it went nowhere. Plus, I really like the way the tube looks. 

(Both of these are products that one of my favorite YouTubers recommended. I'll put her links at the end if you want to check her out.)

Now, obviously, since those last two products can withstand extreme force water, they are pretty hard to get off at night. But not since I found this gem. 

I have used liquid makeup remover and wipes, but I thought this one looked cool since it's like a gel. Not only does it work perfectly and feel amazing, it smells awesome. I never thought makeup remover could smell good, but if they made perfume that smelled like this, I would buy it. 

Speaking of smelling good, I was given some Bath and Body works products as a gift a few weeks ago, and this stuff smells amazing. I use all three things on a daily basis. 

Also from Bath and Body Works, I picked this scrub up for half price at the beginning of the month. It smells great and it feels like a massage every time I use it. I limited myself to once a week so it would last longer. 

Now for random favorites. 

I got a new phone about a week ago! I got the pink iPhone 5c. I honestly didn't think I would like it, but I love it. And of course, I got a cute case from work. 

With the phone, of course, came new earbuds. Let me tell you something. The earbuds that came with my first iPod and my iPhone 4 were horrible. I hated them. I had to turn my music all the way up to really hear out of them, they barely fit in my ears, and if you were standing next to me, you could hear what I was listening to as clearly as I could. So I was skeptical about these new ones. Can i just say that my mind was BLOWN? These earbuds are incredible. The sound is awesome and they fit in my ears perfectly. I was going to have to go buy some new ones, but now I have these and they were free with my phone. 

So, it's no secret that I LOVE all things pumpkin. To kick off this year's obsession, my cousin bought me these:

Like, I can't stop eating them. You should try them. 

And now for music favorites!

These are the songs I've had on repeat for the past month. 

Yes, I love the Fox song. I can't get enough of it. It makes me smile.

I know that this is an old song, but seriously, it's amazing. If you don't know this band or this song, look them up right now.

THIS. I love singing it in worship on Sunday mornings, so I had to buy it. I probably listen to this song 6 times a day. 

Yes, people. I'm an unashamed Directioner. 

Last Friday was Homecoming for Chelsea. I still love tailgating and going to the football games, since my brother plays. I had a ton of fun Friday and it was good to see old classmates and teachers. 

The food was amazing

The football wasn't too bad, either.

So now on to my human favorites. 

The male YouTuber I've been loving this month (actually, I've been loving him all year) is Joey Graceffa. This guy is hilarious and so open. I enjoy his daily vlogs and how he shares the exciting things in his life with us. You should check him out. He's pretty awesome. 

The female YouTuber I've been especially loving this month is Zoella. She is hilarious, sweet, and not to mention beautiful. 

Links for both of them will be at the end. 

My real life human favorites (the ones that I actually know) are these two cuties. 

Meet my brother and his precious new girlfriend. He and I have been getting closer as we are getting older and since I'm home from school. I am so happy that he met this sweet girl and I can't wait to get to know her better. 

Okay, so I have a contest for ya. I need a new name for my blog, cause I know that six trillion people have a blog called Inside Out Beauty. If you can come up with a more original name, you will win a hug and possibly a drink from the coffee house of your choice. 

Alright, folks. Thanks for sticking with me through this. That's all for today. Please show me some love in the comments to let me know that someone is actually reading this stuff. 

And here's all those links I promised.
