Gold Round Brushes

Lots of questions about my round brushes yesterday on my Instagram story!

If you watched, the brush below is the exact brush and size I use to round brush my bangs and top of my hair! Linking others below that, that I have used/think are pretty if your looking for a nicer looking brush!

NT-44 | $23

Brush set | $42

NT-54 | $23

Size up from the first brush listed, I use this for round brushing my whole head

Gold Ceramic Brush | $27

This is just more for brushing, and styling. not blow drying.

Dry Shampoo Foam

sharing Paul Mitchell’s Dry Shampoo foam with you guys tonight! I am LOVING this because I find it to be better and more cleaning/longer lasting then just spraying a powder in your hair!

I put the foam along my part and a little underneath and then take my blowdryer and fluff it all up like I normally would if I were blow drying the top of my hair!

Linking it below for you guys!

Dry Shampoo Foam | $23

Video of how to use will be highlighted on my insta stories!

Christmas Stuffing

Who here would love to be able to bring something super easy + impressive to the Holiday table this year?! If your answer is yes, your in luck! I’m sharing my sausage stuffing with you guys today! #notaprofessionalchef

I promise it’s a easy dish! The first time I made it I was like, oh, that was way simpler than I thought!

If you’ve read my blog before you know I say to make cooking your own! Feel free to follow this, or spice it up a little for yourself!

What you’ll need:

• 8 x 8 baking pan or casserole dish with deep sides

• 16 oz Pork sausage roll (like jimmy dean) this will be in the frozen section by your breakfast foods

• 1/2 cup diced celery

• diced medium size yellow onion

• 1 diced medium green bell pepper

• 1 heavy tsp minced garlic

• salt & pepper (eye it up)

• 14 oz package of seasoned stuffing (like Pepperidge farm)

• 3 tbsp melted butter

• extra non-melted butter on hand

• 2 (14 oz) cans of low-sodium chicken broth

What you’ll do:

1. Put a large skillet over medium heat and brown the sausage while breaking it up into little bits. Once cooked drain the sausage and put it into LARGE mixing bowl.

2. In the same pan add the onion, bell pepper, and celery (if needed add a tsp olive oil, but there should be enough grease from the sausage coking off), cook for about 2 minutes and add in garlic. season with salt + pepper to your liking and continue to cook the veggies until they are tender and the onions become clear. Mixing frequently. Once they are all tender and cooked through, add it to the bowl with the sausage.

3. Add the stuffing to the bowl and mix it with the sausage, bell pepper, onion, and celery. Mix everything together really well!

4. Pour the cans of chicken broth over the mixture and mix well. Drizzle the butter over it and mix well. When I’m saying mix I like to think of this more as a fluff well, you don’t want to be smushing all the bread crumbs and making them total mush! Just give it a fluffy mix (I normally do so with my hands).

5. Cover the bowl with Saran warp and let sit for 5 – 10 minutes.

6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. and grease a 8 x 8 casserole or baking pan with deep sides. Taste the stuffing and make sure it’s seasoned to your liking. Give it one more good fluff and then spoon it into the pan. Cut a tablespoon of butter into small pieces and dot the top with it.

7. Bake 25 minutes, uncovered for a crunchy top or cover with foil for a soft top. (I like crunchy better, but I bake for 15 minutes with it on and take it off for 10 sometimes)

Let me know if y’all have any questions!

(P.s.-If it looks super dry in pictures, that’s cause we fake made it 😂 I probably just poured a bag of the crumbs into a dish)

The Chelsey Rae Gift Guide

Okay, so – LAST GIFT GUIDE! And it’s my personal gift guide! …. it’s kinda pointless because I know since I have a wedding coming up I’m probably not getting any of it. But a girl can dream right? …. or a girl can end up gifting them to herself 😂 which is probably what will happen for some of it!

Anyway, collage below and description will be underneath!

Brown Leopard Hunter Boot | $166 • Love these because they are different than the norm! I may actually already have them on the way!

Rose Quartz Roller | $53 • Everyone is all into these! One of my best friends has one and it actually feels pretty good on your skin! They are supposed to bring circulation and oxygen to your skin, improving tone!

Toasted Eye Shadow Pallet | $40 • ummm the colors in this pallet are amazing! That’s is all!

May I Come In? Coffee Table Book | $65 • because I love a good coffeee table book and interior design!

Instant Pot | $80 • I absolutely need one of these! I hear nothing but good things about them and I love a quick way to cook a meal! Instead of cooking a roast for like 8 hours you can cook it for something crazy like 1 or 2! Yes please!

Marc Jacob Smart Watch | $295 • because if I had a smart watch THIS would be it! So cute!

Dyson + QUAI Blowout Set | $400 • I hear these blow dryers are AMAZING! Everyone that has them raves about them. I love the color of this one (white) and love that it comes with all the QUAI products!

Tory Burch Chain Link Tote | $135 • because you can never have enough totes!

Black Leopard Hunter Boot | $195 • I know what your thinking why would one need so many Hunter boots?! Well, it’s rainy here in Louisiana + we go skiing every year and this is what I normally wear in the snow!

If y’all request and get anything from my list y’all have to let me know so I can live vicariously through y’all! Pahaha!

Ryan Gift Guide

Here’s the long awaited men’s gift guide, haha! You guys have been asking so we finally sat down and got it done the other morning! Everything was picked out by Ryan and actually some of the things on the list are things he already has! I’ll add the collage here and then fill you in on the items below!

The DynaTrap | $115 • A mosquito trap that covers over 1/2 an acre. My mom and step dad actually purchased this for us last year because they had one and it’s CRAZY how amazing it works! They live in Destrehan where mosquitoes are always a problem, you can barely get in the pool once the sun goes down because they will carry you away! Since getting this you barely get bit! AMAZINGGGGGG & totally worth it, especially in Louisiana!

Garmin Golf Watch | $150 • supposedly this thing is something a guy that’s really into golf would like! Apparently it tracks some important stuff and helps you improve your swing/records shot distances. (I know nothing about this, but whatever)

Yeti Cooler | $200 • these are pricey but honestly are worth the money! It really stays cold for forever and everyone can use an ice chest! Also, how often do you buy ice chests?! This one is definitely long lasting!

Electric Shaver | $88 • Ryan says this is something every guy needs/likes!

Cotton Robe | $65 • something very cozy lovin’ guy would like! How often do you go to fancy hotels and like love those big old comfy robes?! I know I do haha! Ryan actually has a robe like this and it has became mine, I wear it every time I get out the tub pahaha!

BBQ Grill Set | $47 • doesn’t get more manly than this!

Coach Reversible Leather Belt | $87 • Ryan thew this on here because he has a coach leather belt he’s had for years that has held up so well! He wears it almost everyday! This one’s cool because it’s black and brown!

Primo Ceramic Grill | $1,000 • okay, yes this is a big gift! But, sometimes someone needs a big gift idea! We just purchased this for our back yard kitchen! Ryan loves it!

Nike Running Shoe | $107 • Men can never have enough Tennis shoes!

Ray Ban Sunglasses | $153 • sunglasses are always a great gift! I mean think about it, are you ever upset when someone gets you a pair?! NO!

Electric Toothbrush | $60 • this is a Greta gift because it’s something people like but probably don’t want to spend the money on themselves!

I-Watch 4 | $414 • Ryan probably put this on a list because it’s something he wants. And apparently every other guy wants this year! Pretty self explanatory, it’s a new tech toy so the men love it!

Compact Key Holder Keychain | $19 • okay now THIS is a good one! Ryan has one and so does my dad and they both love it! Instead of having your keys all flopping around you put them on this holder and they all stay together (if your not getting my drift it’s kinda the same way a pocketknife works).

Happy Manly Christmas shopping!
