Frozen, the latest movie from Disney Animation Studios has everyone of all ages laughing and singing! Ever since the DVD release on March 18th, people everywhere are catching the Frozen buzz. Not only did this movie win the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film, but the song "Let it go," performed by the voice of Elsa by Idina Menzel is a spectacular hit and is even now a cover song performed by Demi Lovato!

As a quick synopsis for the movie, the optimist Anna (voice of Kristen Bell), has set out on a crazy adventure with mountain man Kristoff and his reindeer Sven to find her sister Elsa, who has been blessed with an amazing yet terrifying power. Elsa has the uncontrollable ability to freeze everything and has trapped the kingdom of Arendelle into an eternal winter. Attempting to save the kingdom, Anna sets off the find her sister who has locked herself far away to try to contain her power. Because the character of Elsa is so unique, we thought it would be a great idea to dress like the beautiful princess for prom! To get Elsa's princess look we have come up with the following tips - read on!

Get  The Perfect Icy Blue Dress

Elsa wore a stunning light blue long sleeved dress in the movie. We thought the Karishma style 3701 in light blue would be perfect for this look! It's a long-sleeved gown with jeweled neckline and a cutout back. A look made for a princess!

Finish Off Elsa's Frozen Look

Don't forget to complete the look with Elsa's fabulous make-up and hairstyle! We love her textured french braid and radiant orchid eye shadow! Watch the Disney exclusive Elsa hair tutorial by A CuteGirlsHairstyles below for DIY instructions on mastering Elsa's look.

Your friends have talked about it for months planning away and setting up airfares and  tours for their awesome spring break getaway to a tropical destination. However, given the astronomical price of the trip, you will not be joining. There is no reason to be bummed out, though - a lot of girls spend spring break at home or on campus for many different reasons. So, for those hanging back, we came up with some ways to fill up your week without emptying your wallet, all while still enjoying your time like you were away on vacation! Read on for some fun and simple Spring Break ideas.

Road Trip It

Just because you didn't plan a lavish resort getaway doesn't mean you have to stay in the house all week. Grab a buddy and take a road trip to somewhere you haven't been in a while, possibly even to a family member's or old friend who moved away. This way, you could save cash on a place to stay. The trip will give you a chance to bond with someone, and have a real adventure. Remember to pack a cooler with drinks and snacks so you don't have to spend money on the road.

Volunteer

Be a do-gooder! Use your week off to do something to benefit others by volunteering somewhere like a community center, nursing home, or animal shelter. It's a great way to spend your week, and you'll for sure feel like it was time well-spent. For a list of places looking for help, check out www.volunteermatch.org.

Spend Time Outdoors

Use the good weather to your advantage by getting a new outdoor hobby like bike riding or hiking. Take it to the beach and play volleyball or Frisbee in the sand! Make it an all day event by having a picnic or barbecue with family or friends. Not only is this good for your mind, but good for your body, too!

Spring Cleaning

Rainy day? Spend some time inside spring cleaning! Go through your closet and make a pile of clothes you know you are never going to wear again. Then, donate the clothing to charity or bring higher priced items to a consignment shop. You will feel refreshed after you eliminate clutter and have room to buy some new Summer stuff.

Focus on YOU!

Our last Spring break idea is to make sure to take some hardcore "you time." Be selfish for a few days and focus only on yourself. Catch up on sleep, or dive into a book you have always wanted to read. Learn something new by taking a dance or cooking class. The possibilities are endless!

The perfume company CHANEL recently created a whole website to tell the history of the company and how it all came to be. There's so much interesting information behind the company and perfume that we wanted to share it with all of our Roo Girls! The story dates all the way back to 1883 when Gabrielle Chanel was born.

Of course, CHANEL No 5 perfume is the most well-known of the CHANEL collection, and is one of the most well-known perfumes of the world. So, we were happy to see that "Chapter 1" of "Inside CHANEL" started with the story of how CHANEL No 5 came to be! The fragrance was created in 1921 for the first time, and has such a beautiful story behind it. Watch it here:

We loved learning the story behind the perfume coming to be was that Chanel sought to create:

"A woman's perfume with a woman's scent. Her scent should be as important as her style of dress. A woman should wear perfume wherever she would like to be kissed."

The perfume was the first time a perfume wasn't based on only one floral scent, and it certainly made an impact on the perfume industry from there on out. It's become a classic and iconic scent that has truly tested time. It's even been honored by the Museum of Modern Art in NYC, and the famous artist Andy Warhol even included it in a series of his paintings! And of course, you can't look over Marilyn Monroe being known for wearing the perfume, revealing that she wears to bed, "just a few drops of No 5." And, ever since then, so many more celebrities, even Brad Pitt, have promoted the perfume. Our favorite part of the whole first video, though may be how it ended: "No 5 resists the whims of fashion and the passage of time, as of Mademoiselle Chanel had found the formula for the feminine eternal." It definitely sounds like she has!

There's so much more to the CHANEL story than just this Chapter 1 video, though, and definitely too much to include in only one blog post! There are 10 full "Chapters" to the story, as well as an interactive timeline, all on their website at Inside.Chanel.com. If you love CHANEL and CHANEL perfume, it's definitely a fun website to check out. Enjoy!
