Your Never On The Right Track If You Are Standing Still

So this has probably been the hardest and most stressful month in a long time. I have finally found happiness in my life and am loving the people that surround me. However this month there has been some challenging obstacles for me and I have had to make decisions that I never seen coming. All of this has made me take a good hard look at myself, what I am doing now, and where I am heading. I have come to the realization that this may be the perfect time to work on myself in ways that I didn’t think of before. Instead of starting this new online radio show this week like I had initially planned, I am going to start planning my next few months for self improvement and really think and plan out my business moves. Winter in Michigan is never a good time for film work, and is just ok for modeling work, so why not take that time off to “re-group”?? You are probably going to notice that my social media activity is a tad bit lower and maybe even obsolete, however I do plan to blog throughout the process. I plan to transform my body into what I know it can be, transform my business savvy into next level strategy, and transform my energy into a stress free me for those things to continue and to help me prosper. I already know that I am up against a huge challenge for myself. I am so used to pushing myself out there for people to see and hear, but I know what needs to be done, therefore I need to make it happen. No one else is going to push me to do it, so I need to strap myself in for the ride. These next few months can change a whole lot of things for not only myself but for my hubby and our kids, if the cards are played right, so I need to keep that in mind. I feel like I have been spinning my wheels for kind of a while so its time to reevaluate and reroute!

Please bare with me as I make this transformation and “re-group” myself. I know that you guys will understand. (Especially once you see the results that I have made!)

Perfect Food – RAW!!!

So right after having my daughter I, just like many other new found mothers, wondered how in the hell I was going to loose all the baby weight. And also like many others, I fall off the wagon if I don’t see good results fairly quickly…Soooo I was left wondering what would work well and work fast! I decided that I was going to go HIGH fiber LOW fat. Then there is the question of what foods to eat, how often, how much etc. I chose to eat all RAW veggies like carrots and celery, along side with PLAIN shredded wheat (And no not in milk as a cereal). With foods like this you can continuously eat all day long. Eating small portions of these all day long only aids in the process because you are keeping you metabolism running all day along with you. Not really understanding all the benefits to a raw diet, I stuck with it until I stepped on the scale and was satisfied. During the 3 months that I was on this raw diet I had not paid any conscious attention to how I felt after giving up all the processed foods I had been eating before. After dropping 30-35 pounds I stopped the raw diet and started to slowly fall back into the “processed food rut”.

So here I sit a few years later and battling with my weight, my energy levels, my sleeping patterns…etc. With more knowledge this time around about healthy diets and your body in general, I now know the benefits of eating organic foods, and especially eating RAW! Once again I am about to transform not only my eating habits but my life in general because of the effects that these foods have on your body. Every single time I eat fast food or out at a restaurant, I feel sluggish and run down. Eating a small salad with some fiber water on the other hand, I feel light weight and energized. You are fueling your body with natural energy when you are consuming natures foods. It sounds like something Grandma would tell you, but there is a reason for the saying “the older the wiser”.

Starting today I am changing everything that I consume!! If its not organic..its not as good for you, therefore I am on a mission to eat all raw fruits and veggies and make as much of them organic as I can manage. I am not a big veggie person so I was also pondering on how I am going to do this for good without hating to eat. I walked into The Better Health Store this afternoon and came across a product that was PERFECT for what I was looking for!! It is a pill form of what they call the RAW Green Super Food, meaning that its encapsulated raw organic veggie juice. These pills contain 34 different ORGANIC veggies to aid in the raw diet. So needless to say I am super exited that I can now add to the foods that I am going to be eating and do nothing but benefit without physically eating things that I don’t like. All these raw veggie are not only going to help to loose excess weight, but also going to boost energy levels, aid in a total body detox, help regulate digestion, level out blood sugar levels, and help support a healthy immune system. And thats just to name a few!
I am beyond ready to start back on the right track of taking care of myself inside and out, and eating like I should! I am ready to start feeling as good as I did last time I went raw! If you forget to think about how you are feeling, ya must be feeling pretty damn good. No headaches, no fatigue, no restlessness, no stomach aches…You just wouldn’t even believe!

The RAW diet is the perfect diet!! You can even find RAW multi-vitamins on the market now! They can supply you with everything you need to make RAW your new way of life! I am making the change now and sticking with it! I am tired of feeling this way and struggling to manage my weight.

Time to make that change!

Help In The Efforts To Create ‘Caylee’s Law’

Today as I was surfing through Facebook, I seen that Channel 4 News posted an interesting status. This post mentioned that a petition has been started in honor of Caylee Anthony, to create a law to hold parents responsible for failing to report their child(ren) missing. Defying this law will be considered a felony charge if ever convicted. As of this moment there are already over 148k people who have signed this petition for “Caylee’s Law” including myself! Join me and the thousands of others who are standing up for these innocent children! You can sign this petition by visiting http://www.itschantelmarie.com and click on the “Make A Difference” page!

A New “Traque” For Chantel??

I spent the past weekend in Chicago with the plans to change the destiny of not only myself but all of us as a family. I walked a 100 foot runway before 40 agents from all over the globe and had the incredible opportunity to talk one and one with them. Agents ranging from Ford, IMG, Willimena, BMG, Traque, Silver, and soo many more! After a photo review and stage walk, call backs were announced and low n’ behold Traque Model Management called out my number, #862. All the models who received a call back headed downstairs to talk more in depth about representation…long lines of models from all over the mid-west from lil’ ones to grown and sophisticated!

Then came my turn!! Lynn Traque, owner and president of Traque Model Management had interest in me and was very excited to start a business relationship. I can’t say now what will come of my call back from Lynn, but I am eager to find out! Lynn said that her director would be in contact with me very soon, so in the coming weeks, we will find out how prosperous we can make this relationship!

Needless to say, Chantel may be on a new “Traque”

Preparing For Chicago Invitational

So here I sit….8 days away from an invitational in Chicago that is potentially LIFE CHANGING!!!! Friday afternoon I hit the road for a 4 hour drive to the windy city to lay my dreams out on the floor and hope that at least 1 of the 30-40 most amazing modeling agencies of the word agree that I have something to offer the world! Saturday I will be spending time in skill building workshops and listening to lectures about the industry…then Sunday is the day to prove myself worthy of a MAJOR contract! This right here….is the opportunity that I have always dreamed of!!! You don’t get better than to have every single person that you could want to talk to, in the same room at once, all waiting to here what you have to say!

I plan to walk into this invitational head strong and confident as ever!  I didn’t come this far to take no for an answer, therefore I am going to show them everything I have!!! I would be stupid not to! This could be the key to the next door of my life…that leads to a much more prosperous one!

I hope that all of my fans, friends and family are supporting me and praying for me, that come next Sunday….I have a major contract with a world renowned agency!!

I will be sure to keep you all posted as the weekend goes on and the story unfolds!

My Search For The Most Amazing Hair Product

As we all know in the modeling business, your hair undergoes a lot of abuse from teasing, to irons to product and so on. My hair has not been very happy with this lately and has lost some of its awesome shine, and sometimes even seems excessively dry. With that being said, I have been on a mission the past few weeks, for a quick at home fix to revitalize my hair without the cost and time of going to the salon.  I have tried a few products thus far… and a few were really nice at first, but a few hours later, seemed like I didn’t ever even open the package! Two of the products that I have tried so far are truly amazing! I loved the results that I got from both of these products. The first being a hair masque called Last Call by Beyond The Zone. Very simple to use…simply apply thoroughly throughout your towel dried hair, leave in for about 5 mins and rinse well. Best part about this product is that I got a single use package of it from the beauty supply store for all of 99 cents!!!  The second product is an oil treatment called One ‘n Only Argan Oil. This oil is derived from Moroccan Argan Trees, and helps adds shine, smoothness, helps with frizziness, and even has color protector in it! For you ladies that use irons a lot like I do, this oil helps protect your hair from excessive heat as well! Lets not forget that this product is alcohol free…so it’s not going to do the opposite of what it tells us! Now this product costs a tad bit more than the masque does, but keep in mind that you are using a whole lot less of the oil than the masque. For a 2 oz bottle of the Argan Oil, expect to pay around $5. Still not bad huh ladies??? I can not complain!! The masque is something that you may want to use every once and a while, as for the oil I have been using it every day so far. Extra bonus is that my hair has been smelling amazing! Not exactly a scent that I have experience coming from a shampoo bottle!

Give these a try if you are one of those ladies like me, that want more out our hair!!! Take my word for it!

Willow Tree Spring 2011 Fashion Show – Solero Cafe’

Last night I was 1 of 15 beautiful models in the Willow Tree Spring fashion show that was held at Solero Cafe’ in Wyandotte MI…right down the street from their stores location. Featured designers included Funky Elder, and Precious Kitty. The show went very well, with minor complications, but everything was handled well by the staff of MAG Talent Agency. I will have more photos soon but for now take a look at this one from after the show!
