The average collegiate cook can whip up a packet of Ramen like nobody’s business. If she wants to get fancy, she could probably grill some chicken on the side. But seafood? Summer’s ultimate entrée indulgence isn’t exactly a regular on the typical sorority cookout menu. Sure, it’s pricier, and sure, it has a drastically shorter shelf life, but if you’re looking for something special and seasonal to serve this week, we’ve got the who’s who of surf grub right here!

Scallops
What to get: Fresh sea scallops
Why they’re tasty: A single 4 oz serving carries 33% of  your recommended daily value of vitamin B12, crucial to cardiovascular health

Lobster
What to get: Ripe, red Maine lobster

Last week I held a little contest in honor of my 50th (!!) vid, rewarding the winner with a personalized video to be aired on CC Beauty Live. I was hoping for more entries, but we did get a lot of good video ideas! I did a random number generator anyway and it picked a winner.

And that winner is…
Ashley!

Ashley said, “I was hoping you could do a video about the best way to add angles to a really round face.”

Well Ashley, this is known as contouring in the makeup world and it’s actually really easy to do! I usually only contour my face for photo shoots, but for girls with round faces it’s an easy everyday trick. And you can use products you probably already have!

I want to thank everyone for entering, and I will be taking all of your suggestions for future videos so keep watching every week!
