Saturdays At Shop This: Oscar Edition

{ Via: Vogue  }

It's a little odd that today's post focuses on the Oscars, since I haven't seen a darn movie. We hope to rectify that with a movie date on Valentine's Day.  Margot Robbi, shown above is a two time Oscar nominee this year.  Love her sophisticated but simple look. Scroll down for all things Oscar like swag bag items, fashion, food and more.

 
Even more than the gowns at The Oscars, I love the hair and beauty on the red carpet. Rita Hazan's shine balm is part of the swag that the actors and directors receive. Shop this beauty brand at 
Dermstore and get free shipping.

Another freebie for the celebs is a beautiful Alpaca Throw by Johanna Howard. See it in dip dyed classic blue at
One Kings Lane

Under The Stars: While the stars are getting their beauty sleep, they also are receiving some extra star power. Another gift, that sounds very cool is the "BlissLights SkyLite Galaxy Projector." It's Amazon's #1 Best Selling nightlight. Bring the outside in. Perfect for the kiddies, too.

 Oscar De La Renta will be represented on the red carpet. Rumor has it that pink might be big this year. I wonder if anyone will wear Look #32 from the Spring Collection or Look # 18 from the Fall Collection. Both are 
dreamy confections.

One of Hollywood's best known skincare experts is Kate Somerville. I bet that she hasn't had an open appointment for a month or two. Her clinic is delightful, and "Miss Shop This" thought it was the best facial ever. Lucky for us all we can get her products on line. What to start with? Exfolikate! Get a free gift with purchase this weekend.

The Oscars Governors Ball:  The menu will be 70% plant based this year. How fabulous! Studies show that a plant based diet keeps away disease and inflammation. I have not gone there yet, but it is a goal for the year, at least for part of my meals.  Goop offers some very interesting articles, menues, recipes and plant based products. Worth a look.

Celebrity Make Up Tips: Sir John, the superstar makeup artist who works with the likes of Cate Blanchett and Jessica Chastain, states that his clients are looking for that "lit from within" look. Take another peek at my post: Red Carpet Beauty for products that illuminate.


Who will wear what remains to be seen.  Enjoy the show, and remember to always go for the gold!

Foodie Friday: Sweets For The Sweet


They say that nothin' says lov'n like something from your oven, and the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Both of these are true for me.  This post promises to give you and those you love, a sugar fix in the prettiest way. Be sure to scroll through all of the recipes, to find poached pears with something "extra," and a martini recipe for two.


Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cakes
Having a dinner party? Individual desserts make such a stylish statement."Moist chocolate cake, fresh strawberry buttercream, drippy chocolate ganache, and a gorgeous chocolate-dipped strawberry complete these romantic desserts."

Blood Orange Coffee Cake
If you haven't cooked with blood oranges before, you are missing out. The intense color and flavor they add to a dish is fabulous! Make this coffee cake for a delicious way to start their day.

Broken Heart Cake
This recipe cracked me up. See what I did there? It's the perfect recipe for the broken hearted or those who hold the holiday in disdain. Don't panic. This cake is made with a mix!

Brazilian Chocolate Truffles
There's nothing like a bowl of chocolates. I think a bowl is even better than a box of them. According to Tiegan, Brazilians make their truffles differently. Click the link to see how.  Hint: 
It's not difficult.

Strawberry Protein Fluff
This may be the perfect dessert. It's guilt free and tastes like ice cream and whipped cream combined. And it has only 65 calories!

No Bake Chocolate Raspberry Tart
Gluten Free ~ Refined Sugar Free ~ Dairy Free ~ Paleo and Vegan! If you are keeping your New Year's resolutions, this dessert will keep
 you on track.

Wine-Poached Pears with Cannabis Rum Cream
Surprise your sweetheart, with a little something EXTRA for dessert.  
Isn't this fun?

Black Forest Crepes
Said to be very simple. These chocolate crepes are made even better with a light and fluffy cherry cream filling.

Gluten Free Red Velvet Cake
Doesn't this look yummy? This is an easy gluten free red velvet cake recipe from scratch. Of course that frosting is a cream cheese icing - the only way to go with Red Velvet.

No-Churn Raspberry Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
No churn, means easy. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting for it to thicken and freeze. I use the basic recipe once a week when I make my own ice cream. You can get the darling chocolate ice cream cups at Amazon.

Champagne Ganache-Stuffed Cherries
Party perfect! The ganache is made with white chocolate.I would say that these cuties are better than a 
bowl of cherries!

Red Velvet Cream Cheese Ice
 Cream Cake
Oh my goodness! This ingredient heavy recipe looks as if it is worth all of the steps. Wow!

Chocolate Swirl Tiramisu
This is a bit of a tiramisu cheat, but who cares? You don't have to make the ladyfingers, store bought are fine. 

Molten Peanut Butter and Chocolate Fondant Cakes
This is a showstopper, and it has my name all over it. Don't be intimidated by how it looks.  It is super easy.

Nutella Raspberry Martin
Yes, I would love to drink my dessert! This recipe is chocolatey, sweet, and nutty. Chambord adds the perfect flavor. Yum!
