Oscar Viewing Party

Oscar Viewing Party 2017

I have always been a movie buff and as such, I have watched the Academy Awards ceremony every year for as long as I can remember.  Back in 2003 and 2004, I had the honor of attending the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) Oscar Viewing Parties in Los Angeles, CA.  The event is hosted by Sir Elton John and David Furnish and it is a who's who of Hollywood and those in the music industry.  2017 marked EJAF's 25th year anniversary and to date, the events have raised over $350M to end HIV and AIDS.

Dress to Impress

Following my attendance at the parties, I began hosting my own viewing parties.  I mean, once you dress up for the Academy Awards, there's no going back, right?  My daughter Ava is now my co-host and we dress up, serve delicious appetizers, and watch all of the fashion trends in anticipation of seeing the winners and hearing their acceptance speeches.

This year, Divine Lifestyle online media magazine – www.divinelifestyle.com –  secured a wine donor for our party, Frances Ford Coppola Winery. Frances Ford Coppola Winery is the only wine poured at the Academy Awards and Governors Ball.  “What seems logical to me is that if anyone's going to provide wine to the Academy, it ought to be the Coppola family.”  Frances Ford Copolla

Making the cut.  Director's Cut “Cinema Premiere 89th Edition” wine was enjoyed by the adult guests at the party.  Thank you Frances Ford Copolla Winery.

Hidden Figures

We are routing for Hidden Figures!

Math and Science are for Girls

My daughter and I were rooting for “Hidden Figures” to win in all categories it was nominated. “Hidden Figures” might not have taken home the gold, but it definitely left a lasting impression on my daughter and the many options in math and science that are possible for girls and women.

We hope you loved Simply Amazing Living's “Oscar Viewing Party 2017” post.

Our trip through France was incredible!🇫🇷 From the iconic charm of Paris, strolling down the Champs-Élysées and soaking in the magic of the Eiffel Tower 🗼, to the glamorous shores of Cannes, where the vibe is all about luxury and seaside beauty 🌊. Nice was a sun-soaked dream with its stunning beaches and vibrant Promenade des Anglais ☀️🏖️. And Nimmes, with its rich history and Roman architecture, took us on a journey back in time 🏛️. Feeling grateful for these unforgettable moments and the beauty of each unique city. France, you were amazing and I can’t wait to return! 🥖🍷❤️ #FranceAdventures #Paris #Cannes #Nice #Nimmes #TravelDiaries #wanderlust

I got my flu shot this year and I feel that it’s not just a repeat, but a powerful reset! 💉🔄 #FluShot2023 1. Guarding Our Community Shield 🛡️ This year, more than ever, let’s unite to protect our community. The flu shot isn’t just about personal immunity—it’s about building a collective shield against the flu. By getting vaccinated, we contribute to a healthier, safer environment for everyone. 🌍💙 2. Learning from the Past, Paving the Future 🚀 Each flu season is an opportunity to learn and adapt. The flu shot isn’t a rerun; it’s an evolved formula, finely tuned to combat the latest flu strains. Embrace the power of progress and step into a future where we actively outsmart the flu. 🧠💪 3. Protecting the Vulnerable ❤️ Our loved ones, especially the vulnerable in our communities, rely on us. The flu can be severe for certain populations, and by getting vaccinated, we create a safer space for those who need it most. Let’s be the guardians of their well-being. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🌈 4. Breaking the Chain of Transmission ⛓️Getting the flu shot isn’t just a personal choice; it’s a commitment to breaking the chain of transmission. Let’s interrupt the flu’s journey from person to person, creating a healthier environment for all. It’s a small action with a big impact! 🚫🤒 Let’s make the flu shot a symbol of our resilience, unity, and commitment to a healthier future! 💉💚 To find a location to #getyourflushot, visit stopflu.org or click the link in my bio. #HealthIsWealth #FluShotStrong @StopFluNow #ad
