SAG Awards viewing party with Degree & giveaway

"The new Degree Women Ultra Clear in Red Satin is all about protection against white marks, making it great for the red carpet." So, in honor or red carpets, Degree Red Dress allowed me to properly host my own Screen Actors Guild Awards soiree at my place.

For the full red carpet treatment, the deodorant company provided us with an at-home manicurist (Lena) so that my friends and I could get pampered as we watched the awards show.

I was especially excited to watch this year's SAG ceremony since I knew that the awesome Betty White was receiving the lifetime achievement award and I was definitely planning on tuning in for that. "Thank You For Being My Friend" is my cell phone's ring back after all and I have Mary Tyler Moore and The Golden Girls on DVD, both of which stars White.

To go with the night's red carpet theme, I requested that everyone come in a red dress or some sort of red attire, which made things quite festive. For drinks, I served three bottles of Montcadi Cava Rose (a redish colored sparking wine from Spain with a strawberry taste to it) with a scoop of pomegranate sorbet both from Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market. I also baked red velvet cupcakes with sweet cream cheese frosting. For decoration I pulled out the red table cloths, bowls, plates and bought a cheesy red carpet leading to my door for our own red carpet photos. Check out some of the glam that then transpired:

The new Red Satin deodorant meanwhile smells really pretty and fruity, you could wear it in lieu of perfume and everyone happily went home with their own stick.
