Luxurious and silky, this coconut-creamed cauliflower soup is infused with aromatic spices like cardamom, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. So good, it's the only cauliflower soup you'll ever want to make.

Carla's duplex in Savannah had been rented to students and not updated in decades before she bought; one of the toilets almost fell through the floor when renovation began. Two years later and the whole place looks entirely different!

I am so excited for today's collaboration with my dear friend and movie connoisseur, Scottie Knollin. Scottie is an accomplished writer, blogger and movie critic. To see his work you can visit his blog, www.AllTheHitsSoFar.com, or his weekly movie column for Atlantic Station, At The Movies With Scottie. You can also keep up with him on Instagram and Twitter at @allthehitssofar. Makeup is magic, as MakeupByAundi makes very clear. It can cover blemishes as if they aren't even there. It can change the appearance of the face's form by subtle shadowing and enhancing. It's no wonder that the worlds of makeup and film have collided over the years for some of Hollywood's most glamorous and memorable images. Join me in celebrating some of the greatest moments in Hollywood special effects makeup, then head over to AllTheHitsSoFar.com to check out MakeupByAundi's picks as the most memorable Hollywood makeup icons. 10. Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf, LA VIE EN ROSE (2007) (Makeup Artists: Jan Archibald and Didier Lavergne) Cotillards' beauty was completely masked by Oscar-winners Jan Archibald and Didier Lavergne as she became every facet of the great French singer Edith Piaf. Cotillard won the Oscar for her career-boosting performance, but much of that award can be attributed to the incredible makeup work done to bring her character to life. 9. Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS (1990) (Makeup Artist: Stan Winston) Tim Burton's early classic is everything a Burton film has become known as. It's lighthearted and dark, all at the same time, with visual panache galore. Depp's performance as the elusive and shy Edward is both eery and endearing. The poor guy has scissors for hands. It's the subtle details that are most memorable here, like the small scars that mask his milky skin. Stan Winston was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Makeup. 8. Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice, BEETLEJUICE (1988) (Makeup Artists: Ve Neill, Steve LaPorte, and Robert Short) Similar to Edward Scissorhands that would come a few years later, Beetlejuice was the first introduction into what a spooky, but enjoyable, world Tim Burton could create. With great, 80s special effects galore, Beetlejuice was a great platform for Michael Keaton, as a star, and the Oscar-winning makeup team of Ve Neill, Steve LaPorte, and Robert Short. While Keaton's likeness is still every much part of Beetlejuice's face, the back-from-the-dead subtleties, plus the crazy other special effects makeup throughout the film, makes this a fun and ridiculous ride. 7. Heath Ledger as Joker, THE DARK KNIGHT (2008) (Makeup Artist: John Caglione Jr. and Conor O'Sullivan) Much can be said about Ledger's Oscar-winning performance, especially since the actor passed away before the film even premiered. His Joker is one for the books. The scarred smile and slithering laugh are just the right amount of crazy to fully convince anyone that the Joker was diabolical. The role was crazy and the makeup just right in that his face was messed up just enough to make sense why he would want to mask it with hideous paint to try to cover it up. Makeup artists John Caglione Jr. and Conor O'Sullivan were nominated for the Academy Award. 6. Eddie Murphy as Various Characters, THE NUTTY PROFESSOR (1996) (Makeup Artists: Rick Baker and David LeRoy Anderson) You can argue all you want about the quality of the film itself, but there's no denying that many of Eddie Murphy's movies contain some pretty stellar special effects. Norbit is one of the worst movies ever made, but was nominated for an Oscar for the incredible makeup. The Nutty Professor is significantly better than Norbit, even if it's still just a throwaway 90s comedy. The ability to transform Murphy into countless memorable characters is still pretty incredible. To think that it's nothing more than fat suits and makeup and absolutely no computer graphics is pretty outstanding. Rick Baker and David LeRoy Anderson won the Oscar for their work here. 5. Danny DeVito as Penguin, BATMAN RETURNS (1992) (Makeup Artists: Ve Neill, Ronnie Spector, and Stan Winston) A makeup team made up of Ve Neill and Stan Winston, two previous Tim Burton collaborators, with new guy Ronnie Spector, was just what was needed to pull of some of the best effects of the 90s. While there's not any over-the-top coverups, the makeup team transformed Danny DeVito into the Penguin with a few small, subtle changes that elongated his grossness into the realms of the macabre. It's what sets these makeup artists apart from others. Even the grossest of details seems realistic with the right kind of makeup. The team went on to be Oscar nominated for their work on Batman Returns. 4. Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos, MONSTER (2003) (Makeup Artist: Toni G) This choice could be a little bit of a stretch. Theron, who won the Oscar for Best Actress for her work in Monster, famously gained 30 pounds for the role. In fact, the most significant makeup work here was mostly just freckling and aging. But, as far as transformations go, even the smallest additional detail changes the course of the work. Theron's performance was unbelievably harrowing and the blonde beauty deservedly won the Academy Award. 3. John Leguizamo as Violator, SPAWN (1997) (Makeup Artist: Cindy J. Williams) There are plenty of unrecognizble makeup transformations that take well-known actors and mask them behind prosthetics and makeup galore to present a character. It was tough to narrow down just one here, so I'm letting Cindy J. Williams' coverup of famous character actor John Leguizamo for Spawn represent the others. Here Leguizamo, who always gives 100% for a role, is engrossed in a completely unrecognizable fat suit and blue clown makeup. Even his stature changes as he takes on the role. The movie itself isn't anything to write home about, but it's a clear example of what this type of special effects makeup can do. 2. Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort, HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX (2007) (Makeup Artists: Nick Dudman and Amanda Knight) I have a confession: I've never seen any Harry Potter films. Let the stoning begin! I have every intention to as soon as possible. But, in choosing this list, I had to venture to even places I hadn't been before. I actually had to do some research, too, because I could've sworn that Ralph Fiennes' makeup as Voldemort was probably mostly digital animation. It is not, unbelievably. Makeup artists Nick Dudman and Amanda Knight somehow take Ralph Fiennes nose away, but he remains a remnant of the actor. It allows for a true transformation while staying honest to who is portraying the character. It's a tough task. 1. Jim Carrey as The Grinch, HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS (2000) (Makeup Artist: Rick Baker and Gail Rowell-Ryan) Part of what's magical about movie makeup is how memorable it can be. Jim Carrey's performance as The Grinch is possibly one of his greatest performances ever. His stamina and physical comedic abilities are front and center. But, when every huff and puff, it's the somewhat adorable pout in his green face that makes him equal parts unnerving and endearing. The Ron Howard movie will one day be remembered as one of the best Christmas movies, just as The Grinch will be remembered as one of the greatest comedic characters. The makeup team of Rick Baker (who's already made this list) and Gail Rowell-Ryan won the Oscar for Best Makeup for their Jim Carrey-The Grinch transformation. Scottie started AllTheHitsSoFar shortly after graduating college at the insistence of a close friend. Since earning a degree in Fine Arts from LaGrange College, he's worked in front of and behind the scenes of an array of film/television projects around the Atlanta area. In the winter of 2009, he began a five year stint as a middle/high school English teacher. In 2014 he began working as a producing intern for Between Pixels, assisting in creating concepts, writing scripts, and overseeing film shoots. In his free time he likes to watch movies (surprisingly), eat nachos, treat his dog like a person, and bash Adam Sandler.

I’ve been too many times in Tagaytay but I never had the chance going to Bag of Beans. OK my fault! I know its one of the “must go to” in Tagaytay but I ignored the calling cause …
I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited for a trip as I have for our (Julia, Thomas, Garrett) Alaskan adventure. I’ve never been on a trip like this and I’ve definitely never done anything too outdoorsy so it should be different. I don’t even know what to expect, but from what I’ve heard from...
Vintage Hollywood When I came across this image, I thought I just had to do a blog post on Vintage Hollywood Decor. All of those old movies show such glamourous bedrooms and bathrooms, often with the stars posing in them like this one above. I hope you enjoy this little trip back to “old Hollywood”....

Honestly, I've never been a big American Girl fan. The dolls were too expensive when I was a kid, and I may have read one or two of the books. I don't think I ever had any of the character paper dolls as a child either. It really bothers me that the paper dolls had 'sticky dots' to attach the clothes instead of tabs or even magnetic paper. I've never liked paper dolls that used any sort of glue like method for attaching the clothing. The think I do appreciate about the American Girls line is that they tried to teach history in a way that would interest young girls.

Colorado in the summer is unreal🥹Who do you want to visit here with? I want to move to Colorado after this trip. We had an amazing time exploring the San Juan mountains this past week. Columbine Lake was definitely one of the highlights from this trip.All Trails says it’s a 7.9mile round-trip w 2,837ft of gain, but I logged about 10 miles from my Apple watch. The elevation made this hike more challenging, but it’s absolutely stunning to see this alpine lake at 12,700ft. Right now is the perfect time to visit as all the wild flowers are blooming. The water is freezing cold, but it’s super refreshing to jump in during hot summer days. Would you do it?😉 From @alberthbyang 4. And what a vibe it was 🥲✨ From @jesiroams 5. Can you believe this place is in the US?👇🏻 At 📍McKenzie river, located in Willamette National Forest, Oregon. Around 1 hours drive from Bend and Eugene. 💦 There are multiple waterfalls and pools in the area, most of which are easily accessible and with family friendly hikes. The 2 main waterfalls Koosah and Sahalie Falls can be accessed in the same hike through a 2.6 miles loop or by driving to each of them separately, since they are only 5 minutes driving from each other. In that case you will be able to access the waterfalls directly from the respective parking lots with a short walk. Another spot you cannot miss is the Tamolitch Falls( or Blue Pool) which is a accessible though a 4.5 mile hike, which is a bit longer than the other 2 but it’s still relatively easy..🌋 In some area of the McKenzie River and in particular at the Blue Pool, you will be able to admire some of the most clear and blue waters you will ever seen. The reason is the frigid temperature (37F or ~3C) that kills every microorganism in the water and the porous lava rock that act as a filter as the river flows through it. From @marco.miglionico 6. The stunning Yosemite Fall 😍 From @ciscoo38 8. 🌎it’s easy to feel small standing on top of Vernal Fall in Yosemite National Park. We’ve been hiking up this trail for almost a decade and it’s the biggest we’ve ever seen it! It’s truly magical and leaves you feeling in awe of how majestic the beauty of our world is!This year is a phenomenal year to hike to Vernal Falls. If you make the trip please keep the following in mind:❌ dogs and other pets are not allowed on this trail🗑️don’t leave any trash behind, even “compostable”⚠️stay on trail and don’t climb over the safety railings💦 pack enough water and snacks, this is a moderately strenuous hike🥾wear shoes/boots with good grip: wet trail = slippery trail⛈️ check the weather and trail conditions before your tripBe safe. Be adventurous. Leave no trace 🌱 From @roamingthetrails 9. Lost in the Hoh Rainforest, Olympic National Park, I found peace in the quiet 🍃 From @natyexplora 10. The water is roaring in Yosemite and I’ve never seen the waterfalls so powerful The snowpack is still very substantial in the higher elevations and the melt is going to continue for months! Yosemite is always astonishing, every time, no matter what. Hiking the Mist Trail is just incredible! From @joeshike 11. Carlsbad Caverns National Park… I have never been too interested in caves, but this was one of the most impressive things I have seen in nature. It was 10 times bigger than I expected, with an entry cave system that descends 75 stories underground before reaching the “Big Room”. The park is pretty remote in southern New Mexico, but I would highly recommend a visit if you are ever in the area From @thewildiswaiting 12. Yosemite hasn’t looked like this in over 50 years Due to overwhelming and record breaking snowfall this past winter, Yosemite is completely flooded throughout the valley and the waterfalls are ripping.

Summertime in the Tetons 🏔️ Grand Teton National Park is one of the most beautiful national parks in America and one of the best places to visit in the summer. The amount of sight seeing by car, moderate hiking and hardcore adventuring in one park is unmatched. Not to mention the wildlife and the wildflowers! To catch sunflowers like in this video, make sure to visit in mid-late June. For the best hiking and backpacking opportunities, July and august after the snow melts are your best bet. Please always make sure to follow leave no trace principles when visiting this amazing location! Have you ever been to Grand Teton National Park? From @austinpedersen__ 26.
