Weekend Project: No Bake Nutella Cheesecakes
Here at The Frisky we’re pretty sure “No Bake Nutella Cheesecake” is the most beautiful string of words the English language could ever produce, but if you need any more convincing about the glory of this recipe, here are a couple other phrases that might tempt you: “Oreo cookie crust” and “15 minute prep time.” Oh lord, I’m feeling faint. Somebody hand me a spoon! [My Baking Addiction]
What’s Your Favorite Song Right Now?
My boyfriend and I have been listening to Gotye’s song “Somebody That I Used To Know” on repeat for the past week, and so has everyone else, judging by my friends’ Spotify playlists and the video’s skyrocketing view count (about 50 million of those hits are from me, but still). It’s a great song, and totally worthy of a little obsessiveness, but my god, I need to diversify my musical choices before auditory exhaustion sets in. So can we talk about music for a minute? What song(s) are you obsessing over? Any new artists you’re excited about? Help me out of my Gotye rut! [Weirdly enough, Winona wrote this post without knowing that Julie had also just discovered Gotye and written up his album as a Crave. They are on the same music cycle! -- Editor]

The Frisky’s Drugstore Beauty Picks
As I’ve mentioned before, I spend approximately 80 percent of my time and income at the Walgreens down the street from my house. I love wandering the aisles of cosmetics, checking out new products, and buying more sparkly eyeshadows and pink lipsticks even though I already own, you know, all of them. I thought it would be fun to ask all the Frisky staffers for their favorite drugstore beauty products, from hair to makeup to skincare. Here they are–all available at your local drugstore, and most cost less than 10 bucks. Check out our picks, then share your own in the comments section. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to Walgreens to stock up…
Style Inspiration: Sherlock Holmes
Have you guys been watching “Sherlock,” the modern-day Sherlock Holmes series on the BBC? I just started watching last week and it is, like, shockingly awesome. (Sherlockingly awesome? No. Sorry. Nevermind.) The popularity of this show combined with the recent RDJ/Jude Law movie means general Sherlock hysteria has taken over the world, and I am INTO IT. Aesthetically, Sherlock Holmes is a little Steampunk, a little academic, and totally perfect for some winter style inspiration. Click through for shopping details…

“What’s Your Nude?” Campaigns For More Brown Bras
If you head to the store looking for a nude bra, you’ll see shades of cream, tan, and light pink: in other words, the “nude” options are tailored predominantly to Caucasian skin tones. Tara Raines thinks it’s about time bra makers embraced a more diverse definition of nude, which is why she started the “What’s Your Nude?” campaign, and chose February 1st (the first day of African American History Month) as the official day of action. Want to support the cause? Contact your favorite bra maker and ask for more brown bras. Log on to Facebook and like the “What’s Your Nude” page (facebook.com/morebrownbras). And most importantly, spread the word! As Raines told Women’s Wear Daily: “Women of color deserve to look and feel sexy, and a big part of that is looking like ourselves.” [Madame Noire]
