At times like this when the economy is in shambles and unemployment is high even though it's getting low, it could be problematic for a diva to not only keep up with her appearance but also the care of her hair, skin, nails, body and health regarding the costs in services of beauty salons, health clubs, gym memberships, and doctor visits. These normal regimines you can do yourself at home. Yes, you! Why? You got hands. You can do them yourself. However, if you're a hand or arm amputee or born with no hands or arms, you can ask someone you know to help you. There's no reason to get lazy on it. The best part about doing them at home yourself is that you can save tons of money. If you don't work how to, you can ask someone you know to teach you how or you can do some research on these routines through books on beauty or online. If you're a busy body who is always on the go, I suggest you make a daily schedule and set aside thirty minutes day to practice one routine. The following is my weekly schedule which is used an example.
Monday facial
Tuesday hair removal
Wednesday hair wash
Thursday pedicure
Friday manicure
You can rearrange your schedule on your routine to the point where you feel more comfortable with your time. You can do it at anytime of day. I suggest that you can do the routines after you come home from work or school. If you're a stay at home mom you can do it when the child is alseep, if you're a homemaker you can doing between chores or after your chores are done, but if you're always traveling, make sure you bring a bottle of shampoo and a bottle of condtioner, manicure set, any hair removal kits like shaving razors or electric razors, a tube of facial scrub, a tube of facial masque, facial toner, facial exfoliant and moisturizer and lotion with you. You can buy any of them at your local dollar stores like Family Dollar or Dollar Tree. It's best if you place them in your carry on bag when you're flying.
As far as exercising is concerned, it's important to get in and keep in shape not just for the sake of your body's appearance, but also for the sake of living longer and conditioning the health of your heart, your lungs, the joints in your body and nervous system. You don't need to get kick your hard earned money in gym monthly memberships and any bulky equipment that takes up so much floor space that you have no room to move around. What you need is plenty of floor space to do aerobics tai chi, dance, in home walking, or kickboxing on, a floor mat, a couple of blocks and a belt or strap for yoga and pilates exercises, a set of weights for strength training, a chair for balancing, and jump rope or small trampoline for jumping, and a step board for step dancing and a few blank vhs tapes or blank DVDs to record your favorite exercise shows. Now you got your own personalized gym. This method is useful in case you can't make it to the gym and fitness center due to bad weather, natural disasters, lack of cash for car fare and car gas, or sickness. Things like this can happen, it's better to be prepared. But if you need help in keeping track of your process, you can make friends with a personal trainer and he or she will give you advice and routines on fitness, health, and diet.
And for your health, invest in taking a multivitamin daily, drink eight cups of spring water eight ounces of each cup (64 ounces total) daily and invest in eating five servings of fruits and vegatables daily. Always visit your doctor for checkups on your health, also do some online research on at home treatments and remedies for any sickness and symptoms such as colds, stomach problems, etc. You can also take a local health class to learn any issues regarding weight loss, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. If you have a long term condition that is life threatening, do research on treatments, diets, and medications to help you overcome your ailments. Be sure to medications only as prescibed daily, keep all your medications update, schedule yout time for oral medications that way you will mot for forget, and PLEASE, under any circumstances, watch your oral or injection intakes on your medication that way you will not overdose by accident.
Remember, you don't need to be rich and famous to be a diva, just being yourself is what a diva is all about. Blessings.

Black Friday Troubles
Ah, yes! Black Friday! A time when all prices are going down at major department stores when you got to get real early in the morning to be one of the first customers at the store when they're open and get the best deals you can find for the holidays. But you know how it is when you get there, too much traffic jams, over filled parking lots, couldn't find and parking spaces, over crowding, very, very long lines to the cashiers, customers fighting for the same product, some loud customers starting trouble, few customers get into fist fights (I see videos like that on youtube.), the items you wanted to buy are already sold out. These are the Black Friday Blues. There are certain things you need to watch out for on Black Friday muggers, con artists, pickpockets and shady people. Here are some tips to avoid being ripped off while holiday shopping.
1. Keep your credit cards, cash and checks on the inside coat pockets or fanny packs (just don't wear fanny packs outside your coat. Use purses or backpacks for personal stuff only like tissue, over the counter medicine like aspirin, sinus and allergy pills, medicine prescriptions, small pack of tissues, etc.
2. Carry a calculator with you and price each item.
3. Know your current state tax status
4. Don't accept any better deals from shady strangers on the streets.
5. Keep all your store flyers with you just in case cashiers try to overcharge you. Make sure these flyers are current.
6. If you've been overcharged by cashiers who refuse to change the price to sales price they advertised, no need to catch an attitude, just get down the cashier's name and write a letter of complaint the store management the next day.
7. It's better to shop in groups, in case you need witness.
8. If a store clerk serves you deals are that is no within store policy or sounds too phony, don't take them. If it's too good to be true, guess what? It is.
These tips can hep you keep track of how much you spend and avoid stress and headaches about prices when shopping for the holidays. Have fun and stay safe.
Remember, you don't have to be rich and famous to be a diva, being yourself is what a diva is all about. Blessings!

Which diva are you or inspire to become? That's clearly up to you. It's your own choice and yours alone. Choose any title that you can relate to or want to master and choose wisely. Once you pick your title, take it to your heart, mind and soul. Embrace it, honor it, own it. Work with it, learn whatever it takes to earn that title by taking classes, volunteering, doing research, enhancing your talents and skills, etc. You are your own diva in your own right.
Remember, you don't have to be rich and famous to be a diva, being yourself is what a diva is all about.
Blessings!

Seven principles a diva lives by
In order to claim your own divaship, you have to learn and apply the principles of a diva for yourself. There are seven that are important and easy to use.
1. Trendy
2. Poise
3. Attitude
4. Wisdom
5. Compassion
6. Charitable
7. Appearance
1. Trendy: Attend local fashion shows or make one up. Invest in purchasing fabrics patterns trimmings and crafts to create your own clothes and accessories. You can have some of your friends who are talented in fashion design or sewing to help do the work with you. Spend time in craft stores to create your own jewelry and accessories. Take classes on design in fashion, cosmetics and hair dressing. Purchase many drawing and sketch books or download programs to create your own style of clothing. Subscribe to fashion hairstyle and beauty magazines or websites. Use virtual makeovers to create new looks that match your style. Make friends with with local or aspiring fashion designers, makeup artists, hairstylists, tailors, and photographers (students who study these fields are more affordable).
2. Poise: Have some good posture while walking, sitting or standing (chests pushing forward, shoulders rolled back, tummy tucked in). Keep your head up high, facing forward. Sit with your knees together or ankles crossed ( absolutely, no legs crossed at your thighs if you're wearing a knee length skirt or dress). Smile with respect to every person you greet.
3. Attitude: Love and respect yourself as you are. Have some self confidence and self esteem. Walk proud. Think only positive thoughts and express only positive feelings. Never act snobbish and stuck up. Try reading some spiritual affirmations to inspire some self esteem. Take some lessons on etiquette.
4. Wisdom: You must take education seriously because knowledge and wisdom are power. If you're in school, put studies and homework before anything else. Never cheat on your tests and exams. Get a good mentor to help you stay on the right path. Get a tutor for extra help if you're struggling in school. Attending school on time that shows that shows that you're serious about your education. Study hard to pass all of your exams. Keep your grades high. Take all you have learned to heart to become successful in the long run.
5. Compassion: Respect everyone the way you respect yourself. Talk and be nice to people no matter how different they are from you. Don't lose your temper when someone makes a mistake on you. Never bully or push people around, blackmail them to get your way like mean girls do. Say only kind and positive words to people at all times. Make good compliments on what they do and accomplished and not on just what they wear. Proper language is important, negative language with profanity is not allowed regardless of where you come from and under all circumstances, avoid gossip.
