Diva Days live

The site for the alternative diva - a diva in jeans, not stilettos.

Some people are like Slinkies: not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

My blog is a mix of promo, info and general fun. I don't want them to be just a billboard because who would come back to read them?

This is the site for the alternative diva. We live in our jeans but we can be glam when we want to. We love to work but we also love to play.

Life Insurance

Life insurance is an essential investment for all responsible adults. With an adequate life insurance policy, individuals can rest assured that heir family will be taken care of, their assests will be managed in a responsible matter, and one's estate will be taken care of.
For those considering life insurance in Australia, the internet is an invaluable resource. It enables consumers to compare life insurance and determine which is the best to suit their needs and provide their spouse with adequate coverage. It is easy to compare life insurance on the internet without evefry having to leave the house. Several factors may be taken into consideration when purchasing life insurance Australia. An individual's gender, age, health status, and if that person has ever smoked may effect the price of life insurance policy.

Burial costs which are quite considerable will be covered. Debts can be paid and a family can be cared for as a result of an adequate insurance policy. Breathe easy today, compare life insurance policies, and provide family with enough insurance coverage today.

Top 5 Image Boosters (for those difficult mornings)

2007-06-24T23:19:00.000-07:00

Some days it is an effort just to get out of bed. How hard is it to find something to wear and make yourself look presentable on that sort of morning?

Here are my Top 5 Image Boosters for really hard mornings.

1. Decent Underwear.
There are two reasons for this. Firstly, nothing makes you feel better like wearing your gorgeous lingerie. It almost sends subliminal messages of confidence to the brain. On a day when you need a boost, lingerie can give it to you.

Secondly, well fitting lingerie, especially your bra, can take years off your appearance. Nothing makes you look older or more rounded than a chest that sits on your belly. It is definitely worth being professionally fitted for a good bra.

2. Bronzer.
My skin is naturally pale but some days it can look washed out. A light dusting of bronzer is enough to give me some instant health. If your skin is fair keep the bronzer light in colour. You don't need a lot to make a difference, but you can dust it across your face and neckline to add colour. If you are scared of the thought of a bronzer at least use a little blush on your cheeks.

3. Lipstick.
I have to admit that lipstick is a lifesaver. It adds colour to your look and gives a finished look to your appearance.

4. Favourite Outfit.
When the morning is this hard, you will feel best in your favourite outfit. Sometimes a new outfit can energise you, but it can also be a bit of hard work sorting accessories to match. Stick with the familiar. It has proven itself, you look good in it and you know exactly what to team it with.

5. Jewellery.
Jewellery has many uses other than decorative. It finishes your look. Careful placement can attract the eye to your best features. On a bad day, it can distract the eye from your tired features too. Don't go overboard with it, but select a piece with definite style and impact.

6. Perfume.
OK, I cheated. I just can't go anywhere without perfume...... A quick dab boosts me straight away. In fact, if I can find a perfume to suit my pj's I might skip the first 5 steps altogether!

Now get up and get going!
