Your face can not be fabulous if your feet hurt.
Remember being in the club and had a painful corn?
Do you remember being at the babyshower and your shoes pinched?
Being adventerous on a nature hike and had gotten a blister on your heeel sportin some new ” kicks ” ?
Let’s face it if your face is not looking fabulous your conversation can not be fabulous, your personality can not be fabulous, if your feet hurt!
Even the most minor foot discomfort can add years and erase diva-ness charm.
There is nothing complicated about proper care of feet we love our pedicures so that’s a no brainer but also take the time to get properly fitted for a shoe by an expert.
If your feet are not normal go get checked out by a doctor.
The shoes we use for walking and everyday do not have to be orthopedic black boot shoes!
There are a few simple tricks that will allow you to stroll with foot confidence and be Fly all at the same time!
1. Lower heels – it still gives you a lift without all the pressure of our weight and promotes good posture and height.
2. Flats – be careful with this one if you are short roll with the kitty pump flats will pull you to the ground! Flats are a great solution for tall divas!
3. Wide heels – the larger your frame you may want to consider a heel with a larger width such as a wedge. This not only is good support , it is also more flattering and slimming effect to a larger frame – Skinny heels are not a good look for a plus sized Diva as they make her appear unbalanced and adds more width to her waistline.
Your diva walk should be distinguished. You don’t want people to notice your posture good or bad. You want them to see YOU!
So put your best foot forward and invest in a good shoe!

Hello Beauties!
So what is high blood pressure and how do you know if you even have it?
Blood pressure is the force of your blood against the walls of your blood vessels.
Blood pressure is measure in millimeters of mercury so you often see it written as mmHg.
There are two different numbers that you want to look at:
Systolic Pressure ( Top Number )
Diastolic Pressure ( Bottom Number )
A healthy blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg. ( for diabetics goal is less than 130/80 mm Hg )
High Blood Pressure also known as hypertension is sometimes known as the
” silent killer ” because sometimes a diva just does not know when her blood pressure is high she is too busy being fabulous!
You may feel Fabulous dear diva but if your blood pressure is high you may be at risk for a heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, vision problems etc.
So make sure you get checked out by your doctor today and make sure your vessels are in check!
I don’t want to have to buy any flowers!

Hello Beauties!
Do you sometimes find yourself infront of the TV set or computer hand to mouth?
Chips, Pizza, popcorn and an ice cold pop to go with a great movie?
When trying to lose-weight getting our behaviors under control will be essential to our success.
Sometimes when divas use ” magic pills ” surgerys, and work out to death, in many cases fail to address the underline problem which is our behavior.
Honestly, we can lose a hundred pounds and if we do not change our behaviors we can easily gain ever pound back if not more.
So what’s the solution?
Here are the top 3 Ways to get yourself active and get our mind out of the Doritos!
1. Get Active – This one is a no-brainer Just get some more exercise into your daily routine. Not a gym rat? Well go for a walk maybe sign up for a sexy salsa dance class or take on a new hobby like hiking or sign up for a marathon!
Physical exercise helps reduce stress and keeps you feeling balanced so that you will be less prone to emotional over-eating.
2. Relax and Pamper yourself – This one is great for us divas because we love to take care of ourselves. Take an extra long bubble bath, maybe treat yourself to a spa day for a pedi and mani, maybe you want to go full throttle and get a full body massage!
3 Be productive and responsible! – Find something that you have been wanting to do but keep putting it off like maybe a hobby , a big house cleaning project like cleaning out the garage, going through clothes to donate etc.
If you start to change the external things in your life, it will be easier to change the internal 🙂

Hello Beauties!
Sad but true, not all carbs are created equal, been trying to fight it for years.
When we eat carbs our body sends the message to produce insulin to break down the food and convert it into glucose ( sugar )
When we eats foods that are typically high in fat it triggers our body to produce mass amounts of insulin and can cause our blood sugar to go up.
Once it stabilizes the blood sugar comes down usually as quickly as it went up we are hungry again craving carbs and the vicious cycle starts all over again!
In the long run we end up eating more storing more fat and gaining weight.
Over time this abuse can lead to heart disease and type 2 diabetes as well as other degenerative diseases.
This is why some people may have diabetes for years and it goes unnoticed because the body will keep producing insulin until it can no longer and then full-blown diabetes sets in typically later in life or mid life.
The glycemic Index is designed to help us make healthier food choices easier and convenient so you can look at these numbers at a glance and know which ones are good for you and which ones to stay away from.
The glycemic index or GI describe the difference by ranking carbs according to their effect on our blood glucose levels.
Choosing Low GI carbs these carbs produce low fluctuations in our blood sugar and insulin levels. It is the secret to long-term health and reducing risk of heart disease and diabetes it is also the key to maintain and sustain weight loss.
Low GI carbs also help you feel fuller longer and can reduce hunger so that a diva does not overeat and avoid temptation from the fridge.
It can also pro-long physical endurance.
