ALOHA SILKY SKIN

Alba's Kukui Nut Organic Body Oil is a silky scent-sation. Infused with Kukui Nut oil from the island of Hawaii, this spa treat is one of the best on the market. It's rich in essential fatty acids that help to restore, condition and hydrate the skin.

This is by far one of my favorites. It smells delicious but more importantly your skin really does feel like silk after you use it.

Bring a Hawaiian spa to your bathroom. Tap into your inner Diva. Can be used as a moisturizer, massage or bath oil.

IT'S ALL TRUE DIVA'S

This is a wonderful home fragrance collection created by the beautiful humanitarian Manuela Nelson, ex-wife of Prince. The name of her collection ALTRU means unselfishly giving of one's self to others. I must say Manuela is an All True Diva.

She created this collection to support her In a Perfect World Foundation. The foundation empowers children from around the world to become compassionate, socially conscious and responsible leaders. Each candle is named after a core value or attribute that one might find in a "perfect world." How can you not love this Diva?!?!!

I personally love the Wellness Candle which is an embracing scent of cloves and green tea. It burns true to it's fragrance and it inspires the senses. I would like to wish Manuela the best in all of her humanitarian efforts. See you at the next event!

Buy these wonderful candles for $55 each at nordstrom.com, bergdoff.com and gamillah.com.

DIVA ESSENTIAL

DIVA ALERT, DIVA ALERT....SHAPE UP IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES WITHOUT BREAKING A SWEAT.

As seen on Queen-Diva Oprah, the Yummie Tummie is the hottest thing in lingerie since Eve picked up a fig leaf.

You ask well, what is it?! It's a body-contouring shaper designed to be seen while secretly slimming your waist, a beautiful tank and body shaper all in one. No more "muffin tops or stomach rolls." All I can say is THANK goodness!

Diva's you can exhale while taking those summer photo's. With this God-send garment, you will always be picture ready. Go ahead, have that ice-cream...in moderation of course. I could've kept that moderation part out huh? :)

EXTREME GLADIATOR!

A shoe can change a womans life. Just ask Cinderella.

Ms. Carrie Bradshaw is rocking her Extreme Gladiator Platform Shoes by Dior! Worn in over 5% of the entire movie, such a fashion introduction is very uncommon. It's extremely rare to see the same shoe paired with different outfits but, Mizz Bradshaw has done it in a way that only a TRUE DIVA can. Every outfit is fashion forward and fab!

I have to admit this is a hell of a sexy shoe. Dior you better work! Fashionista's I've got news for you..... you better work too because these beauties are $770. Ummm yes, $770. The price of beauty never ceases to amaze me. Boy, I really like these.....

They can be yours at eluxury.com. They're sure to go fast! By the way, I don't advocate knock-offs but many of you emailed me asking if I knew where to find a pair. You can find a very similar shoe at asos.com for £55.00. Get'em while the gettings good!

IT'S A GROOVE THANG!

Carol's Daughter Groove Shea Soufflé is divalicious.

I'm smitten with soft skin, but what Diva isn't?! This luxurious formula is light and fluffy and smells divine. It's a great moisturizer for all skin types leaving your skin feeling like a pallet of silk.

Diva Lisa Price insured that we would get all the moisture we needed packing in a whopping 47% of butters and oils. But, not to fret fellow Diva's it's not a greasy mess. When I used it, it left my skin smooth and hydrated without an oily residue. Oh yes, this is a keeper!

For all of us natural fashionistas, this moisturizer is a good accessory not only because of it's brand star power but also because it's free of parabens, mineral oil, petroleum, and artificial color!

100% PURE DIVA!

Having reviewed hundreds of body care products, I am a self-proclaimed natural body care buff. On my journey to soft healthy skin, I came across this decadent scrub made with fresh fruit juices and organic sugar. This scrub is amazing! It smells like a fresh fruit smoothie and is preservative and chemical free. It's well, 100 percent pure.

If you can't live without soft, smooth, hydrated skin then this is a scrub to definitely try. Strawberry Lemonade Juicy Body Scrub buffs away dull, bumpy skin with the powers of fresh fruits- lemon, strawberry, cranberry, cherry, raspberry and pineapple. These fruits are high in anti-aging antioxidants, vitamins and brightening fruit acids for healthy, vibrant, glowing skin. This is truly one for every Diva!

GUCCI GIRLS RULE THE WORLD

Oh Gucci you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind....hey Gucci.

All of a sudden everything looks much clearer from the lenses of these DIVALICIOUS Gucci sunglasses. No matter what you're looking at you're gonna like what you see when you step out and about with this summer's hottest shades.

Seen on Rhianna and Fergie, these shades are fashion ready with medium square lenses with the GG pattern embossed on the arm of the shades. 100% UVA/UVB protection.

For some this may be a splurge at $310 but let's face it, it's expensive being a diva! You'll turn the heads of even the faint at heart. Go Diva's, Go Diva's. Break the piggy banks...it's worth it.

Purchase a pair in brown or black at your nearest Gucci Boutique or high-end sun glass store.
