Free
Business Cards
We learned about a great deal
from Discount Diva, Marie
Baker … free business
cards! We are very grateful
to Marie for this great tip.
For free business cards, go
to: www.Vistaprint.com
This site offers 250 free
business cards and you can
choose from 30 beautiful
multi-color designs. All
you pay for is shipping.
This well-established dot
com company offers optional
upgrades, for additional
fees, but you do not have
to accept them. The basic
freebies offered are wonderful
by themselves.
So why limit yourself to
one or two color business
cards? Plus you don't have
to deal with the hassle
of a print shop and the
associated costs when you
can get professionally printed,
premium quality (on thick
100 lb. card stock) full-color
business cards free without
ever leaving home?
Since similar cards can
cost as much as $179.00,
this gift offer is simply
one of the most valuable
found anywhere, on or off
the Web.

a “Diva Do” for

Diva Missy here...I discovered
this tip when I was in college,
and I still recommend it today.
Go to a Beauty Academy for
a haircut, perm, or color.
These cosmetology schools
can be found in most major
cities, and offer great prices
to the general public.
For an example, the one closest
to me offers a shampoo, conditioner
and haircut for $5.00, color
or highlighting for $25.00
($40 for foils) and $27.00
for a perm and style. This
beauty academy also offers
European facials for $20,and
brow or lip waxing for $4.
And don’t worry; since
this is normally the final
step before they graduate,
these students have had plenty
of practice before practicing
on you!
Look in your yellow pages
for schools near you or try
this web site: www.beautyschool.com
(once you pick your state,
scroll to the bottom of the
page where the schools are
listed.)
Free
Special Occasion Reminders
Service
For those of you Divas and
Dudes who have a hard time
remembering birthdays, we
have a solution! There is

The service allows you
to store names and dates
of your friends, family,
co-workers, etc, in a database.
Then you will be sent a
reminder seven and three
days before each birthday.
Never forget a birthday
again. Check out www.birthdayalarm.com.
Speaking of birthdays…there
is another free service

Minty
Fresh
DivaPam here...looking for
an inexpensive fresh flower
arrangement and room freshener
in one? Try my money saving
idea. You don’t need
to knock over a mint to afford
this DivaDelight.
I brew iced tea very often
for my family. To avoid
buying expensive mint in
the grocery store every
time I need it, I place
sprigs of mint (stems whole)
in water, keep it in a vase
in my kitchen and use fresh
leaves as needed.
One day I went out of town
to visit DivaMissy and realized
upon my return that the
mint had grown roots and
looked as fresh as the day
I picked it some 3 weeks
earlier!
I also couldn't help but
notice that the room was
filled with a delightful
minty fragrance. I now use
mint as room fresheners
and as greenery in flower
arrangements.
Mint plants can be purchased
for a buck or 2 and multiply
like weeds in the garden.
It can be placed alone in
vases or paired with flowers
for a creative flower arrangement.
If you really want to save
money, pair it with long
living flowers like daises,
carnations or purple (dark
blue) or yellow statice
and change the water daily.
Your flower arrangement
will look great and your
room will smell fresh…and
all for a few bucks!

“Divalicious”
for Less
Divas and Dudes...here's
a great Web site next time
you want to try a new scent:
www.scentiments.com
You get unbelievable prices
on your favorite perfumes,
colognes, body lotions and
powders. The catch is that
they are samples so they
do not come in a fancy box...and
some do not have the fancy
top...but who cares? Diva
Missy just bought her favorite
perfume “Samsara”
for under $30!! (Normally
a bottle of this perfume
sells for $82) Check it
out. You will never pay
retail again!
