Book Description

April 1, 2003
I am diva, hear me roar! A celebration of womanhood, I AM DIVA! is written by four women in different stages along the path to Divadom. Highly interactive, the book is structured as a year-long journey with weekly lessons, each beginning with an inspirational quote, and leads readers along the diva trail with playful, motivational, and educational essays. Chock full of trivia, 'Frivolous Diva Dos', and charming line drawings, I AM DIVA! will help women to acknowledge where they get stuck or feel trapped in their lives, and teaches them to get in touch with their inner star as they learn to live life by their own rules - as a diva!

2.0 out of 5 stars Cute but patronizing, August 4, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: I Am Diva! Every Woman's Guide to Outrageous Living (Paperback)
Many women might find that this book provides a quick and fun pick-me-up. Personally, I am really tired of being told that a bubble bath and rhinestone tiara will make my life better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks for putting the spice back in my life!, April 10, 2003
This review is from: I Am Diva! Every Woman's Guide to Outrageous Living (Paperback)
This is a great book for getting back on track with your own life after having kids - or really after any "distraction" in life, like too much work, or simply taking yourself too seriously. It's fun and usable and you won't ever outgrow the advice. It's a book you could pick up and read again in 5 years for a refresher. Did I mention it's fun? Get one for a friend who needs a little "boost." Go divas! And oh ya, I AM DIVA!!!
