Embrace Your Inner Diva with Muse Jemima

Name: Jemima, Jewelry Designer

Bio: Jemima: I am a British jeweller heavily influenced by Victorian mourning jewellery, Tord Boontje, the paper cuts of Rob Ryan and Hans Christian Andersen, and the nature in my tiny back garden in Bristol. Some of my more playful imagery draws on the almost twenty years of experience as an art director in children's publishing, which I gave up three years ago to follow my dream. I didn't know what the dream was then, but I think I found it!

Embrace Your Inner Diva

"I believe that it's better to be looked over than it is to be overlooked."
--Mae West

To be a diva is to be a woman confident in her own skin. A woman willing to take on the world without fear, just as adeptly as a leopard chasing its prey.

A diva always stands up for herself and lets her voice be heard. She strives in every aspect of her life and consistently hones each and every talent.

A diva knows how to have fun and lives each day to the fullest. And nothing gets in her way whether it is a lack of resources or personal strife.

A diva always knows how to get what she wants and does so effortlessly.

There is a diva living inside us all, but most of us have to delve deep within ourselves to rouse her. Once she is awakened, life will never be the same again! Awake your inner diva from out of her slumber and start living each day to the fullest!

Love yourself TODAY - So what if you are overweight, suffering from a skin problem or something else that makes you feel less than beautiful? Embrace all of your flaws and accept them as part of your very being. You can always tweak your flaws to make them better. Focus on the things that you like about yourself, such as those gorgeous green eyes or a flawless complexion, and everything else will fall into place.

Build Up Others - Most women have a flaw that eats away at their core. Rather than highlighting another woman's flaws, build her up by praising her attributes and paying her compliments. Make building others up a habit as you move throughout your day. You will find that the sentiment is often reciprocated, which will go a long way in reinforcing your own self-esteem. A true diva does not capitalize on other's misery, in fact she sees other women as her sisters in life rather than the competition.

Don't Supply the Ammo - You know your weaknesses, flaws and other shortcomings. There is absolutely no reason to publicize them to the rest of the world. Don't ever give someone else the 'ammo' to belittle or humiliate you. Keep your flaws to yourself and embrace them in the full knowledge that they are not set in stone. You can and will change them, but only if you deem necessary.

You've Got the Look - Now that your inner diva is awakened, you've got to dress her to the nines! A diva always looks her best even if she is only wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Her clothes are always impeccably clean, pressed and never tattered. Her hair is kempt and she always has a bit of bling on even if she is only going to the grocery store. A real diva uses make-up sparingly while highlighting her natural beauty through exceptional cleanliness and impeccable hygiene.
Life is too short to waste a moment of it wallowing in self-doubt and negativity. Allow your inner diva to shine and your confidence will soar to even greater heights!
