1) A Nook - This awesome e-Reader tablet is being sold at Barnes & Noble and on Amazon.com for just $99.00! I would suggest purchasing it along with....
2) "Keeping it Curvy. Confident. Chic." - This awesome e-Book, written by Plus-Size Blogger Marie Denee of The Curvy Fashionista, is a very necessary read for every curvy diva who has ever experienced the frustration of not being able to find the right clothes for her body type!
3) Clothes, clothes clothes:-)! - Every curvy divas in your life will agree that they can never have too many clothes! Right now, there are some EXCELLENT deals online! Here are a few of my favorites:

4) Scents - What diva doesn't like to smell absolutely divine? Head to Bath & Body works and try out my favorite scent "Japanese Cherry Blossom". If you're more of a "perfume" person, go for Miss Dior Cherie by Dior. I recently received a sample of this in my door prize at CeCe & Melinda's Shop IN Chicago event at the Drake and this perfume is AWESOME! It's...well, let's just say it's an aphrodisiac and leave it at that:-).
