Diva Detox

Is your all that attitude too over the top?

Check out this 12-step guide for deprogramming the prima donna in you.

1. Fly coach. Nothing takes you down a few pegs quite like stale peanuts and zero leg room.

2. Visit Target at least once a week. And don't refer to it as Tarjay.

3. Eat a meal that costs less than $3. Alternative: Try Spam.

4. Shop at a bargain-basement store. Try on last year's fashions in a communal dressing room.

5. Take public transportation. I don't mean taxis. You must be squeezed in close enough to tell if the person next to you showered today.

6. Introducethe word we into your vocabulary and stop calling others "those people."

7. Use a coupon. The Estee Lauder 2-for-1 certificate doesn't count.

8. Wear underwear that's not 100 percent anything on your next date.

9. Date a guy whose only affiliation with a country club is his job parking cars there.

10. Skip your next manicure. Yes, I promise, you will survive the plague of the week-old cuticles.

11. Give your cleaning lady some time off. Remember that dishes aren't self-cleaning and garbage men won't enter your home to remove your trash.

12. Volunteer at a shelter; you'll see there really are people who survive without a Prada bag.

PRADA, not PRADO. Prada is a very expensive line of handbags and shoes.

I never understand why people will spend more than $30 on shoes (I don't even like to spend that much but shoes are kind of expensive now a days). I've had the same pair of shoes for the last three years as my feet have stopped growing. There starting to get a bit worn out but I'm going to fix them with glue. I also have one pair of loafers for dressy occasions. I can't see why anybody would need more than two pairs of shoes and maybe a pair of wet weather boots, but then again its probably just one of those things that is beyond my comprehension, like personal grooming.
