Mostly Martha - The Genuine Article

I am a huge lover of quality movies, with a special interest in foodie movies. Sadly, very few of the mainstream movies produced in the US attract my interest, let alone hold it, which is why my collection of foreign films is ever expanding. While I will not bash the US movie industry, I will [...]

Foodie or Gourmet?

Until recently, I had never given thought to this question. During several food-related conversations with various friends and coworkers over the past couple of years, on more than one occasion it has been suggested that I may have “missed my calling” so to speak. The consensus among many of them is that perhaps I should have been a chef or food critic or some other food-related professional. Their comments are not meant to imply that I am not good at my work, as I have been feeding myself from the accounting [...]

Fabulous Packaging

Another packaging design that I found so engaging that it influenced me to make a 24-pack purchase was this one by Fuze promoting its Slenderize line.

More often than not, they reflect (to varying degrees) the individual personality and style of the owner, with some exceptions of course. [...]


Welcome to diva:flava.style!

    Low carb recipes are the primary emphasis of this site. Deliciously healthy recipes made from fresh whole foods (organic is best), clean carbs, lean protein and good fats. Low glycemic index cooking that helps slim the waistline, tease the senses and delight the palate. Alas, I am an imperfect being who happens to stray on occasion, so I will post the odd "splurge" recipe from time to time.

    diva:flava.style is also my creative outlet for sharing my experiences of healthy living, beauty, fitness and all things delicious.
