Today marks the online debut of my SisterDivas Magazine column,
What accessory more visibly demonstrates how we treat others — and ourselves — than our own hands? For this inaugural column, A Show of Hands, I suggest products and services to help transform overworked, neglected hands from ragged to regal. You’ll find a treasure-trove of advice and recommendations from beauty experts, dermatologists, and several of my Live Journal friends,* plus links to a wealth of related websites and blogs.
Try a handful or all of the tips I’ve included, then settle on the ones that fit your lifestyle and budget. But if you believe, as I do, that our inner beauty is reflected in the ways we interact with our world, perhaps you’ll agree that Tip #11 is the most valuable suggestion of all.
While you’re browsing SisterDivas magazine, be sure you find your way to The Write Path, a column by Amanda Hubbard (aka LiveJournal user Mandywriter).

Great Column, Melodye! Mine’s up and running too. :-). Love seeing the “ALL THAT GLITTERS” ‘logo’ up there…very cute.
Could you send the link in this column thread? I’ll post it up top if you do. I planned to do that, but I couldn’t find your actual column…only the reference page:http://www.sisterdivasmagazine.com/job.html
Ya just gotta click on the logo/picture thingy.

Great debut column. I especially enjoy your #11. There’s a lot to be said for doing something for others.
Thanks, Jonathan…and about #11, I agree wholeheartedly!
Congrats! What a fun column!!!
Thanks. When you come out here to visit, we’ll pamper ourselves with a professional manicure, ok?
Congrats! I’ll have to take a peek.
I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
Oh, and notice that I gave you a nod and a thanks in the acknowledgments… 🙂
Thanks Melodye! Your column was very insightful and fun. I really like the look of the on-line magazine. What other ideas are you looking for?
Anything that fits the column description and seems interesting, which allows for a wide range of potential topics, I think.
VERY cool, woman! And I loved the SI article. So awesome to know someone famous and making it! So happy for you!
Well…not famous, but perhaps infamous in some circles, lol. I appreciate your encouragement, though. 🙂
Almost forgot to remind you to look in the acknowledgments; your name is there, alongside my thanks!
Great job! You go Sister Diva!
Thanks, my Diva friend. 🙂
Don’t forget to take a peek at the acknowledgments here and after the online article. I appreciated your suggestions, and I gave you credit with my other LJ friends who sent me their ideas/recommendations. 🙂
I see that! Thank you, you are so sweet.
This is wonderful, Melodye ~ I’ve bookmarked the online magazine and I like your emphasis on the balance of taking care of yourself and the world. 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. And as for that balancing act, it’s part of my personal philosophy. 🙂
Almost forgot to ask…Did you notice here and in the column itself that I gave you an acknowledgment and linked to your site? Again…thanks!
I did! I was scanning for the Lancome polish! I’m wearing it right now….and thanks for the credit and link to my page!
Yay, Melodye! Great article, sistah.
Oh, thanks so much, my diva friend. I appreciate that and you!
I love it! You did a fantastic job. I can’t wait to read more of your columns.
Thank you so much. I was really nervous writing it, as the topic selection was open-ended. I appreciate getting feedback; and if you have ideas for future columns, please let me know… 🙂
Heh, I haven’t heard that word for awhile. 😉
That is SO COOL!!!
Love the site and the idea –
I even subscribed!
Excellent — now you’re an official Sister Diva!
And thanks again for contributing to my column… Did you notice that I’ve mentioned and linked to you in the acknowledgments on the bottom of this post and also at the end of my column? 🙂
Congrats! I love the article and the magazine. Number 11 was my favorite on your list.
I love watching your star rise!
Thanks! #11 is my favorite, too…it speaks to my philosophy of life.
I love being a part of your universe… 🙂
Thanks for the acknowledgement. Great article. Enjoyed it. Keep up the great work.
Congratulations on your great inaugural column!
I like the cool glittery graphics in your post too :0)
Thank you so much!
Hey, how’s that magical idea you came up with working out for you? Are you still inspired? I have been sending you good thoughts…
Thanks for the good thoughts! They must be working, because I’m still inspired. I won’t be done for a while, but I’m still making progress.

Sorry I missed it until now — congratulations!
Why, thank you! 🙂 And if you’ve got ideas for the next column (the possibilities are endless), please pass ’em along. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
