AHHHH... sometimes it pays to be manipulated by others.

Introducing the minimal money massage!

I've found a way to get a 60 minute remedial massage for just $20. Try and negotiate that price with your local day spa! Students from the Q Academy here on the Gold Coast are hungry for bodies so they can practise their newly acquired craft. You can be the recipient of a massage administered by a student whose fingertips are fresh and ready to go.

Of course, I had to put myself on the table and be the guinea pig just to ensure that this deal was legit and worth the $20. It was hard work but someone had to be dealt the 60 minutes of bliss from Q Academy super-therapist Lauren.

Watch me at work... such a stressful position I have! And oh…for those of... Read More »

When you think of donating to charity, do you instantly think 'cash donation'?

Do you hang up or hide when one of the many charities rings you or knocks on your door? It's sad...even embarrassing. You have to say no. You really want to help but you don't have the dollars to do it.

Easy. Although some of the questions are a tiny bit challenging for this Best Deals Diva!

Even when your cash flow is low, it's nice to know you can still give ... Read More »
