I remember swapping my clothing with my sisters (and now my nieces) growing up. It was always lots of fun, especially swapping accessories, handbags, jewelry and hats. So when I learned about the Diva Exchange, 'I thought, What a bright idea.'

Here is the link to Marian Bell's e-mail. She has all the answers:)

divaexchange@gmail.com or marian@marianbell.com

You can also join the Diva Exchange group on Facebook. Here is that link:

Marian Bell donates to many non-profit organizations but here is the link to the one we visited for this story:

West Houston Assistance Ministries Marketing Director, Larry Leonard tells me that they welcome volunteers, donations and donated items. Please contact them for information.

Hi, bloggers:)

It's hard to get anything free these days; but I did find a self defense company that offers free self defense seminars every month. Just click here: FREE WEEK OF SELF-DEFENSE CLASSES
You can also call: (713) 491-4363
AND REMEMBER TELL THEM YOU WATCHED IT ON 11 NEWS THIS MORNING OR ON WWW.KHOU.COM

A Bureau of Justice Statistics study shows that a woman who learns self-defense can reduce the risk of rape by 80%. Here is the full study: Bureau of Justice Statistics Study
