Recently while cleaning out my desk I came across an article with Audrey Hepburn's list of beauty tips. Ms. Hepburn, an internationally acclaimed beauty, was allegedly a carrier for the Belgian Underground Anti-Nazi Movement in WW II as a teen. She learned the importance of a good heart as well as good character early.

Here is her list:


1. For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

2 For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

3. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

4. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

5. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

6. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anybody. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands--one for helping yourself, the other for helping others (by the way, Kirk Douglas in a recent article said that helping others keeps the elderly from becoming depressed).

7. The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows. And the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.


Thank you for your wisdom Audrey, you were physically beautiful, but your soul will remain eternally beautiful.

Reigning plastic surgery (some good, some not so good) spokesperson Joan Rivers, author of "Men Are Stupid, and They Like Big Boobs" was recently roasted on Comedy Central. Cheers to Joan for having the courage to be roasted with so much on her face to be roasted about.
Here are the top 5, some from Joan herself:

1. "My motto is 'Better a new face coming out of an old car than an old face coming out of a new car.' Spend your money on you."
-- Joan Rivers

2. "You used to look your age. Now you don't even look your species."
-- Greg Giraldo

3. "I know that deep down you have a very, very warm heart, your only original part left."
-- Brad Garrett

4. "You know, my Joanie, Jewish girls are supposed to grow up and marry doctors, not support them."
-- Kathy Griffin

5. "Money can't buy you happiness, but it can pay for the plastic surgery."
-- Joan Rivers
