Beauty Tips

The beautiful and successful film actress Audrey Hepburn was once asked to share the secret behind her "beauty tips." She wrote the following poem, which was also read at her funeral years later.

Beauty Tips

For attractive lips,
Speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, Seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure,
Share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair,
let a child run his or her fingers
through it once a day.
For poise,
Walk with the knowledge you'll
never walk alone.

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.

~Audrey Hepburn
