Time Tested 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 that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of each of your arms. 

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. 

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives and the passion that she shows.

The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

By Sam Levenson

The words of this poem are powerful and although Sam Levenson (December 28, 1911 – August 27, 1980) wrote this poem for his granddaughter years ago, it is still relevant today. We can understand why Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) claimed it as one of her favorites and provided it when others would ask her for beauty tips. It is needed for women to know and live by this, but it will be mind blowing for men to understand true beauty and apply these tips in their lives too.

Today, be encourage to teach both your daughters and sons true beauty of a person, you can start by having them join Teens Help Other People - TeenHOP. If you are a male, please know these words are relevant for you too. My favorite line is "As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others."
