When you’re in line and there’s a fashion magazine in front of you, or when you watch television or view internet ads with gorgeous models pushing the latest product, here is a motto for you to remember:

True beauty comes from within.

Truly beautiful women realize that their gentle spirit, their courageous nature, and their fortitude in adversity are more valuable assets than jewels, designer handbags, or luxury shoes.

Truly beautiful women know that gratitude in their hearts makes more of an impact than cosmetic surgery.

Truly beautiful women understand that compassionate words, a kind voice, and patience when working with others makes more of an impression than a tailored suit.

Truly beautiful women believe that a warm smile makes more of a statement than jars upon jars of face cream.

I know you are beautiful inside: it’s what makes you valuable, successful, and unique in our universe. Let that beauty shine.

And here are some additional beauty tips from actress Audrey Hepburn:

“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/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 will 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, and the other for helping others.”
