Written by: Kristan Serafino

8 Reasons why we love Audrey Hepburn’s beauty tips:

  1. “For attractive lips, Speak words of kindness.”
  2. “For lovely eyes, Seek out the good in People.”
  3. “For a slim figure, share you 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. “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.”
  7. “Remember, If you are ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.”
  8. “The beauty of a women is not in a facial mole.  But 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 women with passing years-only grows!”

Thank you Audrey for reminding us of the real meaning of true beauty!

“Iconic Beauty – Rita Hayworth”

Written by Kristan Serafino

Rita Hayworth (born Margarita Cansino; October 17, 1918 – May 14, 1987) was one of Hollywood’s leading box office attractions in the world during the 1940s & 50s appearing in 61 films.  Rita was not only an talented actress playing opposite Cary Grant, James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster and others, but she was an accomplished dancer starting in musicals with Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly.

Second only to her headlines in films, were her headline making marriages…all 5 of them.  This little girl born in Brooklyn went on to marry some of the world’s most eligible men including Orson Wells and Prince Ali Khan.

In spite of a tumultuous professional and private life, Rita never forgot how fortunate she was to be a celebrity.  In one of her many notable quotes Rita says, “Sometimes when I find myself getting impatient I just remember the times I cried my eyes out because nobody wanted to take my picture at the Trocadero (a small Hollywood nightclub where she was discovered).

“Sophia Loren Iconic Beauty”

“Where youthful beauty is unconscious, mature beauty is knowing and sophisticated.”  No clearer definition has been spoken on the subject of beauty than this adage by Sophia Loren.

I challenged my readers in Wednesday’s post, titled The Hair Challenge, to take a chance on change and mix-up your hairstyle daily for 20 straight days.  You will be pleasantly surprised at the positive reaction from family, friends and colleagues.  We all get in a rut – myself included – of getting too comfortable with our “signature look.”  The problem with “signature looks” is one style rarely complements every wardrobe change or event on your varied schedule.  Another problem with “signature looks” is family, friends and colleagues are reluctant to mention that change is longgggg overdue… for fear of retaliation.

Let me leave you today with a few words from one of the world’s great beauties, that just happened to embrace the concept of change throughout her illustrious and varied life.

“I used to change my hair color almost every day…one day I would be a redhead, the next a blonde and finally a brunette.”

“In the course of my film career I have had many different hairstyles and I found that each one highlighted various aspects of my looks and my personality.”

“I always prefer a simple hairstyle, with subtle changes, however formal the occasion.”

I threw in these last couple quotes simply because I liked the message they evoke.

“Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes.  It is not something physical.”

“If you can learn to use your mind as well as your powder puff, you will become more truly beautiful.”

Daily – “Audrey Hepburn Iconic Beauty”

“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 that 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 the passion that she shows.  The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

If you share this with another woman, something good will happen — you will boost another woman’s self esteem, and she will know that you care about her.” Audrey Hepburn
