Beauty Advice From Audrey Hepburn, Tea For Beauty, and More

Love Advice: Unknown

From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being.

Beauty Advice: Audrey Hepburn

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 door to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.

TEA keeps cavities away! Both green and black tea contain fluoride and polyphenols to prevent plaque from adhering to the tooth's surface. Model's drink tea for this very reason, and carry their tea bags faithfully. After models are done drinking their tea, they use their cool tea bags to refresh their eyes. Simply squeeze the tea bag of so that it isn't "dripping", and gently dab the bags under the eye area. If your face is clean, run over the entire face for a quick pick me up!

Glamour Guide: By Sandra Deeble From "A Girl's Guide To Glamour"

KNOW THYSELF. In order to garner glamour, you need to bare all, to yourself. A life unexamined is a life not worth living. believed Socrates, but a body unexamined will not help you to live to the full.

You need to be honest. Kindly so, rather than brutally honest. Don't be so frank with yourself that you end up in a sobbing heap on the floor.

Having confidence in yourself is gained from making the best of your raw ingredients. Be aware of both your strengths and not-so-feisty features, then deal with reality. As a rule of thumb, flaunt the fabulous, disguise the disappointing. Suggestions to become a master of disguises:

* Large breast: Wear wide and low necklines, not halter or high necks.

* Love handles: Wear flares, not baggy tops, hipsters.

* Thick ankles: Wear long skirts, not Capri pants, kitten heels.

* Plump arms: Hide and go for floaty sleeves, not cap sleeves, skin-tight long sleeves, spaghetti straps.

* Flat chests: Wear halter and high necks, not round t-shirts under V-neck tops.

* Big bum: Wear flared skirted jackets that cover critical area, not short jackets, A-line skirts

* Overhang tummy: Wear ballet-style wrap tops, Jane Austen Empire dresses, not hipsters

* Thick waist: Wear low plunge V necks, cut off cardigans, not double-breasted anything, shift dresses, baggy pullovers.

* Short legs: Wear just-below-knee- skirts, layered tops. In summer, skin-tone-shoes. Looks very odd in winter with dark clothes, not crop tops, mid-calf skirts.

Don't know what you're good at? Ask someone to help you figure it out. Sometimes the people closest to us know us better than we know ourselves. A sample questionnaire to ask friends and family members:

* What are my best qualities?

* What are my worst?

* Are there some things I do better than anyone else?

* Besides karaoke, are there some things I think I am good at, but really not?

* What can I do that no one else can do?

* When you need help from me, what do you call me for?

* If you could pick out the perfect (legal ) career for me, what would it be and why?

* When have you seen me happiest, career-wise?

Wabi Sabi is a universal ideal of beauty. Wabi Sabi celebrates the basic, the unique, and the imperfect parts of our lives. Wabi Sabi is the comfortable joy you felt as a child, happily singing off key, creatively coloring outside the lines, and mispronouncing word with gusto. On a deeper level, Wabi Sabi is the profound awareness of our oneness with all life and the environment. It includes a deep awareness of he choices we make each day, the power we have to accept or reject each moment of our lives, and to find value in every experience.

Love Advice: Sir Hugh Walpole

The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident and the most wonderful of all things in life. (Sir Hugh Walpole)

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it is better to be absolutely rediculous than absolutely boring. (From Marilyn: Her Life in Her Own Words)

Beauty Secret: Diane Irons

Be the Star of Your Own Show: You should be what people notice. Your cosmetics and clothes should not compete for attention with each other, or with you. Stay with the basics, but invent your own style. If you like the color red, then use it as a consistent accent piece in your wardrobe. Do you have a special collection of pins or bracelets? Show them off; make them your signature. But definitely do not attempt to wear more than two pieces at a time. (From The World's Best-Kept Beauty Secrets)

Glamour Advice: Sandra Deeble

It's All In The Mind: The really great thing about glamour is that it is possible to think yourself glamorous. Here are some tips to get you started. (From A Girl's Guide to Glamour)
* Shed doubts now.
* Stop wondering what other people think about you.
* Close your eyes and visualize yourself in a world where you float, breathe evenly, and your heart beats firmly yet calmly. Say to yourself that you are 100 per cent certain that your place in the world is admired, welcomed, and envied. Believe it.
* Hypnotize yourself if you can - play haunting music - and see yourself living out a soignee life in rapturous Technicolor.
* Be kind to yourself. If there are areas of your life that are lackluster or in disarray, make time to think about them. Don't panic. Your mind doesn't need to spiral out of control.
* Start practicing a more glamorous vocabulary from today.
* Luxuriate in your life, revel in the good things, sparkle in company, fizz with laughter, celebrate hedonism, fun, and joy.

Success Advice: Paula Froelich

Don't try to fake a talent you really don't have! Sometimes you've just got to know when a dream is not attainable. A friend of mine dated a man for many years who was extremely depressed. He had always wanted to be an actor but found himself as a computer graphics guy instead. When he was younger, he never really went after the dream of acting, assuming something would just fall in his lap. Then later, he did it in a severely half-assed way. Yet he always moaned about wanting to become an actor. Because he never got off his ass and did anything in a wholehearted manner, he ended up, at the ripe old age of forty-eight; smoking way too much pot, broke, and annoying. Time for another dream, buddy. (From It! 9 Secrets Of The Rich and Famous That Will Take You To The Top)

Advice for Single Ladies

Love Advice:

" Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand infront of his friends, who thinks you're just pretty without make-up on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says thats HER. " (Unknown)

" A Raisin: A person who has a dream, but has never gone after it. Instead, they bitterly go about their other business and , like Gollum with the Ring, obsess, and cradle their dream without ever using it. They are usually the dried-up bitter people who are like the last raisin in the box, smushed up, wrinkly, and, usually sour. I have always hated raisins. " (Paula Froelich from her Book "IT" )

Love, Beauty, and More

Love Quote from Captain Corelli's Mandoline

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love' which any of us can convince ourselves we are love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.

Beauty Quote by Oscar Hammerstein II

Do you love because I'm beautiful, or I am beautiful because you love me?
