A few years ago I listed Audrey Hepburn’s list of beauty tips. It was actually one of her favorite essays to quote in public, and whenever she did, she always carefully gave credit to it’s author, humorist Sam Levenson. Sam Levenson also said that “Insanity is hereditary–you can get it from your children!”
Here is Ms. Hepburn’s favorite beauty quote of Mr. Levenson’s:
1. For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
2 For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
3. For a slim figure, share your 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. 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 (by the way, Kirk Douglas in a recent article said that helping others keeps the elderly from becoming depressed).
7. 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 doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. 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 woman only grows with passing years.
When asked in January 1992 if she had any personal beauty secrets besides Levenson’s philosophical tips, Ms. Hepburn said, “If I had them, I’d make a fortune. But I know what helps–health, lots of sleep, lots of fresh air, and a lot of help from Estee Lauder.” And that was before the days of Botox and fillers “gone wild”.
Be well.
