To My Beautiful Friends & Another Recipe

To all my BEAUTIFUL Bloggin' girlfriends

Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn (a woman whom I admired and loved in the movies) wrote when asked to share her 'beauty tips.' It was read at her funeral years later. The words a very inspiring and hold a ton of truth.

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.
