Real Woman Beauty Tips

Women are constantly bombarded with new easy ways to get.... Fuller eyelashes, smaller butts, tighter arms, flatter stomachs, larger breasts, thicker hair, bluer eyes, better sex, tighter clothes, less clothes, less modesty etc. It's not just the "world" either that are pushing these issues, women in the church also value some of these superficial quick fixes. There is nothing wrong OF COURSE with wanting to look nice and healthy, but sometimes I wonder if we are placing looks above health and going overboard.

I like my hair. It's shiny and soft,  I condition it every other day and keep it up most days.

I would like to work out more but time is a bit constricted at the moment.

I actually LIKE my butt, it's firm! ;)

I have a kick A personality. Just sayin...

My boobs are big enough, thank you.

I'm a little socially awkward and have weird quirks but hey, it keeps everyone around me giggling and on their toes.

I have always thought I actually looked more beautiful when... I am in tune, doing good for others, happy. My Amy sent me a quote/ poem by Audrey Hepburn or Sam Levenson both are attributed to this poem/quote anyway it's spurring this rant.

She says:

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 you'll never walk alone.


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.


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 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 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 woman, with passing years, only grows!


- Audrey Hepburn
