Beauty tips from Audrey Hepburn, aka Eliza Doolittle

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people
For slim figure, share your food with the hungry
For beautiful hair, let a child play with it once a day
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone

So don't fuss, dear; get on with it, go get beautiful!!

    Oh, Duchess, I've had the best time going way back through many previous posts of yours and just soaking up the beauty, grace and serenity. You and your place are such a blessing to me and so many others. I feel like I've spent this time in a lovely garden - I now feel so peaceful and content, I think I'll go right to bed and have sweet dreams. You are ending my evening on a beautiful note. Thank you, Dear One.

    Have a Beautifully Blessed 2010...

    HELLO DUCHESS,
    YOUR POST IS LOVELY, I ADMIRE AUDREY HEPBURN SO VERY MUCH. I REMEMBER HER AS ELIZA DOOLITTLE, I WAS ABOUT 16 YEARS OLD AND MY MOTHER AND I WENT TO NEW YORK CITY, AND SAW THE BROADWAY PLAY. THEN WE WENT TO TAVERN ON THE GREEN FOR A DELICIOUS LUNCH. WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY I HAD. YOUR FLOWERS ARE ALSO LOVELY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR NICE COMMENT YOU LEFT ME. HAVE A NICE DAY.
