The following was written by Audrey Hepburn, who was asked to share her "beauty tips"...

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 that you never walk alone.

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 from 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 mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows.

That's why the beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

What's Hot and What's Not in Ohio!

map of OhioWhat's Hot!

Shirts - American Eagle and Hollister are big. Wearing undershirts that are lacey at the bottom are always cute. Vibrant colors and cute tops are in.

Jeans - American Eagle jeans are in. Light faded jeans that fit just right, never too tight, never too loose. Anything that is cute and comfortable to wear.

Hair - Blonde hair is in. or just about any color as long as you know how to style it. Straight hair is in. And beautiful curls (loose curls) are in as well. Bangs that are swept to the side or maybe straightened are cute too. Not too long or not too short. Messy buns.

Jewelry - Nice earrings, long and shiny cute necklaces go great with nice tees...but don't go overboard with the jewelry

Make-up - Light and natural makeup is a biggie. Don't pile it all on. A brush of mascara and a swipe of eyeliner is about it. Maybe a bit of eye shadow but not too much.

Shoes - When it is warm, flip flops are always in. Flats are cute with a nice outfit. NIKE!! NIKE!! shoes are in. Nike shocks or anything Nike.

What's Not!

Shirts - Baggy or plain shirts are so un-cool. Or shirts that don't fit you right. And remember if you are going to wear a nice shirt, then wear a cute undershirt as well.

Jeans - Jeans that are really dark blue are out. If you deliberately rip holes in them, then it's so not cool. Wearing leggings under any skirts are just ugly. Skirts are out for now. Also, jeans where it goes tight, tight, tight. then gets loose just looks weird. Get jeans that fit, people!

Hair - any hair that looks too long or too short or where you just let it hang.

Jewelry - jewelry that looks as if it is weighing you down, is a no-no. Any plastic jewelry is out as well.

Make-up - Any that looks like you are trying to get someone's attention by putting on that stuff layer by layer; un-natural make-up just isn't cute

Shoes - Shoes that are falling apart are obviously out. Wedges or high heels are a no-no. Shoes that aren't very comfortable are a bad choice

You should always find your OWN sense of style and not try to tag or follow behind others and what they are doing. If someone is wearing something you like, then buy it. But if you just buy it to be something you're not...then don't bother. The most important thing about clothes is if they fit right, and if they're comfortable to you.

What’s Hot and What's Not in India!

map of IndiaWhat’s Hot!

Tops: Short tops, Tie-dyed tops, sequined tight ones (kinda)

Bottoms: Mini-skirts teamed with tights are totally in! Tight jeans and not so baggy ones are cool too

Accessories: Cute scarves, sequined clutches are so in

Jewelry: Costume jewelry teamed up with jeans looks superb, Tibetan jewelry is cute and is very cheap and looks fab. Fake diamond earrings are too cool.

Stores: Pyramids, Pepe Jeans London, Pune Central are totally hip stores to shop in

Style: Originality is awarded greatly here. Copy-cats stay out

Shoes: Keds and boots

Hair: Highlights are very much in. natural colours, not pink and blues. Wispy bangs

Makeup: mascara, teeny weeny bit of grayish-black eyeliner, Lip gloss is the in thing. Eye shadow if you want to look like a diva, but light pinks and blues only

Hangout spots: the mall, Multiplex, McDonalds, Cadbys

What’s Not!

Tops: Turtlenecks are for geeks, flowery things are a definite no-no

Bottoms: long skirts, 3/4th skirts, too-baggy jeans look outrageous!

Accessories: humongous purses are not practical and look really bad

Jewelry: anything humongous

Shoes: floaters and stilettos

Hair: boy cuts weren't, aren't, and are never gonna be in, step cuts are another silly thing to do here

Makeup: too much eyeliner makes you look like a raccoon, Lipstick is totally not working here.

So just keep it in the middle - neither on the simple and plain side nor on the total diva side. Middle is the safe and cool zone. Later!
