Growing up, Breakfast At Tiffany’s was one of my favorite films. It is arguably one of the best  romantic comedies; a true classic. I still have Truman Capote’s script in my room, along with the music and scene shots (can you tell I’m a fan?). I loved Audrey Hepburn's whimsical character Holly Golightly (ahh her fashion sense, zest for life, yet flawed/troubling life at times; cue Moon River)….More personally, there was something endearing about the way Audrey carried herself off screen.

 
 
 
My mom shared this with me today and I wanted to share it with all of the Audrey’s out there and the men who appreciate them!  Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her 'beauty tips.' 
 
 
 
It was read at her funeral years later.
 
 

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.
