1. Do not judge by appearances; a rich heart may be hidden under a poor coat.
The first impression we give someone is our outward appearance. From how our hair is styled to our makeup technique, what we look like speaks to those who see us. But does it tell the whole story?
"The world’s crazy, when it comes to beauty” — Richard Bach
Have you ever read a beauty secret and thought, "What in the world?" These five celebrities had innovative (and a bit kooky) ways to achieve their desired looks. From cooking materials to body modification, we are breaking down five famous celebrities' beauty tips.
1. Do not judge by appearances; a rich heart may be hidden under a poor coat.
The first impression we give someone is our outward appearance.
From how our hair is styled to our makeup technique, what we look like speaks to those who see us. But does it tell the whole story? The librarian who was short with you may be in the middle of a nasty custody battle.
The distracted coworker may have recently ended a long chemo treatment.
When we judge people based on their appearances, we miss their rich stories, lessons, and strengths. Stop and look around... without judgment... and discover the astonishing truths that come from their victories and losses. Beauty goes beyond the skin. We find its abundance if we pay attention.

2. Every morning you have a new opportunity to become a happier version of yourself.
We all have bad days. That is a part of being human. Maybe we weren't patient with strangers or felt distant from our loved ones.
2. Every morning you have a new opportunity to become a happier version of yourself.
We all have bad days. That is a part of being human. Maybe we weren't patient with strangers or felt distant from our loved ones.
Or… in the words of the children's book we read to our kids… it was a "no good, very bad day." Whatever happens, you have the chance to change it.
Each morning we wake, we reset. It's an opportunity to become the best version of ourselves.

Each morning we wake, we reset. It's an opportunity to become the best version of ourselves. And... you are allowed to reset at any moment. Did you eat cake when you said no sugar?
We wouldn't skip sunscreen all day because we forgot to apply it when we left the house, right? Don't throw away the rest of the day - just reset. You deserve to be happy.
3. Don't think of getting older as looking better or worse; it's just different. You change, and that's okay.
Why should milestones stop? We are born, talk, walk, go to school, get married, have babies, and celebrate graduations.

Why should milestones stop?
We are born, talk, walk, go to school, get married, have babies, and celebrate graduations.
Our life is rich with memories and adventures still to be made. Yes, we have changed, but that shouldn't hold us back. We have been changing our entire lives.
There is no predetermined point where the change should stop us from having an enriching life full of growth and milestones. Step out, make your plans, dream, and chase new adventures. You've earned it

4. You were born to be real, not to be perfect.
Who said we had to be perfect? That is sheer poppycock if you ask us. Humans are not made to be perfect - we are made to be human. In other words, we are beings having a human experience, not a perfect experience.

Who said we had to be perfect? That is sheer poppycock if you ask us. Humans are not made to be perfect - we are made to be human. In other words, we are beings having a human experience, not a perfect experience.
To be human means that we trip and fall. We bruise. We have skin that burns and freckles.
Our body wears down, and we require rest to repair. Being human is not a character defect. We are not supposed to be flawless, ageless, porcelain dolls that never break.
We are meant to be real and relate to each other. We laugh too loud and sometimes snort. Our food burns when we have guests over, and we laugh together at the memory of charred pork chops smothered in sauce to mask the taste. We hold hands and hug when our imperfect being craves it. Once we stop trying to be perfect, we embrace our second life - the one where we genuinely connect with each other.

5. Never let the things you want make you forget the things you have.
The world we live in markets to us. Unfortunately, some companies do it with reverse psychology.
Instead of building us up to let us see the good in ourselves and the world around us, they focus on tearing us down.
They make us feel as if what we have isn't enough. "Oh, you bought a car without navigation and all-wheel-drive.
That isn't enough. What's that? Does your yard have dandelions in it? You must use this weed killer for a manicured yard." If careful, we can avoid falling into the trap of 'keeping up with the Jones's.'
The danger is that mentality can spread past things and onto people. "Patty's family has big Sunday dinners - your kids never invite you for dinner." When we focus on what we don't have, we forget what we do have. Gratitude and a focus on the positives in our lives remind us that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
If we water our own yard, we may find those dandelions let our grandkids squeal with joy as they blow their seeds away with a wish.
6. There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.
Ladies… life hasn’t always been easy on us. We have endured heartbreak, lousy pay, juggling schedules, and worn so many hats.

6. There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself.
Ladies… life hasn’t always been easy on us. We have endured heartbreak, lousy pay, juggling schedules, and worn so many hats.
So many of us walked through tragedy, abuse, sleepless nights, worry, and tremendous loss.
We've made mistakes, wrestled with demons, and navigated it… sometimes well and sometimes poorly. Yet, through all the hardship, we are still standing.
We have lessons that we have lived through and secrets to share. An entire younger generation is ready to learn from the roads we paved.
All those nights on our knees brought us to one simple conclusion: no matter how scraped up and bruised we were, we always rose back up. Even if we were shaky… and even if we were unsure.... we did it anyway.
Nothing is stronger than someone who has walked through the fire and come out on the other side. And ladies, we are strong.
