✨ "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 is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years." ✨
— Audrey Hepburn
Let these words remind us to cherish the beauty that comes from within, for it's the kindness, love, and compassion in our hearts that truly make us shine. 💖
