I write today’s blog from the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. Paul and I are on on a little surf vacation. And let me be real – I haven’t been feeling so cute lately. This haole-girl feels a bit out of place amidst the nearly naked golden brown bodies of bombshell surfer girls and professional tanners (modesty is not the policy). I glance at their natural blond highlights, dainty, lean physiques and skimpy bikinis and all of a sudden I feel like I don’t match up. Last night after recovering from another sunburn (no, this haole-girl doesn’t tan), I stumbled across this list of “Beauty Tips by God” which I wrote for a Mother-Daughter brunch I spoke at a few years ago. I knew the time was fitting and after meditating on it myself I thought I would share it with you girls. So here it is – timeless beauty tips inspired by the Author of Beauty Himself.
