Inner Beauty Packet

This packet I have is very old. It was done with a typewriter and carbon paper years ago. I will try to recreate the important parts for you.

Instructions for making Beauty Bags:

Copy the beauty tips on colored paper. Encourage the young women to look up the scripture and mark. Invite the young women to “Experiment upon the Word” and begin applying these beauty tips.

*Note these were originally make for a camp project and if you want to use it that way you can give the girls just one or two of the tips each day. Have them put each days’ tip in her beauty bag.

When I did this I used the value colors, since there are 7 beauty tips it made it easy to have one tip on each of the value colors.

The graphics are not transferring to this document the way I had hoped. So the alternative is to tell you what is on each of the cards so you can create the graphics yourself.

Attractive Lips - For attractive lips, speak only kind words. "My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit." Job 27:4 GRAPHIC – lips

Daily Cleansing - A daily program of cleansing helps to eliminate blemishes.Daily repentance and commitment to keep the commandments, keeps you free from the blemish of sin. "Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin." Psalms 51:2GRAPHIC – bar of soap

Good Posture – Stand tall, you are a daughter of God! Walk with the knowledge that you’ll never walk alone. “..Do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you…” D&C 68:6 GRAPHIC – tall pine tree

Proper Rest – Sweet dreams bring beautiful tomorrows! “..Cease to sleep longer than is needful; retire to thy bed early that ye may not be weary; rise early that your bodies and your minds may be invigorated.” D&C 88:124 GRAPHIC- bed or tent

Drink Plenty of Water – Pure water cleanses the body. The well of living water purifies the soul. Drink freely from the well of water that leads to eternal life. “..But the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:14 GRAPHIC- drinking glass

Regular Exercise – Regular exercise strengthens and firms the body. It also refreshes the mind and spirit. Exercising faith strengthens our testimony and gives us a firm foundation. Faith also refreshes our mind and spirit to the truth of all things. Don’t sweat it, have the faith to bear your testimony. “And it shall come to pass, that inasmuch as they are faithful, and exercise faith in me, I will pour out my Spirit upon them in the day that they assemble themselves together (for testimony meeting).” D&C 44:2 GRAPHIC- this one was a box of tissues for the testimony part but you just choose something that works for your group.

Beautiful Eyes - For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others.If you look for the good, that's what you'll see. "Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God." D&C 18:10 GRAPHIC- eyes and glasses

Take a half sheet of regular paper and create a makeup bag sideways so that you can glue the sides and have the top open to place the tips in the top edge. Decorate with clipart or what ever suits your needs.
