True Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.  For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.  Audrey Hepburn

Love this.  LOVE IT!  Today's quote is some of the best beauty advice one will ever receive.  True beauty comes from the inside.  On hard days I have a harder time applying these tips, depending on the situation.  So I am reminded today to continue to be mindful of my application of beauty.  For example, it isn't words of kindness if I include a "but" (negative) with it.  Then it just becomes lipstick on my teeth or a really bad color for me to wear.  You catch my drift I'm sure.  :)  
So today as you are preparing for your day, doing your grooming, just remember what kind of beauty lasts with others.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment. 

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.
