Oprah Winfrey: Be kind to yourself
Oprah Winfrey talks about how she looks after herself in the latest issue of O, The Oprah Magazine.
Oprah Winfrey thinks it's important to "feed yourself with love and loving thoughts".
The 60-year-old star appears on the cover of the September issue of her publication O, The Oprah Magazine looking fabulous in a black bodysuit and smoky eyeshadow.
In an article accompanying the front page shoot in her magazine's makeover themed edition, Oprah lists 32 ways in which a person can "transform" their life.
"The best way I know for sure to stay in steady makeover mode is to take care of yourself," she recommended to her readers.
"To feed yourself with love and loving thoughts. To eat food that's delicious to you and your body. To engage in loving practices, like giving yourself the gift of stillness at least five minutes a day.
"To surround yourself with people who bring you light, and to banish all forms of negative energy."
Oprah oozes confidence in the snap featured on the cover, which shows off her enviable curves. Citing a poem by the late author Maya Angelou, the TV personality is glad she took the gamble and wore the skin-tight ensemble.
"I'm feeling pretty phenomenal on this cover. I was a little apprehensive about doing this cover in a bodysuit because as Maya Angelou says in her 'Phenomenal Woman,' I'm not built to suit a fashion model size. But it's like something I've never done, it's really kind of exciting," she added.
Oprah previously spoke about how she doesn't fear ageing as it's something women should embrace as part of their life changing.
"Call me crazy, but I've never really understood our culture's fear of getting older. The way I see it, every year can be a brand new journey," she said.
"If you're blessed enough to grow older, there's so much wisdom to be gained from celebrating the process with vibrancy and vigour and grace."

The preliminary round of competitions was not broadcast, but it was held on Friday, August 1, 2014. Just the top 15 participated in the final competition, with the participants being judged on the basis of how they looked in evening gowns and swim suits. The top five, then, had to also answer a question by a member of the panel of judges, as one more factor in determining who the final winner would be. The five judges of the competition were Amber Katz, Christielle Lim, Fred Nelson, Joe Parisi, and Mallory Tucker.

Miss South Carolina, K. Lee Graham, was asked for her interview question how she thought that people 100 years from now would look back on and remember today’s teens. She answered that she hoped future teens would remember the teens of today as being agents of change.
The new Miss Teen USA, K. Lee Graham, would like to promote her Beauty Secrets campaign. It is her belief that being beautiful is not just about outside appearances. It is also about being happy with a person’s inner self and how someone treats others, rather than trying to attain some impossible model of beauty or perfection. She is a vegetarian, who says that kale is her favorite vegetable. Her actual first name is Katherine.
Other awards that the young, intelligent and beautiful women won included Miss Congeniality and Miss Photogenic. The Miss Congeniality award was won by Miss Pennsylvania, Sydney Robertson. The Miss Photogenic award was presented to Miss Alabama, Baskin Champion.
After Miss Teen USA K. Lee Graham won, she was crowned by Miss Teen Usa 2013 Cassidy Wolf from California. Graham stated that it was literally a dream that had come true, as she has often dreamed about becoming the winner of a major beauty pageant.

Lady Gaga Blushes In Red As An Indian Bride
If you happen to mix a bit of Indian and Western attires, you might end up looking a little crazy. However, if the 28-year-old Lady Gaga happens to wear a dress which has touch of both, 'gorgeous' will be the outcome. Of late, we have seen a lot of Hollywood beauties in Bollywood attires looking just about superb. Lady Gaga too has tried her hand at a Bollywood dress and she has given us the best look we could ever have imagined. The eccentric singer, who loves to wear uncanny clothing, was recently spotted outside her home in NYC wearing a red pant and top and looking more like an Indian bride. The vermilion Indian bridal colour on the beauty made her look sensational and stunning. Sources claim that Lady Gaga isn't interested in marriage. But she is very keen on trying every bridal attire. From accessories to headdresses, Lady Gaga's bridal collection seems to be way better than anything that comes across as being 'usual'.
This Indian bridal look of Lady Gaga ranks as the best in her bridal collection. We have also seen the beauty in Indian wear before, but this bridal look is somehow the best of the lot. Here is a collection of Lady Gaga's bridal looks, take a look:
Indian Bride
Lady Gaga can grab the attention of anyone in the fashion world. The beauty who was dressed as an Indian bride looked stunning as she stepped out of her home in NYC.
Red Painted Nails
The red painted nails on the Indian bride made her look all the more stunning. We simply love the way she carried the fierce colour.
Peep Toes
To wrap up this vermilion Indian bridal look, Lady Gaga decided to go with peep toes. The red high heels surely added more oomph to her looks.
Indian Jewels To The Bridal Look
She added the quintessential Indian Bride jewellery which included a maang-tikka (the ornament that you wear on your forehead), a necklace, earrings, a nath (nose ring) and a haath phool (hand harness).
Yoga Pose
The beautiful Lady Gaga even sat in a yoga pose while she performed to one of her songs at a club she was spotted in.
The Red Effect!
More than the red effect she was seen in, it was the heavy haath phool (hand harness) that caught our attention.
In Tarun Tahiliani
The outfit Lady Gaga is seen in is in a lovely cream colour with sexy side panel cutouts, embellished with gold and Swarvoski chains. It is overlain with a stylised, draped sari in shimmery lame and chiffon fabric.
Lady Gaga In Versace Bridal Collection
The long Versace featured gold beading wedding gown was of a strapless design, showing off numerous arm inkings. Lady Gaga emphasised the wedding feel with a heavy veil, and tied around her neck was a glitzy, embellished choker.
Lady Gaga's Plunging Wedding Dress
The 'Born This Way' singer was again spotted in London recently in her latest bridal collection. This wedding dress had a long train and gold tiara and not to forget a plunging cleavage.
The Black Blushing Bride
Yet again, this is one of the singer's bridal collections. The black wedding dress with the black veil looks like the beauty is attending a funeral instead.
The Headdresses
She never misses on wearing head gears. The head gears completes her look in this dress!
