90’s kids will remember Tweetie de Leon-Gonzales as the TV actress and supermodel with classic and refreshing beauty. Seeing her now, the same 90’s kids–now parents themselves–will surely still be in awe of her timeless elegance and natural grace.
Recently declared as Preview.ph’s 2024 Style Icon, nearly three decades after being featured as the magazine’s debut cover girl, Tweetie shared a few simple beauty tips for other moms as she walked the red carpet at the Preview Ball.
Tweetie’s simple beauty tips
Strive for balance
“The primary beauty tip that I can share with moms,” Tweetie began during her quick interview with Smart Parenting on the red carpet, “I know once I say it, you’re going to think, ‘Oh yeah, easier said than done.’” She acknowledged the common struggle moms face when trying to juggle their responsibilities with personal care. Yet, she believes that achieving balance is the key. “But I think really it’s about trying to achieve balance in your life.”
Moms, who are typically expected to wear multiple hats–nurturing, working, and managing the household–can definitely relate to Tweetie’s words. She encourages moms to explore their interests and passions without guilt. “You try anything and everything you’re interested in because that’s the only way to have fun.”
Find the sweet spot between fun and responsibility
However, Tweetie reminded parents that while indulging in hobbies and self-care is important, responsibilities should not be forgotten. “We need to temper it somehow, other things with more serious responsibilities so that at the end of the day, you get to achieve the best of both worlds.” She emphasizes how parents should balance fun and self-care with responsibility–whether it’s enjoying life or taking care of important commitments.
Enjoy, but commit
One standout moment in Tweetie’s advice was her down-to-earth approach to managing indulgences. She used relatable examples: “You get to have pizza, but then try to work out.” She also mentioned, “You go out in the sun, but please put sunblock.” For Tweetie, beauty and health come from understanding and managing trade-offs. She encourages moms to embrace the joys of life while also staying committed to habits that keep them healthy and looking their best.
Compromise and commit
Finally, Tweetie’s closing thought in the interview captured the essence of her advice: “There are always trade-offs and we should be able to compromise and we should be able to commit to what we need to do, but still enjoy life.”
Tweetie’s message serves as a gentle reminder to busy parents that self-care doesn’t have to be a complicated, all-or-nothing approach. It’s about finding joy in life’s small pleasures while making room for the things that matter most. Whether it’s indulging in a delicious meal or spending the day under the sun, balance and moderation are the real keys to sustaining beauty and happiness.
