dove

....just something i think is important. and i commend dove for it. go check out the campaign website here and one of the commercials here.


i just think this is so important! it's not easy getting to a point in your life where you completely love and appreciate every bit of yourself as much as you should. gals, you know what i'm talking about. that place where you look at yourself in the mirror naked and you have absolutely no negative things to say (or think) about yourself. i could go on and on about the media and what america tells women they should look like but i'll spare you. the bottom line is that women should be able to see themselves as they are and say/think that there isn't one thing they would change about themselves.

ya, ya, ya....i know what you're thinking. i'm thinking it myself. "that'll never happen..." and i know. but can't we attain for something even remotely close to that? if we could stand in the mirror ourselves and refuse to say or even think anything negative about our appearance - if we could train oursleves to instead point out one thing we like about ourselves each day. then two, then three, then hopefully too many to count. each day. what a difference that would make!

i don't think it's unachievable.

I love this post!

And I love this campaign Dove has. I love those billboards and bus stop ads...It feels refreshing to have some honest advertising. Now that makes me want to buy their soap!
