I participate in this campaign from Global Influence and Dove. All opinions are my own.
I’ve always been a believer in natural beauty. I think we are all beautiful and don’t need pounds of makeup or Photoshop to make us look like someone we aren’t. I generally only get dolled up maybe once a month for an occasional date night or blogger get together, but I have sensitive skin and makeup tends to break me out. I think #BeautyIs being yourself and comfortable in your own skin. Not worrying about everyone else. It’s that self-esteem that is breaking the mold of the size 00 models and showing real women. Which is something that I love about Dove.
Dove also has these great Self Esteem workshops for young girls. I was able to sit in on one of these sessions back in May and it brought me to tears seeing these girls break out of their shells and tell us what they thought #BeautyIs and how we can change some of the negative into positive ideas.
Walgreens and Dove Want You to Share Your Real Beauty with #BeautyIs
Dove and Walgreens are committed to building positive self-esteem and inspiring all women and girls to reach their full potential and acknowledge that beauty is defined in many different ways.
Like selfies! Everyone with a camera phone is doing it, but the motivation behind posting a selfie is usually self-serving. Walgreens and Dove want to encourage women and girls to use their selfies for good and show what #BeautyIs by explaining what it means to them with any of the types of pictures below.
• A self-portrait that captures your natural beauty
• A picture that shows you sharing a positive moment with someone else
• An image that shows you giving back
• A picture that portrays your overall personality
It’s easy to participate. Just share what #BeautyIs on Instagram or Twitter. Visit DoveShareYourBeauty.com to see what other women are sharing.
