The Dove Mission.- CLOSED
On Thursday, I shared my story of depression, abuse and self-esteem issues.
And I have good news. There is someone who cares. A very big someone.
Dove is a company who is trying to combat the negative self-esteem issues in young girls.
The Dove mission is to reach 5 million girls with self-esteem programming by 2010. Since 2005, the brand has reached over 3.5 million girls globally.
In fact, every time you buy Dove beauty care products your purchase supports the Dove Self Esteem Fund. T
his fall Dove launched the “Thank you for Making a Difference” program to thank supporters for building girl’s self-esteem and to invite everyone to share their stories about making a difference in self-esteem.
This is an amazing task they are undertaking, because being frank about self-esteem is tough, and not many people want to talk about it. I know it took me weeks to put a page of my story down, and I am lucky enough to have my blog as an open forum. Dove is giving them the opportunity they might not have had otherwise.
You can find out more about this campaign by visiting http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com/. It’s a great site loaded with information regarding TRUE beauty.
For my readers, I am giving away a True You! Work book- mother and daughter guide for self-esteem. Just leave a comment below, about what you have done to raise self-esteem and you are entered. The winner will be chosen on Saturday, January 16th.
Dear readers: I received Dove products & the True You! Workbooks for free from Dove. And honestly, it couldn’t have come at a better time. I am very thankful that Dove takes the time to support this cause, and I will only be buying Dove body products because of it. This one really hit close to home for me.
Depression BITES!!! I know, I deal with it daily. Win or loose the giveaway I had to share about the Dove Magnet set I used to have. It was for Mother’s and Daughter’s and my daughter and I used to leave secret messages on the side of the fidge for each other. She is now 11 and we have lost all the magnets, but we had fun, and have now moved on to doing “projects” together, this week is teaching her to crochet. A few years ago we even made a quilt, she was 6. We made a lap quilt for my grandmother who quilts BIG time. She sat on my lap and “steered” while I had my foot on the peddle and “drove”, we had a blast. Thanks for sharing!!!
Well, I help my 2 girls by just trying to be a good role model. I come from a very female family who have known from the word go that we need to be happy with ourselves and depend on ourselves. Growing up in that type of environment taught me that I was equal to anyone. I am passing along those traits to my girls.
Oh, and we value real people, not celebrities (with exception to the Disney Princesses
..lol).
