After a VERY long thursday at work which started at 8am and finished at 8pm, I was half thinking to pass on the blogging front today. I thought I would be forgiven for missing one day especially after such a chaotic and crazy week. But when I came home and did the usual rounds of the social media sites, something jumped out at me that I couldn't ignore.
Dove is one of my all time favourite beauty brands for many reasons; the smell of their classic soap bar reminds me of my mother and their moisturisers do wonders to my super irrational skin.
But aside from that, they are a brand that really care about women [and men]. The invest time and money into campaigns that speak to people.
They believe that beauty is more than what's on the outside and they go above and beyond when it comes to building up peoples self esteem. They are an advocate for loving your body and your beauty and embracing your best and worst qualities. All of which I feel very strongly about.
And this video made by Dove United States, demonstrates exactly how badly we perceive ourselves!

When I was younger I was a very insecure; I didn't like my nose, my big forehead or my wide hips. And then I realized that my bone structure cannot be changed and I should start accepting myself a little more.
Everyone feels insecure at times, but we are all different and those differences should be something to embrace, not be embarrassed about.
I admit that while I think I've been a little more confident in my appearances I still have those moments and those small things I'm insecure about. After this video, all those insecurities pretty much vanished. :)

i think everyone will always have insecurities as long as they live, but this video does kind of bring them into perspective!
Deleteit is quite strange and true that we don't always see ourselves in good lights, I suppose we all need to work on that.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this. have a sweet day.
i think its really interesting how different the pictures turned out. just shows you how you perceive yourself is never the really the same as how others see you.
Deletethanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment!! :)
I feel you. I teared up when I saw this because I can relate. But overcoming this usually hard. From my experience, it's a slow step by step process. Fortunately, Dove has taken a step to spread the message! Bravo to Dove :)
