The Dove Self-Esteem Fund
I love Dove. I love their adds. Sometimes they make me almost cry. Almost. I got this video sent to me.
I've received a few videos and pictures of models and famous people being touched up for magazines in my emails. For a small instant I get great satisfaction in seeing all these pretty people caught in their worst moments. I know they aren't really totally real. I know. But for some reason knowing this and seeing it right in front of me doesn't change the way I think. Maybe its too late for me. Every one has their thing. The thing they just can't stand about themselves. Even the prettiest girls have them. And even though I look at some pretty girl complaining about something and I think "What the heck does she have to complain about? Seriously?" I have to remind myself that even though I might not see it and I might not take it seriously, it's real to her. I wish things were different. I wish we all didn't feel so crappy about ourselves and say the crap that we say in our heads. Mostly I wish that things would get easier for all the little girls growing up out there. The sad thing is that its just going to get worse. Maybe I would believe these if it was actually happening to me and I got to see myself transformed. Probably not.

i tried the link.... it didn't work... fyi
i really like the things that Dove does too. once i even decided that i would only use Dove products...but i didn't really like them. their shampoo and conditioner kinda left a film on my hair. and the deodorant rubbed off on my clothes. but i like the fact they use "real" women/girls in their ads.
k i can't get the link i want to work. so you gotta click on the link and go to the vidoe from the main page.
i use the cucumber deodorant and their hairspray smells amazing. i also like their body wash. it smells so good.
The link worked great for me... Straight to the video. No prob.

That video is amazing. We all could look that good if we all had the same mask to wear. Too bad it's not as easy to fix the girl inside who sees herself as ugly and unlovable.
I also like the bodywash.
I use the shampoo, and have used the bodywash. I like them, but if I find something cheaper, I usually give that a try. I am not totally devoted to it.
