i absolutely LOVE the new Dove ad! Saw it on TV the other day and i couldn't help but wish they had ads like that when i was younger. i remember the days when it was too painful to even look at myself in the mirror because i thought i was too ugly and too fat. not to mention the fact that i had to contend with my self-inflicted self-esteem issues on how stupid, klutzy, etc. i was. it took me quite some time to realize that a)i cannot do anything about the way that i look because i am a product of genetics (even if i AM the genetic black sheep in my family :s hahaha!), b)how i look does NOT in any way define who i am, and c)i had to learn to accept myself for being ME despite all my imperfections and irregularities. don't get me wrong, it sometimes still is painful to look at myself in the mirror and all but i've gradually begun to accept and love myself. (haha, talk about narcissistic... :s) :)



i love this add, too:



i commend Dove for initiating their Campaign for Real Beauty. Though it IS evidently a marketing strategy on their part, it works! it's pro-active. it recognizes the problem of self-esteem as something that needs to be addressed and has taken positive steps in order to empower girls. i agree, every girl deserves to feel good about herself. :)

"I don't care if I never grow up
Don't want to shrink in a suit
Don't want live just to suck someones bones dry
I'd rather die."
