Nurturing Self Esteem & Boosting Confidence #DoveInspired

Oct 29

  
In today’s hectic society beauty is widely portrayed by edited photos in magazines, airbrushed models, and unrealistic images of picture perfect celebrities. The media can be harsh and sometimes it sets a bar of very unrealistic standards the younger generation should be striving to be like. Instead of embracing imperfections, young girls can sometimes be discouraged and ashamed of the qualities that make them unique. Growing up isn’t easy and no one said it was. On top of the typical growing pains you have to deal with acne, parents, friends, fitting in, and finding who you are. There’s a heck of a lot going on at this point of time. I remember those days myself! I was always fortunate enough to have a supportive loving family and close group of friends to get me through the bumps in the road. Not every moment was perfect, but now that I look back at those days I have come to realize that they weren’t as bad as I thought. As a teen every downfall is dramatic and the end of the world. Today I am well in my 20’s and nothing has stopped me yet!


 

Surprising Self-Esteem Statistics

    Doveยฎ research shows that it is still important for us to address girls’ anxiety about looks, as there is a universal increase in beauty pressure and a decrease in girls’ confidence as they grow older. Key findings from our latest research include:

    โ€ข Only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful (up from 2% in 2004)
    โ€ข Only 11% of girls globally are comfortable using the word beautiful to describe themselves
    โ€ข 72% of girls feel tremendous pressure to be beautiful
    โ€ข 80% of women agree that every woman has something about her that is beautiful but do not see their own beauty
    โ€ข More than half (54%) of women globally agree that when it comes to how they look, they are their own worst beauty critic

    Source– Dove Research: The Real Truth About Beauty, Revisited

    I feel it is never too soon to begin talking about self esteem, confidence, and self worth with our daughters. Toodie is approaching four and even at such a young age she loves being encouraged and praised. She thrives off of it and it brings me joy seeing her face light up with a huge smile. Whether she is showing me an artistic painting  or tracing her alphabet, it amazes me how intelligent she is. Each day I make the conscious effort to tell her how special and smart she is. I hope that all of my positive words mold her into a strong independent woman one day.
    Many of us are familiar with the popular Doveยฎ brand and their continuous support for young woman. They are focused on creating top of the line beauty and hair products but also on their commitment to inspire. The Doveยฎ Movement for Self-Esteem encourages girls of all colors, shapes, sizes, and backgrounds to embrace their beauty. Every time you are at the store stocking up on your favorite Dove products, you are contributing to the movement by making a donation. These proceeds go towards inspiring self-esteem programs for young girls everywhere. Dove has already reached more than 9 million girls so far and with all of our help they are determined to reach 15 million by 2015.  
    If you have a little girl, tween, or teen in your life then you may want to consider sparking a conversation sooner than later. Not sure where to begin? Start by downloading The Let’s Talk Toolkit which is a wonderful resource that provides advice from the creator Jess Weiner, Dove Global Self-Esteem Ambassador. Remember to Ask, Share, Listen and Act. This kit will provide you with unintimidating ways to create a natural chat about these topics, making it more comfortable for you and your child. Also, stop by the Dove Facebook page where you will find the Self-Esteem Wall in which you can share your story and commitment to girlsโ€™ self-esteem with your friends or family. This is such an important campaign and it is up to us to keep this momentum going.

    Back To School Boo-Boos With Band-Aid + GIVEAWAY!

    Aug 28

    Every day, kids go out to recess or to physical education classes, where they play games and sports that can result in small cuts or scrapes. Itโ€™s better to be prepared and be able to cure small wounds since itโ€™s impossible to prevent all accidents. Since Toodie started school earlier this year, each week she seems to come home with a new scrape from the playground. I usually do the “I’m A First Time Mommy” freak out, but inside I know that she’s a kid and it’s bound to happen. It’s just part of growing up. I’ve learned to have my mommy kit prepared and packed full of everything I need to take care of the re-occurring boo-boo’s.  The one essential item I always make sure to have on me are Band-Aids. I don’t think I can even count how many boxes of Band-Aids we go through each month. I would like to say that Toodie uses them for scratches and scrapes ONLY, but she enjoys wearing them as fashion accessories as well! Band-Aids are an essential back to school item that all parents should have handy in preparation for minor accidents.
    Band-Aids are well known and dependable. They offer many benefits and protect even the smallest injury from becoming infected. By creating air channels for superior breathability, cuts are kept clean and bacteria free helping them to heal quickly. The Band-Aid Flexible Fabric Quiltvent Bandages are made with a unique Memory Weave fabric that moves with you for extra flexibility, better fit, and greater comfort. This means that even when your children are back to being active, the bandage will not fall off or be affected by play. The full width pad adds extra protection for the wound and makes removal gentle.  These are great is you have a child that loves to play outdoors or is constantly moving. The bandage won’t only move with them but it will give the wound that extra cushion. Toodie is always banging up her knees and the Flexible Fabric Bandages do a nice job of making the area more comfortable.

     

    If you’re short on your Band-Aid supply or would love the extra preparation, you can enter below to win boxes of your own. One winner will receive (4) boxes of Band-Aids to keep the boo boos protected during the new school year!

    Disclosure: I received the product above  for my consideration and to share my honest opinion and experience. I am under no obligation to post a positive review on them. I will not be compensated for this review. As always, opinion are my own!
