Three Cheers for a Bar of Soap !

I finally went to the Dove website and viewed all the films and played with the interactive stuff. I am going to buy their products from now on ! They are" right on" the whole point I'm yelling about on my blog :

" WE HAVE TO STOP THE CONSTANT MESSAGE TO OUR GIRLS THAT THEY ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH !!"

Please go to this site and let your girls play with the programs. This will start lots of chat between the two of you and give you a chance to bond over common girl worries and problems and answers --PERFECT ! Here's my favorite video............Make sure you turn off my music player first ( far right and down,down,down)

That little girl is so innocent. I read an article that stated by the age of 12, girls have seen 77,000 commercials from the beauty industry telling them they must improve their appearance. I find it sickening. Don't get me wrong................. Hey, I wear a little makeup, I color my grey hair and I gel my frizzy wild hair but this I feel falls under the category of grooming. I would not want to stop my grooming routine for fear of causing a shock to my friends and hubby. For young girls to believe they have multiple serious flaws and resort to behaviors such as anorexia, bulimia, depression, skipping school, cutting and suicide is just horrific ! Go to the Dove site and use this tool as one way to build your daughters self image.
