Dove – Celebrating Real Beauty !!!

Whenever I go out with my daughters, at least there are two strangers to greet them as "Cute doll" or "Beautiful Princess". Of course, kids are cute. But these compliments are mostly based on their looks. I agree that they cannot be praised for their intelligence or creativity in a 10-second interaction by a total stranger.
But still, why do people make empty praises with mere attention drawn to looks, hair or clothes? How do our kids realize that these are not Real Beauty?

Do we want the silly "Princess Syndrome" to operate unchecked on our young girls? On very basic level, princess stories are transformation tales. Many of them are about the turning of one kind of girl into something very different, which is still a common storyline in our fiction, whether in books, film or television.

Onslaught

A one minute video that details all the beauty and media imaging that young girls are inundated with within a 24-hour period.

Furthermore there is an aggressive marketing and merchandising campaigns of a huge array of beauty products which are creating and feeding an enormous appetite for transformation. Media also breeds cross-merchandising and that's earning a bundle for entertainment companies.


From a historical perspective, the transformation parallel has been there for centuries - but the merchandising associated with conglomeration has amplified its effect; now almost all of our little girls think that they are ugly. They worry too much about their looks maybe be their skin tone, freckles, hair or stature. They yearn for a transformation. They are unable to accept themselves as they are.

It is difficult for young girls to enter a toy store, fashion store or even a bookshop without being assaulted by beauty-related merchandise. Marketing industry canvases them to look slimmer, softer, tighter, younger and what not. As a result their self esteem decreases too much.

So it is now high time for us moms to talk to our dear daughters before the beauty industry does. We need to teach them true beauty lies within and not on the surface.

One of our culture's immediate visual signifiers is :

Beauty equals worthiness, success and popularity.

Ugliness equals worthlessness, failure and wickedness.

So make them understand what true beauty is. Now girls are questioning the world of beauty around them. Mom, now your daughters need you more than ever. Rise to the challenge!

Enter into girl world to learn what your daughter really faces. Things are more intense for a girl today than when you were her age. Your daughter is bombarded with media images that suggest how she should look and feel.

As a responsible mother, I have taken the first step by supporting the Dove Self-Esteem Fund. The Dove Self-Esteem Fund (DSEF) was established to raise the self-esteem of girls and young women to make them feel more beautiful and confident every day. The DSEF is part of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, a global effort designed to widen today's stereotypical view of beauty.

I was honored with the T-shirt and Dove products for taking up the challenge. Now I wear it proudly, as I celebrate my real beauty and help build the self-esteem in the next generation. You should do your part too……Get involved at www.campaignforrealbeauty.com

Play your role good as a concerned mom!!!

Diaper

Diaper backward spells repaid. Think about it.

Yes, I am being repaid now……Repaid now for all those countless diapers I changed ……

Mothering is demanding…… Initially I had no idea that a mom’s world would revolve around what comes out of her new baby's cute, little bottom. Suddenly poop becomes a priority... and a purpose. Moms embark on a stinky journey into the world of baby poop!

I had the privilege to try my kid with new featured LUVs Diaper. The big Jumbo pack of LUVs Diaper was sent to me straight from Los Angeles, US. Just for one wonderful reason that they LUVed my site. They loved the “Mummy of Gals” community. It was a great honor to Motherhood.

“Repaid as Diaper“

I have elaborately reviewed the LUVs Ultra Leak Guard Diapers here. I swear this review is unbiased and is not a mere advertorial. I am full of praise for this product and I have shared it with you fellow moms.

Luvs, a trusted name in baby care provides parents and caregivers with a diaper that offers premium leakage protection far less than the pricey brands

. The most notable point about this Diaper is the Bear Hug Stretch at no extra cost.

I tried it on my younger daughter. She was excited to see the Blues Clues doggy in it. She loved its smell at first shot. It had such a soothing and pleasant scent. What grabbed my attention first was its thinness. Unimaginably thin for a diaper. I am a brand-hopper and I have used literally all brands of diaper for my kids. But I have never ever seen such ultra thin diapers.

My toddler happily ran around in it. The reinforced leg cuffs gave a comfortable fit. The stretchy elastic side fit made the back fit perfect.

A Diaper needs to pass through 3 basic tests:

• Good Comfort
• Wetness Protection
• Proper Fasteners

So LUVs passed the first test of Comfort with distinction. Next we are moving to Wetness Protection.

I used it overnight for my kid. Diaper didn’t seem thick enough to soak up all the wetness that would soon be coming its way. I waited for the results.

Voila!! When my little girl woke up from bed in the morning Luvs Diaper absorbed all the mess. There was not a bit of leakage in the bed sheets. Usually her diaper weighs a ton in the morning with all the night wettings. So I was prepared for the worst but nothing disastrous happened. Diaper has a blue leak guard core inside. Believe it or not, Luvs is presently offering a “Ultra Leak guard Guarantee”, with a promise to refund consumers the cost of one bag of diapers if the leak protection is less than satisfactory

So LUVs passed through the second test with 100 % satisfaction. Next we are moving to the Fasteners.

Two large fasteners kept Luvs diaper sealed to my kid. These tabs are dual in nature, with half of the tab using a sticky adhesive and the other half using Velcro. The Velcro attaches itself to the front side of the diaper and it can be removed and reattached several times without wearing out. It is tight enough so that she cannot open it on her own.

So the Fasteners were also to my appeal very much. The look and the feel of the diaper were itself worth mentioning. It has an overall cloth like softness. The blue quilted back- sheet is full of cuteness. Varied themes of Blues Clues with blue, orange, red and yellow color are kiddies’ heart stealers!!!

I just love this product !!

Try it and you’ll love it too !!!!www.luvs.com
