Dove Real Beauty Campaign - New Commercial - Camera Shy

Now, you all know I’d give my first born child (if I had one) to work with Dove on their campaign for Real Beauty, right? Their commercials are the epitome of what I try and get across in each of my blog posts when it comes to self-love and self-acceptance. And this new commercial is no exception. Check it out here. I think the one line in the video says it all….

Cindy Crawford Wants Body Acceptance in Three Years

A few weeks ago, I saw this story on Good Morning America about Cindy Crawford not liking her body, even after all these years. I thought to myself “Umm, THE Cindy Crawford? As in the supermodel/supermogul with the perfect body and perfect hair and who hasn’t aged since I was a kid Cindy Crawford?” This sounds crazy, right? I guess it’s easy to think that others have it all together especially when people only show you what they want to show you. But as I also know all too well from living in LA and being in the fashion and beauty industries, every woman, regardless of age, income, weight, ethnicity, etc., has some sort of insecurity about her body. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you and I share some of the same since we have been plagued with the same societal bullshit ideas of beauty. 

Either way, I just wanted to post this because I want you to know you’re not alone; I feel this way and apparently so do supermodels. Don’t fear beautiful girl, you are perfect just as you are. Now all you need to do is start believing it.  Oh, and by the way, the two photos below are of her in the 80's and the other in 2013...tell me if you can really see a difference (because I can't). 

Here’s the link to the story for your own eyes to see:
