Be your own kind of beautiful with Dove

What really makes a person beautiful?  I believe that it is when a person is comfortable in their own uniqueness.  We are all exposed to society’s definition of “beauty”.  But I’m pretty sure you’ll agree that we are created uniquely beautiful and that’s what we should all celebrate. 

For me beauty equates to many things it can be having a positive outlook, confidence, strength of character, exuding joy, an infectious laugh, dancing even when everybody’s looking, helping others especially at their lowest point and being kind even when others are not.

Beauty for me is also about loving yourself, especially those that makes you uniquely beautiful.   An example is embracing the scars that I got from my surgery.  They remind me that I am a survivor and that God has shown me how beautiful life is through a miracle.  Surviving a life threatening illness gives you a different perspective on life.  You value everything, most especially the littlest of things.  Because after all, it’s the many little things that matter and are often taken for granted.  Today, I call them my battle scars and I wear them proudly.

Dove believes that every woman should celebrate her real beauty.  Recently, Dove sent me a gift that reminded me to "Be your own kind of beautiful".

There were some very well thought of presents inside.  It contained my favorite Dove products:  Dove Deeply Nourishing Body Wash, Dove Hair Therapy Intense Repair Shampoo, Dove Hair Therapy Intense Repair Conditioner, Dove Original Whitening Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Spray, Dove Original Whitening Anti-Perspirant Roll-On and a Dove Beauty Bar.

On the second compartment of the box, there's a personalized drinking bottle, a necklace with the Dove logo on it, a parker pen with my name engraved on it and also a personalized stationery pad.

Thank you Dove for being a champion for real beauty. 

Remember to always be your own kind of beautiful, ladies!
