Real Beauty

I have seen this clip on two of my favorite blogs over the last few days; I think it is important to share with all of you as it had a huge impact on me. No wonder women everywhere have such a warped view of what they should look like. "Real" is the key word here! Nothing is "Real" it seems anymore, what we see in magazines and in photos and other places is just a computerized version of beautiful. Fake people. To quote Holly's post "Why do you think even though we all KNOW what true beauty is... we don't see it in ourselves and sometimes not even in others around us??"

Something to think about. We are all beautiful and it is important not to forget that! http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.ca/film_fullscreen_evo.html

That link is so true, really, no wonder why our image of beauty is distorted. Wow! Oh, and thanks for the advice about the clinique 3 step program. I'll have to try it.
