You can’t believe everything you see or hear.  You probably already know this. The same rule applies to what you see in music videos, television and billboards about what is beautiful. A few years ago, Ogilvy, a big advertising agency, and Dove created this “Real Beauty” commercial.  It’s not new, but it’s worth watching how “beauty” is manufactured.  Then see “Operation Beautiful” sticky note revolution below!

Learn to question what you are seeing or hearing about how you should look. Pay attention the next time a commercial comes on the television or movie screen.  What do you think they are trying to tell you?  What are they selling? Then you can play a little game. Ask yourself - is this really true or false?  Does that food make you thinner?  Does that shampoo make you more popular - really?
