Body Image + Health

Dove Self-Esteem Fund

Have you seen the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty commercials where an already lovely model is transformed and Photoshop-ped into a polished poster girl? The Dove film, dubbed Evolution, ends with the tagline: "No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted." But it doesn't have to be. And Dove itself has developed fabulous workshops for girls, young women and parents that anyone can download, lead or just work through on your own time. Being that it's Love Your Body Day, take a break and get the goods here:

Respect Rx workshops and programs

Dove Self-Esteem Fund Workshops: Body Talk, true you workbook, uniquely ME! (great for younger girls) and body image exercises.

And check out more body-respect building tips and activities here.

Your body + mind + soul = YOU.
So love the one you're with, girls.
