The Dove Self-Esteem Fund Giveaway Extended

This chick has been fighting some bug for the last week, so I have been putting the blog on the back burner while I recuperate. For that reason I am going to extend my latest giveaway to January 21st.

The Dove Self-Esteem Fund and Giveaway

"7 in 10 girls believe they are not good enough"

Self-esteem is a major topic in young girls and in all women. When self-esteem is low it can be dangerous and deadly.

When I had the chance to post about The Dove Self-Esteem Fund I jumped on it. This is something I HAVE to be a part of in some way. To me it is my way of making sure at least one person doesn't have to live the life I did when I was a teenager. I was bullied, I was made to feel less than what I was because I wasn't what society deemed as pretty. This is what I thought. I turned to some of the dangerous behaviors that we don't want women to resort to because of low self- esteem.

Dove cares as well and has started The Dove Self-Esteem Fund. It was developed because, "too many young girls and young women develop low self esteem from hang-ups about looks and consequently fail to reach their full potential in later life. The DSEF is committed to help girls build positive self-esteem and a healthy body image, with a goal of reaching 5 million girls globally by 2010."

To get more facts read the National Report here as well as head to The Dove Self Esteem Fund to learn about this great cause!

I may be one who suffered from low-self esteem, but I am also a mother of 2 girls. My oldest is at an age where her self-esteem can either be shot down or picked up. I of course want it as high as it can be. Let's make sure to get rid of the pre-conceived notions of what society thinks as beautiful and let's not only teach our daughters but ourselves to love our bodies. We may come in different shapes and sizes, but we are definitely all beautiful.

This gift includes:

2 "True You" workbooks

A plush terrycloth spa robe

2 Dove products

Mrs. Smith's Bags Giveaway!

ACU's, Stilleto Shoes, and Pretty Pink Tutus is hosting an awesome blog carnival. I posted about the second giveaway and can't believe I missed Monday's. This is SO what I need right now. I crave organization since I know I suffer from momnesia (another post for another time). Want to know why I am in love with this bag? THE DRAWER! My highly organized mom would love this part! If brown is not your color head over to Mrs. Smith's Bags and check out the many different styles. In order to win this bag all you have to do is head over to ACU's, Stilleto Shoes, and Pretty Pink Tutu's and tell her what color you like as well as your email. There are of course other ways to make you chances greater (like blogging about this giveaway). I know you are all wanting this awesome bag, but I hope I am the big winner!

Sleep Wrap Giveaway

ACU's, Stilleto Shoes, Pretty Pink Tutu's is hosting her first blog carnival from November 16th to December 16th. Today's giveaway is a Sleepy Wrap. What I like about this is that it can hold up to 45 pounds. Chick 3 is just now topping in at 20 pounds, so this would still last a while for me.

All you have to do in order to have a chance to win is leave a comment about what color you prefer and leave your email address. As you can see by the picture I chose black. Maybe it will be slimming as this color is supposed to be. Of course there are many, many more chances to win (like blogging about the giveaway). So head over to this giveaway and try your luck on this nifty Sleepy Wrap!
