Dove’s “Let’s Make Girls Unstoppable” Initiative
A few weeks back I attended the Mom 2.0 Summit at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Laguna Niguel. The setting was amazing with the ocean views and salt-watered breeze, but what impressed me the most about the event was the Dove’s “Let’s Make Girls Unstoppable” campaign. You might have seen the Dove commercials showcasing women of all sizes to stress the importance of women accepting themselves as they are. Well, their Dove Self-Esteem Project aims to start teaching this important message to our young girls and will focus on self-esteem programming with the support of Lisa Ling and Jess Weiner.

Fashion :: Your Own Online Shopper at ShoeDazzle
Prior to having my daughter I would say shopping was a hobby of mine. I found it to be relaxing and I enjoyed checking out the new styles for the seasons. One of my favorite things was to try to find bargains at Loehmans or Marshalls as I liked the hunt. It felt a bit like treasure hunting to me! Fast forward to present day, and it is sad but true, that I don’t have the time – or make the time – to shop much except for basics. But recently, I have felt it was time to put some effort into my day-to-day wardrobe and accessories. We all know how…
