I love receiving gifts.
I love receiving gifts especially when they are pretty, personalized and come in big boxes like this.
Dove sent this gift in celebration of a woman’s real unique beauty.
I have always believed that each one of us is beautiful in our own way. Whether you have fair or dark skin, whether you are tall or petite like me, whether you are too fat or too thin, whether you are kulot or have straight hair, whether you have chinky eyes or almond shaped eyes, we are all different and we are beautiful.
Tandaan niyo yan.
You are as beautiful as you think you are.
Remember that.
Never undervalue yourself. Never compare yourselves with others. There are so many judgmental people out there so please do not let what they think of you affect who you are. You do not need other people to acknowledge that you are beautiful. Why would you consider their opinion of you? Who gave them the right to judge of beauty? Nasa Miss Universe competition ba tayo?! Have confidence in yourself. That is a very big deal. If you have confidence inside you, it will radiate from within. Yun ang beautiful. Yun ang sexy.
Believe me.
Believe me because I know technically, hindi ako kagandahan. I’m not fair skinned, tall, thin and kung ano ano pang description society told us what being beautiful should be. But I know I’m not ugly. I know that I’m smart, funny and witty. I know that I have a great smile so I use it often. I know I’m a great storyteller and a conversationalist. I bank in all those things. I believe I am beautiful in my own way and I don’t care what anybody think.
Ganyan ka din dapat, ateng.
Back to my gift from Dove.
This is what was inside.
I have been using Dove for a long time now. I love how gentle their soap is. I love how mabango and rich their body wash is. And yung hair ko, sa Dove siya hiyang.
There was another compartment in the bottom.
It had a personalized water bottle, stationery, pen and a Dove necklace to remind me that we are all uniquely beautiful.
Thank you Dove for sending all these things!
Thank you for reminding all of us to celebrate our own kind of beautiful =)
