Early Monday morning Dove posted a new video depicting real beauty in sketch form. I was so moved by this video that I couldn’t wait to post it for you all to see. It nearly moved me to tears as I got a glimpse for how so many of us are critical of ourselves on a daily basis. Myself included! It’s just the way that society is, but we can change the way we see ourselves if we believe in what people see in us. Self-confidence is beautiful – remember that readers.

A former forensic artist for the San Jose police department met a series of women and asked each to describe the way they look. He had no way of seeing them behind a curtain. He prompted them to detail everything: hair length, facial structure, their most prominent features. He then sketched each participant from their self-description.
