Stop Being So Hard on Yourself
Are you one of a million people who are walking around being really hard on yourself? Ever catch yourself saying negative things to yourself while ignoring the positive? If so, read on...
Ilissa
Everywhere we turn, there are images of gorgeous women, constant reproaches to the reality of us, with our real bodies and un-Photoshopped flaws. We're not buying it anymore. We're tackling the critics—from the parents and teachers who favor the prettiest children to look-ist employers to the most hurtful of all, that nasty, catty girl who lives right behind our eyes.
Not long ago, I sat in my office, chatting with a friend. "I want to talk to you about your face," I said. "Oh my God," she said, looking stricken. "Do I need a facelift?" (I forget that people think I have a right to be openly critical of their appearance because I'm a beauty editor.) No, no, I said; I only wanted to know what she saw when she looked in the mirror.

Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty
Dove's campaign for real beauty has promoted a better body image for women. They are doing a great job of dispelling the notion of one kind of beauty. Why does society put so much importance on looks anyway?
Ilissa
In 2004, Dove launched the very successful Campaign for Real Beauty which features real women, not models, advertising Dove's firming cream. The advertisements focus on promoting real, natural beauty, in an effort to offset the unrealistically thin and unhealthy archetypal images associated with modelling. The sentiment is articulated quite strongly through their slogan "real women have curves" as well as the campaign's Web site, http://www.dove.us/#/cfrb/, which features quotes from each of the Campaign for Real Beauty models. The women share their perspectives on what real beauty is and why they wanted to be involved in the campaign. Read More>>>

History Of Bulimia And How It Evolved Into a New Problem
I thought this article on the history of bulimia was fascinating.
Enjoy!
Ilissa
The History of bulimia is old. Even in ancient Rome people used to vomit up food they ate in the period of feasting. They even had special places for it called "vomitorium". There is a lot of recollection about these events in ancient Rome books. Roman emperors Claudius and Vitellius were bulimic. Some other cultures like ancient Egyptian purged themselves every month for three days in succession, using emetics and clysters to preserve health. They thought that human diseases came from food. In Europe in the Middle Ages purgation was used like a remedy for many diseases and was advocated by middle age physicians. In ancient Greece and Arabia there were also descriptions in texts of binging and purging. But all these ancient practices of binging and purging are similar but not the same as what we call "bulimia" now. Read More>>>
