What I love about Dove is that they represent real women in their advertising – not celebrities, actors or models. They refuse to alter the appearance of women in their campaigns, which promotes “real beauty.”

I’m also a fan of their moisturizing products. I had the opportunity to try Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash – a new line that contains Nutrium Moisture, which includes a hydrating mix of oils and other ingredients.

I usually use bar soap in the shower, as I find many of the body washes out there either have harsh perfumes or don’t lather enough. The Deep Moisture Body Wash has a light fragrance that’s fresh but not overpowering. When applied to the skin it feels like you’re putting on body lotion because the body wash is thick like a moisturizer.

With soybean oil and sunflower oil, the new body wash hydrates the top layer of your skin rather than stripping the oils from it, making your skin feel moisturized. I have pretty dry skin so I have to moisturize right after I come out of the shower regardless of what soap or wash I’m using.

You don’t need to use a lot of product either; the wash lathers nicely – not too much but not too little, just the right amount. It lathers well enough for me to also shave which is a bonus – I don’t usually like to use shaving creams.

My wallet also loves the price; it’s affordable and available at major grocery stores.

There is nothing more wonderful than living the best life that you possibly can.  Despite the hardships and challenges along the way, happiness is achievable – not with a high-paying job or a bunch of expensive things.

It is possible to achieve your own happiness and fulfillment by nourishing the three things that one can control; the body, mind and soul/spirit are inseparable.  You can work on your body but if you don’t have the right mind-set or soul, it’s all gone to waste… and the other way around. Work on all three and you will have found the proverbial key to peace and contentment.

Spirit/Soul: 

Your soul is everything. It’s your past, present and future.  It’s even your afterlife, if you believe.

Do what speaks to your soul.  Feed the soul – whether it is by reading books, meditating, writing poetry or helping others, that deep sense of ‘knowing’ is what the soul represents.  It’s the culmination of everything about you as a person.

With all of the day-to-day challenges you face, the one thing that you have control over is how you respond to everything around you.  If you are calm and peaceful, so will be your perception of the world around you.

If you nourish your soul with good people, things that inspire you, faith, love and kindness, then you will ultimately be fulfilled.

The Mind: 

The power of the mind is unlike the body; you have control over your thoughts.  You may be born with certain characteristics that are innate and uncontrolled – to be an introvert, caring or outgoing.  But willpower, confidence, self-esteem – these are characteristics may be learned and that you have the power to change within you.

Only you can control in your mind how you feel about your body.  Love yourself.  Having high self-worth will allow you to believe, aim high and fulfill all of your goals.  Love yourself first and appreciate your worth.

The day to day stresses can overwhelm the mind.  It’s then when you need to quiet the voices and be still.  When you are able to quiet your mind, you will find a deep awareness of the body.  Your senses will be heightened; your body will be still and your soul will be filled.

 

The Body:

Your body is a sacred vessel and will carry you through the challenges and stresses of daily life.   You need to take care of yourself.  I can’t stress this enough, especially women who always seem to put everyone else’s needs first before their own.

When you exercise and perform any type of physical activity, whether it’s running, yoga, or lifting weights, you will feel alive and little more fulfilled – healthy, strong and powerful.

Devote yourself to nurturing and strengthening this wonderful vessel that carries you throughout the day and helps you function in so many beautiful ways.

Your body is your temple. Respect it, treat it well and take care of it. Drink lots of water, eat clean, fresh organic foods and take care of your skin.  Wash your face and use moisturizer. Use sunscreen.  Discover the beauty of Dove® hydrating nourishment; everyday moisture is at the core of healthy-looking, beautiful skin and hair.  Dove® Body Wash nourishes deep down with moisture.  Let the nourishment start from your skin and your body and work its way through your mind and spirit.
