The people over are YouAreBeautiful are doing their part to make the world a better place by spreading the message "You are beautiful!" I love their premise and they distribute stickers with that message on them for FREE! Click on the stickers link on the left hand side at this website. You can also see pictures of all the places that they have reminders currently. They're breathtaking. The letters in this picture are 8' x 8'!
Even though it's kind of long, i thought it was important to share their mission statement:
"You Are Beautiful is a simple, powerful statement which is incorporated into the over absorption of mass media and lifestyles that are wrapped in consumer culture.
The intention behind this project is to reach beyond ourselves as individuals to make a difference by creating moments of positive self realization. We're just attempting to make the world a little better.
Intention is the most important aspect of the You Are Beautiful project in its idea of purity. Nothing is sacred. Everything that has a perceived value becomes commodified. We work extremely hard that this message is received as a simple act of kindness, and nothing more.
Advertising elicits a response to buy, where this project elicits a response to do something. The attempt with You Are Beautiful is to create activism instead of consumerism.
You Are Beautiful uses the medium of advertising and commercialization to spread a positive message.
Projects like these make a difference in the world by catching us in the midst of daily life and creating moments of positive self realization."
To me, that sounds a lot like what I stand for too. I'm going to jump on the band wagon and make my own stickers to put in with my Etsy orders. How do you make the world more beautiful?
Peace.
