No Make-Up Monday

National Eating Disorders Week is February 24th – March 2nd.  The Renfrew Center Foundation is asking all women and girls to forego make-up on Monday, February 25th.  The purpose is to raise awareness and promote a dialogue about healthy body image and inner beauty.  20% of girls ages 8 – 18 apparently associate unattractiveness with wearing no make – up.  This is a great way to get schools, girls groups, academic organizations and athletic teams to talk and raise awareness of the dangers of eating disorders and emphasize what’s important.  That self-esteem and confidence for a girl should never be linked with outward appearance.  Spread the word.
