Venus Campaign - Use your AND



How often have you felt labeled? It is quite easy for us to define someone as "Pretty" or "Smart" but these labels are so one dimensional.

Venus have a new campaign which they have called their #useyourAND campaign.

You may have seen some of this around the internet. Louise at Sprinkle of Glitter made a video around it this week. If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen that used this campaign as part of the work we had been doing with our Girl Guides called Free Being Me.

The idea of this campaign is as the name suggests to Use Your AND...  - here is the video Venus produced which sums the campaign up perfectly.


This is a campaign I really want to see get a lot of backing and I am so glad that Louise has made a video about it and hope that it gets on the radar of others too! How many time has someone said to you "you are pretty" or "you are smart".. when someone says something like this to you as the video says.. Take a stand! USE YOUR AND!!! 

Yes I am a blogger AND I am work full time as a manager AND I am a guide leader AND I am creative AND I am Christian AND I sing in the church choir ... there are SO many ands you can add to a sentence!

I challenge you when someone says something to you... think about it and add an AND to the sentence!
