Unscripted Beauty / AVEENO Giveaway

“I participated in a Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for AVEENO. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.”

While we spend our days mapping out our futures or posing for the perfect shot, it’s the raw, beautiful, “unscripted” moments that become those we cherish most. As much as we love posting picture-perfect photos, we build the most authentic relationships by sharing those sincere life moments. I may be guilty of loving to make those sincere life moments pretty {you know how obsessed I am with Instagram & it’s filters!} but it really is the moments you can’t plan for that mean the most! My husband is always remind me of this as I agonize over getting that “perfect” shot to share with family and friends – but he always snaps tons of photos and I end up loving the crazy moments that show more of our real life, especially the ones that show my little man’s personality!

But here’s a little taste as to what #UnscriptedBeauty is to me:

A moment that is authentic or natural 

a moment that is unexpected {like these beautiful flowers on my morning walk!}

something positive – and what’s more positive than freshly picked fruits and veggies?

Showing confidence – aka my little man on the basketball court

a moment that is family-oriented {but that’s sort of cheating because all of my photos focus on my little guy!} 

showing the fun – which is easy for my little man to do!

And a little moment that is light-hearted – which is all moments with a one year old!

An AVEENO survey found most parents say that “unscripted” moments are more beautiful than those that are perfectly planned, and I’d have to 100% agree. As much time as I spend trying to get the perfect picture of my little man, the silly ones where he is letting his little personality shine through are always the best.  Those are the ones that end up framed! At the end of the day, it’s sharing candid, unscripted moments matter most. 

AVEENO is flipping-the-script by creating an #UnscriptedBeauty Movement, encouraging parents to embrace the natural beauty of a life that doesn’t always go as planned and they are having a #UnscriptedBeauty Contest to go along with it! Here’s how it works:

• Capture photos of the authentic Unscripted Beauty in your life throughout June.
• Post your photos on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook using #AVEENO, #UnscriptedBeauty, and #Contest.
• For Facebook posts, tag @Aveeno.
• Keep celebrating life’s Unscripted Beauty!

One winner will be selected in July to receive a photo-shoot from acclaimed photographer, Danielle Guenther, as well as AVEENO products! Sounds pretty awesome right?!
