In just over a week, I'm heading off to Young Women camp. I went three years as a young women and this will be my 12th (and possible final year) as an adult.
Young Women camp is a wonderful experience! Testimonies are developed and strengthened, friendships are deepened, and you can't help feel the love of our Heavenly Father as you enjoy the beautiful world He has created for us.
However, many young women (and their leaders) feel very self-conscious about the lack of blow dryers, curling irons, flat irons, and make-up while they are at camp. It can be liberating not to have to dress up and impress others, but there is also a feeling of vulnerability as you show the world--this is what I REALLY look like.
I love the following video. It was created by the Young Men in the Citrus Heights Stake to help the Young Women remember that it isn't the eye liner, the mascara, and the shiny carefully coiffed hair that makes them beautiful.
If only we received more messages like this in our life.
