Win It! You'd Be So Pretty If...Teaching Our Daughters to Love Their Bodies--Even When We Don't Love Our Own

As a writer for Shape, Dara Chadwick documented her weight loss journey in a regular column for the magazine. She also began to notice how her focus on weight was affecting her then 11-year-old daughter. Chadwick took those observations and turned them into a body image guide that is a must-read for every mom.

You'd Be So Pretty If... includes her personal story along with her helpful tips on how to pass along healthy attitudes to your daughters. We're giving away a copy to one lucky reader! Here's how to enter. You can earn a total of four entries:

To be eligible, leave a comment here and tell us what you did. This contest is open to U.S. residents only. The winner will be announced on June 25th. Good luck!

Win It! Autographed Copy of RED: Teenage Girls Write On What Fires Up Their Lives Today

It irks me to no end when adults speculate about "what's going on with girls today" without ever bothering to ask girls what they think. That's why I'm such a big fan of Red: Teenage Girls Write On What Fires Up Their Lives Today. The book title says a lot about the writers in this collection. These girls are not pastel pink and cutesy--they are real, honest, and bold.

I'm giving away a copy, autographed by two of the writers published in Red. Enter here. The winner will be announced April 20th.
