I Feel Pretty Giveaway

Disclosure: I received a complimentary box of goodies to give away in exchange for this post. Scroll down for your chance to win them for yourselves.

I can’t tell you how much I LOVED I Feel Pretty. So much so that I felt compelled to do another post about it and give away some fun goodies so you can experience it for yourself. Now that I Feel Pretty is out on DVD/available for download you have no excuse not to host the ultimate girls night in with your friends and tell them that they are all beautiful.

I Feel Pretty has an amazing message. Women have always been told to focus on their flaws. If you eavesdrop on a conversation between friends, at some point you will hear them complain about something that they don’t like about themselves. This is terrible for us, instead of always tearing ourselves down we should be focusing on the things that ARE amazing about each other.

In the movie, Amy Schumer’s character has low self-esteem and thinks she can’t compete with other women to achieve her dreams. Then she hits her head in a Soul Cycle class and all of a sudden sees herself as beautiful . The things that she is able to accomplish with that level of confidence are amazing! She just needed to believe in herself all along. There were so many moments in the movie that I could relate to and I’m sure other women could too.

So to launch my girl’s night in giveaway, I thought I would share a few reasons why I think I am beautiful in the hopes that you will do the same in the comment section.

10 Things That Make Me Beautiful

My smile
My compassion
My eyes
My sense of humor (I will laugh at all of your dumb jokes because I think they’re funny)
The cupid’s bow on my lips
My ability to see things through rose colored glasses
My long fingers
The drive to never give up
My blonde hair
My loyalty to family and friends

I also had fun messing around with the I Feel Pretty photo overlay for your FB profile pic, here. Which is a great girl’s night activity.

I would love to gift you and your friends the ultimate I Feel Pretty girl’s night in package and hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did. The package includes 2 lip balms, 2 compacts, 2 sets of makeup wipes, pop sockets, pins, sign, and 2 wine glasses. The bubbly is not included, but I definitely recommend it.

Join Me at the I Feel Pretty Screening!

Disclosure: I received complimentary passes to the screening in exchange for this post. Scroll down for your chance to win tickets to the screening.

When I saw the preview for this movie I was pumped to see one of my favorites, Busy Phillips, in a supporting role! If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you know that I LOVED her in CougarTown. As soon as I was invited, I texted my friends and booked their calendars for a fun screening. One of my friends loves Amy Schumer, so I knew it would be the perfect girl’s night out.

I Feel Pretty is a hilarious and relatable comedy about an ordinary woman, Renee (Amy Schumer), who struggles with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy about herself both outwardly and inwardly. After suffering a fall, she wakes up believing that her physical appearance has changed to what she believes is the perfect version of herself, but unbeknownst to her, she looks exactly the same. With this new found “beauty,” suddenly she is confident, empowered, and fearless. She marches through life with an altered perception of her physical self and a staunch self-assuredness that leads her to comedic interactions with the other people in her life. On the outside, Renee has not changed at all, but her perception of herself has.

I Feel Pretty is a genuine, heartfelt, emotional comedy that anyone who has ever felt a little unsure and a little un-pretty can relate too. You laugh with Renee, you root for her, and you wonder what will happen when she realizes that her appearance never changed after all. The cast is rounded out superbly with Academy Award® Winner, Michelle Williams, Aidy Bryant, Busy Phillips, Naomi Campbell, and Emily Ratajkowski.
