Your Videos!!

Hi guys,

Share with us what Beauty means to you in your own words. You just need a webcam or camcorder to record your humorous thoughts or your hopefully not too shallow reflections (ahem……) All you need to do is email me you video clips and I’ll upload it for you candice@DMBblogs.co.uk

I have created a You Tube “Beauty Is” page and I will be uploading all the videos to it for everyone to see and hopefully spark a bit of debate http://www.youtube.com/user/DBMBeautyIs
If you have your own YouTube account and would prefer to add your video to your account instead, then please just email me your page URL :-)

I will be picking some videos at random and adding them onto this blog in the video section.

Good luck and I’m looking forward to seeing your videos!!

Cheers,
Candice

P.S. We know you all have beautiful body parts but some of them are best kept for your loved ones…… Please keep all videos clean or we wont be able to share them.

What Beauty Means To You

Hi guys,

You can post your comments and thoughts under this post.

As I mentioned the other day, we are keen to hear what you think beauty really is? Sometimes Beauty appears on the surface, sometimes it radiates from within.

Share with us what Beauty means to you in your own words…..

Kind Regards,
Candice

Welcome

Hi,

Thanks for being a part of our projects at DBMblogs.

We all have our own opinion of what Beauty is and maybe it’s in the ‘Eye of the Beholder’ or is it about giving pleasure to the senses? Maybe it’s a stunning view of the Lake District; a baby or it may even be a paper bag blowing in the wind (think ‘American Beauty’!). Could it be your girlfriend, wife, husband, or lover? The smell of cut grass or the taste of home baked cookies? What about your battered old car that has never let you down?

At the moment, we are running a blog that will be talking about beauty and we want to see, hear, read what you think beauty really is. Please let us know by posting a few words and comments on our blog.

To share with us what Beauty means to you in your own words, you just need a webcam or camcorder to record your humorous thoughts or your hopefully not too shallow reflections (ahem). Simply email me video clips of your own personal view on the subject and I’ll upload it for you. If you don’t have a camcorder or webcam then you can always send us some pictures of what beauty means and we’ll upload some of those too.

I have created a You Tube “Beauty Is” account and over the next few days, I will be uploading your videos to it and hopefully spark a bit of debate - http://www.youtube.com/user/DBMBeautyIs. If you have your own YouTube account and would prefer to add your video to your own account instead, then please email me your page URL and we’ll pick some at random and adding them to our blog. You can see more info by visiting the video section of our blog at http://beautyis.dbmblogs.co.uk/?cat=5.

We’ve also put a link on our blog to some video podcasts courtesy of Nivea. At the moment we have Jemma Kidd’s make up tips and we’ll be adding others over the next few weeks. If you have time, let us know what you think of them.

We’ll be setting up a forum in the next week or so for some proper debate on beauty and all your feedback will help us to create starter topics for conversation - your opinions really do count! So, whether it’s Lilly Cole on the catwalk or your best friend’s knees - it’s all about what beauty means to YOU.

Finally, we’re going to be giving away some Nivea Body Sunkissed skin products to thank people who become involved with the debate.

So, put your thinking caps on and I’m looking forward to seeing your videos and pictures!

Cheers,

Candice
