Hey JAM girls, if you tuned into the Academy Awards on Sunday night you know it was so totally inspiring.  All our favorite stars, writers, and directors there to receive awards for all their amazing work!  Winners or not, everyone in that was there proved that the key to success is simpler than we might think: YOU MUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!

Young girls in Hollywood are just like you. They face the same issues the feeling of insecurity on a daily basis! Even the most self-assured girls can sometimes lose faith in themselves and wonder if they should keep going or give up. Luckily, our favorite teen stars NEVER gave up – because if they did, they wouldn’t be where they are now!

We think that Gabourey Sidibe (Gaby) is a great inspiration to all girls everywhere. (Gaby is the star of Precious which was nominated for SIX academy awards!) The amazing thing about Gabey is that she really shines from the inside out. She may not look like the average Hollywood star but she just radiates beauty and confidence!

Sandra Bullock is another Hollywood star who knows to always believe in herself! Sandra won Best Actress for her role in The Blind Side. In her acceptance speech, she saved time to thank her mother for always reminding her to practice the piano and for telling her not to get into cars with boys until she was 18! We’re thrilled that Sandra took
home an Oscar – her first ever!

We admire Gabey and Sandra’s courage and hope that all of our JAM girls will take note: confidence is beautiful, and self-esteem will get you far!

The Oscars (aka the Academy Awards) aired last night on ABC and all the biggest stars came out looking fabulous, ready to honor their fellow actors. Let’s start at the beginning with the red carpet.  Yes -Sandra Bullock was a winner all the way around.  She looked totally amazing and she won the Academy Award for Best Actress – the highest award in the land (the land of Hollywood and the world of entertainment, of course). She won the presitgious award for her role in the inspiring football film, The Blindside.

For those of you that might have been asleep when Sandra made her acceptance speech – she thanked her mother for always telling her to practice the piano and to not go into cars with boys.  Also, Sandra’s Mom told her not to be like everyone else and to be her own person.  When Sandra was young, like you, and her mother would say those things to her I’m sure she felt the way you would– with the BIG question – WHY?   Please trust that your parents want you to be the best you can be and have really good ideas to help you get there.  There are also thing you can do too to help you best the best you can be. 

Being the best you can be sometimes has to do with positive thinking.  Take a look at SELF ESTEEM peek inside for fun things to do to help tune up for some positive thinking!

Stay Beautiful. Xoxo, Marlene
