Find out about the @COVERGIRL #GirlsCan Campaign & $25 Walmart GC #Giveaway

As a woman and mom of three girls, I know how important it is for girls to follow their dreams and  turn any can’t into a can!

Sharing positive moments and capturing positive moments with my family is one way I promote #GirlsCan thinking.  I make a big deal when my oldest shares that she got a 100 on her math test.  Girls Can!

I celebrate my 8 year old when she has spelled the continents and oceans correctly.  Girls Can!

I hug my 4 year old when she recently became inspired to start writing her name all by herself.  Girls Can!

As a mom, I think I need to remember that I can too!  Whether you’re tackling an obstacle the day has thrown your way or you’re gearing up for a girls’ night out on the town, COVERGIRL can help keep you feeling empowered and beautiful.

  1. As a father to a wonderful girl, I love this campaign and that my daughter can be whatever she wants.

  2. I love any message that promotes female empowerment, so I support the campaign and hope that girls take it to realize that their strength and power comes from within!

  6. After spending most of the last 25 years teaching in all-girl schools, we constantly promote #GirlsCan. I have taught some amazing young ladies who truly can do anything.

  8. This sounds like a wonderful campaign! It’s so nice to hear of a program like this that helps deserving women get out in the work force. What a life changer!

  10. I encourage my girls as well and one thing I am proud of is sticking with their faith although sometimes it can be a challenge at school. They no longer are afraid to say what they feel when it comes to their faith

  14. I entered this giveaway–https://raisingthreesavvyladies.com/2014/11/enter-to-win-a-100-amazon-gift-code-giveaway-4/

  15. What a great campaign to help girls and woman to be more positive and feel better about themselves.

  16. I love the positivity of the #GirlsCan campaign. It’s time we celebrate all the things that girls – and women – can do!

  19. I love how Covergirl gives back by donating to dress for success this month, sometimes we all could use a hand up. I also love that they support empowering women.

  20. #GirlsCan Is a great message. My daughter was the first girl in her school to join the wrestling team.

  21. I always support helping disadvantaged make it further in the business world. The world is better if everyone succeeds.

  23. I like the idea of #GirlsCan. I heard my daughter, who is five, say once that she wanted to be the Daddy. When asked why, she replied “they have the cool jobs.” Yikes! Girls need reminders that they too can have “cool” jobs and all girls need encouragement and help with self esteem.

  26. I think the Girls Can campaign is such a good idea that Cover Girl is promoting because it gives girls confidence to feel successful in all the accomplishments that they do!

  33. I think it’s great that they have this #GirlsCan campaign to remind everyone to encourage girls in doing anything they want.

  35. I think its wonderful, I really think this is a hugely positive campaign and I love reading all of the responses.

  36. This is a great campaign. Young girls these days need as much encourgement as possible and go for their dreams. It’s tough being a teen and setting goals for yourself is a great step to helping boost their self- esteem.

  42. Oh what a wonderful #GirlsCan campaign is! I love what Covergirl is doing to help empower women! It makes you want to shop Covergirl all the more! Great company!

  43. Love the #GirlsCan campaign and CoverGirl’s support. I always try to encourage my niece that she can do anything she wants to do.

  44. My sisters and I are really good about encouraging each other and being sportive of our choices. We are lucky to have each other

  45. I have always loved cover girl and it makes me like them even more when I see they are doing something for others… especially helping women!

  47. Sounds like a wonderful campaign! I always have more confidence when I look my best.

  50. I like the power behind this message.
    It has to do cognitive thinking – how you think about things so affects how you feel, who you are.
    thank you

  51. This is such a wonderful giveaway, I don’t wear much makeup, but I sure would try this mascara

  52. Love this! It’s so important to empower young girls and women and teach them that they really can do anything they set their minds to.

  53. I am a women and a mother #GirlsCan is a great concept , Sometimes I don’t feel my best but when I make myself up I feel a whole lot better.

  54. I love the GirlsCan compaign. I have two little girls. I’m always telling them don’t say can’t. You can if you really want to. You have to try. Always positive reinforcement. (Even with my son too.)

  55. I think it is an awesome campaign! Girls need to spend so much more time encouraging each other instead of tearing each other down!

  57. I like how the #GirlsCan focuses on the positive when so many cosmetics campaigns focus on the negative.

  59. I have worn Covergirl products for years and have always been pleased. Covergirl is soooo affordable and great quality. I can always count on CoverGirl!

  61. Great campaign especially since woman still are not considered equal with men. Start early! Love it!

  65. I personally think girls can do anything but I rather my woman be able to stay home and raise our kids while I support her.

  68. This applies to me. I was tired of waiting weeks or months for my husband to fix things around the house, so I started taking things into my own hands. Since then I’ve taught myself how to repair the disposal, change the drive belt on my washer and repair my overheating laptop. Girls Can!

  69. This is a wonderful campaign.To have a professional look, gives so much confidence. It can make all the difference. This really would turn can’t into can.

  70. I love that Covergirl is doing this GirlsCan compaign! Females should be proud at how far we have come!

    Thank you for the chance to win this.

  78. I love this campaign that Covergirl is having as it is so important to empower ourselves & all the girls/women in our lives! I’m thankful for this campaign because it’s a reminder to me to remember to empower my teenage daughter & remind her that she can do ANYTHING that she sets her mind to!

  80. I think it’s a wonderful campaign that encourages girls to be all they can. I always try to let my daughters know how proud I am when they accomplish something they didn’t think they could.
    Thank you!

  83. I think it’s a great campaign anything that can be done to strengthen girls esteem is positive

  85. Great job for you, Mom. Way to motivate and push your daughter! I used to feel great when I would exceed in school. I have always really liked that particular mascara.I felt the greatest source of empowerment last month when I ran and did an awesome job running my first 5k. I have never been a runner, couldn’t even run a mile. I trained myself and completed it and it was such an awesome feeling! This is definitely an awesome movement for Covergirl! #GirlsCan xo

  86. I used to love being told job well done in school. What an awesome feeling! I felt the greatest source of empowerment last month when I ran and did an awesome job running my first 5k.

  93. I think the #GirlsCan campaign is a great idea. Love that is shows girls that they can be just as powerful as boys.

  97. What a great campaign! Definitely a great thing to teach other women and young girls that they are capable of anything

  105. I love this campaign. I have two girls, and I have always taught them that “can’t” is not in our vocabulary.

  106. I like any campaigns that help to empower girls, I think sadly they are necessary. I wish more young women were aware of their self worth.

  107. I love how they promote girls CAN… a lot of women need to realiz they can and not let anything stand in their way!

  108. I think this campaign is awesome because the message is so positive and encouraging for women 🙂

  116. My girlscan moment was going to the hardware store, changing the locks, and getting a divorce, life is better than ever now!

  119. Commented on this post: raisingthreesavvyladies.com/2014/11/holiday-recipes-cooking-tips-from-marcus-samuelsson/#comment-124244

  121. I love this campaign! It is something that is definitely needed in this world for women to stand up and feel encouraged!

  122. I think it’s wonderful the campaign promotes the empowerment of women by encouraging them to break down barriers and turn “can’t” into “can”. #GirlsCan

  123. I like that Covergirl supports empowering women to achieve more than just an outdoor appearance.

  126. One thing I love about the #GirlsCan campaign is that they have a lot of inpirational and powerful women showing that they overcame the “girls can’t” mentality. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!

  127. I love the message that this campaign is sending. Self confidence and empowerment is important for all womens.

  128. I love the #GirlsCan! In a world where girls are often told they cannot do things or they aren’t good enough this campaign is wonderful! It gives the next generation of girls hope that they CAN do wonderful things!

  129. The girlscan program is a great program – girls should learn at a young age that they can do anything they put their minds to

  133. #GirlsCan do just about anything! They can be doctors, lawyers, chefs, bankers or bakers … Go into space, raise a family, write books – yeahh!! Traditional or not, it’s all good. 😀

  134. It sounds like a great campaign. It’s important for girls to feel empowered and important.

  139. I think its great that companies are starting to realize that girls, women are empower each other and we have to stick together

  140. Women need to be empowered since men still don’t “get it” that we can do anything! I ran into this at work the other day, going over my head to a man. Thanks Covergirl for your positive campaign.

  141. I have worked for non profits for 30 years off and on and one of the awards I won was the self empowerment award for encouraging women to be better mothers to their children especially the girls. My daughter watched me struggle to raise them, even though married, while being disabled since I was 30. She lost both sets of grandparents and her father by the age of 17. Today at 29 she is a smart, remarkable woman wife and mother. She is an MA at U OF MI Women’s Hospital and receives accolades from patients daily for being kind and caring. She also interprets. Be a good mother, raise an amazing daughter.

  150. I think this is great to help women feel good about them selves and have the power to say I can. Thank you for the giveaway.

  152. I think it is important to teach young girls that they can do things, and be self reliant! Also encourage young women to look at careers in the sciences and mathematics areas!

  156. I think the #GirlsCan campaign is wonderful, I have a young daughter and I try to encourage her in everything she does.

  160. It is my opinion that society as a whole likes to hold woman back and make us feel inferior. We can do anything we put are minds to and this campaign is a reminder of that.

  165. I totally support the girlcan campaign; all girls can do anything and everything; you just have to believe in yourself
