Bath & Body Works introducesnew line with American Girl party
Young girls today face tremendous social pressures to look, dress and act a certain way in order to be considered attractive. To help girls see that real beauty comes from taking good care of themselves and feeling strong, confident and happy, Bath & Body Works and American Girl have joined forces to manufacture a collection of high-quality personal care products designed for girls ages 8 to 12.
The Bath & Body Works store in Three Star Mall recently had a party to introduce the product to the young ladies. They were invited to bring their favorite American Girl doll to the celebration and partake in refreshments and punch. A station was set up for the girls to receive a complimentary mini manicure and each had the opportunity to sign up for door prizes.
A steady hum of activity and a distinctive sweet smell permeated the senses even before arriving at the store. Young ladies, many of them with their mothers, were trying their favorite products in a variety of scents, and loving every minute of the experience.
To help girls understand that real beauty is a spirit that comes from liking themselves inside and out, the line incorporates trusted advice from several American Girl books. The line of products have been approved by a panel of more than 1,000 girls and their mothers in a study running 18 months.
Each product is ultra-gentle and has the finest, vitamin-enriched ingredients that are safe, non-irritating and effective. They come in delicious fragrances such as Totally Tropical, Fresh Flowers, Apple Blossom and Strawberries and Cream. Each product is dermatologist tested and come in body care products as well as lip and hair care items.
Real beauty comes from liking yourself, from feeling strong and healthy, and from knowing what’s beautiful in everyone around you. The line was inspired by the book “Real Beauty: 101 Ways to Feel Great about YOU!” and is packed with ideas and activities that helps bring out the best in each girl, and to show that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes!
