Monday Notes – November 23, 2009

by admin on November 23, 2009

Operation Beautiful is experiencing some technical difficulties today, so here’s one AMAZING note to hold you over until tomorrow, when regular posting will resume!

 

Emily wrote, “Yesterday my friend (Kailey) and I woke up early to get to school at 6 AM to cover the two mirrors in the main bathroom on campus with notes that said "You are beautiful!" and a larger note that said “Take One!”  By the end of the day, all the post its were gone and there was no sign that they had ever been there. By the end of zero period, just around half of the post its were gone, just as I had hoped, only faster than I had expected! I continually went into the bathroom to check on the status of the mirrors, and every time I went in there was a crowd of girls surrounding the mirrors trying to read and pick out their favorite note. One of my other friends said she saw one girl just glance at the mirror and had a huge grin on her face. Every time I walked out of the bathroom, I had one on mine :) I was so happy of the outcome of my attack, that I’m planning a bigger one that will have post its surrounding the every mirror in the school, and covering the wall in the main one. Think I can do it? I even had GUYS coming up to me after they had heard about it from me or from other girls and asking why we didn’t do it in the BOYS bathroom!!”

I’ve been following this site for a few weeks and this is hands down the most inovative response I’ve seen hands down. What a beautiful take on the operationbeautiful post-its. Makes me want to try my own wall of post-its.

I just found out about this website and this is my first visit. I can imagine how just seeing an anonymous PostIt note saying that you’re beautiful can make your day. I’ll going to try doing something like this!!! :)
