I found one today in the bathroom, and well here i am!!! it reads ”
I’ve never seen a smiliing face that wasent Beatiful SMILE! because you ARE BEAUTIFUL” that made my day and im writing a ton monday
I walked into 4th period today and found a pink sticky note right on my desk and was suprised. It made my day so much better, and couldn’t wait to go to the website at the bottom to see what it was about. I bought a new pad of sticky notes and can’t to get start on making other peoples day at my school and any where else from now on!
i’m a homeschooler and i myself do not have an eating disorder, but i know a lot of girls who do i went to a public school last year and there was the same comment every time i went into a bathroom… “i am so fat!!!!!” every time i would hear that i would just get like totally depressed, but this idea is totally amazing and i think i may get my youth group girls to try and think about doing something like it at my school even if only 2 of them do it i will try my best to show God’s love to all! thanks for the wonderful idea, jeremiah 29:11
I am totally trying this! This is awesome! The Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, grace be with you! 2 Timothy 4:22
I see these notes alot in the bathroom at school, I went to the website and now i am spreading postits everywhere.
I found this when I was at a wedding of one of my mom’s friends. Naturally people were supposed to dress formally, so I was wearing a dress and like all teenagers, I was feeling really self conscious. Then when I went into the bathroom, right on the mirror was a sticky note that said ‘See that girl looking back at you in this mirror? Then you don’t need me to tell you how beautiful you are!’
this really made my day, and now I post them at any chance I get. Thank you operation beautiful! ^o^

This is such an awesome idea! I know that a lot of girls at my school are really self-concious about their weight/looks, and you can bet that my school will have plenty of post-its on Monday!
Today, me and my friend went around sticking index cards onto people windows, and handing out cards that said you’re beautiful.
The look on the peoples faces was so amazing. I felt so great.
I love the mission. I have never seen one of these sticky notes in my school or anywhere until my sister put some around wal-mart. I’m going to put some around my school. I hope nobody takes them down.
– Beauty isn’t only skin deep. It’s through out your entire body.
I put some up today in the girl’s bathroom and I even got some of my friends to put some up to and later I found them in the garbage!!!!!!!
the song dont you know your beautiful by kellie pickler is a great song for this
I really love what operation beautiful is doing God bless you all!!!
My friend told me about this website, and how she’s been putting these notes around our middle school (in bathrooms, on girl’s locker, etc.) so we went on a bikeride around the neighboorhood and spread out some notes (all with http://www.operationbeautiful.com of course). We even handed some to women and girls we saw jogging or running, and nothing can compare to that amazing feeling you get when you do something like that. This website is… beautiful, but I guess that’s the point.
I Saw One Of These Sticky Notes In The Bathroom At My High School
I Thought It Was The Cutest Thing ! , I Started Seeing Them All Around The School ! I Love It & I Want To Start Doing It Myself !
i found one when i was walking
remember you are beautiful and u dont need a man to tell u that! :0
I was so inspired by this when I heard about it at a church retreat I went to! I am currently posting notes all over school. Caitlin, you’re awesome! Keep it up!
why do christians have to ALWAYS confuse being HUMAN and LOVING each other with xtianity. can’t you just LOVE and NOT have to proselytize your beliefs?
i love this site. i love the idea of it. i have a BIG project in the works for my entire town. i will keep you updated. (note: i do this as a human. not as a man or woman. not as a this belief or that, just a human being loving to other humans.)
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE YOU.
I don’t see why women should have to do this men should tell women every chance they get how trulybeautiful they all are.
@ a guy: Rock on! Women will love you for this! You just made me feel beautiful!
Ditto!!! @ Lilly!!!!! =D
true but women need to feel beautiful by them selfs.. i was so dependent on having a guy tell me how pretty i was and junk and really it only made my self liking go down… women need to stand on their own two feet. ( not excluding men here) we are born alone (for the most part) sometimes we need to stand alone. lets say you have cancer… people will be there with you correct? but will they be living with the cancer like you do? no… see this is what i mean. everyone is beautiful some people are lucky and they get outer beauty, but some people are even more lucky and they get inner beauty…some people just dont see them selfs the way they should…it takes alot for a person to admit they are BEAUTIFUL they dont want to be considered CONCEDED (sry if i spelled that wrong) just keep your heads up ladies ( and men)
I found some stickies in my school’s bathroom, and I’m here! I think this is a wonderful idea, and what you are doing is amazing. I’m gonna start too!!!
This gives me a lot of encouragement. I’m am so thankful for Operation Beautiful
I found one in the bathroom today and it read “smile because your beautiful, and remember beauty is in the heart <3!" This made my day
Some girls at my school started anonymously posting sticky notes all over every mirror and in every bathroom and on peoples lockers, desks, and classroom doors. They put new ones up all the time! I have been greatly struggling with having a positive attitude about myself and my life a lot lately. And to be honest, I despised myself. But seeing those post-its and being built up by my great support system, I am finally starting to gain back my old confidence and feel beautiful again. It is truly amazing that just one small note from a stranger can make you see everything from an entirely different perspective and pick you up at your lowest of points. I plan to do my part now and pass it forward. I cannot wait to get my hands on some sticky notes! Watch out world, here I come! Get ready to feel beautiful! <3
I saw a note in a public bathroom once that read “Smile, your beautiful” I looked up the website and ive been so inspired!! I’m 14 and I go to a school where image is EVERYTHING!! I too have problems with accepting my appearance but operation beautiful has helped me sooo much!! I’ve started leaving notes almost everywhere I go. It’s nice to know I can make a difference in the way women look at themselves. I know I may seem young but that’s where the issue of looking “hot” strikes the most! I understand completely! I want to prove to everyone that you are beautiful just the way you are! I want to show the world that you don’t need to change to be beautiful! You just need to be yourself! YOU ARE ALL BEATIFUL!! God bless you and thank you!
I found one while shopping at a store in Fairbanks, Alaska. I wanted to cry. I thought it was beautiful that there are people here who would take the time to write a cute message like that and post it. I wish with all my heart that I could love myself, however I made the choice to get cosmetic surgery and the doctor made me look worse. I am going in in less than two weeks to get a revision surgery…if only I thought I was beautiful before….However I have severe body issues so who knows if I’ll ever get over this. But whatever, the point is, if you can love yourself and feel beautiful, then that is what is most perfect.
I saw these at school today because something bad happened at my school with this girl. I didn’t know what they were about and then I went on this website and i love the idea. And its not only girls who lack confidence, its guys too. We should make everyone feel BEAUTIFUL <3
I saw a posted note in the girls bathroom and it said Operation Beautiful.com and it made my day cause I thought I was alone and I was having a really bad morning and it said Your Beautiful just the way you.<3
I saw a post it in a bathroom stall at school the other day <3 I think im going to put some post its up 2
my friend told me about this, and i decided my best friend and i are going to spread theses throughout our school ? i know what it feels like to hurt, and so does she . it’s time to help .
thank you operation beautiful for giving me a way to spread the word ?
I wrote six today
i just started i havent posted any yet but i WILL trust me i will…
I just found a sticky note at my College today and look at me im on the website. i just wanted to say thank you for who ever wrote it and placed it to my view.it really made my day and a change in my life.
Just walked into the bathroom this morning to find “You’re Beautiful”
I’m here now… and plan on spreading the message. I am Beautiful, and so are you!

Today, Caitlin visited my school. I loved the speech she made. Body image is a big problem that i have thought about. The “fat talk” she was talking about made me think about everything I think of negitivly about myself and about what my friends say about thereselves. I really appreciated the visit and I hope she will come back and it was an honor to meet her. Though i haven’t read the book, I think that the whole operation beautiful idea is going far and it will become
huge, bigger than it is now. Caitlin has inspired me and so many other people. I hope all of you get to meet this wonderful person and I hope she reads this. Thank you so much, Caitlin.
Thank you so much Jess. It was WONDERFUL to come to Abbeville!
You really really need to visit Ft. Collins Colorado!!! You would do so very much for my school! A lot of other girls are being bullied and they have no idea what to think! Help!
Last year, a friend and I decided to postit the bathrooms with beauty sayings. as the day progressed, many more postits showed up (we could see others’ postits because we only used two colors of postits and it was a rainbow by the end of the day. Well, this year, i met a new group of friends. i was talking about it and was saying that i wanted to do it again, and my friend was in awe. the day we had done that last year, she had used the restroom and loved the idea and added a bunch of postits. it really struck me as amazing how i was able to cheer up the day of someone who i didnt even know at the time.
I wish every woman, and man for that matter, knew how much they’re really worth. Everyone is totally and utterly beautiful. We’re taught from a young age to disect our body into pieces to measure their “beauty.” This is totally crap. Everyone says that they know that beauty comes from the inside, but no one really seems to show it.
I think that the post-it-notes are a great way to remind everyone that everyone has gone through the same insecurities that everyone else has. So why bother? I wear make-up regularly. But I don’t do it just because it makes me “beautiful” or whatever. I do it as a way of expressing myself, and no one is going to force me into insecurity. Only I can do that to myself.
Thank you to everyone who is reminding people that, yes, we are beautiful!!! <3
The cheerleaders at my school did this to our bathroom. Such a great website
This is a great idea! I’m planning to do this.
Today we have a group called girls on track we left sticky notes all over school every one was so happy I said 100% beauty it made me feel better about myself
I like this website and have a question we do this to girls only what can we do for boys there are boys that think wrong about them selfs too its not only girls so if u guys can answer this i would be happy :] thanks
Boys are welcome to participate! And I like to leave men notes. I try to leave them more unisex messages (like the post-it phrase at the day at the top of each daily post).
thank you and i really want u to tell me some phrase so i can do it in school at lockers if u would give me phrase that would be really good thanks :]
thanks
I found this website when I was really sad. I felt so bad about myself, and my friend gave me a link to a video on YouTube. It wasn’t one on here, but it really made me feel amazing. I looked at more and found this website. I am participating in this, and I hope it will turn out amazingly, which I’m sure it will. I was feeling self consious about my writing. I write stories on many websites, and that video saved me from just giving up. To this day I am not able to find that video no matter how hard I try. But that’s alright, that video apeared at the most perfect time and I will always remember it. I hope that these small notes with help other people like me remember that no matter how thin you are or what race or skin colour or religion you have, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!
P.S. I noticed I have the same name as you, so hello Caitlin, I’m Caitlin.
Caitlins rule!
I found three post it notes in my school’s bathroom, so you can say it made my day!
I’m so excited to try this! Although I’ve never really struggled with self-esteem, it hurts me when my friends beat themselves up over nothing. I can’t wait to try it- I’ve already got a stack of sticky notes with kind words written on them to post at school. Now I truly know the meaning of “The pen is mightier than the sword”
This is a great idea. too many people worry about weight and looks.
i found them (the notes) all over my school today… i was having a really bad day and my friend “taged me” and it said “your are so BEAUTIFUL no matter what. dont be BEAUTIFUL for others just be you!!” i really think that this made my self liking go up and well i totaly aggree with this OPPERATION BEAUTFUL i love it im going to start posting things aroung my high school…Gwinn has some great people… we just have to open our eyes.
if you aggree with you you can be a beautiful person with me add me
