Little Notes That Make Women Feel Lovely

This June, women across the country joined Operation Beautiful, a group that puts up anonymous notes on mirrors—or any other objects that can be self-defeating—that tell the viewer, “You’re Beautiful.” All they needed was a call to arms from founder Caitlin Boyle (“A lot of people need a reminder that they’re beautiful,” she says)—and a pen and paper.
