Embrace Your Beauty
It all starts with the parents. We as parents need to talk to our children about self-esteem, before the so called” beauty industry” does. Talk to them before the ads and magazines who stereotype beauty do. Let them know that each one is individually unique and they must love everything about themselves.
We have to change the way they perceive beauty and let them embrace the natural broad beauty in each one of us. Too many girls develop low self-esteem from hang-ups about looks. Consequently, many fail to reach their full potential later in life. The group Just Us Chixs has formed a group of girls and young women called ”Pretty Girls In Pink”, it is a cheer and dance team. But, the most important reason that the group was formed is to boost self-esteem in our next generation.
The “Pretty Girls In Pink” will be hosting several workshops during the year. Another main goal for these young ladies is to excel in school. Hope to see you all out there! Call us for more information (830)422-2242/(830)488-3839.

Pretty Girls In Pink
Cheer and Dance Team!!
Hello and welcome to the Girl Power Self Esteem Program. I am sure you will find this to be a wonderful experience. This program is brought to you by the Just us Chixs AKA Chickadees a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. With nearly two decades of pageantry, mentoring, public speaking, fashion, lionism and volunteering experience and an outstanding group of young ladies and role models. I will direct the workshops with what I have seen works best...when it comes to "Confidence Adjustments." Before, I go into detail…I would like to personally thank our Mayor Efrain Valdez, City Manager and City Council, for their support at the last City Council meeting Tuesday, March 25, 2008. I was so excited. You all have the hard task of deciding where our money will go. Well, I assure you, we do not want your money….for this Self Esteem program I seek your Quality Time. I invite you to read on and book yourself as one of my VIP Guest Speakers for my Self Esteem Program.
Our goal is to provide a sisterhood atmosphere were in clients will learn the "Self Respect" philosophy and be allowed to achieve maximum personal growth and self-esteem. Young girls ages 6 - 18 years old with Self Esteem issues from all over the area are invited to attend one of 12 workshops, which we hope will become one of their life-long childhood memories. The primary purpose of the work shop is to provide, without charge, a program, regardless of race, religion, or national origin. Girl Power Hour is a monthly social networking experience for young girls in Del Rio, Texas. We provide a stylishly inviting environment conducive to meeting other cool girls, sharing ideas, inspiring each other and connecting on a personal level. The idea is to get the girls in a comfortable environment that facilitates relationship building in a non-threatening way, allowing socializing and networking to occur naturally.
Come and be part of the fastest growing Girl Power - Self Esteem program in the area. There are many reasons why girls suffer from low self-esteem. Perceived lack of self-worth, uncontrollable jealousy, relationship break-ups, high levels of anxiety or stress, inability to think positively, mild depression, and MANY other issues affect the self-esteem of millions of girls every day. Learn self respect basics, the game of 1st impressions, girls just wanna have fun, divine being with a divine purpose, self defense, dating, domestic violence, teen pregnancy prevention, alcohol- and drug-free lifestyle benefits, and general body awareness, celebrating beauty, culture, style, and intelligence, family and moral values, the true value of kindness, her highness, on the catwalk, A Walk In Two Worlds: Mothers and Daughters Come Walk Together, just to name a few.
