Colbie Caillat Has a Message for Women That May Surprise You

I have a teenage daughter, and have been amazed over the last few years by the pressure she feels to have her makeup and hair just perfect before she exits the house in the mornings. Regardless of how naturally beautiful a girl is, the pressure to be perfect is something that has become more and more prevalent in our society today.

Don’t get me wrong, I think makeup is pretty awesome stuff. I’ve always had the motto that if a barn needs some paint, then by all means, paint it…but I think sometimes the “paint” becomes our identity.

Grammy award-winning, singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat is kinda tired of having that expectation thrust upon her and she’s more than a little bit tired of being photoshopped at every turn. After a little inspiration from an unexpected source - a man, she decided to create something for her latest album that would speak to this issue. The video you see below is the result - her new single, Try.

What impact does this video have on you?
