Are you the next milk mustache star?

Looking and feeling your best can inspire confidence and empower you to achieve your goals. That’s the message that Julianne Hough is spreading to teen girls across America. The actress, dancer and singer has partnered with the National Milk Mustache “got milk?” Campaign and Seventeen magazine to launch “The Power of 9” – a new program that celebrates the power of milk’s nine essential nutrients and shows teens that making good food choices and drinking lowfat or fat free milk can help them look lean and strong on the outside and feel confident and strong on the inside.

As part of the new program, Julianne is helping search for The 9 – an elite group of teen girls who will become the next Milk Mustache stars, serve as milk ambassadors and have a chance to make a positive impact on their peers across the country throughout 2011.

As the latest celebrity to star in the famous Milk Mustache campaign, Julianne knows that being active, eating right and drinking lowfat milk help her look great and feel confident. Whether it’s in a glass, cereal bowl, smoothie or in a latte, milk’s an easy way to get nine essential nutrients that support healthy bones, teeth, skin and help build lean muscle.

“I would never have accomplished my dreams if I didn’t have confidence in myself – and a big part of feeling confident comes down to looking and feeling my best,” said Julianne. “Through my new Milk Mustache ad and the Power of 9 program, I want to inspire girls to make good choices regularly to help them be their best and reach their own goals – so they can serve as role models for other teens.”
