Finishing Touches for Teens: Beauty, Etiquette and Self-Esteem for Your Changing World

Just read this book and must say Wow! I have 2 step-kids that can be horrors in public places. Thanks for a great guide!

I think I have just read a book that is about to become my new favorite. I'm a teen, just thought you should know. For a few weeks I've been searching for a book that dealt with teen beauty, manners, exercise, and eating right. This book is all I could have hoped for. It fits the bill perfectly! In this book many topics are covered, each having genuine importants; things you really wanted to know. This book isn't the typical growing up, and changing book, its much better. This book is beyond the facts of life, though I wouldn't want to have to grow up without it. One section in this hardback, 171 page book discusses self-esteem, being a fun, not boring person, and ettiquette, including letter writing, table manners, and what to do on a date. That section dealing with inner beauty was very uplifting , but helped me to realize some faults of mine that needed fixing. The second section, more or less, dealt with outer beauty: the application of make-up, facial cleansing, nail care, and your crowning glory: hair. This section ended with discussing fashion, and really motivated me to clean my closet. The pages that addressed exercise and eating right were my favorites, they really made me want to stay in shape, and made it fun to do so. A final section even thoroughly talked about the possibility of modeling, which had been brought up a few times throughout the book otherwise. I loved this book, and truely believe that it will help me be more beautiful both inside and outside. I hope this review will prompt others to read this book and change themselves for the better also. Another book dealing with these issues is "Beauty From the Inside Out." I would also recommend reading this. One final thing that I would like to say is that didn't give this book five stars for nothing.
