In this book of the "Help me cope series", Lesley writes about the importance of learning the things that were taught in "Finishing schools". These range from the correct etiquette when setting a table, how to keep a house clean and ready for all occasions and how to ensure your body is hygienic and smells good all the time. Hair care, nail care and correct dress code are some of the items that are discussed for body hygiene. By ensuring our home and body are well cared for, we will feel better about ourselves and our environment. Having a clean house is important for your health. In the "Help me cope activities" at the end of the book one can identify the areas you need to improve and then use the book to get there. She has included photos to help clarify the teachings.
