Teri, I so agree with you about today's society, it is so disappointing to me to see young people swearing around their children and in the office place. I don't consider myself a prude or an angel by any means but in general society and around young children I always watch how and what I say. It's just the way I was raised. Also my mother and I noticed it a lot when we were in London/Paris, the way people dressed and presented themselves , was so much more stylish and like they cared about how they looked. It was funny because the only time we saw men that were sloppily dressed were generally American. So it's very sad to see that happen, and I notice it daily with the relaxed dress codes at work. I so miss those days when people took a little bit more pride in the way they dressed.....In my area of work I see so many of the women not even wear makeup to work and it just makes me shake my head, like as if putting a little bit of lipstick or mascara will somehow make them seem less qualified than the guy next to them....Anyways enough of my rant, you'll think I'm a loony LOL This sound like a great book and thanks so much for sharing it with us :D xox

Poise, like so many other personal attributes seem to be becoming a thing of the past. We live in such a layed-back society these days. It's so unfortunate. For example, we used to have a dress code at work. Although I quit working a few years ago, I still like to dress as if I were going to work whenever I leave the house. When I visit my former office place these days, It looks like casual Friday everyday of the week anymore. So sad to me. I think that simply taking a little extra effort to dress more appropriately makes you feel more poised and makes professional people more productive. I had to giggle just a little at your horror at Scott wearing sandals to church. I'm thinking Jesus probably wore sandals every day of his life, but now if Scott starts also wearing a robe with his sandals to church, you might really have to put your foot down! Laurie

You are SO lucky!!! I can't wait to read this book! I devoured the first 2 in a matter of 2-3 days. Great review and I loved the examples/excerpts you shared. I know that through YouTube or IG you don't get to really know someone but I happen to think you have so much poise. The way you articulate yourself, your tone, the way you keep your home, your attention to detail from hosting a party or making a flower arrangement, appreciation for travel and desire to keep learning and grow are all signs of poise and elegance. I love that your channel is a place for inspiration, great ideas, amazing suggestions and that it is a clean and positive space that does not promote or encourage inappropriate language or behavior. YOU are on the right track and are inspiring us all to jump on board, just like Jennifer does. :)

Teri....what a marvelous review of this latest book from Jennifer L. Scott, I can't wait to read it!! You're review again was so thoughtful and I love the fact that you stressed how important it is to try, as you say to "elevate your life"!!! I couldn't agree more and I feel you are so right about the decline of our nation in this respect. I was once vacationing at a very nice hotel in Palm Springs and while lounging by the pool the couple next to me used such vulgar language...I was so shocked, it almost ruined my whole afternoon by the pool !!! I should have complained to the management and I think the next time I will!! Thank you for bringing this very important subject up.... We can all use a little more poise and gentility in this world!! ❤️ Terianne

Jean Bowers commented on 27 Sep 2015

Teri, Always love your videos! You share ideas that inspire and elevate. I so agree with all you have shared. I think change for the better does start with each individual and how we conduct ourselves. Dressing nicely and good grooming shows effort and respect for the activity we are participating in. I think it's true for my love of cosmetics as well. It is an effort to enhance and elevate one's appearance. I especially think how we instruct children to conduct themselves is so important. Let's aspire to be poised and not sloppy and raunchy in our language and behavior. It denotes self respect as well as thoughtfulness to those we interact with. It can only enhance our culture and not denigrate it. Thank you for being such an inspiration in this effort.

This is such a wonderful book, Teri! And you did a wonderful review. I think you have so much poise. I have to admit, Teri and I'm ashamed to say it, but I can have a potty mouth. I don't in front of my grandkids, of course, but when I drop something on my foot or something like that. But I'm really trying to do better. Anyway, I love trying to develop more grace and poise. I'm trying to start with organizational skills, like we had talked about. I also don't know why people don't dress like they used to. Everything is so casual now. This was a great review! Much love and best wishes for the wedding! Much love, Melissa

mariam commented on 27 Sep 2015

I love Jennifer's books, vlogs, and blog posts! She inspired me to make a lot of changes in my life. I'm in my twenties and I see so many horrifying things and sometimes I'm sad to say that I'm ashamed of hanging out with my friends. Manners don't seem to matter that much anymore and I've seen people react so nicely even if I said something as simple as how are you. I can't wait to read this book since there are so many changes I still want to make. Cursing isn't really a problem, but my posture sure is!! Take care and thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Dianne D Ballard commented on 27 Sep 2015

I have Jennifer's other 2 books and really did enjoy them. She gives the reader much food for thought. All of this is especially important to me now that I have a new grandchild. What kind of world are we giving kids to live and grow up in? Our standards need to be way above what they have become. One person at a time can change this. We hold more power than we think. We influence in some way every one we meet. Thank you Jennifer Scott for writing a book that says what today's world needs more than ever! Great review Teri!!

Shake Up Makeup commented on 27 Sep 2015

I definitely want to get this book. I agree with everything you said Teri. It seems that some people don't have a filter anymore. I go by the old saying, "If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all." Words can either be hurtful or helpful. Most of what we hear on tv today is hurtful. I used to watch a lot of television but I don't anymore. It is all so negative and I try to fill my mind with positivity. Best wishes for the wedding. xoxo Laura

Shanta Nair commented on 29 Sep 2015

Hi Teri, Thank you for the sharing and the great review. I bought her " At home with Madame Chic" book after seeing your earlier review on that book. I throughly enjoyed reading it. I love Jennifer's book, Volgs, and blog posts. Thanks for introducing Jennifer L. Scott. Will definitely want to get this book. I so agree with all you have shared. Now a days youngster and their mannerisms are deteriorating tremendously .....see you soon in another video .

the Daily Connoisseur commented on 28 Sep 2015

Teri thank you so much for this amazing review! And I agree with you about Cary Grant. I have always loved him! Perfect example of poise. Loved your flip-flops at church story. That sounds like my husband too! Completely agree about the cursing. And congratulations on your daughter's upcoming wedding! Thank you again for sharing these great thoughts about my book xx

Yank InTX commented on 27 Sep 2015

"Vulgarity is the new normal". Love that line. So true. My mama taught me to express myself without vulgarity. It is not easy sometimes, but it requires more strength to maintain poise than to let your emotions control you. Self-control requires real power. I love the sound of this book. Thank you for the review. I will buy it! So excited to dig in!

chestnut638 commented on 27 Sep 2015

Great review. I agree! Poise, elegance, chic. Good words. Personally, I've never been a fan of the word sexy to describe a look, a way to carry yourself, especially regarding the 40 plus crowd. I'm so over the word sexy, I can't say it enough. MAZEL Tov Teri!! Nothing like your daughter getting married!! Thinking of you. Your hair looks fab. Xx

walknwendy commented on 28 Sep 2015

I so agree Teri it has gotten so bad...there is a quote "If you can't be interesting without profanity, then let's face it you're not that interesting" I can remember when kids got into trouble for talking like that and now it just flows out from kids and parents like it's just normal. Poor Scott and his flip flops...lol I know what you mean!!

Wow. Nice. I thought about when another reviewer mentioned how Mia kinda broke the 4th wall about her life being made into a movie (kinda paraphrasing). I also wondere how old you were. When you said you weren't into middle school books or 12-year-old books, you said you meant cuz of your past, also with elementary school. Wasn't sure if you meant cuz of the cheesiness/silliness.

Thelittlereadinglamb commented on 19 Nov 2015

+Brooke Parker Thanks for watching! I'm 20 years old, in this video I was still 19 though. I meant more so that I didn't enjoy elementary school at all more so grades 6-8, so I don't really like delving back into those days. Also, I've never been a giant fan of middle school books. :)

Sakshi Singh commented on 25 Oct 2015

i know that but d thing i want to know is that the 11th book also has the young adult thing in it

Thelittlereadinglamb commented on 25 Oct 2015

+Sakshi Singh Sorry I misunderstood. The 11th book is adult fiction and not a YA book.

Sakshi Singh commented on 04 Oct 2015

hows d 11th book

Thelittlereadinglamb commented on 25 Oct 2015

+Sakshi Singh The 11th book is about Mia's royal wedding so if that's what you mean then yes.

Sakshi Singh commented on 25 Oct 2015

Its about the royal wedding

Thelittlereadinglamb commented on 04 Oct 2015

+Sakshi Singh Thanks for watching! Do you mean "Royal Wedding", because if so here is my review of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VIGS6fBQeEIf you, didn't mean that one can you tell me the title of the book you're referencing, because even in the books the page where it says what order they go in is confusing due to the novellas. :)

emberflamescull2200 commented on 30 Sep 2015

well I hated the series hears why because there as far as I saw on each book that I saw was just dear diary and it was all incursive and a few print stuff but not many do you have the same kind of books I never bought the book because of that

Thelittlereadinglamb commented on 30 Sep 2015

+emberflamescull2200 Thanks for watching! The books I own have cursive at the top of the page, but they don't say dear diary.

tantan lince commented on 07 Jul 2015

I own some of these books that are unread or read so I can tell your my rating :). now sure if I want to read these yet. The unfortunate event got me going haha. I got soo upsets when the villain can showing up. I kept thinking to myself " leave those kids alone you poop!" " ok dropping the book for while " haha got soo into it.

Thelittlereadinglamb commented on 07 Jul 2015
