"Whether you view your one-woman m nage as Doom or Adventure, you need a plan, if you are going to make the best of it."

Thus begins Marjorie Hillis' archly funny, gently prescriptive manifesto for single women. Though it was 1936 when the Vogue editor first shared her wisdom with her fellow singletons, the tome has been passed lovingly through the generations, and is even more apt today than when it was first published. Hillis, a true bon vivant, was sick and tired of hearing single women carping about their living arrangements and lonely lives; this book is her invaluable wake-up call for single women to take control and enjoy their circumstances.

Hillis takes readers through the fundamentals of living alone, including the importance of creating a hospitable environment at home, cultivating hobbies that keep her there ("for no woman can accept an invitation every night without coming to grief"), the question of whether single ladies may entertain men at home (the answer may surprise you ), and many more.

With engaging chapter titles like "A Lady and Her Liquor" and "The Pleasures of a Single Bed," along with a new preface by author Laurie Graff (You Have to Kiss A Lot of Frogs), Live Alone and Like It is sure to appeal to live-aloners and many other readers alike.

Ingredible stainless steel/glass grinder set - refillable and adjustable
Model: 2 Pack Salt and Pepper Grinder
Incredible grinder set. - Unlike some grinders that are made of plastic. This is glass so no reactive, especially to salt. And, no micro-plastic concerns - You can see inside, so you'll know when you're running low and can shop for more salt or pepper - Perfect functional size. Some grinders are giant tall towers and other are too small. This one is in the Goldilock zone of just the right size. - Mill is adjustable and produces a very consistent sized grain. - EZ to use
