New Feature:

We at Lady Personified have concluded that our readers could benefit from our collective experience in doing ordinary stuff! This used to be taught in schools in "Home Economics" but sadly it has fallen by the wayside. Don't expect astounding revelations. Rather, you will get tips that used to be common knowledge. If you ever need to know how to tell the difference between a hard boiled egg and a raw egg without finding you were wrong when you crack the shell, you just might want to drop in. There will be other tips too and we'll never tell that you consulted a Home Ec teacher!
