Garage Sales & Second Hand Items of Trinidad & Tobago

The Facebook group Garage Sale & Second Hand Items of Trinidad & Tobago was founded by Ms. Susie Phillips who has been a Garage Sale host/agent for the past fifteen years. Ms. Phillips' expertise in this field keeps her quite busy as she is booked up almost three months ahead of time! Persons hire her to sell their items from their home or business on a commissioned rate. She meets the client and assesses their 'for sale' items and then settle on a date for the sale.

She handles all the details regarding the set up and advertisement of the sale and even goes so far as to counselling some of the seller as sometimes, she has to sell the belongings of a deceased relative, for example.Therefore, an acute level of organizational skills, communication skills and diplomacy is required to handle such a venture, as you're dealing with person's precious items that usual hold a lot of significance and symbolism to them.

What's fun about this, however, is that Ms. Phillips gets the first picks of designer clothes, handbags - you name it!

Sixty per cent of her customers are repeat customers and she has a substantial social media following.

Date Night: Staying In Vs. Going Out

This is a short one! Don't forget Valentines Day is soon! I hope you have a great one filled with lots of sweet things. Such a day was created to tempt persons like me to steer away from our diet but i'm stronger than that. You will not defeat me this year sugar! It's quite possible couples may have a date night to celebrate Valentines Day and the restaurants will be filled. If you're into waiting for a table and you like going out much, then do you boo. But I prefer staying in. Basic, but whatever. I just like the whole idea of ordering the same food from your favourite restaurant (that you would buy if you go out) and having it in the comfort of your own home. Put the food on some nice plates, light some candles, throw some rose petals on the table, play some romantic music and have a nice dinner. You see it in the movies all the time and I know it seems corny and cheesy but have you ever had cheesy popcorn? It's a great combo! Ha! I really have t...

An Open Letter to Myself.

Wow! It's been a minute since I last posted on this blog and I am terribly sad that it took me this long to get back to something I truly enjoy doing. This entire time I was freaking out thinking what should be my first post for when I return? I didn't know exactly what to post and little did I know that the answer was sitting in my inbox for over one year.... I'm glad I'm back, though. I see Blogger has made some upgrades and what not. Anyway, back to why I'm here today. I usually send myself emails. I'm not sure if one would consider that as talking to yourself, but quite frankly, that's needed from time to time. And even if I was doing it for a while, it was confirmed as seemingly or somewhat normal when Golda Lee Bruce announced that she does it all the time, LOL. Phew! Anyway, let me just share what I sent myself, maybe me speaking to me will help you have the conversation you need to have with yourself. The subject of my email was "You'll Mak...

Tutorial: DIY Emoji Piñata

I made a piñata for a family event and decided I should share the process with you guys! So here's a quick guide on how to make a piñata for yourself! Now I am by no means a professional DIYer, but at least I can say that I tried! You'll need: A pair of scissors Tape/ Glue Cardboard or any type of sturdy material for the piñata itself Treats/Goodies Tissue/Kite/Crepe Paper (any paper of your choice) Step 1: Prep Cut the cardboard into two circles and some strips for the sides. The size of the circles depends on how large you would like the piñata to be. Similarly for the strips, the length depends on the circle's size. You'd have to make sure that the strip/s can go around, just about the entire circle. You'll see why a little further down. Read on! Step 2: Making the Frame Now you'd have to tape up the strip for around the circle. A trick is to tape the cardboard strip up on the sides first (vertically) so that i...
