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...

Dear Wanderlust, The Series Continues

" Travel makes you modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world, " - Gustav Flaubert. Dear Wanderlust, The series continues....... Meet Kelsey and her beautiful daughter! Last time your eyes were glued to this blog, you read about a daring, young woman who gave her life wings and travelled all the way to Spain from a tiny speck on the world map, known as Trinidad. Now moving there on your own is a whole experience in itself, but what if you moved with your immediate family too? Would that make you feel less homesick with them there? Let's find out in this interview with Kelsey, who moved to Vietnam - from Trinidad - with her family. Yes, you read that correctly. V I E T N A M. 1. Location: Q. Where are you from originally and where did you move to? A. I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago. As far as places to be born, T&T is as good as it gets. However, for a year now, my family and I have...

Just Snap Out Of It

"What's on your mind?" That's the infamous Facebook prompter for users to update their status. But, what's really on your mind? Would Facebook - and all who follow you - really like to know what's on your mind? If you haven't guessed it already, this post is about mental health. I know, it's early in a New Year and this is a heavy topic but it must be talked about. My little random blog is probably not going to make such a drastic change in the world but i'll be sure to discuss real issues and somehow influence you guys in some way to feel comfortable enough to share your thoughts with someone. It's healthy - contrary to the way we were raised, right? In some way, speaking about how you felt was taboo. I remember my first panic attack. I was seventeen and in a classroom on my laptop. We didn't have a scheduled class at that time, so I think I was playing a game. All my classmates were in their worlds doing whatever and I just ...
