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.

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

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.

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

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
