HOW TO SELL AT A VINTAGE FAIR

Choose your fair

It’s a good idea to start small and local. Don’t head to a huge national trade fair with your family heirlooms or you’ll be swallowed whole. Broadly speaking, vintage events tend to fall into one of three categories: handmade, fashion or antiques. Punters expect a handful of trinkets for twenty quid at the former, but will part with more for specialist fashion, and spend big bucks at the antique fairs. Do your online research and take the standing cost (between £25 and £80) into consideration.

Prep properly

The most important thing you’ll need is a wingman. Going it alone is wretched for many reasons, including the related matters of bladders and thieves. Make sure everything is clean-ish but don’t make the mistake of using silver dip on your antiques or you’ll lose the patina and decrease the value (remember age is a commodity here). Price up your items clearly. I make labels out of string and brown paper and always take an inventory book. Other essentials include a cash float for change, plastic bags and newspaper for wrapping breakables, sandwiches and loads of biscuits.

Make it sing

Some people go to extraordinary lengths to entice custom, bringing rugs, shelving, lighting and more to transform a lowly trestle table into a beautiful little pop-up shop. Be creative. Don’t be afraid to wear your stock and, as you sell, keep moving stuff around to keep your pitch looking fresh.

Early bird

Fellow traders will minesweep the best stuff before the general public arrives. This can be the time to shift some serious stock as they have money to spend, but if you’re still setting up you can easily be caught off guard. Don’t be wrong-footed. Ask them to come back in half an hour. If they’re serious, they will. I’ve had people buy items too cheaply at the start of the day, only to display them on their own stand at a higher price. Guaranteed to make your blood boil.

Hold your nerve

When it gets busy, customers will throw money down and try to walk off with what they want. Hold your nerve. Don’t let anything go for less than you think it’s worth, but do be prepared to haggle. It’s a good idea to price things up a bit higher than your ideal sum. Too high and you’ll scare people off; too low and you’ll be mincemeat.

Show proper form

It’s customary to offer discounts to fellow traders. If they ask “what’s the death?” it means your lowest acceptable price. Offer discounts for bulk buyers and be prepared to drop your prices late in the day. Be friendly to fellow traders; leave off the hard sell but always be ready with a yarn.

GO GREEN! 7 INCREDIBLE HEALTH BENEFITS OF GREEN BEANS

You may have hated seeing them in your lunchbox, but the fact is that green beans are some of the most nutritional vegetables children can eat. And your parents knew that well. One of the oldest cultivated vegetables, green beans have many varieties you could pick from – String beans, French beans or Snap beans are all rich in vitamins A, C, and K, they are a good source of folic acid and heart protective calcium and fiber. Harvesting green beans is an interesting process. The book ‘Healing Foods’ writes, “fresh green beans are edible pods picked early in the plant’s growth cycle. As they mature, the pods become tough, fibrous and inedible”.

1.Green Beans for Energy

Green beans contains about twice the amount of iron as compared to spinach. Iron is a component of red blood cells which is essential to transport oxygen from the lungs to cells throughout the body. If you are struggling with anemia, dripping energies or low metabolism – then green beans is the magical food you need.

2.Green Beans are great for Skin, hair and nails

This nutritional powerhouse can do wonders for your skin, hair and nails. Green beans are loaded with an easily absorbed type of silicon, which are important for the formation of healthy connective tissues and strengthening nails and boosting skin health.
3.Bone Health

According to the book ‘Healing Foods’ green beans are abundant in Vitamin K, which activates osteocalcin which is the main non-collagen protein found in bones. This compound locks calcium molecules together inside bone, strengthening them from within.

4. Green Beans protects against free radical damage

Green beans are loaded with antioxidants preventing the free radical damage activity. Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms with an odd (unpaired) number of electrons and can be formed when oxygen interacts with certain molecules. These molecules can bind together and form chains which can affect important cellular components making them function poorly and causing them to die. In worse cases it can also trigger heart ailments and cancers. To prevent free radical damage the body has a defense system of antioxidants. Green beans with their high quantum of antioxidants can prevent the activity. The book ‘Healing Food’ notes, “ Levels of antioxidants lutein, beta-carotene, violaxanthin and neoxanthin are comparable to those in carotenoid –rich vegetables, such as carrots”

5.Detox effects
Green beans with its strong diuretic properties can serve as a great detox and help rid your body from unwanted toxins.

6.Boosts Heart Health

Green beans pack abundant amounts of calcium and heart protective flavonoids. Flavonoids are polyphenolic antioxidants that are commonly found in fruits and vegetables. The high amounts of flavonoids have immense anti-inflammatory properties, which regulate thrombotic activity in the cells and prevent blot clots in the arteries.

7.Good for eyesight

Rich in carotenoids, green beans could play an effective role in preventing macular degeneration (a condition that causes decrease in vision and eye function). They are also rich in lutein and Zeaxanthin which help maintain good eyesight and night vision.

REMOVE YOUR STRETCHED SKIN AND SMOOTHEN IT WITH THESE REMEDIES

Dreadful nightmare, two words that describe stretch marks on your body. Stretch marks make your body look ugly as they show on the surface if your skin.

You can get stretch marks when your body changes in size and this can happen during pregnancy, puberty or when you experience rapid weight gain. You will find that ninety eight percent of pregnant women will have stretch marks around their abdomen, hips and thighs. You can definitely work your way to remove these stretch marks easily from your skin with some very easy ways.

Messages and hot baths
Pamper yourself with massages and hot baths and watch your stretch marks reduce fast. This is a good and very easy way to remove stretch marks from your body. The enhanced blood circulation that happens leads to quicker repairing of your skin and thus will eventually result in the lessening of stretch marks. Using coconut oil or olive oil could prove to be especially fruitful and is best for massaging and moisturising the skin.

Retin A
A study conducted by the University of Michigan says that those who use Retin-A on their newly formed stretch marks actually see huge improvements, as it is believed to boost collagen production. This helps the skin to stretch out and avoid tears. The bad news about Retin-A is that it would not be helpful if you are applying it to old stretch marks.

Limit your sun exposure when using it as you could be susceptible to burning. You must also however not use Retin-A if you are pregnant, or you are nursing. This will cause birth defects in newborns.

Potato juice
Here is a good way to remove your stretch marks as potato juice contains vitamins and minerals that help to foster growth and restoration of the skin cells.

For this you must cut one medium sized potato into thick slices, take one of the slices and rub it gently over the stretched mark areas for a few minutes. Then you should also make sure that the potato covers the affected area. Let the potato juice dry for some time and then you can wash it off with lukewarm water.

Lemon juice
There is another simple way to lessen stretch marks; use lemon juice. Lemon juice is naturally acidic and it helps to heal and reduce stretch marks. Additionally lemon juice is also good for skin injuries, acne, and other such scars. You must rub the fresh lemon juice gently on the stretched mark areas and the allow it to get soaked by your skin. You may rinse it with warm water after allowing it to soak for at least ten minutes. You could also mix equal quantities of cucumber juice and lemon juice and apply this mixture on the affected areas.

Castor oil
Castor oil may not be a treat to your nose but is surely a good treatment for stretch marks and other skin problems like wrinkles, age spots, moles, dark spots, fine lines and pimples.

You must apply it to the stretch marks and massage gently for about fifteen minutes. Then cover the area by wrapping it with a thin cotton cloth and use a hot water bottle or a heating pad to apply some heat to the affected area for half an hour. You should repeat this process everyday and await results.

You could also moisturise your skin regularly and use olive oil to keep your skin looking beautiful and radiant. The challenging part is to wait for results to show, you should not get discouraged or feel impatient.

A fruity treat to enhance your beauty
Fruits are good for health. We all knew that. But they are great for your skin, your face, and in general for several beauty treatments; and not all of them involve eating the fruit. They’re natural, do not have harmful chemicals, and one doesn’t have to look very hard to find them. That is why fruit treatments are a very healthy and effective way to home groom ourselves. Here is our pick of our top five favourite fruity beauty treatments. Read on.

Apples
The apple is an excellent skin toner. Add one cup of apple juice to your bath water to help soften your skin. If you use it in the final rinse while you shampoo your hair, it acts as an anti-dandruff agent. An apple a day, indeed!

Bananas
Aside from making a breakfast healthy, bananas make our skin and hair supple too. Mash up a banana, apply it all over your face, and leave it for about 20 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water, and moisturise for smooth, beautiful skin. For using as a conditioner for the hair, mix some mashed banana with a little honey and apply evenly to hair after you shampoo. Rinse well, and what you’re left with is glowing shiny hair.

Papaya
Rich in Vitamin A, use mashed papaya, mixed with aloe vera gel once a month as an excellent exfoliating agent. Leave the mixture on your skin for about 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly. If your skin is sensitive, be careful to not leave it on too long for the first time to ensure it doesn’t irritate your skin.

Peaches
Sufferers of dry skin, celebrate! Mash a ripe peach, mix it with curd, add a few drops of rose water, and make a smooth paste. Apply on your face and leave it for about 20 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water. That should bid goodbye to dry skin for a while, leaving it moisturised, supple, and smooth.

Avocado
These are excellent for reducing puffiness around the eye. Apply a peeled slice of avocado under each eye for 20 minutes to reduce redness, irritation and puffiness. For people with oily skin, a face mask made by mixing half an avocado (mashed), the white of one egg, and one teaspoon of lemon juice will do wonders. Leave on for 20 minutes and rinse.
