How I started selling on EBAY

Today I want to talk about how I started selling on EBAY. It's a rather interesting story. As some of you may know I have a hustle instilled in me that runs in my bloodline and actually comes straight from my dad. My dad has been working since he was I believe about 11 years old. He has worked in many different fields until he discovered his talent which was antiques and art. He is a truly incredible artist and owns his own restoration business called Bach Antiques, at which he practically lives. I mean this man works 24/7 literally. But that's a whole different story that I'll save for another post.

The spark to start selling on EBAY first came about when I was asked to go to Sundance Film Festival by the Ciroc events company that I was working for at the time. I jumped at the opportunity and really loved the whole experience. As you may know there are a lottttt of perks that come with going to Sundance and one of them was of course the many gift bags that are given out at the events happening during the festival. I came home with an extra duffle bag filled with goodie bags. So I thought to myself... what am I going to do with all this stuff? I gave some to my family and well then the side hustle came into play.

I started an EBAY store and decided to sell all these items to make a side income and viola it worked! I continued to do that will items that I received from future events as well. Some I kept but the rest went straight onto EBAY. That's how I started and then continued to grow it into a semi small boutique where I started selling my unwanted clothing, shoes, bags etc. which I then coined as "recycled fashion". I'll go into that in my next post, but basically eventually you don't spend any money out of pocket and continue to recycle the funds you make from your unwanted clothes into buying new items! Stay tuned!

Deja Vu ... A blog I wrote on Myspace over a year ago... Wow.

JUNE 10,2008 from MYSPACE The Aftermath of a Break up of Two people Still in Love  Four walls surround me as I sit in this room full of thoughts that need to be let out. Thoughts of love, someone I love and probably always will. 8 days later I sit in my apartment that we both shared with one vacuum box filled with his clothes as the only reminder of him. Silence rings in my ears as I come to realize that he's not here. He's somewhere else now, because I kicked him out. Not in the living room, where I haven't been since he's been gone, we spend most of our time in that room of the apartment, not next to me in bed when I wake up, not in my presence, just somewhere else, perhaps a friend's house.      As a storm erupts in my eyes I sit here thinking why this happened to me and why its hurts so bad in the organ that produces love. What is love? Its indescribable, it's an extraordinary feeling that no one else can feel accept for you....

NYC Fashion > LA Fashion

As I recently took a short trip to NYC I of course observed all the fashion and the visual displays on Madison Ave, 5th Ave and more. NY is such a beautiful place to be and there is so much to see. I would walk at times on my own and just observe and take it all in, it was an amazing experience. NY remains to be my #1 place to live and be a part of . Its really the center of the universe with its diversity. Now onto the Fashion. As always I love designer resale stores. NYC happens to have some of the best ones. I went to my favorite again which is simply called "Designer Resale" also known as "The miracle on 81st  Street". Not only are things priced fairly but they have the best selection on the Upper East Side and in NY period. As I walked in I fell in love with a Chanel bag. Imagine, small elegant on a long chain and python. I asked the sales girl to let me see it. I thought to myself its probably over 2k but let me just see it ! To my surprise it was a fraction...

Revelations .... written 11/15/11

Isn't it funny how most people prefer to read personal blogs and are more interested in the drama and the gossip than anything else? I was debating all day today whether I should write a personal blog about my feelings and or what I'm thinking as of today and decided to go for it. As in the past it might have hurt some people and or got me in some trouble. But this is purely about my thoughts. Recently I have experienced some lows in my life and I noticed that it happens through out life and you begin to grow and discover more about yourself every day of your life. Some people enter your life while others exit, some interests replace old ones, some feelings develop as others disappear, so on and so forth. At this point in my life I feel disconnected from a several people in my life. It can go both ways, It may be me and how I feel or it may be the other person depending on what your preferences are in different situations. One thing is for sure, you cant expect people to have t...
