_92.jpg "A shop manager quit her job to resell second-hand clothing - and now makes up to $5k-a-month. <br/><br/>Stephanie Thornsburg, 43, ran a thrift shop for 16 years - before turning her side hustle of selling her old clothes online into a full-time career. <br/><br/>She started off listing the clothes in her wardrobe - but now makes a living buying and selling second-hand items.<br/><br/>As well as being able to pay herself a salary, Stephanie also uses it to support her two children, 23 and 18, with her husband, Luke, 44, a configuration lead. <br/><br/>Stephanie, from Cincinnati, Ohio, US, said: “I make money by spending time digging and finding the treasures - then putting them on the second-hand market. <br/><br/>“I was ready to be my own boss, too - really take the leap. <br/><br/>“I managed other people for 16 years, after a while, it gets a little overwhelming. <br/><br/>“Now, I’ve never been happier - I’m helping promote slow fashion and I have so much free time on my hands.”<br/><br/>The mum-of-two has always worked in the second-hand industry. <br/><br/>She was the first person to open up a “bricks-and-mortar buy-and-sell store” in her area. <br/><br/>Stephanie managed the shop for 16 years and often felt she had to give up her free time to help out.<br/><br/>“My kids were eight months and five years old at the time,” she said. <br/><br/>“I started out as a store manager - and ended up working my way to district manager. <br/><br/>“When you’re manager, you’re the one who has to end up going in and taking care of things. <br/><br/>“I had to come in on so many of my days off, and work lots of overtime. <br/><br/>“Even if I wasn’t at work, you still get phone calls, and you’re still needed. <br/><br/>“You’d be getting questions at any time of the day. <br/><br/>“I also had some crazy emergencies - like a kid once accidentally crashing his car into the front of our store.”<br/><br/>Other full-time clothing resellers would often come to Stephanie’s shop for “inventory” - which inspired her to make the transition. <br/><br/>She said: “Resellers would particularly come to our women’s and designer stores. <br/><br/>“People bought our stuff to try and sell it on and make some money. <br/><br/>“It piqued my interest that people can do this all by themselves - they don’t have to work for someone.”<br/><br/>In 2020, Stephanie started selling the clothes in her wardrobe as a side hustle - before branching out to other products bought at second-hand shops. <br/><br/>It took her four years to make enough money to replace her nine-to-five income. <br/><br/>She initially started out making $1k profit per month, and now has a turnover of $60k-a-year.<br/><br/>“The trick is to learn which brands sell well,” she said. <br/><br/>“The money comes in when you figure out what those pieces are.<br/><br/>“Size is a huge component for me. <br/><br/>“The average size of a woman in the US is a 16, so I often find sizes 10 and up perform the best. <br/><br/>“It took me a full year to profit $1k to $2k-a-month doing this as a side-hustle - now, it’s $4k to $5k. <br/><br/>“I’ve been able to make what I was making at my old job - but I’m my own boss, and continuing to grow.”")

_summer-diy-renovations-and-must-haves-for-the-home.jpg "Springtime is one of the most popular times to start home renovations, with the kitchen and bath the two most important rooms to upgrade with enormous resale value too. For starters in the bathroom, you want to replace toilets that are dated inefficient and guzzle water. TOTO Nexus One-Piece, a water-saving model has the EPA WaterSense-label. It looks great and it's eco-friendly and can potentially save hundreds of gallons of water a month. Next, totally level up with a bidet. Bidets have become a huge home improvement trend, especially as people prioritize wellness, self-care and look for ways to live cleaner, and healthier. Thanks to TOTO anyone can bring a bidet's spa like sense of cleanliness and luxury into their own home without breaking the bank or calling a plumber. They have an amazing line of bidet seats called WASHLET that let you transform any toilet into a luxury bidet. Their top of the line, WASHLET S7A bidet seat is paired seamlessly with the Nexus One-Piece toilet with all the cords and hoses completed concealed. The Nexus WASHLET+ S7A has some amazing bells and whistles including automatic open/close lid, heated seat that can be warmed to your liking, front and rear cleansing using warm aerated water, and gentle warm air drying, which reduces the need for toilet paper. Everything from temperature to water pressure can be customized by remote control and it has four presets so everyone has their own personalized experience. This one actually cleans itself and the bowl with electrolyzed water before and after you use it and pulls in and breaks down odors in the bowl, so the bowl and air around it are fresh and clean. If you don't need a new toilet, you can buy the WASHLET alone. It's a super easy DIY install onto your existing toilet less than 20 minutes; you just need an electrical outlet within three feet. There's a TOTO app to guide you if you need it. There is a WASHLET to fit every need and budget on totousa.com . Now let's talk more DIY...a fresh coat of paint is an easy, inexpensive way to update your home, but to do it like a pro, you need the right tools. And the best paint jobs start with ScotchBlue Painter's Tape. ScotchBlue and Scotch Brands are ranked as the most recommended based on a recent study. They have a full line of adhesives specifically designed for the various demands of every paint project, giving you confidence to effectively get the job done right the first time.

Tresche /Treske/ Thirsk – are different ways of spelling the same thing.<br/><br/>The influence of the Benedictine monks at Ampleforth was clear in Gormley’s approach at Treske, a sense of the Benedictine values of community, stewardship, hospitality and discipline being at the heart of the business, which still occupies the same old maltings that Gormley moved into more than 50 years ago.<br/><br/>In the late 1960s and early 1970s there was a growing interest in self-sufficiency and craft, and Treske can be seen broadly as part of that movement.<br/><br/>Local apprentices literally lived on the premises, learning age-old skills from time-served cabinet makers, eating with Gormley and family at the end of the day, sitting on Treske chairs at Treske tables and sleeping in Treske bunks.<br/><br/>The furniture itself was simple and elegant whilst being robust and well-made, Shakerish-style for a Yorkshire farmhouse, kind-of Habitat-meets-Ercol: “Yorkshire furniture for Yorkshire people with Yorkshire timber.”<br/><br/>Gormley was well-known around local markets and fairs, where he’d set up stall and sell direct to the public. Some years later, and a few miles up the A1 from Thirsk, Gormley’s youngest brother Anthony – also an old Ampleforthian - would also produce work that blended elements of the White Horse with certain religious overtones – the Angel of The North quickly became one of the UKs most-loved works of public art.<br/><br/>In parallel with making furniture for the home, John Gormley also began to produce ecclesiastical furniture – again, the Ampleforth education clearly played a part, a feeling for church buildings being close to Gormley’s heart.<br/><br/>“It’s a side of the business which is still incredibly important to us today,\")
