I would like to set up a small market stall in our small town, how do i go about this?

our little towm has everyday market stalls but not very many, so i was thinking of stuff that would sell well. we do have a small store that sells make-up scarfs, hair pieces and belts clips, but it is naff really and only sells that cheap make-up. ect



other stalls there include 2 underwear, a sports stall, rug stall, meat stall, odds and ends and the last one is a dogs bit and pieces. we have your general basic shops but nothing like the high street.



a friend has offered to help finacially as i am a single mum of 2 and finding it very difficult to get employed as i have spent 10 years raising my children. so please give me some ideas but i would like to sell decent make-up. like revelon foundations that sell for 鎷?3 a bottle in boots but i can get it for 鎷? if i go into the bigger towns on the markets, so im looking along therm lines. more ideas and were to go from here. and how much for stock would we anitially be looking at spending on a rough basis. north east peterlee

If the market is run by your local council the first thing you need is public liability insurance an annual one off payment. The National Market Traders Federation (NMTF) or George Imber are the 2 companies most used. It`s only @ 鎷?0.00 but essential.



Initial set up costs - stall ,depends on size, sheets, clips,



look on ebay or ask traders on markets, they always know of someone selling a stall. Then your stock and carrier bags.



The way I started was looking at my local markets and finding what was missing then as I got established, moved onto stuff I like.



You can get a magazine called Trader at most big



newsagents if you want some ideas. if you can get to Manchester, there`s a great wholesalers called Northwest cosmetics. I found costume jewellry worked well as a second line. Wholesalers -Amber jewellry Manchester.

Hi, Your town is small, you have no market, sorry. Save your money. Due to the internet everyone now buys at trade prices.



I would like to set up a small market stall in our small town, how do i go about this?

I had market stalls in a small town. The trick is to buy cheap and sell cheap. go for things people need all the time. I was buying kids underwear for a couple of quid in a pack of 10. I added a couple of quid and they flew out. I also found that costume jewellery and cheap make up went very well.



I found talking to the market toby (Person in charge) and other traders invaluable, as long as you were not treading on their toes they are generally really happy to suggest lines and suppliers good luck

i have long dark brown hair i dont like 2 wear hair pieces so i would like to hairstyles to do with my own hair



I just moved to Virginia frome Allentown,Pennnsylvania. i need a hairdo for school can you help me?

Ok, try reading the Teen People magazine. It has really good hair styles. One is, get your hair down, and put hairspray over the ends, then curl your hair w/ a thick barrell curling iron, then, take a blow dryer, to make the curls into loose beach waves. It'll look awesome for school. And bangs are cool, too. Go to an appointment, or do it alone. Get your bangs cut, Long ones. Down to the bottom of your nose. Hope I helped.

why don't you stick with a simple ponytail until you get a feel for what is "in" at your new school, and maybe ask some of your new girlfriends for advice...it'll get the ball rolling and you'll be more secure in your choices...good luck in your new school!



I just moved to Virginia frome Allentown,Pennnsylvania. i need a hairdo for school can you help me?

Go to the salon and have them cut and style your hair.



I just moved to Virginia frome Allentown,Pennnsylvania. i need a hairdo for school can you help me?

Do all kinds of styles girl. Maybe like a messy bun, you can straighten it or something. I have lots of ideas but really hard to explain it in words. I'll try. You can brush your hair back on the top of your head just a smal portion of it and use a small clip to clip it back. You could leave it like that or after you do that you can put your bottom hair in like low pigtails. Try going on http://www.hairstyle-hairstyles.com/cute...



I just moved to Virginia frome Allentown,Pennnsylvania. i need a hairdo for school can you help me?

ok. you can do a simple bun, i saw one where you make three sections, you put the back section in a ponytail, clip it, then wrap the side sections around the ponytail and clip it. It is cute, and easy! try it!

Are romances based on accepting people for who they are the beginning of a failed relationship?

Of course, love that is not there initially may grow to be in time. Subtle ways of mixing and matching indifferences can open the doors of the heart and soul. But as in most cases, one or both parties tire of settling for less and eventually such connections end in divorce and bitter break-ups.



Subsequently, life is too short to make the same old time-proven mistakes. Therefore, are we better off taking a little longer to find what we truly want in marriage and relationships, instead of faking harmony in hopes of making the relationship in front of us work閳ユ敃imply because it閳ユ獨 available and convenient?



If you don't like smoking, then marrying a smoker in hopes that they will quit the habit one day, is like planting a tree between you and your spouse. And, if you don't care for overweight partners in a relationship, why marry someone with an eating disorder--only to end up fighting with them about diets and weight problems?



The ingredients of culture are also very problematic in relationships. For example: On average Black women have round, fat butts as a natural part of Black genetics. While White women have flat, skinny butts. Because of the cultural difference Black men inadvertently find flat, skinny butts to be a real romantic turnoff not by choice but by tradition. Which seems to offend some White women for not being accepted for who they are.



However, many interracial relationships succeed because of mixing and matching of indifferences such as the skin color, often very shapely legs, and the long silky hair feature of White women. Though few Black men will openly admit it, braids, hair pieces, weaves, and the short, frizzy hair feature of Black women is a turnoff for Black men.



All together, is there some sort of mechanism by which one is able to be respectable for the duration and accept people for who they are when the physical attraction doesn't automatically exist?



Are romances based on accepting people for who they are the beginning of a failed relationship?

no, I think they are based on things you have in common.



Are romances based on accepting people for who they are the beginning of a failed relationship?

duh.



Are romances based on accepting people for who they are the beginning of a failed relationship?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz



Less rambling and more to the point would be advisable.



Are romances based on accepting people for who they are the beginning of a failed relationship?

All people are better off taking a little longer to find out what they want in a marriage and a relationship. No one should fake harmony or caring. No one should ever marry someone, hoping to change the characteristics they don't like "someday," like smoking, overeating, drinking too much. No one should marry anyone with whom they are not compatible, though it happens all the time.



I don't understand the concept of marrying someone when you aren't physically attracted to them. Is this what you're thinking of doing, or have done? If so, what circumstances led you to do this?



Are romances based on accepting people for who they are the beginning of a failed relationship?

We come to love not by finding a perfect person



But by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

Are romances based on accepting people for who they are the beginning of a failed relationship?

I don't think you can do anything about lack of physical attraction.



But accepting some thing that is unchangeable about your partner like a love of golf or something will enhance your relationship. Of course don't accept things that are intolerable to you as that will lead to resentment on your part.



Are romances based on accepting people for who they are the beginning of a failed relationship?

I think relationships differ from person to person. For example some ppl are born doormats so they give up a lot for their partners. In some cases like arranged marriages you don't have to option of quiting, you either live miserabally or make the best of it. Sometimes like they say, love i s blind and you over look the faults until they hit you in the face so to speak. But in any partnership, you do have to make some compramise, even if it is about sharing a blanket.



Are romances based on accepting people for who they are the beginning of a failed relationship?

Indifference means not caring one way or the other...it is improper usage of the word. You cannot mix and match indifferences. It is like saying you are particularizing aloofness.



You answered your own question in the first paragraph. You are joking, right?



Are romances based on accepting people for who they are the beginning of a failed relationship?

For ur sake i hope this is part of an assignment! If not then stop thinking too much. U will NEVER find a hard n fast rule for the attractions between the sexes, regardless of race, gender or culture. There are always exceptions to the rule n ur just gonna drive urself around the bend trying to figure it all out. Try just mellowing a little. Is there any specific reason u wanna know this stuff? have u been dumped for someone from a different culture, or different appearance? If that's the case then u will never find a stand out warning that it is gonna happen again. The beauty and horror of us as human beings is that we may conform to a group or ideal but u go find us at 2am n it doesn't mean s**t who or what we say we r ; we just want what we want cuz its what makes us happy or content or safe..... or whatever other infinitesimal reason is significant to us at that point in time. Just try not to analyse things too much cuz ur gonna make urself nuts tryin. Good luck.

What the hell is your point?



Are romances based on accepting people for who they are the beginning of a failed relationship?

You seem to be having a nice conversation with yourself



However, the answer to your first question is absolutely not and in fact the opposite is true. If one accepts the the other for who they are and not what they want to change that person into, or what they want them to be, this the basis of a good relationship.



The answer to the second question is yes. The third question isn't really a question. The fourth question is nonsensical gibberish.



Are romances based on accepting people for who they are the beginning of a failed relationship?

You ran off course with this one . . .are you asking about the mechanics of a relationship? Or was this a subtle attempt to make it a point to address the aesthetics of black women vs. white women - and how black men prefer the latter? I will address your question in two parts.



As far as relationships go there is no perfect way to make one work. They are based on trial and error, and we just have to be smart enough to know when something doesn't work. There is no "perfect match" (contrary to some popular match-making websites). You just find that one particular person who is compatible with all aspects of your personality, and you with theirs. Notice I said compatible but that does not mean they have to necessarily like them. Human error in relationships is that we tend to be drawn to the fairytale . . . and those are for children. The end of the story may say "happily ever after" but do you notice the story usually ends after the couple rides away into the sunset. The reality is when they wake up ten years later they don't even know who the person is laying next to them. So, the answer to your question is . . . there is no answer. Life and relationships are not well-oiled machines, they take some repair and patching up to make them work. All we can do is make sure we keep our heads on straight through it all.



Secondly, the natural hair of women of African descent is thick, soft and strong. No, it may not flow down their backs in cascades of tendrils but, who is to say that is the only definition of what is beautiful hair. The braids, hair pieces and weaves you mentioned have a historical value that (these dissatisfied black men you mentioned) obviously don't know about. These techniques of enhancing the hair were developed by African tribes and held a spiritual importance. That is the one thing women of African descent can say still holds true from the past and hasn't become watered down in this European culture. That is what makes it so beautiful. The full backsides, curvy frames and lips that European women pay the big bucks for . . . well a higher power is to thank for that . . . the wrinkle-free pallets of earthen skin at the age of 60 - that is not the work of Oil of Olay.



BUT I digress . . .



Black men are welcome to desire whom they please (as is anyone). The point is interracial or interspecies . . . no relationship is free of pitfalls. We are all playing poker . . .



Are romances based on accepting people for who they are the beginning of a failed relationship?

My love is based on first impressions.



After that I get "future shock."



This one girl I picked based on her work habits and hair. She's conservative, ultra christian and I said to myself.



She's got a bed sheet with a hole in it and that's how we'll make babies, until then we'll sleep in different rooms.



I didn't care. I liked her.



Her politics are radical, she's a neo-Libertarian.



I didn't care.



She wants babies and that's always made me afraid.



No more.



She has narrow views on everything from eating to religion to policts.



I have to learn to live with that.



Her family is mixed racially.



Who cares.



You either LIKE the person or you don't.



That don't mean you like their religion, polictics, choice of food.



It means you LIKE the PERSON.



Her voice soothes me. It makes me feel good.



Her smile is hypnotic.



I calm down when I'm around her.



She's into her family and they are 10 handfulls and he's two hanfulls.



You either agree to accept this or you don't!



You either like THEM, not what they are or what they do, but THEM or you don't.



It's that simple.

Where can I find one of those hairslides with net on?

I'm looking for somewhere that sells those hair pieces, that have a comb slide and you put in in your hair and attached to it is a piece of net which hangs over on eye. I'm not sure what they're called. People sometimes where them to weddings and special occasions etc...



Where can I find one of those hairslides with net on?

had loads of these for my daughter till she had way too much hair to put in them.......found a lot of them at Claire's and a few of the beauty / hair shops.



I have also made them in the past to match certain outfits, very little effort and a glue gun...........

Styles for Women of Color?

I'm a creative writing student and have recently developed a female character who happens to be African-American. When I embarked on this journey I didn't really realize how difficult it would be for me to explain her appearance, knowing nothing about hair styles for women of color.



I don't want to be stereotypical or anything, but are there any good websites out there? I know there's not just a bunch of Beyonce's running around with hair pieces.



Is it possible to have wavy/curly hair one day and sleek/straight hair the next with the use of product and a straightner or is that a more long term change that needs to be done with a relaxer?



Any help/suggestions/nods in the right direction would be appreciated! :)



Styles for Women of Color?

Yes, it's very possible to have wavy/curly hair one day, and bone straight hair the next. I do it all the time. =)



All black people don't have the same hair type. I, for instance, am perm/relaxer free, and have Type 4a hair, which is kinky/coily hair. But, another black person could have 3c/4a hair, and their hair would also be coily, but more on the curly side.



**In case that was confusing, here's a site to explain: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/hairtyp...



As far as styles, it would depend on what you want to do. Relaxed or natural, depending on the length of hair, black women (or men) can pretty much achieve every style any other race of people can. So if you were to create a character who is natural, I'd suggest looking at these sites: http://www.deeplyrootedhair.com/natural....



* You can look at twist styles, natural styles, or braided styles.



http://www.ehairbraiding.com/2002/qony_1...



* Under "styles", simply click on the styles to view the pic.



Other sites: http://www.geocities.com/acebrit/stylin....



http://www.khamitkinks.com/Home.html



*Click on "gallery", then click on "natural", "weave", etc. Whichever styles you'd like to look at.



http://www.universalsalons.com/styles.as...



*This site has all kinds of styles; natural and non.



Oh, and when I say "natural", that just means relaxer/perm- free. Natural hair can be braided, in an afro, or bone straight (flat-ironed); any other, just not done with chemicals. Hair color excluded, of course. =)



As far as your character having relaxed hair, the majority of black women in the U.S. relax/perm their hair. ***Don't know if you wanted or even needed this info: But after about 4-12 weeks, depending on the individual, a touch-up is needed. A touch-up simply means relaxing the 1in. or more of "new growth" that is unrelaxed. It does cost money, $50 + to get a touch-up, but some women self-relax at home with box relaxers that cost under $10. (can be dangerous, though)



I hoped that help. And if you need any more information, you can send me a message, and I'll try to explain/help as much as I can. Good luck!

How much would you pay...?

I've been making various styles of jewelry, costume accessories, festival masks and actual costumes for a while now, and have begun planning to sell them, or take commissioned requests for things such as these.



I want to know how much people would be willing to pay for this type of stuff.



The jewelry I make is mostly leather, hemp, chain maile, earrings, hair pieces.



The masks are made for cosplaying, or by commissioned request.



Costume accessories like cat ears, tails, various other bits.



And the whole costumes are done by commission only.



So how much would you be willing to pay for any of these things?



Would you say price would be based on size, or style? Or maybe the time that went into the detail?



(And please keep it realistic; good leather is not that cheap, nor is anything else nowadays.)



How much would you pay...?

I am not sure on the detail you put into your work or what exactly it is so it is hard for me to say.



I would set my prices according to what the piece is and then if extras are added and it is extremely time consuming then it would be a bit more.



Can you go online and see the going rates for the things that you are making? Find comparable objects?



I would say necklaces range from $9 and up?



Cat ears and tails? $12 maybe?



I am not sure. Hope this works out for you though! SD



How much would you pay...?

i wouldn't pay anything or nor i would buy it



How much would you pay...?

you need to charge enough to cover the cost of the supplies you use and it does depend on the size and amount of time some pieces are more detailed. and it depends on the area you live in. you might want to look at different stores and swap meets that sell about the same items you do to get a better idea of prices. good luck. also you could check out eBay and sell them their or look up stuff for prices.



How much would you pay...?

YOU HAVE TO ACCOUNT THE AMOUNT YOUR PAYING FOR YOUR SUPPLIES AND INCLUDE ELECTRIC AND YOUR TIME AND ADD THEM TOGETHER IF TOTAL COST IS EG: 35,00



ADD 60% TO THAT WOULD GET YOU TO A TOTAL OF $116.00. SALE PRICE IF YOUR LOOKING TO SEE WHAT ARE OTHER PEOPLE CHARGING THEN GO TO TRADE SHOWS WERE THERE MIGHT BE PEOPLE SELLING THE SAME STUFF AND QUALITY AS YOU AND YOU CAN GET A BETTER IDEA. GOOD LUCK



How much would you pay...?

it depends on the complexity and difficulty of the product if you make it your self. The question is, how much are you worth? How much experience do u have?



How much would you pay...?

It would depend on the style, size and materials used. You'll have to cover your cost and time of course. Without seeing them it is hard to say. For the accessories/jewelery I would probably pay around $10 to $15, for the more elaborate ones a bit more, up to $25

Why, if dust is made from pieces of skin falling off, does it always look like (and collate into) sm

Dust is not just pieces of dead skin! In fact, the composition varies from house to house, but in general, you might find textile fibers, decomposing insect parts, pet dander, human and animal hair, food leftovers, pollen grains, mold spores, bacteria, skin flakes, insulation, sand, and the most likely offender, the dust mite and its fecal material.
