The Long Weekend in pictures

Happy Easter! Chag Sameach! Or just happy long weekend! And, if you’re lucky enough to be in Las Vegas for the annual rockabilly festival, Viva Las Vegas! This long weekend has been just what the doctor ordered: time for rest, recuperation, and spending time with family.

A Little Piece of History in Every Home: Tupperware turns 69

This is not a sponsored post. I just love Tupperware.

Fact: I have been a Tupperware demonstrator, twice. I would do it again too if I could carry/wheel the products to a demonstration. I was not quite 19 when I went to my first Tupperware demonstration, and not long after was when I became a demonstrator. It’s the only Plastic Fantastic I have, that I will always love, and to be honest, I love it so much I could sell it underwater with a mouthful of marbles!

Help a girl out?

Alexie RicRac is on its way to becoming a business, and I need your help! I have to write a business plan and part of that business plan requires me to do market research. What better way to get some responses than to ask my blog followers!

If you’ve got a spare 5-10 minutes, I’d love it if you are able to complete my survey. There’s 10 questions so it shouldn’t take you too long at all. Please feel free to pass the survey on to people who you think might be interested in buying quality vintage and/or used goods.

The day I got my life back: Why I gave up Facebook

Facebook: Some people love it, others hate it, and then there are those who – like me – are sucked in by it but don’t know what they’re actually doing there. It was great for keeping in touch with family and friends overseas or interstate who I might not get to see so often, as well as keeping my finger on the pulse for all uni matters. And let’s not forget the fact that there is Alexie RicRac and Little Goldfish, both of which I am trying to build a social media presence for. So why then did I decide to give up Facebook?

New Directions

First, I promise you that this post is not about the hit American TV show Glee (I’ll admit now I am a fan though). It really is about a new direction for Alexie RicRac. It’s not so much a new direction as it is a step closer to turning this blog into the dream I have for Alexie RicRac. Today I start a new chapter in the Alexie RicRac story.

And we’ll never be lonely any more….

On 25 May 2014, my life became a whole lot sweeter: The Mister got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. He arranged a photo shoot with our friend who is an amateur photographer with Vinnie calling me a week before to arrange, telling me he was doing an assignment of couples for his photography club.

15 Vintage Girl Problems

Sleeping in pin curls is the darndest thing!

The Tootsie Rollers

1. You expect every kiss to be like this…

V-J Day in Times Square by Alfred Eisenstaedt

Gone with the Wind

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

2. And every dance to be like this…

3. You’re always overdressed.

4. You’re still learning to master the art of sleeping in pin curls without being awoken by a stabbing pin.

 

5. Kirbi-grips; you love them & your partner hates them. You buy a new pack at least once a week – where do they all go?!

6. You’re highly flammable. Hairspray is your daily companion.

7. You spend a lot of time with your arms in the air. Who needs the gym when you have an arm toning vintage hairstyling regime?

8. You will never have enough storage space…

9. You mourn the well dressed man everyday. They can keep ‘The Skinny Jean Wearing Metrosexual’ and ‘Mr Man Bun’…
