Working as a customer service representative at Hunt Auctions in Exton, Hayley Ninnis has become an expert in sports memorabilia. In 2018, she received a master’s degree in leadership development from Penn State University. Hayley Ninnis is an aspiring certified power vinyasa yoga teacher and is receiving training at Malvern, Pennsylvania.
Although many people view yoga as a form of physical therapy and exercise, it can also serve as meditation. The history and development of yoga are rooted in exercising the mind, spirit, and body. Historians believe yoga moves stem from ancient asana practices meant to prepare the body for meditation. The first step in transforming yoga sessions into meditation is to choose a mantra. This mantra could be a word or phrase representing goals, assurances, or any other purposeful intention. The next step is to focus on breathing. Adopting breathing exercises during stretches has soulful benefits as well as physical ones. Here the intention is to slowly inhale and exhale through the nose, releasing stress and overburdening thoughts with every exhale. This technique is called the ujjayi breath meaning ocean or victorious breath. Furthermore, it is vital to take sessions slowly. Yoga is a relaxing endeavor that one should not rush through. Switch poses and positions slowly in a manner that comes naturally to you.

Based in Pennsylvania, Hayley Ninnis is a Hunt Auctions customer service representative who also creates original clothing and accessories. Passionate about organic gardening, Hayley Ninnis has a particular interest in hydroponic techniques that conserve water and can be done in a limited space. This form of agriculture makes use of mineral solutions rather than soil.
One basic hydroponic approach is the floating raft system, which delivers plant growth through a balanced nutrient solution dissolved in water. The basic structure is a basin (for example, an opaque 10 gallon plastic storage bin) that contains the water solution and a raft that allows the plants to float on the surface. The raft is typically a polystyrene sheet that has had rows of half-inch holes made in it, spaced about three to four inches apart. With fast-developing leafy greens ideal, plant starts are slipped into each hole, such that the roots (but not the leaves) are immersed in the water. Oxygen flow is provided through an air stone, pump, and tubing system similar to in an aquarium in order to generate bubbles. At the same time, a teaspoon of Epsom salts and two teaspoons of water-soluble plant fertilizer are added for each gallon of water. This solution is completely replaced every two to three weeks, with untreated water used to top off in between. With this simple hydroponic system in place, tasty leafy greens can regularly be harvested. A resident of West Chester, Pennsylvania, Hayley Ninnis earned a master of arts in leadership development from Pennsylvania State University. Outside of her professional pursuits, Hayley Ninnis pursues hobbies that include yoga, gardening, hula hooping, and baking. She has recently taken an avid interest in creating stained glass art.
Creating windows and art objects from colored glass requires cutting glass into precise shapes with a glass cutter. Artists can choose from various tools, a simple hand-held pencil style or pistol grip cutter, or even a band saw. These tools can make difficult cuts simply and accurately, saving time and avoiding breakage. Without precise cutting, the finished stained glass piece will look less polished. Before cutting into the glass, artists use the mini-wheel portion of the cutter to “score” the glass. This prevents breaking and gives them a clear idea of where they will cut. To lubricate the glass during cutting, most artists also apply glass cutting oil to help the glass break correctly along scored lines. A graduate of Pennsylvania State University, Hayley Ninnis is currently a customer service representative at Hunt Auctions. She is also interested in glassblowing, and attended two courses at East Falls Glassworks, Philadelphia, PA. Additionally, Hayley Ninnis is interested in baseball and supports the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory.
Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory is an organization that builds baseball bats and cherishes baseball history in Louisville, Kentucky. The museum features many events and exhibitions for people from around the world. One of these exhibitions is dedicated to Jim Thorpe and is entitled Triumph & Tragedy: The Greatness of Jim Thorpe. The exhibition began on July 8th, 2021, and continues until February 20th, 2022. Jim Thorpe was an US Olympic athlete who competed at the decathlon and pentathlon and earned gold medals in 1912. However, his medals were stripped away after the International Olympic Committee learned that he played semi-professional baseball, a disqualifier from competition as he was not an amateur athlete. At the above exhibition, people can learn more about Jim Thorpe’s life and achievements, in addition to news about people who petition for restoring Jim’s Olympic medals. Hayley Ninnis works with Hunt Auctions in Exton, Pennsylvania, as a customer service representative. Her duties include registering bidders for the auction process and researching items for additional information such as dates of production and the manufacturer. With training in leadership development from Penn State University, Hayley Ninnis also hopes to become a psychologist and is interested in integrative yoga therapy (IYT).
Yoga therapy covers a spectrum of therapeutic modalities that incorporate elements from psychotherapy and physical therapy. For example, the yoga therapist will explain how each yoga pose and exercise alleviates your concern, thereby connecting the cognitive framework and practice. IYT uses all yoga elements to therapeutic effect for the mind, body, and spirit. IYT has therapeutic benefits for the body and also rejuvenates the spirit for a renewed attitude on life. Integrative yoga therapy classes are usually conducted in small groups or taught one-to-one to allow the teacher to personalize the meditation and exercises to the specific student needs. Hayley Ninnis has an MA in leadership development from Penn State University. A customer service representative at Hunt Auctions in Exton, Pennsylvania, she documents and tracks customer concerns to improve the customer experience. She is also responsible for scheduling item pick-ups and consignor statements. Among her hobbies, Hayley Ninnis enjoys developing exotic plants for indoor gardens.
Indoor plants are popular among homeowners because their care is relatively easy. However, for exotic or tropical plants, you may need to take special care. To get the best out of your indoor exotic or tropical plants, here are three care tips. 1. Fertilizer requirements Houseplants, unlike those outdoors, don’t benefit from a regular nutrient replenishment unless they are regularly fertilized. The indoor environment denies them some natural nutrients and they may need some fertilizer. 2. Soil type Although most indoor plants are not picky, some exotic plants such as orchids and bromeliads may require special soil. Therefore, do some research for the specific indoor plants you are keeping, especially before repotting them. 3. Plant repotting Plants tend to outgrow their pots, necessitating repotting. The process of repotting is best done over the spring. When repotting, take care to avoid damaging the root system. Before uprooting, carefully firm the soil around the plant’s root ball without excessively compacting the soil. Remember to leave ample room at the top of the new pot container for watering. Maintaining a popular site dedicated to everything vintage on Etsy, Hayley Ninnis has a longstanding interest in fashion from various eras. One distinctive piece offered by Hayley Ninnis on Etsy is a Vivienne Westwood Anglomania mohair blend jacket from the 1990s.
A groundbreaking designer with roots in the 1970s punk culture, Vivienne Westwood was known for provocative works that drew from a wide range of periods and styles. An example was a Pirate shirt from 1981 that took a curved motif from African textiles and combined it with the silhouette form common in 17th century British portraiture. Another signature item was the kilt, which Westwood used in men’s pieces as a way of breaking down gender stereotypes. In 1993-1994, she re-envisioned the kilt as an elegant piece of women’s fashion, with a specific pattern manufactured in the historic Scottish textile mill Locharron. It is in this tradition of fine blended weaving which the mohair jacket, from Angora wool, embodies. Vivienne Westwood’s practical sense of design and craftsmanship is demonstrated in the gray and charcoal jacket, which features an accompanying scarf. As a customer service representative with Hunt Auctions, Hayley Ninnis performs duties that range from maintaining client accounts and spearheading sales initiatives to conducting research and sourcing credentials to authenticate acquired items. Hayley Ninnis also offers clothing items for sale on Etsy.
An example of her offerings is a vintage Burberry of London cap comprised of wool, cashmere, and angora. Made in Scotland, this plaid hat dates back to the late 1900s. The inside diameter of this hat measures 22.5 inches. To keep the hat in excellent condition, owners should dry clean it only. An experienced customer service representative, Hayley Ninnis has personal interests that range from hot power yoga to stained glass art. Since 2018, Hayley Ninnis has registered bidders and performed other client-facing functions for Hunt Auctions in Exton, Pennsylvania.
Through her Etsy page, she offers a vintage brown felt hat from Chanel. Although the hat is labeled as large, she has determined that its 24-inch diameter interior circumference may fit customers that normally wear a medium-sized hat. Dating back to the 1980s, this French-made hat still has its original hangtag. Its dark brown cotton and polyester ribbon provides a striking accent against a felt background of highly textured lighter brown felt. Hayley Ninnis is a customer service representative at Hunt Auctions, where she registers bidders for sports memorabilia auctions and responds to all customer inquiries, among other responsibilities. This past June, Hayley Ninnis helped organize the Hunt Auctions event at Yankee Stadium, which featured a record-breaking sale.
The item that made headlines at the event was a Babe Ruth New York Yankees jersey. It sold for $5.64 million, which broke the previous record for the most expensive piece of sports memorabilia. Coincidentally, the previous record belonged to a Ruth jersey from 1920 that sold for $4.4 million. The jersey sold at the recent auction was from 1928-30 and was part of a larger collection of items related to "The Great Bambino." A member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Ruth began his baseball career with the Boston Red Sox in 1914 and played with the Yankees from 1920 to 1934. The seven-time World Series winner led all MLB players in home runs in 12 separate seasons. He retired in 1935 with 714 home runs, 2,214 RBI, and a .342 batting average. He's also the league's all-time leader in slugging percentage (.690) and on-base plus slugging percentage (1.164). |
