Driving the Big Two

I couldn’t believe it when I walked into the Venetian Resort that there were literally hallmarks of Venice… Saint Mark’s Square, Rialto Bridge, replica of the Venice streets and river meandering through them with gondolas and their gondoliers singing to their occupants. I have been to Venice three times, once when I was 16, a day trip with Abbie in 2007 (I think) and more recently. I couldn’t believe the detail of this reconstruction nor the painted sky! However, this one has no fear of sinking due to the effects of climate change!

But as we walked through the wee streets, I was cajoled by a beauty assistant into trying their collagen natural product. Such was the state of my eyes puffy from lack of sleep, travelling and dare I say it, age 😂 Handed over to her colleague one eye was given the treatment… the other eye left alone to show the effect of their miracle cream. All through the treatment, she gave me the sales pitch and pricing… for the normal price of $350, I could have it for $250 and it would last a whole year. Yes, I could see a difference… then she reduced it to $200. Well, that did it… if someone can’t give the best price first, it’s not worth it! And I walked away, one eye improved. 😂

Turned into another street and there was another beauty shop also selling collagen products. After pleasantries and me explaining what the other lady had done, this shop assistant insisted that she would give her collagen treatment to the other eye and explained that she would never do that to a customer!

I left thinking… ladies, it’s not what you look like on the outside, but who you are in the inside. Get that right and you can shine and be a help to many. Anyway, I don’t think I look bad for 83🤣🤣🤣En savoir plus
