Today, I went to the Kaya Skin Clinic to get my skin assessed by a Dermatologist. She told me that my skin looked older then 24, and she recommended Botox and two salicylic peals. “Botox, huh. You mean the cream, right?!” “No, you need the injections – about 54 units under your eyes and on your forehead.” “How much is this going to cost?” “About 400$ - and it will last approximately 6 months” “Ummm… Thank you, but no thank you – I will refrain myself from smiling and laughing so much. It’s cheaper.” After I discussed my skin type with the Dermatologist, I spoke to the Sales Manager about different packages. Funny, sales pitches are the same in India as they are in Canada. The big difference in India is you can bargain EVERYWHERE – even in stores and spas - and bargain I did. Toot toot… I’m tooting my own horn. I got 50% off several of the creams and two salicylic peals. I went from 200$ to about 90$.
Tomorrow, morning Nitya, her mother, and I are going to Mussoorie, India. http://www.livingpictures.org/Mussoorie.htm We will be leaving our house in New Delhi at 4a.m. and should arrive 5 hours later. Mussoorie is a hill station in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains. I am terribly excited. I will be staying at the Claridges Nabha Hotel http://www.heritagehotelsofindia.com/india/uttaranchal/mussoorie/the-claridges-nabha.html While I am there my goals are to relax, breath fresh mountain air, hike, and buy Tibetan prayer flags. We will be returning on Monday.
