the adventures of dos tortas

“Reduce swelling, eliminate wrinkles, lift sagging lids, here let me show you how.”

I was winding my way through Cancún airport when this gorgeous woman came on strong (it’s been years since I’ve been able to say that!)

Before I could bat a puffy lid, she was dabbing something under one eye and pushing a mirror at me to demonstrate the “miraculous” difference.

Of course I couldn’t see a thing and not because it didn’t work, although I have my doubts but because I’m blind without my glasses.

With flawless skin and perfect English she thrust a sample in my hand and continued her siren’s song, inviting me to her counter to experience an age defying miracle. My response,

“I don’t care!”

She looked confused. “But don’t you want to…look younger?”

“Nope. I’m good.”

She sputtered as I walked away. Actually I wheeled away, as my walking days are currently on hiatus.

I think I retired with the money I have NOT spent on beauty supplies. For giggles I looked up her products. They started at $400 and added a one on the front for moisture and glow.

For me, making peace with aging starts in the mirror. The sagging skin and thickening middle defy all effort to change. And believe me I’ve tried. At this point it’s appearance zero, health everything. So I’ll keep my wrinkles and my money, thank you very much! “I DON’T CARE.
