Day in the life: websites & skin care

Today I spent most of the day at home working on building websites including the Fantastic Mark's English Class Website. It's exciting to know that people are visiting. I get around 10 hits or more a day. I have people from different countries visit too. I built a forum as well, anyone including my family can use it. At www.getpowers.com/forum. Some of my other ideas are to get business cards with my web address printed on them. Since I meet many people in China, I can just pass the card out. People are generally interested in what I do. Amazingly. Also, since wherever I go, people look at me, I want to have hats and shirts printed with the GETPOWERS.COM name and future logo printed on it. Then I can even sell them online. My slogan could be... Bigger, Better, Stronger GETPOWERS.COM.

I went out later in the day for dinner, and then took a walk around. I saw a place that offered a deal on skin care so I checked it out. The skin on my face gets dry and feels like it will crack. Beijing can be very dry, even compared to Arizona. They said it was 60 minutes of skin care, moisturizing, mask, scalp massage for only 30 RMB or about $4 US dollars. I said ok, I'll give it a shot.

The lady cleaned my face and but put so much gook on it that I felt like I was being decorated like a birthday cake. Then they put that mask stuff on. First it feels good, then it dries and you can't even talk because your face feels like it's been plastered. Once they take all that stuff off it feels much better.
Anyway, once they are finished I figure out the catch. They try to get you to buy the products to take home and use. They begin an intense sales campaign telling you how much you need it and what a good deal it is. Finally, I was able to get out of there with my fresh feeling face and wallet in tact.
