A Guide to Rome for Shopping Trips_1754
For jewellery lovers, Via Condotti is home to the famous Italian jeweller Bvlgari. The products on offer range from Italian jewellery to perfumes, leather handbags, and silk scarves.
If they love us they will want to protect us. Others may think it's best for us to take a more conventional route or do things the way they did.Each person is a unique individual with their own set of life situations and challenges. If we listen to and take on board negative comments of others, we're bound to struggle to achieve our goals. We must have belief in ourselves, determination and adopt a success strategy that works for us. We must be clear about why we're doing this and what the outcome will be. Share your goals with people who will support you, encourage you and be inspired by you. Keep focusing on the 'why' and the outcome. This is another reason why deciding to have a coach can be crucial to your success. A good coach will keep you on track, will believe in you and will encourage you to dig deep to find the solutions to your action steps. It is a powerful union.9th Step
Markets are to be found scattered throughout Rome. The Sunday flea market is hugely popular, and items from all over the world can be found at the Porta Portese Piazza. Whether you need jewelry, clothes, toys, or books, you'll likely find something that interests you here at a huge bargain. Don't forget to barter as the cost of items is usually fully negotiable. Similar markets like the Via Sannio near San Giovanni are open throughout the week.
When walking through Rome, take a stroll down the Via dei Coronari for a glimpse at antique stores and ##################. October and May are special months where an antique fair is held every year on this street. Even if you don't buy anything, it's well worth the trip to browse through and see what's available.
If you prefer the convenience (and air conditioned comfort) of a mall, then head to the Gallerina Alberto Sordi. All manner of items are sold here, including chocolate, music, and books. Since many goods are imported, do check labels for production location if you want an authentic Italian product. At the heart of the mall is a bar and café to relax after a long day of shopping.
Tourists that come from outside Europe (i.e. non-resident non-Europeans) can get a refund of Value Added Tax. This amount can range from 12% to 35% and the purchase amount must exceed EUR155, all spent in the same store. Only certain stores offer this feature so be sure to look for a sign in the window that indicates it is tax free. Either the refund is provided at the store or you would need to apply at the Customs Office of the Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport of Fiumicino. You can also apply by post. The purchased items must be in their original boxes, and you should carry all relevant receipts. The application procedure at the airport may take a while, so it is advisable to get an early start.
There's more to Rome than churches and cathedrals, and since it wasn't built in a day, you shouldn't expect to see all there is to see in a day. Shopping in Rome is an experience to be enjoyed over a few days so you can be sure to get the best bargains.
What will you do to remind yourself daily of your goals and your commitment to yourself? Some clients of mine choose to write themselves a statement which they keep in their wallet or handbag which they look at each day. It could be something such as:"It is 3rd January 2020 and I am sitting on my porch of my dream beach house with my loving partner, watching the sun setting over the ocean. We are sipping cocktails and planning our next holiday together. We feel healthy, safe and secure. I live in abundance of all good things and my life is perfect."It is important that this statement is personal, set in the future with a date and conjures up the feeling you will have once you are living the life you have designed.
