Gorging on hotel beauty products
Staying in a hotel means plush bath robes, comfy beds and fifty dollar breakfasts, but it also means an opportunity to “sample” (read: steal) all the mini beauty offerings. I look forward to staying in some hotels more than others, like the W, which carries Bliss, just for their bath products. At the Jumeirah Essex House (maybe the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in), the bathrooms had Cornelia Day Resort products, which isn’t too damn shabby. I promptly swept the bathroom, putting every single bottle of shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion in my bag, and have been working my way through them at home. Verdict: luxurious, and nicely unisex, but not totally cheap, as each product is around $35. (Although, for me, you can’t beat Jo Malone and Diptyque when it comes to unaffordable but still SO worth it luxury!)
