So far I’ve enjoyed two of those so-pretty-they’re-kitschy blue-into-orange sunsets like we just don’t get over the Atlantic; one deeply gratifying afternoon of inspecting Abbot-Kinney Boulevard in Venice’s many excellent shops (damage done; details later) and, best of all, the company of the most charming, brand spanking new baby to enter my family in quite some time. Oh, and my hotel—it’s perfectly great: nice service, skinny mirrors in the elevators—no complaints at all. Except for one.
Behold the beauty product minibar. I don’t know how much longer I can be expected to hold out. Evil, evil genius.
Uh oh. I wrote about that Kai body lotion here (http://looksgoodfromtheback.blogspot.com/2013/01/winter-skin-stuff-whether-youre.html) and I’m addicted to the scent. Imagine my sadness when I looked up the lotion and found that it ran $50 a bottle (mine was a gift). I have to ration it now.
Okay, but what does it smell like? From the packaging I might guess that it is one of those light, tea scented lotions, or thereabouts. Which I am over. I am almost ready for a nice little backlash against all this yoga-y stuff. Though, I do think yoga is magic — I guess I just don’t want to hear any more about it, if that makes sense.
It’s floral, but not cloying. Vaguely tropical. I can’t really put my finger on it, but it’s awfully nice during this dreary time of year.
Oooh, that sounds lovely, actually. Tropical is a good category. Thanks!
Congrats on the new family member!
Where, oh where are you staying?! Such fabulous amenities should be mandatory at all hotels!
And to answer Viejera’s question, I think the overwhelming scent is gardenia – I have the oil rollerball and I LOVE it! Such a delightful and fresh scent.
Wonderful, thanks!
Welcome to LA! I would tell you more places to shop….but that would be evil of me. Congrats on the new relation
Enjoy your stay, our somewhat chilly winter , and remember its always coldest inside one of those charming spanish style bungalows for some reason (strange but true)
I have a pretty good idea where you’re staying, but I’ll respect your privacy.
Enjoy and mazel mazel on the newest MOT!
