When you’re fortunate enough to spend time in a hotel, you have to admit that you probably behave just a little bit differently than you would in your “normal life.”
Go ahead and fess up. It wouldn’t be at all surprising if you skipped down the hallway when no one was looking or you used your bed as a pre-dinner trampoline. Perhaps your unbridled joy revolves exclusively around drying off with six different towels following your luxurious one-hour shower, oh, just because.
No better example of this reckless hotel abandon exists than with our attitude toward the freebie body products that beckon us from their neat little pedestal on the bathroom sink. Tiny, little soaps, shampoos and conditioners. Oh, look at how adorable they are, and so artfully arranged. From the moment that we lovingly gaze upon them, we decide right then and there that it should — no, must — be our personal mission to sample all of them, no matter how clean or well moisturized our bodies already are.
Then, this is how the sordid and soapy event ultimately plays out. Even if we’ve only used one-quarter of the Zen-bestowing organic lemongrass and ginger cleanser the first time around (which is the equivalent of just under 1 ounce of actual fluid product), the hotel-itus we’re afflicted with literally compels us to reach for a brand new mini-bottle the next time around.
If the gods have cursed us with a measly one-night stay, then we lather up with the moisturizing passion fruit and goat’s milk bar to such a recklessly wasteful extent that it takes at least another 24 hours for the bubbles to finally disappear down the drain.
