Just for laughs

So I was mighty chuffed when I spotted a New York Times article on how hotels are increasingly beginning to offer "designer" toiletries to attract customers, published May 29, 2012. You can check out the full article here

I have to say I am rather disappointed by the rather uninspired headline "Hotels Upgrade Beauty Products", although the article is a lovely breeze to read.

For all the flak that we get for supposedly riding on trends that start elsewhere, at least sometimes, we get there first. Heehee. So just for fun, here's my Singapore version of the story on hotels that offer cool beauty products in their rooms. It was published about nine months ago on Aug 28, 2011.

If you're traveling soon, you may want to check out the hotels under the Como group. There's the Metropolitan in Bangkok, Uma Ubud in Bali and Uma Paro in Bhutan, just to name a few. I absolutely adore their in-house brand of Como Shambhala toiletries, which smell simply divine. It's a blend of scents but I can pick up lavender most strongly. Yes, I'll admit that I nicked a few sets while I was at Uma Paro recently to bring home as souvenirs!
