So this “corporate housing” thing? Kind of weird. And cool.
I’ve lived in pre-furnished apartments before (the first two summers that my ex Rob and I lived in Los Angeles, during my breaks before my freshman and sophomore years of college, we lived in a place called Oakwood Apartments that’s known for Murphy beds and more out-of-work actors than you can possibly imagine in one spot) but this is different.
Basically, where we’re living is an ordinary apartment complex – the kind people rent independently, furnish independently, et cetera – but a company came in before we arrived and filled it with furniture from a warehouse. And there are odd little hotel-y elements like a cleaning service that comes every couple of weeks to replace the sheets and towels…which is GREAT…but even better?
The crew also leaves behind mini bottles of shampoo, conditioner…and THIS (Archive Rosehips & Lavender Lotion).
I’m actually not big on hotel samples – I’m sort of wedded to my own products and take them with me when I travel, because I rarely love what hotel-room shampoos and conditioners do to my hair…or maybe it’s just the water in different locations? Either way, I don’t use them – but this stuff? I’ve seen it before at various hotels I’ve stayed in, and when I spotted it in our bathroom here I was SO EXCITED.
It smells like paradise on toast, and Archive really needs to start selling full-size bottles of it, please (I’ve found it online, but only in lots of travel size bottles; the company appears to be a hotel supplier only).
