Narita Airport Guilty Pleasures

Being an avid traveller I deal a lot with luggage losses, delays and sometimes long layovers. There’s one airport I never mind waiting at. It’s Narita in Tokyo. Walking around is an experience in its kind no matter how many times I go there, a mini taste of Tokyo. I always have my favorite udon shrimp tempura, stock up on Shiseido products at the Narita Duty Free and head to the free internet Yahoo lounge.

Most of us can admit there is stuff we spend too much money on or too often. I definitely have to say one of "this stuff" is lotions. This is me usually at Narita (I’m after the 14h JFK-NRT flight)…

 

So this is my bathroom shelf

I can admit my shelf is a bit much. However I’m not as extreme as those buying La Prairie Cellular Cream Platinum Rare. The lotion does contain platinum but a jar of it is $1,000 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Besides over-stocking up on lotions my other "addiction" (or guilty pleasure, hahaha) at Narita is buying little cellphone charms. I don’t put them on my phone but attach them to my bags.

My Marc by Marc Jacobs handbag got a bit overcrowded
