If you’re staying in one of the Morgans Hotels – the Sanderson, St Martins Lane , Delano, Mondrian Soho, or  Mondrian LA, you’ll find an amenities kit filled with an unexpected range of mind affirming goods. The School of Life worked with Morgans on the box which includes a writing kit (pencil and notebook), “two tailor-made reading prescriptions from The School of Life’s Bibliotherapists designed to evoke moods of relaxation or seduction,” Collected Thoughts Vol.1., and “250 cards featuring questions, quotations and provocations.” (curated)

Here’s an interesting take on the bar scene – MiniBar, a new establishment in Amsterdam, looks to take the wait out of bar socializing with a self serve deal. Whether there is a control to check on intoxication of the patrons is another issue, but damn, this is Amsterdam. How does it work you ask? “Customers leave a passport or driver’s license with a staff member and are given an ice bucket and a key to their bar. The numbered mini fridges fill an entire wall, and vary in size and content—guests can choose from beer bars, champagne bars and mixed bars. Like anold-fashioned food automat, the mini bars are stocked from the back, making for easy restocking and out-of-sight logistics.” (springwise)
