Say Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes

Hello Lovelies! 

Spring break is next week, and I've begin packing for a family ski trip to Colorado. Mentioned a little Here

When traveling I, admittedly, get a little lazy with my skin care routine. Also, I don't generally pack my entire skin care routine, because of the liquid limitations for carry ons. 

Enter Facial Towelettes. 
Specifically Say Yes to Cucumbers
Soothing
Hypoallergenic Facial Towelettes

I picked up the travel size, which contains 10 towelettes, perfect for a week away. 
[You will also notice, they are paraben-free and 98% natural!]

Can I just say I love these things? 
Is that too much, too soon?

I'm not generally a fan of face wipes, as I feel like they either dry out my skin or leave a residue on my face. 
These on the other hand, leave my face feeling great. 
The biggest problem is that my boyfriend loves them more than I do... 

*On a side note, these are not makeup removing wipes, and while they do pretty great with foundation and other face makeup, they're a little intimidated by mascara.

Some questions for you:

What are you favorite facial Towelettes?
and
Do stay true to your skin care routine when traveling?

Monday Mornings

Good morning Lovelies, 

I know my usual mondays contain some harping on the evils of monday mornings, but in reality...

So even though I still think Monday mornings are awful, horrible things. 
I'd take a monday morning, with everything it could throw at me over someone else's problems. 

Enjoy your woke up late, can't find your keys, spilled coffee on your white shirt monday. 

[and please share]
What gets you through Monday?
