Woohoo, what fun! As a cool perk of blogging, I was given a 30-day supply of Ponds Towelettes in Original Clean formula to review! If you want to read about the ingredients and why these work the way they do, click here...and you can also get a $1.50 off coupon!
It was suggested that I keep the towelettes in my gym bag and use them to clean my face after I workout. Well, as my car is my gym bag, that's where the towelettes went, along with my weight gloves and sweatband (yes, I'm rocking the Olivia Newton-John look, circa 1982...very fashionable).
Now, normally I workout and then go home to shower, except sometimes I take a detour to the grocery store or Target - hey, it's 9 am and yes I look like a sweaty mess, but these stores are right on the way home and sometimes it's just easier to get those errands out of the way early! I have to say that it was really handy to have the little packet of the Pond's Towelettes in my car, where I could grab one and quickly freshen up by wiping my face (and hands) clean. They have a very light fragrance...it was just enough to notice, but not strong enough to bother me like a lot of other skincare products scents do - what can I say, I'm sensitive!
Anyway, I started using them, and I have to say that I like them. It's been a few weeks and I've gotten into the habit of cleaning my face right after I workout, which I'm sure my skin is thanking me for. Better than driving home with the sweat drying on my face, then fixing my protein shake, reading the newspaper (and sometimes a few blogs) before finally jumping into the shower...um, I'm sure you are all interested in my morning routine, right? Not so much? Well, OK then...let's jump to the fun part - the giveaway!
I have a 30-day supply of Pond's Towelettes to give to one lucky reader, and all you have to do to enter is leave me a comment telling me what your middle name is. What can I say - I'm curious how many Ann's and Diane's there are among us (I'm thinking a lot)! U.S. residents only; contest ends Thursday night at 10 pm (CDT); winner will be randomly selected and announced on Friday (interwebs-willing). Good luck!
It makes me giggle when people say interwebs.
ReplyDeleteMy middle name is SO boring... Marie. ugh.
I'm a Marie too.
ReplyDeleteWhen I do the 3-Day, I use those wipes and when I was on the crew, we kept them in a cooler full of ice. I can't tell you how even more amazing those things are when they are ice cold! They should sponsor the 3-Day and have coolers full at ever rest stop for the walkers.
Hope you have a great week!!
I'm an "Ann"
ReplyDeleteI'm one of the many, many Marie's out there.
ReplyDeleteI love all those pre-moistened facial wipes. I take them on vacation instead of my regular cleanser. No worries about leaking that way.
I love the Ponds Towelettes! I use them anytime I wear makeup (which unfortunately has not been very often these days).
ReplyDeleteMiddle name - Lea (pronounced Lee).
I'm an addict of antibacterial wipes, but having tried those! I'll have to give them a try.

ReplyDeleteAnd my middle name is Theresa...after my grandmother!
I never equated Pond's with clean, since my experience with it was the thick cold cream my grandma used to smear on my face as a kid. I just assumed those towelettes would be greasy.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm intrigued.
And I don't think you're nearly as bad as other people wandering around the aisles in the morning. Take my husband for example....
And my middle name is Jean.
I'm outside the US, so don't include me.

ReplyDeletePOD Marie.
That's lovely.
Did you commit to using them for the whole 30 days? This seems like something we don't really need that they are trying to make us need.
Like makeup!
;-)
Hey Shelley--I have given you a blog award. Thanks for sharing your journey. You have to come by my blog to get it.
ReplyDeleteDoncha love getting stuff to try and review?
ReplyDeleteMy middle name is Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteThe Pond's Towelettes sound really convenient - I do the same reading thing for a while after my workouts, and I'm sure my skin would agree with yours that cleaner faster is better ;)
Good morning!
ReplyDeleteI am sure I am the only one with this middle name...Vermelle! I was named after my aunt.
