2 of my must-have personal care travel items

Anyone who travels frequently has learned the value of toting ear plugs and eye masks along. But there are two other items that have long been part of travel must-haves.

I took my first flight to Europe about five years ago (I know...I know...late bloomer). Excited yet nervous, I set out to learn the best ways to maximize my comfort on long-haul flights. In addition to hydration with beverages, it appeared skin hydration was important too. So I filled a TSA-approved spray bottle with rose water. Those mid-air spritzes were so refreshing. Before long I carried rose water on all flights and even began spritzing my face daily. It's become something I 'can't live without.'

​My other must-have has helped me escape nicks or cuts when rummaging around in my toiletries bag. If I'm toting a razor, I've learned to secure a binder clip (is that the right name?) over the blade. Voila - quick and easy protection from injury!
