Kleenex Necklace

My mom and I had a running joke before she died about making a Kleenex necklace.
After every sneeze she would go get a Kleenex, only to return to a kiddo who had wiped their boogers on their arm… or shirt… or the couch… or a sibling… you know, just being real.
She would say the folks at Kleenex should make a necklace for moms to wear so they would always have a tissue on hand for runny noses.
While the Kleenex necklace has never caught on, they have upped their chic factor with the Kleenex Style Studio.
Cute stuff.
Kleenex sponsored me to do a bit of styling for their new designs, so in honor of my mom I’m going to show how I use the new Go Packs ($2.99 for 8) around the house and out and about, so you will always have a tissue when you need it!kleenex go pack

I keep one in the kitchen junk drawer. Can I just say that my junk drawer cracks me up.
I did not stage this!
Like 5 pairs of scissors (including a broken pair), glow bracelets, water balloons, pens, an ink pad, my ‘thank you’ stamp that I like to stamp on random things, broken stuff that need to be hot glued (I keep the hot glue gun in the back of the drawer), crochet hooks and a lint roller. We haven’t used that lint roller in at least 6 years. I even tried to throw it away after this picture but I couldn’t because if we ever do need it, I want it ready.
I’m insane.
Oh, and you can just see my Christmas flannel Pajamas that I wear year round.

I pop one in each of the kiddos’ backpacks. I’m not even sure they know they are there.
I should probably tell them.

Kleenex Go Packs

I keep a Kleenex Go Pack in my purse too. I choose a bright color so I can find it fast.
Again, not staged. I took this after a trip through the McDonalds drive through for a Frape (those things are crack). Toys, receipts, cash, rainbow loom stuff and my red lipstick… which I wear everyday because it makes it look like I tried.
True story.

And I keep them with my Park Workout gear now because it never fails that snot is dripping into their mouths in the middle of a hard exercise.

This Valentines Day, I even included a stylish Go Pack with our teacher’s valentines!
Sticky note pads with “It’s well NOTED, you are a fantastic teacher!” written on them.
Simple.

The Kleenex Style Studio is sure to make your current tissue box eyesore fit into any home décor. Though, I guess I could single handedly try to get the Kleenex necklace fad to take off!

You never know…

    Hey Kara, I’m a huge fan of the travel packs too, and I love the Kleenex necklace idea! My daughter is the same way about wiping boogers on anything but a tissue *sigh*. It must be a kid thing! Oh, and I’m in love with the hats in your shop… the fedorables? Adorable! And the snowboarder lids? Perfect! Anyway, thanks for stopping by my site… so glad you did and I found you!

    love these little travel packs…a few months ago I attended a funeral and they had sitting on the benches several of these packs for the attending guests I thought it was such a nice thoughtful gesture. xo

    Thanks for sharing your story – with three boys I need a Kleenex necklace too. 🙂 My story was about the boxes we use at home but I love those to go packs and this reminds me that I need to buy more. Pronto.
    (oh, and that I need to dig my red lipstick out of the bottom of my purse).
    Have a great weekend! xo
