Desgin and Style with Kleenex

02/12/14 | C. Wonder, home decor, Sponsored

As you all know, for the past two weeks I have been on crutches.  While I only missed two days of work, besides crutching up and down my fourth floor walk-up, I have not left my apartment.  The one exception was Miss Karly Kim’s birthday brunch.  And if you missed the amazing story she wrote yesterday about how she defended my honor make suer you check it out.  That means I have been spending an incredible amount of time in my room and if I have to be there – why not make it pretty?

As Helene mentioned earlier this week, sometimes as a blogger you get certain perks and one of the latest is the ability to work with Kleenex.  To celebrate Kleenex’s 90th anniversary, they’re bringing you another innovative first: The Kleenex® Style Studio. It’s a fun, inspiring way to discover more of the Kleenex Brand designs and one of my favorites was the Cool Touch Upright – I liked it so much I bought two!

I put one on top of my dresser, as seen above.  I can see it from my propped up throne in bed where I have been crushing seasons of Downtown Abbey and House of Cards.  For when I do actually get out of bed the box is next to wear I put my makeup on (and yes, that is the from C. Wonder I had been obsessing over).  Goodness knows I blot enough lipstick to warrant a box of tissues right there.  It actually turns out that Kleenex started out as facial tissue for removing makeup – I think this is pushing it, I am partial to my Neutrogena wipes but for a touch up?  Absolutely!

I put the second box on my nightstand. With in arms reach of the throne I mentioned before.  It works perfectly with the blue color scheme I have going on.  I have to say though, I was a bit bummed when I went to my local drug store that they did not have any of my top-choice patterns.  Granted if I had crutched down the street two blocks to another I am sure they would have had them, but hey, I am on crutches! I know this is weird, but I am actually love quite a few of the geometric patterns they have and I could not forget to say thank you to Kleenex for sponsoring today’s post!

Between the cool blue box  and these half a dozen pretty prints I pleasantly surprised at the variety and innovation on the Kleenex Style Finder page. I spent a little too much time there but hey, with all of the Forbes articles site you should know I love facts and statistics – Kleenex has been in the Museum of Modern Art twice –  plus the cute patterns and the Kleenex Style Quiz.

Kleenex Style Finder Sweepstakes

And of course, the best kind of sponsored posts are the one that have giveaways!  As a want to be fashion blogger I was pretty pumped to find out there was a style quiz and even more when I scored a five out of five – try it for yourself! Once you are on the Kleenex Style Finder page click on “sweeps” tab in the top right corner of the page.  Then click “Play to Enter” and test your skills at choosing which one is actually the Kleenex design and which was on the catwalk.

So tell me, do you use Kleenex or do you use toilet paper/paper towel/whatever is closest? 
And if you don’t mind, would you mind answering this one question survey for Kleenex? Gracias!

    I love having a Kleenex box handy. In my office I have 3: one in use for myself which is easily reached, one back up, and one for visitors. Currently my box designs aren’t so adorable as those patterns! I’m gonna have to hunt down these adorable boxes! &I’m glad they started doing that because I don’t like tissue box covers..
