I've written two posts in the past explaining two different ways I've become my mother. You can read about them here. Well, just last week I did something with a tissue box that is EXACTLY what my mother does. She will get pretty tissue boxes, Christmas decorated boxes for example, and when the tissues run out, she will just refill the tissue box instead of buying a new one. Not to save money or anything like that, but because she likes the tissue box she has.
Well, I guess I'm partial to my tissue boxes, too, because I did this exact same thing last week. I'm finally getting around to decorating my guest bathroom and I really like the tissue box I have in there. It matches the décor and it's "kiddy-themed." I was really bummed when I ran out of tissues because I didn't know if I'd be able to find that same box again. And I really liked it. I looked at the store, but couldn't find that same box or any cute boxes like it. So I disgustingly bought a new plain box of tissues that I figured I would just make due with. I was really bummed about this! I didn't want the plain tissue box in the bathroom, I wanted the pretty, kiddy-themed, décor-matching tissue box I used to have. (I know, such a tortured life I live.)
When it came time to switch the empty box with the new box, I just couldn't do it. I thought about it for a while, and decided to just go for it and do what my mom does. So, I opened up the "ugly" tissue box, took out the tissues, very carefully opened the pretty tissue box, placed the tissues in the box, and taped the box up. It looks so pretty and I'm sure will make anyone's experience with blowing their nose in the bathroom much more enjoyable. :)
