Emotional Wellbeing

It’s Time to Soften Up, Embrace and WIN with Kleenex

I have always been one to wear my emotions on my sleeves. Yes both of them. In fact, I need my whole shirt because I have a lot [like A LOT] of emotions and I like to feel all of them. Lucky for me, I learned quite early on in life that keeping those things in is not good for your soul so I let ’em all out.

This means I go through tissues like it’s nobody’s business. I’m a crier you see. Happy tears, angry tears, frustrated tears and your everyday, garden variety sad tears. My eyes seem to always be leaking! If I softened up anymore I’d be a marshmallow.

My husband on the other hand is a very handsome, caring, loyal plank of wood. Seriously. In the twenty five years that I’ve known him, I have never seen a tear fall from his eyes. He once joked that he had his tear ducts surgically removed which made me laugh… but now I’m thinking maybe he wasn’t joking.

It seems that he is in the 72% of Australians who admit to hiding their emotions. Who even has the energy for that?

Kleenex is aiming to Soften Up Australia by encouraging us to get in touch with our emotions and openly embrace our softer side.

They have 25 of the sweetest Soften Up Kits that you could WIN for someone you think deserves recognition for their soft touch. Included in this little parcel of lovin’ is:
