On CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight, Janet Jackson talked at length about her constant struggle with self-esteem and body image. The interview, which aired on Tuesday evening, is a revealing look into Janet's past and coincides with the release of her new book True You — part memoir, part advice book on dealing with the pressures surrounding body image.

Besides describing her own struggles with weight and body image, Janet gave a revealing look into the extreme lengths that celebrities endure to maintain their weight: "Some of the stories I hear . . . I'm not going to name names (but) this is the worst. Eating tissue, Kleenex, so it fills the stomach. So you're full. So you don't want another bite to eat and so that's what you eat."

Janet admits to only hearing the stories secondhand, but the idea of anyone eating tissue for weight loss is both shocking and sad. It's also a reminder of the unnecessary lengths many individuals put themselves through to look a certain way.

Along with meeting your nose's needs, there are lots of beauty uses for Kleenex, and that's why I usually keep a travel-sized pouch in my bag — although after a few weeks, it looks a little sad, beat-up, dirty, and deflated.

Along with meeting your nose's needs, there are lots of beauty uses for Kleenex, and that's why I usually keep a travel-sized pouch in my bag — although after a few weeks, it looks a little sad, beat-up, dirty, and deflated. There's something classy about having a lipstick case in your purse, and there's something kind of old-school about having a pocket-sized tissue holder, too. That's why I went looking for some mini-sized finds, from the whimsical to those monogrammed vintage-style. Whether you call it a case, a cozy, or a holder, here are a few pouches to keep your stash of tissue from getting all bunched up.

Other Ways to Use Kleenex For Beauty

Did you know that Kleenex was originally marketed as a cold cream/makeup remover? It wasn't until a few years after its initial release that it was commonly thought of as a nose-blowing product. Backstage at Fashion Week, I saw lots of facial tissue, and it wasn't just for blotting lipstick or t-zones. This got me to thinking about facial tissue and its usage in beauty. Here are some of my tips below. What are yours?

  • Hair protector: Behind the scenes at Fashion Week, hairstylists often use tissue between hair clips to prevent any unnecessary denting on freshly-styled hair.
  • Powder palette: Scrape off powders from eye shadows and blushes onto a tissue to create an artist's palette. That way, you can mix different colors together without making a mess. It's also a sanitary way to do someone else's makeup since you won't be double dipping into the products.

Anti-Viral Tissues: Are They Worth It?

So what's the deal with anti-viral tissues?

So what's the deal with anti-viral tissues? They seem like a great idea - anything that kills those cold and flu-causing viruses has to be worth it, right?

The good thing: Kleenex anti-viral tissues, with the little blue dots, kill the viruses that cause most colds and the flu. Within 15 minutes, the tissues kill 99% of them.

The not so good thing: The tissue is made of 3 layers, which tend to come apart easily. The middle layer in the tissue contains citric acid, which can burn a sensitive nose.

These tissues are only meant for catching coughs or sneezes, or to wipe your nose - they don't work as a surface cleaner.

These tissues do not prevent colds or the flu. They are meant to kill off viruses that are in the tissue before they can spread.

They don't cost much more than regular tissues, and may provide a little comfort for people who are freaked out about germs. So overall, it's a pretty good idea. I want to know what you think - would you buy them?
