BedHead Pajamas

Posted on December 2nd, 2009 by Corine in anything goes 0 Comments

BedHead Pajamas has caught my eye again with their 2009 Fall/Winter catalogue and the introduction of Boo Boo BedHead, a collection of mommy and me styles. As well, they have brought us the new BedHead Stretch, a cotton/lycra blend of the cutest prints and styles available for the kid at heart. As the weather gets colder and the nights get longer we all want something warm and comforting to wrap ourselves in. Might as well dress yourself in something that makes you smile, or possibly invoke a pillow fight. Check these out….

One of the best things about these pajamas is the variety of styles available for each print. We all have personal preferences and whether you are dressed for work or dressed for bed, what is truly important is that you feel confident in what you are wearing. The BedHead Stretch collection is both fun and comfortable no matter what style you prefer. The stretch blend is 95% cotton and 5% lycra, so you still get all the comfort of cotton with just enough stretchy lycra to compliment anyone’s figure just right.

There are plenty more new designs to choose from in the new catalogue. The men have some fresh prints to flaunt as well. Pictured below we have the classy Casablanca Men’s Pajama’s with robe, the Striped Cabana Pajamas, and the Cabana pants with a Henley long sleeve….I love a Henley long sleeve on a man!

Let us not forget that BedHead Pajamas is much more than just pajamas. They have such a beautiful selection of luxurious bedding and many other little goodies for your home. Be sure to check out the news digs for your holiday gifts.

To celebrate the new catalogue our friends at BedHead have been so gracious as to offer our supportive shoppers a special discount code which will be available to you through December 25th. When you’ve finished your shopping at bedheadpjs.com be sure to type NONPROFIT in the discount code box to receive an extra 15% off your entire purchase.

I would also like to take this opportunity to mention a charity that is very special to BedHead. BedHead has teamed up with Esperanza Community Housing Corporation in an effort to better our community and provide fair housing and affordable wages for everyone. BedHead currently has three pajama styles up on the website that, when purchased, 20% of the purchase price is donated to Esperanza. In addition, their Pink Ribbon PJ donates 15% of its purchase price to The National Breast Cancer Foundation. Can you even handle any more good news? Just think of all the good you can do simply by doing your holiday shopping at Bed Head Pajamas THROUGH Non Profit Shopping Mall. With so many charitable options available in one single purchase it’s quite possibly the most important gift you can purchase.

Now….go forth and shop happy!

With a little help from our Spanx!

Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive… except when it comes to a great undergarment from Spanx. And with the holidays just ahead, a little deception from this excellent performance wear line can help hide a multitude of sweet and tasty sins. As a woman, I’ve learned that no matter what shape or size you are, we women all need a good support system. So like a gift from the Gods above, Spanx gives us exactly that. We all want to look great in our clothes. Some people prefer the helping hand of a bra with back support, while those of us who are less top heavy, so to speak, prefer the security of a gentle hug around our caboose. With Spanx you can find the support and discretion you need to proudly strut your stuff from head to toe. They cater to every shape from petite to curvaceous, including those lucky ladies with legs that seem to go on for days or the mommy to be who refuses to give up on her fierce style simply because there’s a bun in the oven. Pictured below is a sampling of the sleek solutions to keeping things under control. Spanx has a surprisingly large line of undergarments to choose from –and nonprofitshoppingmall.com proudly works with 5 major retailers who carry the Spanx brand online, for maximum convenience.

The second best thing about Spanx is how comfortable they are. Unlike traditional girdle-like garments, Spanx products are soft and breathable – with no embarrassing tight bands that roll down at the belly when you sit or bend either!

Spanx has such a great line of tights and pantyhose. There are cute designs like the hounds-tooth tights pictured above, and they even carry fishnets. The tights pictured above center are fantastic. They are reversible. One day you can wear brown and another day you can turn them inside out and wear blue. How cool is that? Most importantly, woman who are pregnant want to feel sexy and they deserve it. Spanx has some great pantyhose that give you sexy legs and full tummy support.

As a big fan of strapless dresses and capri pants, these three shape-wear undergarments are my favorite.

Where can I buy Spanx?

AND WHO DO WE THANK FOR SPANX?
In 1998, Spanx creator Sara Blakely found herself in a fashion dilemma. What she wanted to wear one day was her favorite pair of cream colored pants with some open-toe shoes. Sara was not a fan of the thong, nor did she want a visible panty line. So, she did what any fashion driven woman would do. She grabbed a pair of pantyhose and cut off the toes. Voila — she now had footless pantyhose and did not have to compromise her open-toe shoe. That, my friends, was the birth of Spanx. Sara Blakely now offers women, all over the world, freedom from visible panty lines, clingy fabrics, and tummy bulges. Thank you Sara!!

GAVI Alliance

During this month of December when our thoughts often turn to helping those less fortunate than ourselves, we'd like to introduce GAVI ALLIANCE and its simple, yet powerful mission to IMMUNIZE EVERY CHILD. Vaccines are truly life giving gifts, and perhaps the worlds best hope for slashing the still scandalously high rates of infant mortality in the poorest communities of the world.

Founded by Nelson Mandela, Bill Gates, and other world leaders in 2000, GAVI unites all of the major stakeholders in this cause for immunization: developing country and donor governments, vaccine manufacturers worldwide, the World Health Organization, the UN Children's Fund, the World Bank, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and other private philanthropists.

Vaccine-preventable diseases: such as pneumonia, rotavirus and cervical cancer, impose two enormous burdens on the world, one direct, and one indirect. The direct burden is the more obvious: it is the suffering and death of millions of children and adults who are not protected from easily prevented diseases. Every year, 9.7 million children die before their fifth birthday, and a quarter of these deaths are due to diseases that are preventable through vaccination. The problem with such statistics is that they are difficult to grasp. This is a real issue - the human mind is not very good at appreciating the scale of such large numbers. In absolute terms, the death toll is equal to half the total number of US children under five currently alive. Put another way, you could fill every professional football stadium in the United States five times over with the number of children who will die this year.

The very scale of those numbers and the visualization of that many people suffering and dying is justification enough to tackle this crisis. And yet, it is the indirect burden of vaccine-preventable diseases that presents an even more compelling motivation. Through careful and systematic research, the impact of disease on growth and overall economic welfare is now well understood.

Immunization is a cornerstone of public health programs and serves as a platform for other interventions. These programs have been sustained for decades, even through war and conflict. In one of the greatest successes in public health history, smallpox was eradicated by immunization campaigns in 1979, and polio eradication is now within reach. Each year approximately 25 million infants do not receive the necessary immunizations, and at least 2.4 million children die from vaccine-preventable diseases -- approximately 14 percent of deaths in children under 5. Millions more survive, but are left severely impaired. The long-term effects of these childhood illnesses limit the ability of those who survive to become educated, to work, or to care for themselves or others.

The world needs changing - and is changing, with the help of the GAVI ALLIANCE and its partnerships, more than 213 million children have been vaccinated against diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, yellow fever, hepatitis B, and Hib (Haemophilus influenza type b) and has prevented more than three million deaths in the process. GAVI has improved health services in 72 nations - home to half the world's population and, to date, GAVI has marshaled $4 billion for vaccination through 2015. During this holiday season - why not give the gift of life to a child by insuring their ability to be immunized against childhood diseases - give to GAVI directly or support their cause by shopping through their mall and SAVE A LIFE.
