Here’s the deal… street culture retailer Karmaloop and artist Shepard Fairey have teamed up to create a one-of-a-kind t-shirt with 40% of proceeds directly benefiting the MTV Staying Alive Foundation. Fairey, best known for his iconic Barack Obama “HOPE” poster for the 2008 U.S. Presidential campaign, says “AIDS awareness is really important especially in areas where people aren’t as aware or it’s culturally taboo to talk about it. The goal of the T-shirt graphic is to say let’s fight this, to get the message out, to talk about the issue and to encourage safe sex.”
By shopping for your MTV Staying Alive Foundation/Shepard Fairey shirt HERE your purchase will support The Foundation, help raise awareness as to the increase of HIV/AIDS in America while keeping you fashionably hip at the same time!!
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.

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.
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!!

It’s bittersweet when the hot days of summer begin waning into the breezy and chill nights of autumn. Personally I’m a summer fanatic but I can’t deny the overwhelming joy of being able to slip back into a cozy set of pajamas. In fact, as I scan my dresser drawers I realize I might just have more pajamas than regular clothes. After all, some nights I feel the need to call upon the old faithful flannels and other nights it’s the magic of the sexy satins – one must be prepared. Whatever your preference may be, we all could use a great set of pj’s to make us feel cozy and warm. At Bed Head Pajamas there is something for everyone, not to mention some of the cutest pj’s for children that I have ever seen. For men, they have styles that are casual, classy and sexy all rolled into one. Take a look.
From BedHead’s women’s collection, these two pajama sets are my absolute favorites. I could easily wear the flannel cheetah print jammies around the house all day long. The only excuse I need is a rainy day, a good movie and a cup of delicious coffee. The other set is a sateen kimono style pajama. The colors and design are beautiful and the style is very sexy. Give me a great book and a chaise lounge so I can feel completely spoiled in style.
Now, at some point in life all of us ladies must endure what I call “the rite of wisdom”. Others might just call it hot, wet misery, but with these amazing pajamas below it doesn’t matter how you look at it, there is relief. Bed Head has blessed us with a variety of pajamas made of Cotton Voile. What is Cotton Voile? It is a plain weave, gauze-like, free flowing material. Garments made of this magical fabric are perfect for summer and brief waves of heat that come and go as they please whether we want them to or not. The sheer quality of Voile allows for maximum airflow while still providing superb coverage. And, it should come as no surprise to you that these pajamas are both adorable and chic.
I find something terribly attractive about a man in pajamas, particularly in plaid prints. And, who can deny the simple allure of the basic white tee and shorts?
Here we have the children’s pajamas. Having a child of my own I have to admit I melt at the sight of my daughter in her jammies. I get tickled over wispy-eyed babies in cozy little footsie sleepers and cotton thermal sets. With BedHead Pajamas new children’s line, they have definitely found my tickle spot.
Last but surely not least, BedHead also offers other goods such as bedding and accessories. The bedding is very elegant and comes in most of the same prints as the pj’s. The fabrics, of course, are a gift to the touch. And it doesn’t just stop there, BedHead has all the things we love like a warm pair of slippers, a luxurious robe or a cute little make-up case.
Our friends at BedHead are currently offering a free shipping code. Just enter “TRISJA” in the discount code box at checkout! Oh – and sleep tight …
