Life in Pajamas

Pajama Company CEO stand Up For Pajama Clad Teens

Recent trends of teens wearing pajamas to school have got some administrators up in arms.  Teachers, principles, and parents are saying students coming to school in flannel pants or even slippers look sloppy and inappropriate. 

However, Ellie Badanes, CEO of website thepajamacompany.com says this is a perfectly acceptable trend.  “I love seeing pajamas at school,” she says, “Nothing sloppy going on, no, we call it trendy.”

She advises teens and tweens who are looking for a perfect combination of trendy and comfortable to pair a pajama pant with their favourite tee-shirt and flip flops or comfy boots.

Those timid or unsure about the idea she says should check out the teens and tweens section of her website www.thepajamacompany.com for some examples.

“Pajamas aren't just for sleeping anymore.  They go where you go and if you're a teen or tween we've seen them going everywhere!”

 

Pajamas as Holiday Money Savers? Who Knew!

Who would have ever considered a set of pajamas as a holiday money saving opportunity – but this holiday season, that is exactly what everyone’s favorite sleep wear is shaping up to be.  The popularity of pajamas as presents is climbing, especially with the rising costs of heating and every-day clothing.  Many families are lowering the thermostat this winter, resulting in parents and children bundling up at night.  As for daily wear, pre-teens and older are wearing sleep shirts and especially sleep pants as daywear.

 

Many families aren’t able to afford purchasing those “just for fun” gifts, so they are turning to pajamas to fit that need.  The wide variety of styles and designs available practically ensure that parents can find pajamas that reflect the personalities and interests of their children.

 

In addition to pajamas being a popular item this holiday season, pajama-centric activities are also seeing an increase.  Instead of traveling this year, or putting expense into extravagant decorations and meals, families are spending time getting into their pajamas to bake cookies, cakes, and other treats for the holidays.

 

Parents and children are also donning pajamas for family film nights.  Some popcorn, warm apple cider, and classic holiday films can make for a special evening at home.  Pajamas are turning into this year’s big holiday money saver and fun maker – who knew?

Fashion Police in China: No Pajamas

The "Fashion Police" in China have deemed that men wearing "pajamas" (seems to be a "man problem") in public is totally unacceptable.  It's been common knowledge for a very long time that men in pajamas is perfectly normal on the streets of Beijing. There, pajamas are streetwear, day wear.  All is good.  But maybe not for these two weeks. For these two weeks, "No Pajamas" is the rule.   I guess we can live with that for a short time.  After all, we are busy watching the Olympics ourselves in our pajamas!!   Just let us know when the world is back to normal.  We, pajama people, need to know!   In the mean time,  congrats to all the athletes.  We cheer you from our couches!

Put Your Pajamas On and Get To Work!

So, I've just done the morning routine, showered, moisturized, dressed and put on makeup.  I've poured my cup of coffee and sat down at my desk to start the day.  What am I wearing to work today you wonder??  Well, only the most fabulous perfect pair of flannel pajama pants from Frankie & Johnny with my perfect white long sleeved tee.  Today, I've chosen the pretty mint green  "Snow Bunnies"  which are so fresh and happy.  No, they weren't crumbled up in the bottom of my closet.  They were clean, folded and ready for work!

It's the perfect month for a "Pajama Day"!

We all know that grabbing a few extra hours of sleep is a huge health benefit.   We love our Footies from Big Feet and Footzies or some wonderful  flannels for her,  for kids, for him or for teens and tweens.  And snuggle socks just make everything a little more cozy.  Create some January memories by declaring a "Pajama Day" for your family! 

Life in Pajamas

Life in pajamas...that kind of says it all.  Pajamas are, well, just nice.  I admit it, I work in pajamas.  I live in pajamas and I have the best excuse of all for this good habit.  My business is pajamas!  I work everyday on my internet store, my online world, www.ThePajamaCompany.com .  Doesn't it make perfect sense to work in pajamas?  Even if you're not in the pajama business?  I've always done my best work in pajamas...well before my pajama business days.  Everything is just less tense in pj's.  Everything is a little happier, a little nicer.  Books are more enjoyable, coffee tastes better, tea is more piping, diet coke is colder and snappier, magazines are more glossy, movies are more vivid, couches are more comfy, well...it goes on and on doesn't it!
