Soma Bra Dontation – Giving is Beautiful

Donate your new or gently used Bra today!

I’m notorious for hoarding bras that just do not fit anymore. I have bras from 20 lbs ago (in either direction), in between bras during pregnancy, nursing bras.. you name it. My bras that do not fit but are still in my drawer outnumber the ones that I actually wear on a day-to-day basis. Sure, there is reason to hold on to the little black dress bra, or the “I’m not leaving the house for days” bra, but the others? The others can definitely be slimmed down some.

I was completely unaware the “bras are the most needed yet least donated item for women”. Whoa. I always think of those old business suites, or clothes that I just am not fond of any longer as great items to donate, but… bras? They have never crossed my mind really.

So ladies, now is the time to start clearing out that intimate drawer and donating to a great cause by ‘supporting’ women in need. Get those new or gently used bras and bring them to any Soma Intimates boutique between July 7th and August 14th (there is a store finder on the website). You can also mail your donations to the address via the Soma Intimates site.

There is also a fun contest you can enter for a chance to win a $500 gift card.

Review: Personality in Your PJs

I was first asked to take a quick quiz to find out which PJ fit my personality. You can also find out what your PJ Personality is by taking the personality quiz. After taking the quiz, I found my personality style is Classic. And, just in time for the holidays, I was sent some festively red jersey Personality PJs!

I remember I used to have such cute PJs, matching flannel shirts with shorts and those long nightshirts. When I was pregnant with my first son, that seemed to go downhill. With a growing belly, I started wearing cotton sports shorts and my husbands extra large tshirts. Two years, and two kids later, my general nightly attire has not changed (well, I might wear some of my husbands large tshirts in addition to those extra larges ones). So, when Mom Central asked if I wanted to try out Soma Intimates new Personality PJs, it was a great reason for me to shed my husbands clothes for something that fits, well, my personality!

When I opened the package I immediately noticed how soft the Personality PJs are. I received a button down shirt and pants, in a classic style. The PJs have some accent white and red polka dot ribbing to give it just a little extra style. I have had some jersey fabrics before that shrank when I washed them, but the Soma Intimates Personality PJs washed very well and the red stayed nice and vibrant as well. And yes, they are still oh-so-soft!

Personality PJs are available in supremely soft jersey and satin fabrics in an array of prints and colors in sizes XS-XL. If you are looking for a fun and personal gift for the holidays, you might want check them out!
