THE "SOUL" OF CHRISTMAS

My husband Erik and I recently got into a "heated" debate around what each of us thought was the best Christmas song ever.  While I am partial to all things Mariah Carey, Erik thought that Donnie Hathaway's classic This Christmas should take the top spot.  Thus, our new Verzuz line of Christmas tee's and hoodies was born.  As I conceived and designed this line, I thought about what Christmas must have been like for many of the musicians featured in this collection when they were young.  Eartha Kitt was born on a plantation in South Carolina in 1927 from the rape of her mother by a white farmer.  Stevie Wonder was born premature and blind in 1950.  Donnie Hathaway suffered from mental illness for much of his life. This is why, while I love ALL Christmas music, soulful Christmas music has the greatest impact on me.  Whether it's the spirituality of a Black church choir or the energy of James Brown, I'm always inspired by the sincerity of Black performers who sang of the trials and tribulations of Christmas in the Ghetto or the hope of a better Christmas in the future.  So while Christmas 2020 might not seem as bright and cheerful as Christmases of the past, just remember what our ancestors had to go through and endure this time of year.  Be merry and bright. Make the most out of the Christmas that you have.  Even if you can't be with your loved ones this year, remember that thanks to modern technology, they are probably just a Zoom call away.  What a time to be alive!!

  1. You've seen me wearing this gorgeous satin robe in many of my YouTube videos.  It's available in all your favorite colors and adds a touch of "unfrumpyness" to your loungewear wardrobe.
2. Why not gift a pair of plush slippers to go with the robe?
3. Have some fun with the family this Christmas with the Bop It! game and BopIt Challenge.

5. This Mario Badescu The Facial Spray Collection makes a great stocking stuffer! 
6. I've had this DEENKEE Robot Vacuum for over a year now and it is a HUGE timesaver!

7. Don't forget the men in your life!  We've found these Micro and Large Shop Vacs to be so handy for indoor and garage cleanups!
8. These vibrant super stretch high rise jeans are the prefect complement to an UnFrumpyMommy Luxe t-shirt.
9.The initial necklace is a classic statement jewelry piece that pairs perfectly with any UnFrumpyTee.
