No, we don’t sell consignment toys; we carry toys by an amazing company called Schylling.

Snuggle All Day Long With Barefoot Dreams

Barefoot Dreams Hoodie on Sleepytimestore.comEveryone knows what it’s like to have a hard time leaving bed in the morning—what could be more comfortable? Well I had a similar problem: I didn’t want to leave the house in the morning because I knew I would have to leave my super-soft Barefoot Dreams robe behind. I bought it for myself a few months ago and since then I haven’t been able to leave it be!

I wake up in the morning, have my coffee and read the newspaper, all in my lovely, comforting Barefoot Dreams robe. All of this comfort makes me wish I could take it with me to work. Given the lack of professionalism in that fashion statement, however, I decided to let the robe stay home. Well, no longer do I have to miss my Barefoot Dreams robe at the office and while running around town because I just received my Barefoot Dreams Hoodie!

Not only is it just as soft and comforting as all of the other Barefoot Dreams products, but it is completely wearable. It’s made of the same material so you know it’s easy to take care of—all those coffee stains go straight in the wash and come out softer than they were going in! Also it comes in so many stylish and practical colors that I had no trouble at all finding one that would match my wardrobe.

I especially love the Barefoot Dreams Hoodie when it starts to get a little bit cold. Unlike all of my other jackets and sweaters, which are heavy and weigh me down while they keep me warm, this hoodie is incredibly light-weight and allows me to move freely while still keeping me comfortably cozy. Not to mention, it’s so stylish that no one knows that it’s really the softest thing around! I highly recommend this as a gift to any friend, I mean who wouldn’t love a good snuggle all day long?

Celebrities and Barefoot Dreams

On that note, have you ever wondered what celebrity moms have been buying lately? The answer is Barefoot Dreams robes, throws, and hoodies!

Don’t have kids? Don’t worry. Barefoot Dreams makes adult products too, and celebrities can’t get enough of them. Barefoot Dreams Adult Robes have been worn in episodes of The O.C. and Desperate Housewives and have been featured on Ellen DeGeneres’ and Tyra Banks’ talk shows. Barefoot Dreams robes and throws even found their way into a coveted spot on “Oprah’s Favorite Things” list.
