We hope you have a wonderful holiday! We’re going to be signing off for a few days to enjoy some family and friends time (and work on a few campaigns), but we look forward to catching up next week. It’s shaping up to be the busiest year we’ve ever had, so the next few weeks are going to be crazy town around here. We’ve said it before, we’re just happy to be busy, especially this time of year.
And we’re off! Have a good one, y’all, and happy holidays!!
Finally! After months of messages and requests to restock our online apparel shop, we’ve added some new designs and sweatshirts to PJandThomas.com!
We decided to offer two main designs this time around. We brought back the original logo that PJ designed on a napkin a little over a year ago. If you’ve been following us for a long time, you’ll remember this was the design the print shop misspelled as “univerisity” and we didn’t catch it until about three weeks after we had gotten them back and were in the process of listing them for sale. We were mortified that they printed it spelled wrong and even more upset with ourselves that we didn't catch it beforehand. But in a weird turn of events, they actually sold out pretty quickly, and many of y’all said you actually wanted them in favor of the correctly spelled ones. Sometimes happy accidents happen, don’t they?
We also reached out to our logo designer, Ryan, who designed our most recognizable logo for Property of Y’all University Apparel at the end of last year and asked him if he would be interested in coming up with a new design for us. He luckily said yes, and it’s now officially for sale! It’s a nod to Yale University’s olive branch crest, while still honoring our original design. We added a new maroon color with the Heather Grey and it may just be our favorite color combination yet. How perfect is it for fall?!
We offer it in Navy as well:
And the original logo designs we mentioned also come in Heather Grey and Navy:
Besides the new sweatshirts, we added a brand new product to our online shop: CBD oil! Thomas’ brother, Taylor, and his partner Mariah, started a CBD oil company a few months ago called Chattanooga Hemp, and we’re so excited to now offer it on our website! It’s a passion project for them, and they’ve researched and worked so hard to partner with local companies to offer the best products possible. PJ has been taking CBD oil for his anxiety for almost a year now (and has been taking Chattanooga Help CBD oil for the last few months and loves it!) and the results have been undeniable. We fully believe in the power of CBD oil and we hope you enjoy the new products as much as we do.
We hope you love the new additions, and we can’t wait to take this even further next year with some fun new ideas we’re working on. Stay tuned!
Any fun plans this weekend? It was Thomas’ brother’s birthday this week and we’re all going to our favorite restaurant tonight to celebrate! We also have a few campaigns to shoot this weekend, so it looks like it’s going to be as busy as our week was, but we’re okay with that. This time of the year is always the busiest for us and we’re grateful for the work.
We started Limetown on Facebook Watch this week. Have you seen it? Jessica Biel plays an investigative journalist who runs a successful podcast called “Limetown” all about the disappearance of several hundred people back in 2004 who lived in the small town (set in Tennessee!) of the same name. The episodes are short, only about 30 mins or so, and so thrilling. We love a good mystery/drama and this one was so, so good.
Also, we want to thank y’all for taking the time to read the articles we’ve written the last two weeks about us working with USA for UNHCR to help refugees around the world. We feel so passionately about this and are excited to continue helping and spreading the word however we can, and we so greatly appreciate your time and support.
Hope you have a relaxing weekend, friend! xoxo
It was 4 o’clock. The kids were hungry. And we had no idea what to make for dinner. This entire scenario begs the question: what did we do before the internet?

It’s no secret that climate change is real, it’s happening, and it’s affecting a lot of things we take for granted every day. But one of the biggest impacts that climate change has on the world is something that we don’t feel is talked about enough, and that’s the affect is has on forcibly displaced people around the world.

Emphasis on the small! Blink and you might just miss it ;).
Much like how switching out curtains or getting new pillows can change the overall feel of a room, that’s more or less the equivalent of what happened here on the blog. We were going to wait until the new year to unveil the subtle changes, but we decided to go ahead and go live with the new logo and headline font. We’re going to be rolling out some new designs/colors on our sweatshirts and possibly new products (!) next year, so it seemed fitting to update our website to a design we both feel fits us better overall. You can see what the old font and logo looked like below:
There’s something about the new year that gives you permission to start fresh on whatever you want. It feels like a new start almost, even though you were the exact same person 24 hrs before. Do you know what we mean? It’s like with New Year’s resolutions. They’re kind of silly in theory, but we make them every year and only half stick to them, and you better believe we’ll be making them again in a few weeks.
Happy Monday, friends! Let’s make it a good one!
Have any fun plans this weekend? After a busy week filled with a new school, appointments, conference calls, and car sickness (he handled it like a champ, though!), we’re looking forward to a relaxing weekend with nice, sunny weather. We have a couple of campaigns to shoot, but other than that, it’s going to be a pretty chill weekend.
We started watching The Morning Show on Apple TV+ and we can honestly say it’s one of the most addicting, bingeable shows out there right now. Have you seen it? It’s not getting the best reviews but it’s entertaining as hell to watch. And Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Anniston absolutely KILL it in their rolls. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a new show to watch this fall.
Two last things: we want to thank everyone who has read and supported our articles regarding the refugee crisis! It’s something that means a lot to us and we can’t thank you enough. And lastly, we are dropping off new sweatshirt orders today at our local print shop and should be live on our website in a few weeks, so stay tuned!!!
Hope you have a good one, friends!
Before this past year, we really didn’t know who refugees/forcibly displaced people were and what their stories were all about. We still don’t know a lot about the situation and are educating ourselves as much as we can, but today we wanted to share some staggering numbers and facts that are extremely hard to believe. Let’s get right to it, starting with the first question…
