Headbands for your head AND your heart!

    The Accessories Market in Atlanta last month was a smashing success for us at HajPaj Boutique for two reasons: 1) the weather was awesome!  Most people in the South were experiencing some unseasonably warm weather, so that made travel to and from the actual downtown market buildings so much easier and enjoyable.  2) We found some fantastic products and having the dilemma of choosing the best ones for our customers was a great problem to have.
    One of the first things we found were the Banded headbands.  We fell in love with the fact that they were fabric headbands that were of a patent pending design guaranteed not to slip, pinch, pull, or squeeze your hair or head.  Nothings worse than to have a headache at the end of the day just because you want to have your hair pulled back and out of your way.
     The velvet backing on the band keeps the headband in place all day long...even if you are very active throughout the day.  The Opti-Size patent pending technology employs a special plastic sleeve/elastic assembly that allows the band to easily adjust to any size head thus the comfort of all day wear.  And the high quality, exceptional fit comes in an affordable package.  Wow, all that in one cute headband...


These are just a few of the 12 designs we carry in the store
     But, wait, you've known us long enough to know that comfort and affordability isn't the only thing we care about.  We care deeply about products that go that one step further and the Banded headbands definitely do.  For every Banded headband, purchased three meals are donated to a child through Amazima Ministries.
     Amazima Ministries is AMAZING!  They are dedicated to helping the most impoverished people, particularly women and children, of Uganda.  As an 18 year old girl from Tennessee, Katie Davis traveled to Uganda for the first time and she was immediately struck by the overwhelming needs of that country.  In two short years, Katie started a school, a feeding program, a 501(c)(3) organization called Amazima, and she adopted 3 children of her own at only 20 years of age.  Katie feels she is truly called to help the children of this country. Today her feeding program nourishes over 1200 children Monday through Friday. Your purchase of a Banded headband makes this program possible.

     Currently, Katie is the adoptive mother to 13 daughters and she's only 25 years old.  Katie says "People tell me I am brave. People tell me I am strong. People tell me good job.  Well here is the truth of it.  I am really not that brave, I am not really that strong, and I am not doing anything spectacular.  I am just doing what God called me to do..."  Well, let us tell you, we think Katie is truly amazing and we wish for two seconds to have the heart that she has...she's is a one-of-a-kind!
     Check out Amazima for yourself and consider donating...it is truly worthwhile.
