Buy Shoes, "Get a Pair Free"

I love these shoes! Not just because they're turquoise and cute, but because if you buy a pair of 

TOMS shoes... 

someone who needs a pair gets shoes too! I mean, it seems like there aren't many 2 for the price of 1 deals very often.... not to mention you can help change a child's life. If you ever find yourself thinking that your house isn't big enough (or if you're like me, thinking about how much you'd like to move from an apartment into a house some day) or you'd like a bigger bed to sleep in at night, remember that there are people in this world who don't even have a bed to sleep on... and sometimes they don't have a roof over their head either. Then you can do a small part (buy some shoes) to help others, and your problems don't really seem like big problems any more, do they?

buy a pair of shoes... a child in need gets a pair too :)

If you've seen any of the pictures I've been posting on this blog lately, you'll come to the conclusion that I am a bit obsessed with turquoise... and it's not even a recent thing. I've always loved the color blue, and turquoise just reminds me of perfect waters... oh well, it's a safe obsession.

Here's a little info (straight from the TOMS website) about how it all started:

"In 2006 an American traveler, Blake Mycoskie, befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS Shoes, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One. Blake returned to Argentina with a group of family, friends and staff later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by caring TOMS customers."

I don't have a pair of Tom's shoes yet... but I don't know why I wouldn't get a pair. Maybe I can even talk Nate into sporting a pair too....? ;)
