I guess charity is on my mind these days, because I have yet another philanthropic outlet I would like to share with you.
Blake Mycoskie is the founder of a company called TOMS Shoes - and the premise is simple: for every pair of shoes you buy, they will donate a pair of shoes to a child in need.
This started in 2006 when Blake traveled to Argentina and found that many children he had befriended had no shoes for protection. Since its inception, TOMS has donated over 140,000 pairs of shoes and the number is growing.
If that's not enough of a good reason to take a look at TOMS, do it for the Gilligan-esque espadrilles which are seen on the pages of many glossy magazines these days. They come in a wide array of colours, will hardly burn in a hole in your pocket, and look great with a pair of shorts and a tunic.
Looking good and feeling good all at the same time.
