Long time...it's been such a long time. School and work and life can do that to a lady!
But I'm back! With too many ideas for posts....iyiyi.
Anyway, today I thought I'd showcase one of my favorite companies. A company whose movement I would one day like to emulate!
TOMS shoes! Their One For One message is terribly inspiring.
In fact, when I was in Guatemala, I saw some of the kids were wearing TOMS! And these kids needed them. They lived in a dump - literally; their parents made a living sorting the recyclables from the trash - and ran around in their bare tootsies. These are the kinds of kids that get the other pair of shoes you buy! And now for some illustrating and actual photos of my trip to Guatemala to illustrate my point:
I'd really like to intern for their print design department in one of the coming summers!
Anyway, I picked a couple of my favorites from their website and here they are!

Blake Mycoskie (founder of TOMS) also wrote a book. I've been reading it in my sarcastically copious amounts of free time. I have been working through it though. It's a great read about the story behind TOMS and other businesses with a mission. It's a truly inspiring book with legitimate tips and pointers about the business of making the world a better place!
I hope you enjoyed my shameless plug for a company with a conviction that I believe in. :}
