TOMS to the rescue!

I fell in love with the mission of TOMS shoes a year or so ago and Heather and I now have 8 pairs between the two of us. Have you heard of the company before? Basically, every time you buy a pair of their shoes, a pair is given to a child in need who lives in Argentina or South Africa. Is that not AMAZING?!

Me and my favorite pair of cozy TOMS- Grey Woolen Men's Classics.

While in West Virginia visiting family last month, I saw that the founder of TOMS, Blake Mycoskie, has written a book on the movement (it's so much more that than a company, in my eyes) titled "Start Something that Matters". I immediately snatched up the book and read the first 50 pages that day when we got home. Well, graduate classes and work have gotten in the way of progressing further but I have literally been counting down the days until Christmas break when I'll have the opportunity to finish this book- among other things. :)

Though I haven't had the opportunity to finish "Start Something that Matters" yet, I have been following Blake's blog and there I read about a contest where, if you win, two copies of his book are sent to you- one to read and one to give away. Just write a review of the book on your blog and on Amazon and give a copy of his book away to a lucky blog reader. How great is that?

Guess what? I won the contest!!! :) I have in my possession two brand spankin' new copies of "Start Something that Matters". And since I already have a copy of my own, I'm going to give away both of these copies on here to two of you!

The catch? Well, there really isn't one. I love this company and their mission so much and I am confident that you will too. I'll post my review of Blake's book some time around Christmas and have the drawing shortly there after. In the mean time, check out TOMS and Blake to get inspired by the great work they're doing. And stop back by here in December for a chance to win a copy of "Start Something that Matters"! :)
