TOMS Eyewear

Amazing.

For those who are not familiar with TOMS, they have a movement called "One for One". For each pair of shoes you purchase, they will give a new pair of shoes to a child in need. I own a pair, and for less than $50 for a super light, comfortable pair of shoes, you are actually buying 2 pairs of shoes! So easy!

They just announced their new project, an eyewear line. For each pair you purchase, they will provide either medical treatment, prescription glasses or sight-saving surgery for someone in need. I LOVE eyewear, so I will definitely be ordering a pair (or two...)

My Japan

My friends have started My Japan, a charity photo exhibition. It is a collection of photos of Japan from people all over the world and what Japan means to them. By 'liking' photos through Facebook (Facebook page) or 'commenting' through the website, you are helping out choose the top 50 photos which will be beautifully printed and exhibited to be sold in Tokyo on May 11th. All proceeds from photo sales will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross. Please check the sites for more info, and get involved by sending in your photos, voting and spreading the word!
