Barefoot in the.... Everywhere

So one of our favorite things of all time is Toms shoes.  Toms is a Santa Monica (Tod's hometown) based shoe company with a great message.  For every pair of shoes you buy, they give a pair of shoes to a child that doesn't have any. Their simple business model allows you to become not only their customer, but their partner and fellow philanthropist.  Copper loves them because they sell Vegan shoes.  Tod loves them because they simple, yet chic.  Whatever the reason, they are a company worth looking at.  Who doesn't want to look good, feel good and do good all at the same time?? Here are some ways people wear their eco-friendly , philanthropic, fabulous shoes....

(all these photos are from the Toms website here)

The main reason we posted this is because Toms shoes is hosting One Day Without Shoes.  What? Yes, its what you think.  To raise awareness of the difference a pair of shoes can make in someones life.  Now we love this for a few reasons.  

1. We will go barefoot for any reason.

2. We like kids.

3. We like helping people. 

Now, they say you can go barefoot as much or as little as you like.  Obviously you cannot go into stores barefoot and your workplace might frown upon the barefoot movement, but even taking them off for a bit can help you understand the importance of something simple like shoes in a persons life.  If you really get into it, the Toms website lists events near your town so you can walk barefoot with your friends and neighbors.  If you want more information you can visit the One Day Without Shoes website here or watch their video below.

An Eggcelent Idea

After the post on egg decorating, I (Tod), decided I should say a little bit about the incredible, edible egg.  Delicious? Yes.  Perfect for dyeing? You bettcha.  But we all need to be a little considerate of where our eggs come from.


If you are going to eat eggs this easter, we all know the cage-free and organic are a better option then the regular brand.  The organic/cage-free eggs are not fed the horrible food filled with hormones nor do they live in cramped cages with no room to move or light to see.  However, organic and free range doesn't mean cruelty free.  If you want to hear a funny, yet informative take on the not so happy image of the egg layers check out this clip from the Colbert Report with special guest Jonathan Safran (an adorable activist).


The best egg from the best hen will come from your local hens.  Go to your farmer's market.  Ask at your grocery store.  It may seem like a small deal, but where we put our money truly counts.  So find a happy hen and decorate a happy egg and have a happy easter!!!

Good Friday and Happy Easter!

Happy Easter weekend everyone!!! Man, are we glad the weekend is here!  It has been a busy week for both of us... 


Copper moved out of her shack and into a new house! Yay!  Tod has been busy with life and playing April Fools jokes on everyone around her.  Both of us are excited for the weekend... spending time with family and getting some spring cleaning done!


We hope the easter bunny is kind to you guys and you find all the best eggs in the hunt!  Here is a little egg inspiration for you...
