Shamless (self-serving) post, but for a good cause.


When my friend Pam got married back in October, it was one of the most beautiful and FUN weddings I've ever been to. It was filled with all sorts of unique elegant touches that made it extremely memorable.

One of those touches was that Pam and all her girls wore Sseko sandals. She'd told me a bit about the company and I agreed that they were a perfect fit for this amazing and and globally-responsible couple.

Here's a pic of the bridesmaids and bride in their wedding shoes!

This morning I read THIS BLOG POST about Sseko, which made me realize I have a connection to the company through some "Haiti friends" too. The post has a contest to win a pair of Ssekos, and well, I really want to win. So, here's my shamless plug for this cool, no-just-for-profit company that is transforming women's lives in Uganda.

So spread the word. I am going to be honest... the selfish part of me wants NO ONE else to enter this contest so that I can win. But there's a bigger part of me that wants you to spread the word. Great business model. Awesome product.

I've seen these sandals up close and personal. They would make a great everyday sandal, or a special occasion sandal. The quality is excellent and they are super cool and hip. And when you buy something super cool and hip, it makes you super cool and hip. And socially conscious. So go buy a pair.

Or at least help spread the word... CHECK THEM OUT! You might just score a pair for free!
