When we were pulling together gifts for the Mighty Summit, we set a few aside to give away. There will be Summit giveaways on Mighty Girl all this week, but this first one is a doozy. Here’s what’s up for grabs today:
I bought a pair of these perfect ultimate travel shoes a while back, and they’re one of my new favorite things. Tieks fold in half so you can stuff them in your purse, but the quality is amazing. They come in all sorts of candy colors and metallics — plus they pack flat and slip off easily when you’re heading through airport security. The winner gets to choose any pair for $135 and under. I recommend orange.
Photojojo’s Tokyo Dreamer Strap
I can’t believe how long it took me to replace my ugly, logoed camera strap. Photojojo’s Tokyo Dreamer strap really dresses up your camera, and even has a little pocket for extra memory cards or a lens cloth.
Lola Epiphanie Camera Bag by Maile Wilson
Maile was an attendee at this year’s Summit, and she brought along her bright Epiphanie camera bags. I use mine as my everyday purse and have finally stopped busting expensive lenses and gadgets by wrapping them in hand towels and shoving them into an un-padded purse. Now I can have my SLR, my flip, and my phone(s) with me without anything banging together and cracking or getting scratched by my keys.
And that’s it for today. Pretty good, huh? To enter to win, please leave a comment about something on your Life List.
Now for the fine print: Please only leave one comment, because it’s the nice thing to do, and also because multiple entries will be disqualified. I’ll use random.org to select the winner, and I’ll announce who won at the top of this post and in a separate post next Tuesday.

I am totally smitten with the idea of folding shoes in half and keeping them in my purse. I tried this with some cheap, old flats the other day, but the results were not pretty!

I realized some time ago that I didn’t have to become a teacher to teach – so in my position as a Lunch Room Supervisor, I’m going to teach the kids who need an activity on a rainy day to knit using their fingers. After I teach myself.

I’m starting a new life list after completing my first one between 1985 (skydiving) and 2000 (completed my BA) In between, I took tap dance lessons, swimming lessons, bought a guitar and learned to play well enough for me to sing along. I also learned sign language, and took a leave of absence from work to travel with a backpack and passport. My new life list includes (among other things) learning to use a cordless drill, pulling out my sewing machine again, and traveling through Newfoundland.

I want to learn to make lobster. I am plum terrified of making lobster and yet I find it delicious. Perhaps my abject fear stems from my youth spent landlocked in Nebraska where there are cows aplenty, but very few lobsters. Now that I’m living on the East Coast, I’m ready to master the crustacean. I can already imagine he’ll be delicious with butter sauce ala Julia Child.

like many other people, getting to a healthy weight and fitness level is on my life list. i just started with a personal trainer, and when she asked me what my ‘fitness goal’ was, i told her that i wanted to feel and look better by the time i turned 30 next July. then i hesitated for a minute and admitted that my slightly more *specific* goal was to have great calves so i could finally wear slutty boots.
