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.

My friend Emilie and I have both recently been inspired to continue listing and have agreed to help each other get 5 things crossed off in the next year. I had recently crossed off wearing skinny jeans in public and attending a cooking class! A few things on my list to tackle next are becoming comfortable eating alone at a restaurant (it’s taking a lot of practice), cooking a new recipe every month (and in the process resurrect my old blog), read Arabian Nights and listen to 20 full length classical musical masterpieces! Thank you for the inspiration and the stories! Did I mention my best friends all live in different states? Life lists will help us stay close!

I simply couldn’t decide between “making waffles on my Foreman grill” (i’m completely intimidated!) or “visiting Bhutan” (when? how? with what pocket change?) because they basically exemplify the range of items on my list, which I’ve labeled “Intentions” because I so strongly associate “Life List” with you.
Anyway, these are gorgeous items you selected for your bag – of course. I’ll keep my fingers crossed, and cheer for whoever the lucky winners are if my fingers don’t do the trick.

Hi Maggie!
I checked another item off my life list in September. Throw out the first pitch at a Major League Baseball game. I’m not kidding. I was one of the first responders recognized at “Heroes Day” at the Los Angeles Dodgers September 19th game. I represented the LAFD and our educational non-profit, MySafe:LA. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=272059&id=738326396
Usually I’m shooting this kind of event -stills and video – but this time I was in front of the camera. Not an easy spot for me. That Lola Epiphanie Camera Bag by Maile Wilson is making me drool!
