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 have been coveting those shoes for a while now. But- I just finished grad school (1st item to get crossed off the Life List- Become a Physician Assistant!) and am doing the unemployed/job hunt thing. So, shoes are a low priority now. How great would it be to get them anyway?
I want to someday have a house with a spiral staircase. In the short term I’m going to go puddle jumping. In colorful rainboots. And, I want to give a kid a library of classic children’s literature.

I’ve added a few new things to my life list since I began work as a tenure track professor in a Midwestern city.
1. Consciously work to educate myself about fashion and develop a coherent fashion of my own, in which I feel comfortable and beautiful.
2. Learn to play the banjo! (Hey, I live so close to Kentucky now…)
3. Attend 10 sporting events at my new university.
Also, last month I crossed another item off my life list: I learned how to score a baseball game!
Thanks for being such a great source of inspiration.
