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 never made the time to compose a life list for myself – until I realized that I had just crossed the first thing off of it: move to a brand new city.
Some people might say that was starting with the hardest thing first. But now there are dozens upon dozens of hardly-easy things I want to try next, like running a half-marathon and living on a boat for a year. Or maybe just learning to knit (seriously, knitting is complicated!).

I don’t have a Mighty Life List so much as a Play the Piece Before I Die List. I am a professionally educated amateur clarinet player and I managed to find a really phenomenal local community orchestra in which to pursue my dream of becoming a professional clarinettist. This year I was named principal clarinet after seven seasons with this orchestra. The first concert we are playing includes Mahler’s first symphony, which I have wanted to play since I was a freshman in high school. We are three rehearsals in toward a performance on October 30 and 31 and I am thrilled to check Mahler 1 off my list. Now, onto Ein Heldenleben.

After moving across the country in August to complete life list item #1: Go to grad school, I started adding oodles of new things to the list like: camp on the Appalachian Trail, attend a Bluegrass festival, and learn how to make grits from a true southern woman.
