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.

One of my life list items is to have dinner at Alinea, and I was wondering if I would be the kind of person who takes pictures at a dinner like that. After dinner at Chez Panisse for the first time this year, I think I can safely say I am not, and I’m totally cool with that.

I have a bunch of running goals on my life list – 5k, 10k, half-marathon, marathon. I’ve beat out the 5k several times over (most recently, and most fun: http://www.ruggedmaniac.com ), and I’ll have the 10k and the half-marathon under my belt in the next (yikes!) week and a half. The marathon… the marathon can wait just a little bit longer.

I have always wanted to learn how to play the piano and the violin (or at least one of those!) When I was in elementary school and everyone had to pick an instrument for band, I had to learn the clarinet because we had access to my dad’s old one. But the piano and violin were what excited me. I’ve already lined up piano lessons to begin in the spring!
