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 ran in Oregon’s Hood to Coast cross-country team race event this August! It wasn’t on my list until I was asked to be on a team until 2 weeks prior to the race, but since a lot of my items are sports/activity/trying new things related, I said yes and went ahead and did it!

It was hard but fun, and I definitely have a strong feeling of accomplishment for having done it. Which is awesome since I’m not doing so hot on my List item labeled “get along with the ex-bf better” right now.
That gift bag is great swag – would love to win it!

On my life list: “Throw awesome birthday party for myself.” I just did that last month. I turned 40, and celebrated with a bonfire picnic and friends at the beach, where we played and sang American and Balkan folk songs (ok, if Johnny Cash and Bob Marley are folk music…) It was amazing.
Hey, #68/Katie: That’s on my list too! But I have no plans/ideas on how and when to make it happen…

To ride my bike to work, which means riding it from Queens into Manhattan. I accomplished this once so far, and it was pretty terrifying. But I hope to do it again soon. I should probably add “get over fear of biking in the city” to the list as well.
