A Glam Surprise + Spiralizer giveaway
Hi guys 🙂 How are ya? I’m so glad ya’ll liked the post on stress management this morning <3 It is really easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed (especially when you’re plate is full), but it’s comforting to know there are many things you can do to fight it!
Fun news: my little blog was featured once more on the fabulous Glamour Vitamin G blog today! It was a lovely surprise- thank you, Sarah! 🙂 (*Waves hi* to the Glam-azing new readers!!)
Today has been pretty chill – I hit up the gym for a little treadmill sesh and then my cousin and I hit up the mall.
I did some damage –it’s rare that I get to go to an actual mall (Valdosta’s is very sad… unless you need a leather jacket with a cartoon character on it, then you’re in luck), so I lived it up 😉
Snacked on a Larabar whilst helping my cousin find a prom dress:
Some other recent eats:
Take-out from Cedar (a Cedar salad with lots of veggies, mint vinaigrette and a side of beautiful hummus)
About a thousand unpictured mini Dove dark chocolate eggs 😉
Smoothie (cherries, banana, protein, maca, chia seeds and almond milk)
(Some of ya’ll have asked if I brought the Vitamix to Orlando.. of course I did! Sings: “I can’t liiiiiiiiive… if living is without the Vitamix. I can’t LIIIIIIIVE…”. Ok, I can live, but it certainly makes life easier)
Millet bread with almond butter, cinnamon and nanner (with mocha macchiato-flavored coffee)
Lurve.
I’m excited because tonight I’m meeting Ashley and Ryan for tea and a power yoga class- be back with the recap in the morning 🙂
Have a wonderful night!
xoxo,
G$

I want a spiralizer sooo bad! I didn’t realize that they were that small!

hahah the pic does make it look small, though
No mall??!!! What a scary thought! Although, would do wonders for all those impulse purchases! 🙂 How exciting to be featured in Glamour! Congrats!
Oh God, I wanted that spiralizer for a long time! I blame you for inducing the want in me! All the pics of your awesome food using spiralizer really makes me gasp. BTW, I am a longtime lurker on your blog!

i seriously need to hit up a mall…i need some new clothes…mine are so old and out of style (if i had any style). wish i could be up there shopping with you; i bet you could do over my closet really well!
I love a good mall trip. I haven’t had one of those in ages!!

Congrats on the Glamour posting!!! You rock 🙂 🙂
How amazing is Dove chocolate?! I could eat a ka-trillion Dove Dark Choc squares!
Maybe someday Vitamix will contact your for a Giveaway 😉 Since my poor little grad student stipend doesn’t afford me with the luxury of a Vitamix, I’ll have to just sit, hope, and pray 🙂 haha
Have a good night!
xx,
Lauren
The cedar salad and hummus look amazing, yum! I still havent tried Dove chocolate, but I’ve seen many bloggies loving it.
Omg that salad looks amazing and I have been eating hummus nonstop for days! Thank you for the giveaway..

This may be dumb but I didn’t realize sprializers were relatively cheap! I thought they would be $80-100. I had never seen one though. There may be one in my future…
i thought they were, too at first! they’re super inexpensive and work great 🙂
I want to win it!!! (anxiously staring at email inbox)
I interned in Orlando for 2 summers in college – I love that mall!!
I have been wanting a spiralizer since I first saw it on your blog!!! Hope I win 😉
hey gina I’m a long time reader (the fact I really like your blog goes w/o saying here! :D)and actually wantedto comment on your previous post! Did you major in accounting in college? What made you not decide to follow a career in accountancy and instead, focus on health? I hope this question isn’t too straight forward!
btw, there are a few rude people who flat with me, your site is on my favorites and they MAY have posted rude stuff in the past (the house has a shared computer)
hey girl,
i have a degree in finance and actually had to turn down a position with a fortune 5 company because i got married to the pilot and had to move. love always wins 🙂
in valdosta, i couldn’t get a finance job because it’s a small town (and everyone knows each other- it’s a good ol’ boy network), so after working as a department store manager and hating every minute, i quit and got certified to train in the meantime.
i would like to try and work in finance at the next base we’re stationed at, but it depends on how long we’ll be there/ the kid situation/ stuff like that 🙂
so I apologise IF they have! 🙂
I would love to win a spiralizer.. looks like you’re having fun!!
Gina,
I know you have mentioned this before but what brand of millet bread do you eat? I have celiac and I am looking for it all over!
it’s the food for life brand and is in the freezer section- you’ll love it!

A spiralizer! it’s everything I’ve ever wanted!
Katherine
PS: please provide follow-up on the dress situation! I’d love a shopping trip with Fitnessista!
Have you tried the new Tropical Larabar? Its SO good!! COngrats on your Vitamin G award. THATS AWESOME!! Enjoy yoga.
Cheers,
LC
yes, i LOVE it 🙂 it’s like a tropical vacation in a wrapper
Congrats on the Glamour blog!! Yay!
ah I would love love love a spiralizer!
A spiralizer would be oh so handy in the kitchen.
I’m heading to Orlando in a few weeks. Which are the best malls to hit?
Enjoy your vacation.
MILENNIA!
the outlets here (prime and premium) are out of control, too. 🙂
I’ve always wanted a spiralizer!!!!
id love a spiralizer! it would motivate me to make delicious raw foods and be creative with my meals!
I would love to win the spiralizer, but that would also push me to finally order some of your goodies that you use on your face.
Oh, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let me win one! A healthy eating college student would be so gratified to not have to resort to the dining hall anymore!
Question: what is great about millet bread? I looked at it in stores after seeing you eat it and (not to be a label skank) it just doesn’t seem to stack up nutritionally to other options in terms of fiber/protein per calorie compared to other breads.
Thanks! Katherine
it tastes really, REALLY good. it’s gluten-free, no added sugar and whole grain too, which is awesome 🙂
I don’t even know what a spiralizer is. But I’d like one!!!

Where do you get your millet bread? Do you buy a particular brand?
Yah! I’m happy that you had fun shopping. How was your baily’s espresso gelato shake last night? Thanks for the great givaway. I don’t think I won, and will be purchasing one anyways 🙂 Have a good night!
This looks sooo FUN! Thanks for a great giveaway!
