A very special blogiversary [giveaway]- ended

Hi friends 🙂 How’s your morning going? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. <3

So the blog is 3 years old!!

roon

The blog actually turned 3 last week, but with the Summer Shape Up and exciting news, I didn’t want to overload the week with too much going on.

For this post, I was originally planning on doing a list of events that have happened in the past 3 years, and then I realized:

1. A LOT of stuff has gone down and

2. the events aren’t what matter– it’s about the community, support, discussions and relationships that have been created in this tiny speck on the internet 🙂 You are 99.9% of the reason why this blog is what it is… I just write it, you’re the ones who show up for the party 🙂

This little blog began as an urge to share my love of health and a distraction from online shopping while I was bored in Valdosta – it has grown so much in the past 3 years. It’s changed and evolved with me, and I’ve had so much fun writing every word.

As a little thank you for changing my life, making this so rewarding and enjoyable, and just for being awesome, I thought it would be fun to do a little giveaway. Giving is always better than receiving for special occasions, anyway 🙂 I picked a few of my absolute favorite things and this giveaway is sponsored by myself and the Pilot 😀

To go with the “3 years” theme, there will be 3 different winners:

-1 commenter will receive my favorite lululemon jacket, the Define Jacket in a color/size of their choice ($99)

-1 Facebook fan will receive a pair of Toms shoes (size/color of choice) and a Nars Orgasm blush from Sephora ($100)

(I’m OBSESSED with the new crochet ones!! And everyone needs this blush)

-1 Twitter friend will receive a iTools Style Winder 1” curling iron ($140)

image romper

(I still owe ya a video on how to use it, because it’s life-changing)

+ each winner will receive a dozen macaroons in a flavor of their choice 😀

This means you have 3 different ways to win 3 different prizes:

***This giveaway has ended as of 9:35 EST on June 15.

 

Thank you again for an incredible 3 years 🙂

Love you guys,

Gina

    I’m a recent follower – I’m going to have to go back and read the archives more! I really love the workout plans – I’ve been following along with the summer one. I work out on my own, so it’s nice to think there’s other people out there doing what I’m doing too (it’s like a free class!)

    Over the next year, I’d LOVE to hear about how you adapt your healthy lifestyle while pregnant and as a new mom- what changes? What stays the same? Different nutrition? Different exercises!

    Can’t wait to hear all about it! 🙂

  17. Rachel @ The Perseverance Diaries on June 14, 2011 at 10:11 am

    Happy 3 year anniversary! I would love to see more recipes! All of your food looks so delicious and I love all of your healthy and mostly vegan dishes so it would be great to try them out. Once you move it would also be neat to see the story of your big move from the unpacking to the decorating!

  18. Emily on June 14, 2011 at 10:11 am

    (I’m also following you on facebook and did the twiter post!)

  19. Natalie @ Will Jog For Food on June 14, 2011 at 10:11 am

    I would love to see more of your kick booty workouts AND I can’t wait to hear about Pregnancy & Mommyhood 🙂 Especially since I’m thinking about taking that plunge in the next year.

  20. Chelsea M on June 14, 2011 at 10:11 am

    Congratulations on three years! I just wish I had seen it from the start. In the future I would love to see more of your workout routine reviews (I’m sure pregnancy will change some of your activities) and some inventive recipes.

    Congrats again!

  21. Amanda @Fashionably Plate on June 14, 2011 at 10:11 am

  23. kristen on June 14, 2011 at 10:12 am

    happy birthday blog!! and i’d love love love to win the Tom’s and blush! 🙂

  24. Katherina @ Zephyr Runs on June 14, 2011 at 10:12 am

    I don’t know if I’d change much about your blog! It’s a hub for workout resources for me and I utilize it regularly. If anything I’d say more of that, more workout routine ideas. I feel like I’m actually following an instructor or in a secret class when I follow your workouts rather than coming up with my own and it’s a nice feeling 🙂

    And Happy Birthday!

  25. Aubrey on June 14, 2011 at 10:12 am

    Hey Gina, I would love to hear more about you and the pilots new growing family. I also love the workout tips and fashion pages 🙂

    I’m def interestd in hearing about nutrition and exercise, and how it might change, during your pregnancy and into motherhood.
