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!!
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)
(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

Happy blog-anniversary! I’m from Finland, and I have been reading your blog like a year now. I really really like it, you have very inspiring eating and exercise tips and I love to follow American way of living healthy. I used to study in the USA, but now been living back in Finland for few years. I sort of miss the USA, so I love to read your blog and sort of feel like I’m back in there :)! I would like to see more healthy eating tips, fitness exercises and see how your lifestyle changes while your pregnant and after having the baby.
Good luck with everything!
Happy Blogiversary Gina!
I always enjoy visiting your blog every morning and honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing. I appreciate your healthy treats and meals, I love your workouts and get motivated to be active, and your new fashion and family tabs are so much fun to read! (maybe a pilot tab would be fun?) You got it all already! One stop shop!
Have a great day!
I would love to see more workouts based solely on bodyweight. I tend to work out a lot at home, doing pushups and crunches and jumping jacks – but I’m always looking for new and challenging moves using just my own body. Also, those new Toms are totally adorbs, I agree 100%. Happy Blogiversary!
I’d like to see posts about motivation to work out and live healthy!
I’m just looking forward to seeing baby fitnessista/pilot! 🙂
I love your website! I visit it daily. I am looking forward to seeing all the baby pics and posts!
I’m a recent follower and look forward to reading everyday! Congratulations on your pregnancy! I am looking forward to some baby posts, as well as some good recipes! Thanks!
I hope to see lots of pictures of your beautiful new baby in future blog posts! While not the reason I read blogs, I love cute children/pet pictures.
I’d like to see more fashion posts, recipes & definitely would love to see your skincare/makeup routine!
More recipes! All of the ones I have tried from you have been successful, the protein pancakes are a frequent breakfast item at my house 🙂 I am looking forward to reading more on the family page as well, very exciting!
Oh..and workouts, maybe more “quick” ones for when time is limited?
Your blog has inspired me in many ways, keep it up!
I’d love to see (even more) workouts! I am also in love with cookie dough cereal, so more ways to fuel up would also be great to see!
Congrats on 3 years! I am extremely interested in continuing to observe your pregnancy and then also looking forward to seeing how you and the Pilot raise your child! (i know its awhile away, but im getting pumped for you guys!)
LOVE THAT JACKETTTT!!!!!
I read your blog every day and it makes my day brighter. I can’t wait to see how your eats/workout routines evolve as your family grows. Keep up the fantastic job!
Congrats on 3 years! I can’t wait to watch your pregnancy progress this next year! And also great tips you come up with on getting back to yourself after the baby…my biggest struggle right now!
Happy Anniversary! What I am looking forward to next year on your blog is the birth of your little bundle of joy and the crazy (yet healthy) food you eat throughout your pregnancy. Im sure there is tons of amazing stuff to come. Once again, congrats!
I’m actually looking forward to hearing about your pregnancy journey. I also love the workouts you post!
I look forward to reading about your pregnancy journey and how your fitness and eating habits change, as well as your fitness journey post-pregnancy. Congrats on 3 years!
I love your blog!! Your voice is my favorite part – you have an excellent writing style! I’d love to see so much about your baby next year!
Congratulations on 3 years!! That’s amazing! I think I would love to see more grocery lists! They are so helpful for people like me who meander aimlessly around the grocery store. Thanks!
Happy Birthday Day bloggie!!!! I’d like to see more recipes please!! Your eats are always yummy…I think you need to write a book with recipes and reveal your yummy looking macaroon recipe 🙂 And of course, I am loving the family blogs now so I can’t wait to continue the journey with you!!
In the next year….hmmm. Keep doing what you do because CLEARLY, you’ve got it going on! I always look forward to fashion and foodie posts though- honestly, I have not tried a recipe of yours that I didn’t like…and I may be the world’s pickiest eater so that’s saying a lot. I selfishly hope that a Fitnessista cookbook is in your not too distant future 🙂 Congrats on everything!
um.. more macaroons? 🙂
Happy Birthday, blog! In the coming year I’m really excited to read about how you will balance family, fitness, career and fun. Now that I think about it, I’m hoping you will develop some kid-friendly healthy recipes that I can prepare for my own two kiddos once your tot is eating table food. 🙂 So excited for you guys!
Happy Blogiversary! I have been reading your blog for about 6 months and love it! Especially your work out routintes! I would love to see how you stay healthy and fit during your pregnancy (congrats!) !!!
Happy Blogiversary! Love, love, love your blog! I always save it for last because I want to save the best for last. 🙂

Congrats on the 3 years! I’m loving the fashion post so i’d love to see more of those (especially the ones that involve good deals 🙂

Balancing life to include motherhood, marriage, meals, work, home, and family obligations can be both challenging and fulfilling. I can’t wait to hear your perspective on living and loving life. <3
Happy Birthday Blog…looking forward to many more!!!
As someone who is thinking of starting a little family soon, I say keep those family posts coming! I love reading them and finding out little tips and info from you 🙂
What I would like to see is a post with my name listed in the winner catagory! j/k…. what I would love to see is a macaroon recipe, and I love the inspiration of how you and Pilot treat each other with patience and kindness, despite the difficulties that life brings.
I’d also like to hear more about your eats and exercising during your pregnancy. We aren’t planning on a little on yet, but those are some of my main concerns when the time comes. Looking forward to hearing what works for you and how things change 🙂 Oh, and happy blogiversary!!
So I liked you on FB and followed you on Twitter, but I really REALLY want the jacket. Please pick me!

I love your blog! And I’d love to hear more about the pregnancy/being a mommy, and maybe more recipes!

Keep up the amazing work you inspiration, you!!
Congrats on 3 years of the blog. I love your pregnancy updates and more recipes.

I love this blog. Congratulations on the growth of your family. Reading about your excitement is contagious and I for about 1 millisecond wondered if my hubby and I are ready for that yet (the very next thought was ” am I crazy?!”).
I am loving the Summer Shape Up and welcome any and all workout plans/suggestions you can share. The more variety, the more my body responds and the less bored I become. 🙂
I love your blog! In the next year I am looking forward to more recipes and workouts. I am also looking forward to following you on your pregnancy journey.
I’m excited to see how you work out and eat while pregnant. It will also be so much fun to read about your life as your little one arrives. The love you will feel for your baby is like nothing else on this earth. Life changing!
Happy blogaversary!!! I would love more quick and easy recipes!! I hate cooking but am trying to fall in love with the kitchen and every time I see your eats I wish I could eat just like you! LOL
OMG I so left the I off my name. I’m Christi not Christ. LOL. Sorry about that!
hahahaha… that would be awesome! Jesus is commenting on Gina’s blog! =)
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ok, that is hilarious.
I’m obsessed with your blog! I just started reading it about 4 months ago but actually spent a few (very slow weeks at work) and read back through every post!! I cannot wait to hear all about your pregnancy journey, love the belly pics!! <3
Idk, I’d say keep doing what you’re doing….your blog is pretty perfect as is 🙂
