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

Hi,
Love your blog. I’d like to see more on your workouts through your pregnancy too 🙂
Hey Gina,
I would like to see more workout options, or fun cardio routines. I know you have a list on your ‘fitness’ link, it doesn’t seem the most user friendly… What I would really LOVE is a Fitnessista workout DVD!! You could do one of those 2 parters, a 1/2 hour cardio and 1/2 hour weights, or maybe even 3 parts with a yoga segment?!? My friend did her own pregnancy dvds and markets them, so it must be possible to do it yourself! I would buy one 🙂
Congratulations on the 3 year anniversary!!
I love your fashion page – more fashion finds would so much fun! Also, the summer shape up plans are amazing!! Thank you for writing those 🙂
Congrats on turning 3, its gonna be a big year! I’d love to see more exercises that I can incorporate into my workouts to shake things up and target different muscles. Oh and I like hearing about your pregnancy, especially because we’re considering having one of our own in the next few years; and there always seems to be things that they don’t tell you until you start researching because you’ve got one of your own on the way and you’re left going “what? No way? Why don’t people tell you this stuff before you start cooking the bun?” 🙂
Surprise me! That’s what keeps me coming back. I never know what your up to. 🙂
In the next year (months!), would love to see more baby bump pictures!! 🙂
Happy anniversary! Thanks for a wonderful blog. I would like to see pregnancy workouts and even more recipes.
I am so excited to see how you adjust your workouts once you have a little one. Congrats on 3 years!
Hi Gina! Never commented before, but have been reading your blog religiously for the past 2 1/2 years.
For next year, I’d love to hear more about your baby journey. Personally, having babies terrifies me (I just finished university and everything terrifies me at this point), but you make it look awesome!
I think it would also be cool if you did a post on eating healthily with nut allergies. I love all of your recipes/suggestions, but as so much stuff contains almonds, it’d be great to see a post suggesting alternatives.
Congrats on the 3 year mark and the new baby! Love from Canada.
just tweeted!!
I’d love to see all things baby related, including how your workouts will change!
I’m a new follower and I’m LOVING your blog! Happy 3rd anniversary! I would love to see healthy but inexpensive meals. Thank you and congratulations!! <3
Post lots o’ baby pictures! Also, I’d love to see more outfit pics.

I love everything you’ve done so far!! maybe some more recipes?? like a weekly recipe for a dinner or meal? i love all the pics of food you upload!
You’re going to get inundated today! I’d love to keep seeing what we’re seeing already, a wonderful mix of info and entertainment. Like a lot of people, I look forward to reading the blog every day 🙂
Wow, happy birthday bloggy! Congratulations Gina, your blog has become a little home away from home for people to check in! Keep up the awesome work, can’t wait to read more!!
I love hearing baby info/news! I am in the time of my life where many of my friends are beginning to get pregnant and it’s interesting to hear about how it effects your body, etc.
Happy Blogiversary!! I love reading your blog so much, it is such a motivator for me. I hope to see much more yummy recipes, baby related posts, and exercise tips! Keep up the good work 🙂
Happy Blogiversary! Just keep doin what your doin. I love the reviews, the occasional recipe, hearing about your shenanigans, reading your family and fashion posts, show me your fit, and the focus on posts. Can’t wait to see more belly pics as you grow! 🙂

Congrats on the blog anniversary!
Being a new mom myself, I’m looking forward to hearing more motherhood-related stories!

i love the family posts you are currently doing and would love to see them continue! i’d love to see what your lil guy or girl is eating too!
thanks for this giveaway, you and the pilot are so generous!
I really love the workout plans that you create and would love to see more of those throughout the year. I would also like if you wrote more about how you are keeping yourself healthy throughout your pregnancy, what foods you are eating/avoiding and exercises you are doing/avoiding.
I’d love to see posts on your new little one that’s coming as well as insight as to how you lose the baby weight. Love the shape up workouts and of course more food ideas! Thank you for all you share with all of us!!
Congrats! I have been a loyal reader for 1.5 years, so I feel like I am congratulating a friend :)! Your blog is the only one that has remained consistently interesting and relevant to me over an extended period of time. AMAZING WORK!!!
Happy 3 years sweet Gina! I can’t thank you enough for helping inspire me to live my life out loud every day! I am SO excited about your little bambino and looking forward to joining you on your journey into mommyhood (me too!). My hubs loves to read the posts by the Pilot so I’d love to see a few more of those this year!
Congrats on three years! I’d like to continue seeing lots of workout inspiration!
Well I think your blog is just absolutely fabulous to begin with – but more gluten-free recipes would be great along with more workouts – I still rock out to some of your elliptical workouts (I get bored verrrry easy on those “things”)! Happy three years!!!!!
I would like to see some more posts about house-hunting and what it involved while The Pilot was away, as well as posts about maintaining fitness during pregnancy and how to adapt to a “new normal” while pregnant 🙂
I’d like to hear about your pregnancy journey and how you stay fit as well as the things you and the Pilot work on together to keep a healthy (fit) and happy relationship 🙂
I would love to see more of what you already do – post workouts and recipes! I plan to try your beet burgers pretty soon.
I would like to see more updates on fashion (including cute pregnancy outfits) and some new fitness ideas. Thanks for blogging!!
I love the content of this blog. I am very excited to see how someone who prides themself on fitness and healthy living incorporates it into their pregnancy. I also love the recipe ideas! I can’t wait to keep reading!
I can’t WAIT to see more baby updates (among other things of course)! Also excited for new recipes and exercises to keep life entertaining… Keep up the AWESOME work! =)
I just started a fitness/healthy eating/lifestyle change after graduating from college a month ago (I call this my “big-girl” lifestyle – haha). A friend recommended your blog to me and I read it EVERY day now (sometimes twice or three times 🙂 I have been starting my day with breakfast cookies and cookie dough cereal and following the summer shape-up and have lost 4 pounds! Your blog is so funny and encouraging – I can’t wait for more easy recipes and “shape-ups” – they have really made my “big-girl” lifestyle fun and totally do-able! Thanks, G!
Happy 3rd Anniversary! I would like to please read more about Fashion Friday and the advantures you and the pilot go on together oh and the family life! I enjoy reading your trips to Vegas! I would also like to read about your post pregnancy weight loss and any work outs, weight training and your personal training/teaching classes! I love how you post a lot of pictures! I don’t blog bc I am not a very good writer but love to be able to read yours everyday. Your blog is very inspirational! Thank you!
I’m looking forward to reading all about your journey to motherhood and how your healthy lifestyle translates to you new little family =)
I love your workouts on the blog! Keep them up! And happy blogiversary!
I would love to see more fashion, yoga info, and of course the fitnessista/pilot baby!
I can’t wait to see more baby stuff (under the family tab, of course). 🙂 And it’ll be fun to get more pilot stuff too now that he is home!
I would like to see you continue your passion for fitness and health, your love for your pilot and bella and your inspiring influence for everyone that finds your blog. Your positive attitude has inspired me and I thank you for that. Cheers! to many more years!
happy blogiversary! i would LOVE to see lots of baby fitnessista/pilot photos in january. and more gf recipes — especially for breads, etc.
I can’t wait to see how you progress in your pregnancy and get back in shape after…. Although you will probably stay in shape the entire time. It will be a very interesting and well deserved journey to read about. Your blog is one of the first that I started reading and although I don’t comment much, I think you are awesome.. My husband is also a pilot :)…. and I gave birth to twin girls six months ago. I have been trying to follow a lot of your advice lately.
I love reading your blog, I just started reading it a couple of months ago and look forward to every post! Everything you write about now is great. I Love the recipes, workouts, health, fashion, life etc…keep that coming over the next year!!
Congratulations on your 3 year blogiversary! This giveaway is awesome! I like reading about your recipes and fitness challenges. I also like reading gluten-free eating tips!
I just became a follower of you on twitter and tweeted about your giveaway! Those Toms are so cute. I also liked you on facebook. Not sure where to answer the question though.
Congrats on the three years! I would love to see more workouts and also how to maintain health and fitness during the pregnancy (plus lots of cute belly pictures!)
I can’t wait to follow your journey with the little bun in your oven! We’re preparing to have babies in the next little while, and it’s so fun to follow others throughout the process.
Happy blogiversary! Definitely can’t wait to see more of the baby bump photos!! 🙂
