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 blogiversary! Keep doing what you’re doing, and I would love to see more fashion posts
Wow, what a generous giveaway! I’d like to see more fitness moves, though you do a great job of including lots of fitness topics on the blog already 🙂

Hyedi
I absolutely <3 the mix you have of food, fitness, travel, personal, etc. What an awesome balance!! I would love to see more of the same!! Also, CONGRATS on your new addition! What a beautiful blessing!
I’d love to see more “boot camp” style workouts that can be done at home… winter mornings in New England make it very tough to get to the gym before work, and exercisetv on demand can get boring. thanks!

You are so generous <3 I am excited for more Family posts- I am especially eager to see how you eat while pregnant. I am a long time vegetarian, so proper nutrition while pregnant is important to me. I'm not pregnant now, but will probably start trying in the next few years.
Thanks Gina! and Happy Anniversary!

Happy Blogiverssary!!
I would love to see MORE baby stuff on the family page!! We’re preggo with baby #2 and due in October. I was so happy to find your blog after baby #1 (Oct. 09) when I was getting back to my old self!!
I would love to see more about healthy swaps and how to avoid giving in to cravings. It’s really difficult to listen to your hunger cues sometimes- especially when there is a dessert buffet staring you in the face 🙂 Also, it would be really fun to see how you’re incorporating fitness and nutrition into your new family life once the baby arrives! Happy blogiversary!
Congrats! Your blog was the first I found and my favorite to this day. I just found out I was gluten intolerant… But am nervous about relying on gluten free products. More recipes and a healthy approach to a gluten free lifestyle would be great! And can’t wait for more family posts!
I’m loving all the new additions you have to your blog – the fashion, the family, and I still love the fitness and food. I’m obsessed with food though, so I’d love to see more. Also, maybe more about the Tucson area. I live in the Phoenix area and I’ve only been down to Tucson for a concert or two and I’m curious about the food and culture in that area. 🙂
I would loveeee to see pictures and hear more about the inevitably adorable baby Fitnessista (or Pilot) ! Congrats on becoming a mother Gina!
Happy blogiversary! I would love some workouts that can be done at the playground. There is one right by my house and I think all the slides and stairs could be a great workout, but I just don’t know where to start! Congrats on three years!
happy anniversary! i’ve been reading for a year & this is the first blog i check!
i would love to see more gluten free dessert recipes – w/ tons of pix of course!
thanks gina!
HAPPY BLOG BIRTHDAY!!!! I just want you to continue your awesome posts day in and day out! Thank you for this opportunity 🙂
Happy anniversary! Congratulations on your pregnancy! I would like to see continued fashion advice, which I definitely need. At the risk of sounding mushy, I just want to see you happy. I know you have been through a lot of changes.
Love your blog!! I’m excited to read more about how you will stay fit during your pregnancy, and more how-to videos (esp how you curl your hair)!
In the next year I would love to to read about your pregnancy and how you are adjusting your life. Eats, fitness, etc. And more of what you already blog about, because it is SO good!
I would love to see great workouts for during pregnancy and how to lose the baby weight after your pregnancy!! thanks for being so generous!
Happy Anniversary! I enjoy your family posts so I hope you keep up with those. Would also love to see more gluten free recipes.
