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

Congrats! I would def. like to see more recipes and/or easy dinner ideas…that’s the one meal I struggle with planning the most.
More great recipes!
I’d like to see more healthy recipes! And ideas for packing lunches for work.
I love the gluten free and vegan recipes–because I myself eat gluten free and vegan–especially the baked goods recipes b/c those are so hard! 🙂
In the next year I’m excited to see how you incorporate workouts into your pregnancy…and i love your fashion posts! 🙂
OMG can I still enter even though I won your macaroons before? I’ve been coveting that jacket like nobody’s business!
I would love to see more raw recipes in the future!
Happy 3 year blogiversary! I would love to see how you go about staying active/in shape while you’re preggers! But the blog is great and I love it how it is 🙂

I would love to see lots and lots of baby stuff…how you juggle baby/work, what you feed the baby, baby everything! 🙂
Hi Gina! Happy blogiversary! I love all your single serving and meals for two ideas. I’m so happy for you and the pilot, I would love to see some baby bump pics this year!

Congratulations on three years on the blog! For me, I can’t wait to see more baby posts in this next year! So looking forward to reading all about your pregnancy and family life 😀
First, I absolutely love your blog! It actually inspired me to start my own: runkatyrun.com I’ve found that writing helps to hold me accountable to living healthier. I especially like the “Focus On…” segments because it gives me ideas of workouts to try out-so I would love to see those continue in the future. Also, we hear about the classes that you teach pretty often and I think that it would be fun to see a little glimpse of those-maybe a video or workout routine based off of them. =o)
Congratulations!! So many great things happening for you – it’s exciting! I love your blog. I’d love to read more about how you found the right balance with food and how you were able to maintain your weight loss.
I am looking foward the hearing about babyista! I would love to see more protein powder recipes… I am addicted to amazeballs!
Happy anniversary! I’d like to see the kinds of things you’ll be doing to keep baby healthy. I also love your pregnancy posts the best right now so more about pregnancy!!
Congrats on 3 years!! I would love to see more about how you stay fit!
I am actually curious to read about being healthy during pregnancy and what it takes to get back into shape after baby.
I always love more recipes!!
Thanks for three awesome years, even though I’ve only been reading for two. I would like to see maybe some more detailed descriptions/reviews of exercise classes maybe? But that will be hard for you right now! No pressure or anything. 🙂
I would like to see more vegan/vegetarian recipes! Simple and difficult! I love too cook!
I know it’s not for everyone, but I can’t wait to see more baby/family posts!
Congrats, Gina. I want to see more fitness posts, along with more baby updates. Also can’t wait to read about the new house, ooh, and maternity fashion!
I’d like to see more playlists or music you workout to!
Wow, so many comments. Been following your The Fitnessista for a little over two years now. My first introduction to fitness/health blogs and I’ve been hooked ever since. Literally changed my life, I’m very phyiscally active, started Yoga and pump classes, ran a marathon and now, happily, follow a clean, vegan diet.
I’ve never owned or even tried on any Lululemon (no stores nearby) but everytime I see them in the fitness blog world I’m tempted to take a vaction to a Lululemon city for the sole purpose of shopping.
I’d love a foam rolling video. It seems so simple but then you get down there to start and it’s super awkward (to me at least).
I would love to see more video blogs. Baby pictures will be great, too!
Congrats! More recipes, please! and more Bella pics 🙂
Baby pics!!
I want to see more workouts! You kick my booty, I can do them at home and, with all the other readers doing them too, it feels like I have thousands of workout buddies 🙂 in fact, I’m pretty sure I saw a girl at the YMCA doing the same week 2 workout as me….
I would like to see more on the go healthy recipes like for packed lunches or quick dinners! Congrats on three years!
I love your blog and I look forward to reading it everyday, and now even more so that your family and your life experiences are going to be growing. I’d love to see more playlist and smaller (not as big as the shape up series) workouts. You inspire me to work out more often and to eat new, different and healthier things! Thanks for all you do!
Recipes, workouts and BABY! 🙂
I love your blog and don’t consider my day complete until i read it! Congratulations on 3 years and keep up the great content!
I love your blog and read it daily. I look forward to more stories on you and the Pilot. Date nights, vacations, a baby, i cant wait!
Wow, those are some generous giveaways!
Over the next year I’d be interested in seeing what you feed your baby…as I’ve always wondered how I will go about that! And of course I’d like to see oodles of pics, so I can live vicariously through you!!! I want a baby!!!!
I love your blog just the way it is…but, it would be cool if maybe you picked a reader (me!) and gave us a workout plan and followed the results. Just a suggestion. 😉
I would love to see continued workout posts through your pregnancy and more recipes!
your blog is addictive the way it is and i’d like to see it stay the same! you are SO inspirational and encouraging with your fitness posts and i have to admit i LOVE every recipe (keep these coming!)
my sister (and gym partner) just found out she and her hubby are expecting TWINS! so i’m super excited to see how you tweek your fitness levels/goals now that you are expecting as well. i will be sure to pass on the info!
congrats on 3 years : )
more recipes and workouts!!!
congrats on 3 fab years!
I would love to hear more about how you made the switch into a career you love, and how it will benefit you and your growing family 🙂
Congrats!!! I LOVE your blog, and am looking forward to more recipes and motivation!!
I love your blog, it’s really an inspiration to all of us new bloggers out there:). I am a vegetarian, so I would love to see any meat free recipes you have to offer!
