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

My favorite things about the blog and what I would like to see more of in the next year are more shape up-type things (I love and use all of the new and older ones!), more G-free recipes (I’m thinking of experimenting with it myself); I’m also interested in seeing how you manage weight gain and fitness through and after your pregnancy. Finally, your openness and the way you treat your readers like good friends really stands out and keeps me coming back every day. Happy blogiversary!

Would love to read more about your eating ups and downs during your pregnancy. I love everything about your blog and just keep up the good work!
I stumbled upon your website a little over a month ago and love your structure and content as is but I am looking forward to seeing stuff about how you’re going to manage your nutrition/fitness throughout the pregnancy. I am not currently pregnant but knowing it could happen in the next couple of years I am looking for advice on maintaining my weight and staying healthy before, during, and after a pregnancy.
Wow, what a generous giveaway! Congrats on the blog b-day! I just started following your blog a few months ago, & I’m addicted! 🙂 I will look forward to hearing about life w/ baby in the next year. 🙂

I liked you on facebook and tweeted!
Wow, what an amazing giveaway (x3!)
I love your blog just the way it is! The only thing I want is more meal ideas (I just discovered brown rice tortillas from you – yum, thank you!), and more fashion posts (those are fun!). And I’d love to see you post your recipe for the “Almond Butter Crunch Moonie Pie” you created (remember that?!). I still think about that moonie pie! 🙂
Happy Blogiversary!
Congrats on 3 years! It’s quite an accomplishment!
I would love to see more food recipes, especially since I’m trying to start on my own healthy journey.
Happy happy blogiversary! Though I’ve only been following for one of the three years, I feel like I learn new things every week 🙂
I look forward to more seasonal shape-up programs (I am LOVING the Summer Shape-Up right now!) and healthy eating tips. Also, though I’m not planning on having a child anytime soon, I’m excited to read how you’re going to stay fit and fabulous through your pregnancy.
Thanks, in advance, for another three years of blogging 🙂 You know I’ll be reading!
Congrats! I really like your blog, especially the Family tab addition I would like to see more post on that, and after 9 months how you and your baby eat 🙂 I am very very interested also to see how you will maintain ur fitness schedule during the pregnancy! I want to win those delicious looking on screen macaroons! Good luck, and Happy blogiversary!
I’m new to your blog, but I love it so far! Since I’m in college I’d love to see some cheap meal ideas and some cheap date ideas. Congrats, your blog is a toddler!
I *love* your blog! It’s so real, and I love that you have such great recipes and provide grocery lists/meal plans! I would love to see success stories from your Shape-Up plans; I’m sure there are tons and they would be so motivating!
Its hard to pin point one particular thing because life is all about balance, so I would like to see the changes that take place with a new member being added to your family and how everything including your fitness, eating, and fashion styles will adapt to suit your new life!
I love all your baby posts…and video posts too! So more of those would be great! Thanks for creating such a wonderful blog!
Happy Blogiversary!! I can’t believe it’s been 3 years. I love your Summer Shape-Up workouts and meal plans. I also enjoy your recipes. Your blog has grown so much over the last 3 years. I can’t wait to see what the future brings!
i love your blog gina! i’d love to see lots more family posts! 🙂 your pregnancy journey is so exciting!
Happy blog birthday! I am so excited to see your transformation into a mother over the next year!
I’d love to see the macaroon recipe!!! But if that’s going to stay a secret until your cookbook comes out, I understand 😉
I just found this blog, so anything and everything is what I am excited to read! Going through your previous post I wonder how I haven’t found you and your wonderful blog before! I truly have been missing out. Congrats!
I want to see more family posts! I love them and I’m so excited for you!
following on facebook!
I like the format of this blog, so I wouldn’t change much… maybe more recipes?
Happy Blog Birthday! I pretty much like everything on your blog and I`m loving your family posts!!!!!! Keep writing them!!
Best giveaway everrrr!!!!! I love your fashion posts, I think it’s because we share the same style but I love seeing your new fab finds and fashion advice 🙂
It would be fun to have baby guesses as your due date draws near…birthday, sex of the baby (are you finding out?), weight, length, etc. LOVE experiencing this pregnancy with you so please keep up the family posts! Good luck to your family and Happy Anniversary!
Happy blogiversary!! I’ve been a long time reader and have always loved your blog. I’m finally starting to comment more….especially since your exciting news since my and hubby and I want to start trying soon. Congrats again on that and what an exciting month for you! 🙂
I just stumbled across your blog a few months and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I know there are a lot of people that come to me with questions about how to transition from the “typical” American diet to something more like what you do (pretty much identical to my eating habits). Maybe a post about easy ways to transition (going veggie cold turkey was easy for me, but probably not for most people).
And I know the blog is more fitness/nutrition focused, but I do enjoy every once in a while when you write about how you’re dealing with the Pilot being gone. Makes me feel like I’m not so retarded for being upset when mine is gone. 😉 And DEFINITELY posts about getting an amazing body back post-baby!
and how do I get my picture next to my comments? haha
I really enjoy reading your blog! would love see more recipes 🙂
I’d like to see more of the same, particularly more recipes and more workouts. Thanks Gina!
I’d love to see how you adopt your love for fitness and food during the various stages of your pregnancy (and baby bump photos!).
I’d love to see a macaroon recipe! That book deal better come soon 🙂
I’m a new reader but I adore your blog! The thing I like the most is how you inspire without seeming preachy or uppity, or like you’re trying to win some kind of award, if that makes sense 🙂 In the coming year, I’d love to hear about your new family and how you stay motivated to workout, even when things get busy.
I’d love to see more posts about fashion! Love me some fashion tips from athletic women!
I love the direction you’re in (fitness, food, fashion), and would like to see more family stuff, can’t wait to see what your lil baby will look like.
I’d love to see more recipes with interesting veggies! I just joined a CSA and need someone’s expertise to help me use up all these strange veggies that I’ve never cooked with before.
happy blogiversary! i can’t wait to see more family posts! my husband and i are trying, so i look forward to reading about your experiences!
Love your blog! If you were going to add something I think it would be great if you added some posts with tips (squeezing in workouts, food, fashion etc) for busy Moms. You’ll be speaking from experience. 🙂
Happy blogiversary! I’m excited to read about your pregnancy and the new addition to your family 🙂 I’m hoping to learn some new workouts and good eats, as we hope to get pregnant with our 3rd soon!
