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 Happy 3 year anniversary! Thank you for all of the time and energy you put into your blog-it kicks bootay! 🙂
I love the workouts and recipes! I’d love to see another spin class laid out with songs and what to do for each song. I like spin classes but so often the times don’t work for me, so I try to go into the spin room and lead myself. But it can be hard to think of what to do and I often find my mind wandering after 20 minutes.
I am looking forward to all the family posts
Oops I forgot to add: I would love to see posts on how your nutrition and workouts have changed now that your expecting.
Happy blog birthday! I would love to see more workouts focused on one or two parts for when your short on time, like a quick abs workout…I’m also looking forward to seeing how you maintain fitness throughout your pregnancy!
Baby pictures! And a post on all of your variations on breakfast cookies would be great 🙂
Happy Blogiversary! I’m looking forward to reading more about your growing family!

Happy Blogiversary! You have the coolest giveaways! What I’d like to see on the blog this next year is your healthy eating and exercising through pregnancy and after. I’m at the same stage in life (have lost 60 lbs and kept it off for 2 years using weight watchers and now healthy eating and regular exercise), am getting married in July and hope to start trying for a family right away! so I LOVE reading about your pregnancy and am looking forward to reading about your journey and how you stay fit throughout it all 🙂 Also hoping I can join you with a 2012 baby!
Can’t wait to see more baby stuff and how you keep in shape while pregnant!
I’d love to hear more about your pregnancy! I feel like you do a fabulous job on providing fitness and nutrition tips, so I’d just love to hear more about you and your little baby!
In the next year…..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOG 🙂
Thanks for the fun giveaway! I love the look of that Jacket 🙂
Congratulations on year 3! I have read this blog every day and am so happy for you!
I would like to see the continued recipes- I get so many great meal ideas from you. I would love some dehydrator tips (just bought one). I would love a vlog on dehydrating! I wish you the hap-hap-happiest blogiversary ever 🙂
Lisa
yay congrats on being 3:) i love how ya keep it real around here while still being fun!!
and bring on the baby stuff:):):) i dont have one yet (or hopefully anytime soon) but who doesn’t love a cute baby:):)
I’d like to see how you change your workouts while being pregnant. I am curious for down the road when I have chidren what the best exercises to do are! 🙂
I’m excited to see how your life shifts around the new baby! So exciting!
Congrats! More recipes, please!
congrats! i look forward to seeing more family/baby posts in the next year. 🙂
I would love to see more of your newly expanding family and how it is going to affect your eating and workouts. I LOVE your blog!!!!!
I’m looking forward to baby updates and more awesome workouts 🙂 I also liked you on Facebook.
I am looking forward to seeing modified exercises and recipes for pregnant women. You totally need to take it easy when it comes to exercising but you don’t need to cut it out all together. Some women are scared that too much moving around can harm the baby, but I am sure exercise is still fine, it just needs to be modified. So I am very interested to see how you change your lifestyle and workout style in preparing for a baby. =) Congrats again Gina!!!
CONGRATS!!!! on being 3! You are so inspiring I can’t wait to see what awaits you and the Pilot with your new family adventures. Best Wishes!
Gina!

I want to see baby photos! And Bella photos, too!
If you have the time, I’d also love more workout schedules/moves. Summer Shape up is one of my favorite work out programs and one of the few I stick to for the entire program. Thanks for providing them!
Whoa- looks like you have a lot of reading to do tonight!!! 🙂 Anyway, a BIG congratulations on your 3 year anniversary in the blog world! Your blog has definitely changed my life for the better!! In the next year, I’d love to see more cooking/food posts!! I always thought I was eating “healthy” but I didn’t realize how much processed food/junk I was actually eating! You’ve definitely helped me become more “clean”, so than you!!!
Hi Gina! I <3 you and your blog. I have really enjoyed all the fun workouts, great recipes and discussions. So for the upcoming year I would just like for you to keep doing what you are doing! I look forward to following you in your journey to motherhood, and am so happy for you and Tom! CONGRATS!
