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 Gina! Well, I think your blog is pretty awesome as it is, but I certainly can’t wait to see more of your new little cutie patootie in about 7 months!
That jacket looks so comfy and still adorable…I hope I win!
Thanks for 3 great years =)
I would love to see more fashion posts and I would love to see you keep changing things up with the Summer and winter shape ups: They are AWESOME!
I would also love to see me win the macaroons and jacket!
Hi Gina! Love your blog!! I would love to see more recipes. Nutrition is the hard part for me and I know its the most important!
<3katie!
Recipes and hearing all about baby Pilot/Fitnessista!
I would like to see more videos (on anything!) and posts on how you maintain your health and fitness while pregnant. Congrats on the blog anniversary!
I love the blog as it is but i cant wait to see all the baby stuff!!
I love all your fashion posts so I’d like to see more of that!
I’d like to see how you grow as a person and as a new mom over the next year! It will be so cool to see how you adapt to your new family member.
i would love to see more pictures of plant-heavy recipes!
love seeing your daily eats as I get so inspired from what you create!
Happy 3rd Anniversary!
3 years has flown by!
Pretty much, I just can’t WAIT for all the preggo and baby fun in the coming year and next. Its gonna be great. 🙂
I love your blog, and I look forward to seeing more workouts, recipes and I enjoy your posts on your personal life as well.
Hi Gina! Congrats on the blog anniversary! I would love to see more fashion posts. Thanks for the giveaway. =)
I am looking forward to seeing how you settle into your own home with your Husband in the next year. Which would include decorating, projects, and design. I am also looking forward to weekly baby updates and recipes that are simple.
I read because of the things I have in common with you, your fun vibe, and because I am always taking something away from posts- Thanks!
as a very new mother (of twins!), i would love frequent posts about your pregnancy journey and how your life changes once the baby comes. can’t wait for those – don’t worry about bogging down the blog with baby stuff!!! it’s awesome and exciting to read. happy blogiversary!
I have to say, I love your blog just as it is. I would really love to have more of the same; recipes, fitness tips, shape ups, and family posts! I found your blog about 1 1/2 years ago and it has become my favorite blog. Everything here is so inspirational, motivational, and uplifting. I love the family section: the real life posts made me like this fabulous blog even more. Thanks for all you do, and congrats!!
I can’t wait to see your beautiful BABBBYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also everything that’s already on here 🙂 And more Pilot posts/Vlogs/Q&A! And a few more baby shots, just for good measure
I’d like to see how you fit back into your fitness routine after the baby is born!
Congrats on 3 yrs! I just want to see more of what you already give us. I don’t think I have just one favorite part: from the workouts, the food, the fam, it is all so real!! Keep it up!!
I’ve never ever won something so this would be incredible! Id love to keep seeing workouts and recipies. Love your blog!
Firstly, congrats on the pregnancy, new house, hubby at home, etc.! Having a good year, eh? Secondly, I always enjoy your recipe and workout videos and would love to see more! Down the road it would be interesting to see/read more about childhood nutrition with your new little one.
Happy birthday, blog! 🙂
More GF recipes!!! (Focus on the “sweet treats” of course)
I love your workout plans and your yummy recipes! I love your blog!!
Congratulations on such a great milestone. I’d love to see even more yoga!
What a great idea!!! But shouldn’t you be the one receiving the Bday gifts? I’m just sayin’ 😉
I think im obsessed with your blog i seriously have to check it everyday and i love seeing all the new stuff you post! Im really excited for you about your pregnancy and i think it would be really cool if you would post a lot of stuff about how you stay fit and healthy while your pregnant. The things your post are so fun to read so keep it up and congrats on the 3 years!
Hi Gina! I love your blog, but what I would love to see more of is your great workouts. I get so much use out of them (I think the best my clothes have ever fit was after winter shape up). I know you have a fitness tab, I use it all the time before the gym, but I want more….greedy greedy, I know 🙂
i just cant wait to see more baby stuff! And just keep doing what you’re doing of course! 😀
I absolutely adore having workouts that I can just take to the gym and get done without thinking. It makes me work harder and takes the intimidation and thinking out of it! I finished my first 10K last month and I think focusing on nutrition and routine really helped me accomplish this! Plus 3 is my lucky number. 😉
I can’t wait to read about all things baby, so that!!!
happy blogiversary! in the coming year, i would love to see maybe some ideas about how to live well (eat well, shop well, get fit well) on a budget? since you deal with the three general topics on a regular basis, maybe you can throw in some tips about wallet-friendly ways to do all three? i don’t know… just an idea. 🙂
I have never commented on your blog before but I have been reading everyday for almost two years. I love the variety in what you blog about: food, fitness, military lifestyle, work, fashion and now pregnancy. My most favorite thing though is the “Something To Think About” that you have at the end of every post. I look forward to those everyday. 🙂
I hope to see more recipes, reader requests, and a health, happy baby 🙂
healthy**
baby pics! 🙂
Looking forward to see what in your life changes and which routines stay the same after the kiddo arrives!
Found you blog about 6 months ago and love it, love everything soo far so more of what you have been doing and love hearing about your pregnancy journey so far!
I would love to see more fitness and diet reviews. I like when you take popular trends and break them down for us. You made me want to try pole dancing class!
Congratulations on the baby!
I look forward to many more Family posts! It’s all so great…love your recipes, workouts and fashion, too!
like many others, would like to see how you balance work/family life/healthy lifestyle/etc.
as a full-time professional working mom to a 9 month old, it is definitely not easy at all. something i wish i had done was write more about my expectations and then compare those to the reality of having a baby, etc. i think that would be interesting to see.
congrats, btw. 🙂
I would like to see more recipes! Happy blogiversary!
Congrats on 3 years! I would like to hear more about your personal life, if that doesn’t sound too nosy… your pregnancy, family, vacations, etc.
I love yur blog, it inspires me to eat healthy everyday 🙂
What a generous giveaway! I would like to see more vlogs. And your macaroon recipe…but I doubt that is going to happen. 🙂
Congrats Gina.
Congrats on three years of a great blog! I am really looking forward to hearing more about your pregnancy and baby and how you will stay healthy and fit throughout pregnancy and as a new mom. I think that’s really hard for some women. After losing twenty pounds and keeping it off for four years, the last thing I want to do is lose the body I have worked so hard to get in order to have a child – so I will be taking inspiration from you when my time comes however many years down the road 😉 Congrats again, I hope you’re still blogging in three more years!
Oh how sweet of you! I so look foward to your posts everyday! 😉
I would love to see more vlogs too, and I’m looking forward to reading more about your new little family (and baby!). 😀
I would love to see more workouts. Lurve them!!!! What you’re doing now is fabulous. Keep up the good work. Keep it up mama! 🙂
I am excited to see the incorporation of the baby on the blog and am loving the fashion ideas you add, keep em coming!
I’m looking forward to watching your tummy grow AND watching how you manage eating healthy and exercising in the midst of hormonal craziness, hehe! Seeing your plan for post-baby will pique my interest too. And as always, I LOVE LOVE the quick, easy recipes you post here. 🙂
I would love to see more about the baby! I know you said you didn’t want it to turn into a mommy blog, but I think its important to talk about being pregnant plus your active lifestyle. And also this blog is about you, thats why people keep reading! Congratulations on three years!! 🙂
I just LOVE the recipes you share – so keep them coming! Thanks!
Congratulations! I’m looking forward to another inspirational fitness-filled year with a healthy baby boy or girl in the picture 🙂
