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!!

roon

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)

image romper

(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

    I can’t wait to see more about Baby Fitpilot!!

  2. Jessica on June 14, 2011 at 8:25 pm

    I’d love to see more fashion posts!

  3. Heather on June 14, 2011 at 8:27 pm

    Just keep doing what you’re doing! I love reading your blog every day 🙂 Excited for the new family edition posts too!

  4. SIMI on June 14, 2011 at 8:32 pm

    I would like to see more posts about weight loss for us like some menu plans and why eat this and not that, etc…

  5. Lauren R. on June 14, 2011 at 8:32 pm

    First of all, happy birthday bloggie! Since I started reading over two years ago, I have become so incredibly educated on what it means to be fit. My perception of myself used to be so screwed up – I just wouldn’t eat for days, then totally binge, only to cry about how ugly I was. Gross and not healthy. Now that I am learning about healthier choices, different ways to get moving and how to move to a more natural way of eating, I feel great about who I am and what I do for my body. Your posts are always well-researched and honest, and I find myself doing a lot of research on my own as I discover how to be comfortable with who I am and the choices I make. Thank you!

    I’d love to see more of these Focus On posts. I have a hard time working out on my own, but it’s a whole different story when I have to pay for classes. I love trying new things and participating in a group. I’m going to try bikram yoga and I am about to Google Core Fusion so I can give that a shot, too. Oh, and more fashion posts! 🙂 They are so fun!

  6. Tiffany on June 14, 2011 at 8:33 pm

  20. Laura on June 14, 2011 at 8:41 pm

    Gina,

    I just wanted to let you know that your blog has inspired me to eat better, be more active and live life to its fullest. I look forward to your posts throughout the day and always know that your words will make me giggle….or hungry haha! In the next year, I would love to hear more about how you are making the transition into being a Mom. I’m not very good with change (although I have been better) and would love to hear more about how you go with the flow and stay happy 🙂

    Take care,

    Laura

    Well there are a million comments – but Maybe I’ll get lucky! for my move tomorrow to the Upper West Side! My first time living in Manhattan as an adult!

  38. Mandee Lei on June 14, 2011 at 8:59 pm

    I would love to see more recipes. You are already very generous with them but I love them that much!! Happy blogiversary!!!

  39. Jennifer A. on June 14, 2011 at 9:04 pm

    I’m loving all the family posts, so more of those would be awesome. Also, more recipes!

  40. Amelia on June 14, 2011 at 9:04 pm

    It’s hard to think of something for you to add to the blog, because I think it is so wonderful already. I know you have a “family” page to document your pregnancy, but I think it would be cool to have a “Pilot” tab that could chronicle his thoughts from now to birth about becoming a dad. I know he is super busy, but he could just do weekly posts?

  41. Jialin Zhang on June 14, 2011 at 9:05 pm

    In the future? I’d love to see your opinion of products that are on the market! I’m never sure the nutritional benefits of some products… And more recipes never hurt 😉
    But your blog is already pretty amazing!
    Thanks so much for inspiring so many; including me!

  42. Erin @ the office appetite on June 14, 2011 at 9:07 pm

    Tweeted 🙂
    In the next year, I’d love to see the “family” page grow a little bit… and see how your fitness adapts with the family life. Happy three years!

  43. Sara on June 14, 2011 at 9:08 pm

    More of the same – you are lovely and I’m so excited to watch your family grow. My baby girl will be five months on the 24th and I can safely say that this has been the best five months of my whole life (sleep deprivation aside! 😉 )! Such an amazing time and it’s so great that you are sharing it with us.

  44. Seema on June 14, 2011 at 9:08 pm

    I would love to see more posts about your pregnancy and of course Summer/Winter Shape ups!

  45. Crystal (Bye Bye Fat Pants) on June 14, 2011 at 9:10 pm

    I want to see and hear more about your pregnancy!! So excited for you & Tom!

  46. liz on June 14, 2011 at 9:10 pm

    I have loved watching your blog grow!! I love the workout programs– they’re such a great way to shake up the regular routines. I’d love to see more of them

  47. Sarah on June 14, 2011 at 9:11 pm

    I want to see a baby. A CUTE baby. I’m pretty sure it will happen–you guys have some good genes! 🙂

  48. Melissa on June 14, 2011 at 9:11 pm
