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

As a mom of a 2 year old and planning for more in the not TOO distant future – how you plan to modify workouts while pregnant, both with weights and cardio and the best pre-natal workouts you come across. And after that – the best things to get you back into pre-baby shape ( :

I would like to see more workout plans! I started reading your blog this year, which was my freshman year of college! I started out just checking it out every once in a while, but now I read all the time! You inspire me to lead a healthy life, even in college :), and if I could see more workout plans and suggestions so that I can keep workouts new and exciting, I would love it!
I would love to see more fashion posts…I think they are fabulous now but I am also pregnant and I can’t wait to see how your styles changes or how you help make comfort fit fashion! Also, I think it will be fun to see what new workouts make it to the blog!! Thanks Gina!

Wow, congrats on 3 years Gina – and you are too awesome/generous to sponsor this giveaway! I love your Shape Up series so definitely keep those up. I’m always interested in “back stories” about bloggers – how they got to be where they are, how the changes they made happened over time, etc.
Liked you on FB and left a comment
More recipes! I love ideas for dinner. I L O V E Fitnessista.
Gina, your blog is a spot of sunshine in my day! I love reading about your workouts and results, and would be especially interested to see how these evolve throughout your pregnancy. Thanks for always putting so much into your blog!
It’s three years old and so successful!! And can you believe how much it has changed in the past 3 years? Even in the past week! 🙂 So excited for you Gina! So many great things in store for you!! Oh, and I totally agree about the NARS orgasm blush. It’s amazing!! And those shoes KILL me! so awesome! Happy 3 year anniversary of your blog!
I would love to see healthy versions of family classics or comfort foods, possibly gluten-free! Also, keep the workouts coming, maybe mix it up with a test run of a new fitness fad, like Zumba or Barre. By the way…LOVE your blog, I just graduated with a degree in Kinesiology and I love to fuse food and fitness so your blog is right up my alley!
Happiest Blogiversary, Fitnessista! Thanks for sharing your wonderful self with us little guys in the peanut gallery. While I think the blog has a great balance of fitness, food, fashion, fun, and (now growing) family, I would love if you shared more of you secrets on time-management and organization. I know you keep very detailed to-do lists but I’d love to know more of your little tricks to managing a busy-bee schedule. Congrats on your well-deserved blogilicious success.
How about a winter shape up? No need to get out of shape during the winter. Will make the summer shape up SO much easier!
Hey Gina – I liked you on FB and could not find a field to respond to your question in! (I actually couldn’t find the question. Boo.) Happy blogiversary though!

Yay! Would love to see more fashion posts, and definitely pregnancy and baby posts too!
Love the blog so much!
