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

I just adore your blog! So cute and inspiring! I can’t wait for more fashion posts I just love your style 🙂
Congrats on 3 years! I’d love to see more of your creative workouts! Summer shape up has been awesome, so I’m excited to see others routines you’re able to create.
More recipes please : )
I love your recipes, keep them coming 🙂
More recipes! 🙂
I’d love to see more easy, quick, gluten free recipes made from stuff I probably have in my kitchen. The protein muffin revolutionized my life, no joke :). And I would die for the Lulu define jacket!
I would love to see mire recipes and meal plans…and happy anniversary!!!
Congrats on 3 years! I would love to see some more of your great recipes and grocery lists! I have been using a lot of your ideas. Thank You!
I would love to see more recipes!
I would love to see more recipes! And I’m of course loving the family posts. 🙂 Congratulations on three wonderful years!
Congrats on the 3 years! I would love some goodies
I’d love to see more recipes and workout tips.
Happy Blog-iversary! I love when you post workout music (gym playlists need frequent updates), & fashion posts (fashion has never been my strong suit, and fasion-dedicated blogs tend to be over my head and out of my comfort zone), and really enjoy reading your posts about your past & background, your family, the pilot, and the “real” you the most.
i’d love to see more fashion updates. love your style girl!
This is fantastic! You are the sweetest.
I’d love to see some more posts on staying fit while pregnant, because there’s so much conflicting information on that and it’s hard to know who to believe. And, of course, how to stay fit and active with le bebe once he or she comes along. I’m not looking into motherhood for a few years (read: many years, haha) but it’s something I’d love to read up about so I can have it in my mind if that time ever comes.
I’d also love to see some more posts on meal planning and healthy food budgeting, because that’s such a weak spot for me.

Congrats on 3 years! I really enjoy posts with your recipes, it motivates me to try to cook/bake new things!
I just enjoy reading your blog…write anything you want and I’m sure I’ll still love it! 🙂
I want to see more videos!!
I’d love to see lots of the baby over the next year! And I always love when you talk about/take pictures of Tucson, because it’s my favorite place in the USA 🙂
Congrats on your 3 year blog-birthday! I’d like to see more city guides (esp. and Orlando one!!) and more grocery lists/meal plan ideas!
I am excited to see the balance you bring between being pregnant and being fit!
I’d like to see more of your fabulous voice and humor, and more of your brilliant ideas for making fitness fun!
Congrats on three years!

Would Love to see more fashion posts!
i’d love to see more workout plans and playlists (great music really helps get through the burn), and more updates on your life! thank you so much for hosting this giveaway, and congratulations on your pregnancy! 😀
Congrats on the blogiversary! I’m excited to start Week 2 of SSU!! My friend that I convinced to do Workout #1 with me called the next day to let me know how much she felt the workout 😀 😀
Happy 3 years! I would just love to see what makes YOU happy! It seems no matter what you post, it is about you, health, your Pilot or now, your baby! You are an amazing person and I love seeing you grow and inspire me!
Woo woo 3 years what what!! I love that you are incorporating more fashion posts and baby post, as well as fitness ones. I would love to see more videos of workouts and maybe the occasional fashion video where you could show us different ways to spice up a dress (like the honeysuckle one!).
Congrats. I would love to see more posts about organization & getting things done with your positive healthy spin. I also don’t have a traditional “career” so anything that helps me light a fire under my rear is helpful for me!
I’m excited to hear about all the adventures you and the Pilot encounter as you become new parents!
I’d love to see some more recipes for healthy, yummy gluten free baked goods. And the new family posts are great too!
I would like even more healthy recipes and also even more advice on relationships. Thanks so much!
Happy blogiversary, I’ve been a long time daily reader (first time commenter), I would love to see more fashion posts and quickie workouts! I love that your blog has it all!
I’d like to see more interactive exercising. Like your virutal walkin kind of thing. I struggle to stay motivated and find that so cool! Congrats on the 3 year blogversary. That jacket is super cute!
I love the spotlights on all the different exercises and the fitness plans, keep them coming!
Congrats on the anniversary! I’d love to see more fashion posts – you have great style!
I am new to your page (have been following for about 2 weeks or so) but it took me one look at your blog to put your page in my favourites! I love everything about it!
What would I like to see in the next year? I honestly don’t know. Perhaps more recipes. But I love everything there is about the way your blog is now! 🙂
i’d love to see more workout plans and recipes!
Happy Blogiversary! (My one-year is coming up soon, so excited!) I’d love to see more gluten-free recipes!! And definitely keep the family posts coming, I’m so excited for you and your growing family!
i follow you on twitter and tweeted!
Hi! Great giveaway and congrats on the 3 year blog-anni! I love doing new workouts and trying new recipes, can’t go wrong with more of those 🙂
I would love to see more recipes please.
I absolutely love your blog! I really enjoy reading about your daily eats and would love to continue to hear more about your life with the Pilot. My nearly-fiance is a major carnivore (and junk-food lover!) and I’m a very health-conscious vegetarian. It’s so inspiring to see how the two of you respect the other person’s eating habits!
I would love to see more recipe ideas 🙂 Especially meals that work for both you and the Pilot!
I love the new family posts and fashion posts. More of those, please! Happy blogiversary!
I really love your recipes and the shape-up plans. Keep them coming!
Happy Anniversary! I’m absolutely loving the new family posts. I work at a baby boutique in West Hollywood, and can’t wait to see your new shopping finds for the little one!
As for the next year, I’m looking forward to more workout plans! I’m attempting (key word there) to start the summer shape-up, and love your recipes and lifestyle plans that coincide with them. I would love to see more recipes and eats!
I love this blog!
its so cute and inspiring. Id love to see more recipes, product reviews and photos! 🙂
Hi Gina! i’ve only been reading your blog for the past year, but i frequently look thru your old posts for meal inspiration and workout tips. I would love to hear more about how you balance eating healthy and natural while being a guest. I do well eating healthy in my own kitchen, and even in restuarants where you can specialize what you want a bit, but in family or friends homes it becomes a bit awkward/uncomfortable to say no to dishes, and more importantly the people who offer them to me.
Thanks!
Clare
I’ve been following your blogs for about a year and I think what sets you apart from others is your fabulous personality – thanks for sharing with us!! I love that you add a personal touch and share about your life and adventures! In the next year, in the spirit of new moms like yourself, I would love to read about exercise routines I can do at home that require minimal equipment but produce amazing results. I would also love to hear your perspective about weight loss, especially for those of us who have a bit more weight to lose. Thanks!
Oh – and happy blogiversary!
Congrats on your 3 year anniversary! I just started following a few weeks ago and love everything I’ve read so far 🙂
