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’ve been loving your family posts! But I’d love more workouts too!
In the next year, I woud love to see more Fitnessista-fied recipes.. or maybe even a cook book?;) Your blog has completely changed my eating habits and I would like to incorporate more vegetarian and raw food options into my diet. I love turning a classic meal into something nutritious and delicious (ie Butternut Squash Lasagna.. there is no pasta or ground beef but it is ah-mazing!!). I’ve never felt so satisfied by healthy choices and its never been so easy to maintain my ideal weight 🙂
I would love to see more recipes. Look forward to seeing how you stay fit while pregnant !! Congrats.
Happy blogiversary!! 3 years! You’re an inspiration (in more ways than one!). In the next year, I’m so excited to see posts about the pregnancy/baby!
I would love to see your new life balance, baby/pilot/puppy/work/workout. I know you’re going to shine and inspire us all!!!
XOOX

More toning workouts would be great!
I liked you on facebook!!
I only cook a few times a week and then eat the leftovers, so I’d love to see more casserole/make-ahead type recipes that freeze well!
Happy Blog Birthday!! I’d love to see some cooking videos, detailed healthy grocery shopping tips, and more of the amazing content you already post! Plus, I know we’ll be seeing some adorable baby posts 😀
I’d love to see posts on how to balance an office job, eating smart, and staying active. I’m naturally a couch potato and need to force myself to get up and do something besides read!! Right now I’ve got the gym down… I go right after work without stopping at home and giving myself the chance to get comfy on the couch. What I need help with is getting those healthy meals in. I’m not creative enough!!
Love the blog!!!
First, major congrats! I am looking forward to seeing more family posts! I’d like to see how you’re eating/working out changes. I’m getting married in three months and can’t wait to have kids so watching you go through this experience is just going to get me even more excited!
I’m really interested in your eats/workouts pre and post baby…what changes, what doesn’t etc.
Happy Blog-anniversary! I would love to see your growing family, as well as continued workout ideas and healthy eating tips. Continue doing what you do!
I want to see more stuff on healthy pregnancy! I’m not currently (or expecting to be soon!), but hopefully SOMEDAY 🙂
I love the blog so it’s hard for me to come up with something else that I would like to see. Maybe; more workouts? I also can wait to read more about Baby girl Fitnessista or Baby boy Pilot!
Congrats on three successful blogging years! I would love to see how you maintain a healthy lifestyle during your pregnancy. My sister is pregnant and I CAN’T WAIT to be an aunt! I’d also love some advice on how you stay motivated and how to get friends and family motivated to maintain an active lifestyle. Awesome giveaways!
i really love your blog – including the most recent addition of the family page! so exciting for you and your loved ones. you are extremely inspiring and i really can’t wait to read more and more about your life!
I’m definitely looking forward to the family posts! Congrats on the 3 years!
Happy happy Birthday!!!! I would like to read more about your growing family and how health and fitness fits into the new adventures in your life:) You are so inspiring & motivating to me, my friend and I get up every morning at 4am and WORK IT OUT! We’ve tried one your treadmill workouts, and it was pretty tough! 😉 Love the blog, keep it up!
i love what you do already but i’d like to see more recipe and beauty related posts! happy blogiversary!
I’m so looking forward to more pregnancy/baby posts in the next year (particularly how you manage to stay healthy and fit along the way). I’m about 8 weeks ahead of you, but it’s so fun to compare experiences so far!
Happy blogiversary! I’m nowhere near ready to start a family, but I love reading about those that are! I hope to see more of your pregnancy journey/belly tracker on your family page! Plus, since the question covers all of next year — Baby Fitnessista!
I’m really looking forward to your pregnancy journey. I just had a baby myself and would LOVE to see some “how to lose that last bit of baby weight” ideas. I also love when you provide meal plan ideas/grocery lists! Thanks for all you do!
I’ll always read your bloggie because of your great balance of healthy + treat food, but I can’t wait to read more family posts and meet the little one (in person or online)!
I love your healthy packed lunch ideas! Would love to see more of those.
Happy blogiversary! 🙂 Your blog has quickly become my favourite for several reasons – one of them being your hilarious Fitnessista-isms that I only read on your blog. Your posts always make me laugh and give me a nice break from work when I need it.
I would love to see more *natural* pre-cardio snacks (e.g. things that won’t sit in your stomach during a run or other cardio-like activity….I’ve been having a heck of a time trying to figure out what I can eat before a morning run). The thought of Gu chomps or gels in the morning (or in general) really make me want to yak.
Take care!
With everything you have on your plate – you’re an amazing woman to offer us giveaways – how come you’ve never taken a photo with your superhero cape on??? I would love to see more of your travel adventures and suggestions for places to eat/shop/visit – so I hope there is more travel in your future.
Take care superwoman!

happy blogiversary! i am anxious to see more family posts (and belly posts :D) as well as yummy recipes. oh, and more shenanigans is always a good thing!
I would love to see more recipes! always looking for new ones 🙂
Happy birthday blog! In the next year I’d like to see more ideas on how to make his-and-her meals. And I’d like to see a baby:)
I would love to see as much information as you are okay with sharing about your pregnancy + working out + all the exciting changes!
Congrats on three years!
I would love to hear more about your foray into natural medicine.
acupuncture? herbs? what inspired you to get involved with all of that?
Happy Blogiversary!!! & congrats again on the little one on the way!!! You & the Pilot will be amazing parents 🙂 I hope to continue to see your kickass workouts & smoothie recipes & I can’t wait to see all things BABY in the next year!!!!!
I love your family posts!
I would like to continue to see more fashion posts and meal plan ideas. Also some more videos would be fun too!
I LOVE your blog! Congrats on your 3 year blogiversary! Since I am fairly new to the site, I just would like to see more of what you are currently posting about, like recipes and workout ideas. Also, congrats on your pregnancy!
I LOVE your blog! In the next year I’d like to see how you modify your workouts and your diet so that a busy new mom can keep up with a healthy lifestyle. As someone who will be having kids in the next couple years, I’m hoping to go into the whole experience armed with solid information about how to remain healthy! 😀 Thanks for all you do, you’re a constant source of inspiration!
I know it is a tiny bit more than a year away but I’m really looking forward to “baby eats” – when I have children I want to make all my own baby food and I’d love some tips and insight.
i would love to see more family posts.. hehe 🙂 yay for 3 years! congrats to you and sharing such a great blog with us!
I want to see more of the same 🙂 I love your updates on fitness, fashion and recipes, so keep it up! One of my favorite blogs to read. (and CONGRATS on the little one on the way!!)
Hi Gina…loving the family posts! Would definitely like to see how you change/adapt your workouts as your pregnancy progresses. I’d also love to see decorating tips/ideas when you get into your new house.
I would love to see your blog continue with the upcoming baby. I love seeing how your pregnancy grows. I am so excited for you and your family! Can’t wait for the baby to arrive in January.
For the next year to come I would like to see more recipes and lovely eats, more stories about your pregnancy and the little fitnessista/pilot ofcourse!! Also fitness tips, new products and stuff about your house/decoration are fun to read 🙂
Easiest question ever. I know you don’t want it to turn into a pregnancy blog, but since your pregnancy will influence your fitness and eating routines, I would love to see more of how you go about those changes! 🙂 I don’t mind the pregnancy posts at all! So exciting!
Your baby 🙂
I would love to see more recipes and of course more about your pregnancy journey!! Congrats on 3 years!!
I have always loved everything on your blog, but lately I’ve enjoyed reading your fashion and family posts!
