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’d love to continue seeing posts about your family growing 🙂 and how life is with the Pilot at home (& the little baby-fitnessista/pilot). I’m so excited for everything that is happening in your life because I know no one more deserving then you 😀 .
Happy 3rd blogiversary!
Happy 3 Year Anniversary! I would love to see an article on self-control in the next year. Your self-control and ability to remember what is most important to you (being healthy) is such an inspiration to me. I would love to hear tips on how you keep that in mind when you go to family events and out to dinner.
Happy three years! I’d love to see more about the baby (of course!).
I love your blog and I am very interested in MORE fitness tips. I am looking for ways to “up” my current routine and any help is greatly appreciated!!!
I love your blog!! I would LOVE to read more about your cute family and new addition. I also love your clean eats tips 🙂
I’d like to see more of your great, healthy recipes….and more that contain animal protein, as I am transitioning from a vegan diet to an omnivore diet!
I would love to see more of you and the Pilot’s relationship, some of your struggles as a military wife and how you are overcoming adversity in your daily life.
Thank you so much for keeping my mind busy as my husband is gone at training!
Much Love,
Jeana
Happy Blogiversary! I just recently found your blog and love it! I’d want to keep seeing more of the same, and of course how workouts/eating change along with your pregnancy. I have a lot of friends who will benefit from that:)

3. I like you on facebook!
I am loving the addition of the family tab and really hope to see more of the same blog content in the year to come. Food, fitness, fashion, and family – all big hits in my book!
I would love to see how you stay healthy while pregnant and post baby! Congrats on your new addition!
I love the recipes, meal plans, workout ideas, and playlists so keep ’em coming. I would also love to hear more about your pregnancy as I am 21 wks prego myself 😉 Congrats to you on the baby and the 3 years!!

Happy Anniversary!! What an accomplishment! 🙂
I’d love to see more baby/pregnancy posts, and how that relates to your health and fitness!
I never thought I’d jump on the baby train, but I have been LOVING the family posts as of late! I’m hoping for more of those, most definitely.
DANG GINA (my favorite saying actually works with you!!) you are so generous! i cant WAIT to see baby stuff and home stuff and just seeing how your lives evolve in tucson!!
I can’t believe how much your blog has grown in 3 years!!! What a huge success 🙂 I’ve enjoyed reading for about the past year or so and I’m looking forward to your up and coming family posts! Good job keepin it real 😉
I’d like to see more fashion posts! I bought that denim J.Crew blazer after you recommended it and it pretty much changed my life haha!
I lovveee that jacket!!! And your blog. Congrats on everything! 🙂
I love all of your recipes but I’m most looking forward to following your journey in motherhood!
Thanks Gina for all that you do with the blog. Your breakfast cookie idea changed my life. I used to eat junk for breakfast and I was hungry all morning. Now, I feel lost without a breakfast cookie. It fills me up and fuels me for the morning. I would love to see more recipes because they are very encouraging to me. I’m a new yoga teacher so I also love hearing about your fitness experience.
In the next year, I’m looking forward to hearing about the progress of your book proposal.
WOW this giveaway is intense! You’re giving away some awesome stuff 🙂 I hope I win, pick me pick me!!
I would love to see more recipes and how to stay in shape while pregnant as we would like to expand our family soon 🙂
i signed up all three ways – i’ve been reading your blog for two and a half years and love it so much. how would i have ever discovered larabars and coconut water otherwise?!
Love the fam tab!! 🙂
Oh, and I don’t “like” the Fitnessista, I “LOVE” her! This blog rocks chicka, be proud of the last 3 years 🙂
I would like to see more pregnancy related posts, as well as more fashion posts. They are my absolute favorite! I’m especially excited to see how your workouts and fashion change/adjust with this new addition growing inside of you. 🙂
Happy blogiversary!
Side note: I just bought my first pair of lululemon pants a week ago. I’m in LOVE. I would love that jacket!
Hot damn, girl! This is quite the giveaway. But then again, you are quite the Fitnessista and it’s not like I don’t know you keep it classy at all times. 🙂 CONGRATULATIONS on 3 years and here’s to 3(0) more. That’s what I’d like to see on the blog, btw: 30 more years’ worth of posts. xo
Hi Gina!
In the next year I want to hear about how you stay fit while you are pregnant and how you plan to get back in shape afterwards. I plan on having kids in the next few years so I would find that very interesting! I love that you have the Family section.. I am already loving it!!
Heather
I hope you continue with the family posts! I love them.
I also hope you keep up the shape-up challenges! Maybe even a getting in shape after baby program?
I can’t wait to see pics of that cute pilot/fitnessita baby! Congrats on everything these past 3 years! (i thumbs up liked you on fb too!)
Baby news, and how you have adjusted your life, now that you’re living in AZ!
I can’t wait to see more about pregnancy and see the baby when he/she arrives!!!
Happy 3-year blogiversary! I have been reading (and mostly lurking) for almost the whole time! In the next year I would like to see more workout plans, more yummy eats, and more about working out/staying fit while pregnant/as a new mom. Thank you for all you do!
That jacket looks fabulous! I don’t own anything lululemon, but I’ve heard such wonderful things about their products. In the next year I am definitely looking forward to reading about your pregnancy/baby journey and how you maintain your healthy lifestyle with so many changes!
Happy blogiversary!!

SUCH a great giveaway Gina, and congratulations on 3 years! You’re right, a TON has happened over that time – even in the past year, which is when I first found your blog!! On the blog next year, I’d love to see some more raw food recipes (preferably ones that don’t need a dehydrator because I sadly don’t own one!) as well as continued workout inspiration! 🙂 Oh, and BABY PHOTOS of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy blogiversary! As a new reader, I am so glad I discovered your blog! I’m looking forward to experimenting with the Summer Shape Up.
Since I’ve only been reading for a few days, it’s tough for me to say what I want to see on your blog in the next year, but I can say what I struggle with that I think your blog could help with. I started running seriously about three months ago, so I’ve really been good about fitting in cardio workouts, and I practice Yoga twice a week. My weak point, however, is strength training. I know I need it, but I struggle to figure out where to start. I want to move away from the weight machines at the gym. It would be good to have a weekly series with different strength workouts using “toys” like dumbells, kettleballs, Pilates balls, etc.
Thanks for publishing such a great, helpful blog!
I LURRVEEE that jacket! On the next year of the blog, I would like to see more Reader’s Requests. All the ones you have done so far have been so helpful (Group Ex. Interviews and does yoga replace strength training especially). Thanks so much for this awesome blog Gina!!
i’d like to see more recipes!
I’m looking forward to watching your baby journey and seeing how your pup reacts to the new addition in your life!
already like you on facebook!
I just like to see what you are up to, since I miss you. Can’t wait to hear about your baby, new house, etc. I like all posts on your blog. Recipes, pictures, fitness, life!
Of course, I LOVE The Fitnessista on Facebook 🙂
i’d like to see baby pics! can’t wait!
