Annual survey + Favorite Things Giveaway

Hi friends! As we put the cherry on top of the 2020 dumpster fire and say ADIOS to this year, I wanted to take a minute to say thank you.

I don’t take this blog or the work I’m able to do for granted, ever. Every single day I’m excited to connect with all of you in this space which first began when the Pilot told me to “stop shopping online so much and find a hobby that doesn’t cost anything.” <— lol. The blog has grown and changed so much over the years, and whether you’re an OG blog reader (thank you!!!) or a new friend (hi! welcome!!), I hope you know how much I appreciate you hanging out with me over here.

Every click, comment, follow, like, product purchase, and pageview directly helps our family and I am sending you so much love and gratitude.

How about a little giveaway?

Each year, I put together some of my favorite products to surprise a lucky reader friend.

One lucky winner will receive the following prizes:

–  Beautycounter faves! (daily face SPF, Beyond Gloss in Bare Shimmer, Eye Rescue Cream, and Color Intense Lipstick in Brunch)

– A pair of APL sneakers (my go-to sneakers for workouts and life)

– A pair of Zella leggings (the BEST)

– A Mt. Lemmon candle (made locally here in Tucson!)

Sakara Life Beauty Chocolates (they taste so dang good)

Here’s how to enter:

– Fill out this quick survey (it’s less than 3 minutes) and leave an extra comment to let me know. I use this survey to plan out my content for the following year and your feedback is invaluable to me. I really want to make this blog something that you enjoy reading, with the content and topics that interest you, so I’m very thankful to those of you who take the time to share your thoughts!

    2020 has been so hard for so many reasons but it’s also the year I got engaged and bought a house so I will always be grateful for it ❤️

  2. Julia on December 21, 2020 at 11:33 am

    On a personal level 2020 was quite the year…my husband and I bought our first home in June and welcomed our baby girl violet into the world in October!

  3. maggie on December 21, 2020 at 11:35 am

    I completed the survey! 🙂

  4. Beth on December 21, 2020 at 11:35 am

    Happy memory: finding out my sister is pregnant! My daughters first cousin on my side 🙂

  5. Katie on December 21, 2020 at 11:36 am

    Despite being travel limited this year, my family snuck in a Disney cruise in February, a beach vacation in Maine in August, and multiple weekends in the Adirondack Mountains. Grateful that we got to enjoy some vacation time away this year despite the pandemic!

    • Fitnessista on December 21, 2020 at 11:41 am

      we snuck in our disney cruise in february and i’m SO GLAD we went! who knows when we’ll be able to go again.
      glad you got to get away a bit this year!

  6. Katie on December 21, 2020 at 11:36 am

    We got in a great snowboarding trip to Vermont before everything locked down. And in October, we managed to celebrate our 10 year anniversary by re-living parts of our honeymoon in an AirBnB in New York. Thanks for all you do 🙂

  7. Katie on December 21, 2020 at 11:37 am

    It’s my blessing in disguise year. My 2nd was born and a job I was getting excited about fell through it has allowed me to stay home. Having my bond grow stronger with both kiddos and watching their bond develop has been amazing!

    • Sara Chudnoff on December 21, 2020 at 11:42 am

      Survey done and following on insta!

  10. Alicia on December 21, 2020 at 11:43 am

    Going to Oregon wine country! It was beautiful. We drove and stayed in an airstream park. It was great!

  11. Janie on December 21, 2020 at 11:44 am

    I’ve enjoyed cooking and baking more with my sons. It’s been a hard time, but I’m also grateful for the extra time we’ve had together.

  12. Janie on December 21, 2020 at 11:45 am

    I answered the survey. 🙂

  13. Alicia on December 21, 2020 at 11:49 am

  14. Stacey on December 21, 2020 at 11:50 am

    Survey completed last Friday via weekly email.
    Happy memory: a “fancy” family dinner planned by my 14 year old daughter. She sent out invitations, required all of us (4) to dress up and planned the whole menu, including appetizers and dessert. Following the meal we had a family dance party and played some games. Definitely a bright spot during the COVID year.

    • Fitnessista on December 21, 2020 at 11:53 am

      that is so beautiful!!

  15. Amy D on December 21, 2020 at 11:50 am

    As many downs as 2020 had, it will hopefully be most remembered as the year we welcomed my third baby in November! I found out I was pregnant March 11th-we wouldn’t have gone for the third if we had waited any longer…and now U’m so glad he’s here!

  16. Shannon Rhoads on December 21, 2020 at 11:52 am

    Always look forward to this awesome giveaway! I filled out the survey last week when you posted!

  17. Amy on December 21, 2020 at 11:52 am

    My 2020 was great because I had my first baby in September! Love my little Lucy and all the extra time I’ve been able to spend with her! All of these products would be amazing to enjoy postpartum as well! Love your blog by the way and all your awesome workouts!

  18. Debbie on December 21, 2020 at 11:53 am

    Personally 2020 was amazing for me (major introvert/homebody over here). Very fortunate to be able to work from home and spend so much extra time with my family <3

    Best memory from 2020 was adding our third little one to the fam in April 🙂 Nothing like giving birth in the midst of a pandemic-ha!

    A happy memory is spending more time with my young adult boys who had no choice when we were under lockdown!

  42. Leslie on December 21, 2020 at 12:05 pm

    A happy 2020 memory is tough…it’s been a rough one. I’ll say the best thing to come from 2020 for me is an all day everyday text conversation that’s been ongoing since March between my lil sis & I. She lives in NYC and I live in Southern California.

  43. Barb on December 21, 2020 at 12:05 pm

    Filled out survey 🙂
