“HIIT It” thank you giveaway
Hi friends! Hope you’re having a lovely morning! I have a pretty exciting giveaway to share with you today, as a “thank you” for all of your wonderful support here on the blog and with “HIIT It!”
I started this little blog at a major transition point in my life. We had just moved to Valdosta which was a little over 1800 miles from lifelong family and friends. It definitely felt like I was starting from scratch. I was also beginning my journey into the fitness world. It was good to have a hobby I truly enjoyed in such an unfamiliar place. Of course, that hobby turned into passion, and the more I learned, the more I wanted to share. The blog became that platform, and it changed my life. I’m so thankful to all of you for stopping by here, and for making this the fun and lovely community that it’s become. My gratitude extends to everyone for helping make “HIIT It!” a reality. So to thank you, I thought I’d put together a huge giveaway prize for a lucky reader featuring some of my favorite things. This isn’t sponsored in any way – it’s just a little love and thanks for all the support you’ve given me.
Here’s what the lucky winner will receive:
–a LUSH Ocean Salt body scrub (this smells extremely light and fresh, and leave skin super soft)
–a Pura Vida bracelet (the same beaded one I wear every day!)
-a Marc by Marc Jacobs mini Natasha crossbody (my very favorite purse)
-an assortment of chocolates, nut butters, bars, and homemade macaroons
-a personalized copy of “HIIT It!” (if you have one already, I can send it to a friend for you!)
Here’s how to enter: (3 total possible entries)
-Leave a comment with something that makes you happy 🙂
-If you’d like a bonus entry, it would be amazing if you picked up a copy of “HIIT It!’ (available through Amazon and Barnes and Noble) and left an extra comment. If you preordered (thank you so much!!), be sure to leave an extra comment
-Please help me spread the word! Leave an extra comment to let me know what you did. Did you “HIIT It!” with a friend? Pin/Facebook/tweet/Instagram? Leave an extra comment and let me know how you share the love. <3
The lucky winner will be chosen next Thursday at midnight EST and announced in Friday Faves on Friday, January 30. International friends: since I am shipping this out, I’m happy to send the goodie package anywhere in the world.
Thank you again for being here, and for being such a light in my life.
xoxo

Relaxing with some blog reading is making me happy!
Yesterday I was having a rough day but then I saw two beautiful puppies being walked by their owner on my way to a meeting. Definitely made me stop and smile and also put things in perspective!
Coffee and hot yoga make me happy (in that order :))!
7 week old baby grins make me happy!
Preordered from Amazon! 🙂
Warm coffee on a chilly morning makes me happy (or iced coffee on a summer morning).
Crossing off the last item on my to-do list for the day; lazy Sunday mornings with my husband; saving room for dessert; so much to choose from!
Enjoying some much-needed me time is making me happy. My husband is out of town, the kids are in bed, and it’s just me, a Ghirardelli square and lots of Bravo on the DVR.
It also made me happy to read your book’s introduction. I’ve picked up bits and pieces of your background here on the blog, but it was interesting to read your story all in one place. Cheers!
A bowl of coffee + greek yogurt makes me giddy
Drinking a smoothie in the winter while wearing sweatpants, a sweatshirt, and fuzzy socks!!!! This makes me happy 🙂
I ordered a copy through B and N!!!
My puppy makes me happy 🙂
My Toddler, Drake. He is the light in my life <3
Spending time with family… that and a really fantastic glass of wine. Even better when they are together!
Nice, sunny weather makes me happy (a rarity in rainy Vancouver winters)
Lately I’m happiest when we get a lazy morning at home. I’ve been working a lot lately so they are fewer than normal, but waking up to a talking baby and two six year olds climbing in bed for snuggles gets the day going just right.
I told the teachers I work with about your book!!
Winding down at the end of each night with some Netflix or a good book make me so happy 🙂
Spending time with my husband andkids, especially on a warm summer day!
Body pump has been making me happy this week! I broke my wrist just under 2 years ago and have had a hard time getting back to the gym, but I am finally starting to feel strong and healthy thanks to BP 🙂
YOU make me happy! Yours was the first healthy living blog I read and it opened my eyes to so many healthy living blogs. The community has given me so many ideas, inspiration, and motivation to live a life I was already living, but now connected me to so many others I relate to which is truly an amazing thing to be apart of.
A day off to wander and explore my city!
Things that make me happy-wine and coffee!
Time with my husband and son makes me super happy! Sunshine makes me happy! Starbucks Frappuccino make me happy! ?
Running and yoga make me happy! Thanks for the giveaway – can’t wait to dig into your book.
My daughters, Anna and Elise, who are 17 months old. They have had a bug since Saturday and both girls finally seemed to be back to their almost-normal selves today. I walked into the day care at the gym and saw Anna playing peacefully by herself with the Matchbox cars and a little track, and Elise building block towers with an older girl (maybe 10 years old). And then, after dinner, they stood at their little table and set up all of their Little People, giggling and smiling at/with each other. Cue heart melting.
I ordered the Kindle copy of the book and I am loving it! I would live a physical copy though to dog ear and mark pages.
running, the beach and coffee!
Happiness is: baby giggles, inspirational blogs (this one!), friends, family, reading, texts, wine!
I preordered 🙂
Skiing in the beautiful CO mountains, wine, and tacos!
Books, babies, and rainy mornings
Happiness is watching my kids do what they love – baseball, hockey and softball!
Chocolate and baking are making me happy right now!
Brunch and bike riding to the park make me happy!
My family and friends make me happy!
What makes me happy: My husband and 2 kids! Life wouldn’t be the same without them:)
I have to be honest, morning sickness and dreariness of winter are wearing on me right now, but the thing that makes me come out of that funk is seeing my husband making our son smile or laugh 🙂
Right now the QUIET is making me happy! : ) I’ve got twin girls who have been teething-monsters lately and its no fun for anyone! I just put them to bed and the silence is golden! <3
Taking long walks with my husband makes me happy
Sunshine makes me happy!
Happiness is spending time with my fiance!
Knowing that what I do for a living — research and consulting on women’s full development, inclusion, and advancement in the workplace — impacts not just women, but also their partners, extended families, and society! It makes the very long, hard days worth it 🙂
It’s almost Friday…and that is making me
happy 😉
I had a great PiYo workout tonight and it’s a new to me class, that I’m really enjoying! 🙂
My family makes meh happy!! And puppies!
Watching snow fall outside while running at the gym makes me very happy!
going to sleep at the end of a long day makes me happy
I bought your book for my kindle!
I tweeted about the book today! Here’s what I said:
My 1st workout from @fitnessista ‘s book HIIT It: the total body circuit, combined with a modified cardio workout from the book. I’m toast!!
Going running with my chocolate lab makes me happy! He loves being active and outdoors. His excitement to run makes me remember why I started running in the first place.
