Fitness + Health: ISAGENIX!

Hey guys! I couldn't wait to post about my three days on Isagenix. After hearing from a couple of people about all the wonders of Isagenix, I decided to try it myself. Let me tell you, it's not easy - but totally worth it! Today is my fourth day and I can totally feel a difference (and even lost a couple of inches all over).

I received my huge package on Thursday March 22nd but decided to wait till after the weekend to get started for obvious reasons ;). I couldnt beleive how much they send you!


I bought the 30 day cleanse which includes:
  • Welcome Guide with tracking system
  • 2 Cleanse for Life: a nutritional drink that helps the body breakdown and release harmful substances and at the same time feeds the body with over 100 nutrients. (choice of liquid or powder)
  • 4 Isalean Shakes (Choice of Vanilla or chocolate) I chose 2 of each and both taste amazing! - 23g of whey protein
  • 1 Natural Accelerator - helps facilitate cleansing process, increases fat-burning and energy
  • Isagenics Snacks- helps curb cravinfs - choclate or vanilla flavored
  • 1 Isaflush-Gentle digestive support
  • 2 Ionix Supreme- Over 100 active ingredients, aids body
  • 1 Green tea milk chocolate snacks- amazing!
Day 1 (measurments were taken on Sunday night)
I woke up and drank 2 glasses of water, followed by 6 oz. of water with 1 scoop of Ionix supreme. Made my Vanilla flavored shake for the road and drank it at around 9:00 a.m.

11:00 a.m. - Snack

1:00 p.m. - Tofu Salad

3:00 p.m. - Second Snack

6:00 p.m. - Last shake of the day (chocolate flavored)

10:00 p.m. - Isaflush! (take it on empty tummy for the evening)

First day was a huge success, no hunger!

Day 2
Tuesday was a bit rough, I forgot my snacks at home and was STARVING at work even though i had a wrap for lunch. I got home and was all bent out of shape because i didnt follow the program correctly. I was starving and couldnt catch the momentum again. Went to bed early because i was miserable.

Day 3 (back on track!)

I decided to stay on a strict schedule and made sure that I ate every 2 hours. Started my day with water and and Ionix Supreme drink and my shake. For lunch I had a chicken wrap with lettuce, tomato and mozarella cheese. Since lunch is the only meal that you are allowed to have, make sure that it is of substance but that it also contains essential nutrients for your bod. I felt great, went home and did a Pilates class and went to bed.

Just for kicks, I decided to measure myself and I am so proud to say that I have lost a couple of inches all over my body in just 3 days! Also, I have lost almost 6 lbs!!!

Today is day 4 (Thursday) and I am SOOO motivated, now more than ever. I have a couple of friends who are starting Isagenix next week. This is the best product. Their thinking is that you will never lose weight until you clean your body of all the impurities and toxins in it. Brilliant!It might sound so cliche, but drinking water can really help curb your hunger!!! Dont forget - 8 oz, 8 times a day!

Oh and by the way, I bought this blender at GNC for like $18 on sale a couple of months ago. A popular one is the Magic Bullet which can be bought in Target or Bed Bath & Beyond for like $45. (GNC brand one works just as good)


 Hope you guys enjoyed this post, I will do a follow up with weight and inches lost.

If you are interested in more info, go to www.stefyleon.isagenix.com or send me a message. Good luck girls, summer is right around the corner!

Big Hug!!

Hair Sense: Dermorganic

I am SOO excited to tell you about my favorite product/brand for hair! Seriously, I should make money off of all the people that I tell about Dermorganic... AND everyone who tries it, loves it.


About 1 year ago, I was on a search for a miracle for my dry, split-ended hair. I had just taken out my hair extensions and things were not looking good. My hair needed help ASAP. I did some quick research online and found this line.


Dermorganic is an argan oil based hair care line which includes shampoo, conditioner, leave-in treatment and shine spray. Argan Oil has been said to be "the secret of the Morrocon women". Well, not anymore ladies! This "liquid gold" comes from the Argan tree (found in Morroco) which grows a small fruit and carries the Argan seed inside. The Argan seed is then cold pressed to release the oil. The best part is that the Argan oil is 100% certified from Morroco (unlike other brands that claim they have argan oil or morrocon oil).


Benefits: Sulfate-free,vegan, made without animal by-products and never tested on animals, contains no DEA, MEA, dyes or food coloring, gluten-free, contains no artificial presersatives and is paraben free, contains no salt, sodium chloride or other artifical thickeners, and uses only certified organic Argan Oil, Sunflower Seed Extract and Grape Seed Extract as a natural preservative. LOVEEE!


I have been using these products for about a year now and will never, ever, EVER use pharmacy cheap products again. Yes, its cheap but all of the chemicals included are not worth it in the long run. Trust me.


Dermorganic can not be bought through their webpage but I did find them being sold in CVS. Easiest and cheapest way to buy them is through Amazon.com - i bought this 4 pack for $55 which is worth it since the shampoo alone is $17.99 in CVS. Cheapest I found was HERE: shampoo, conditioner and leave-in treatment for $38.95

Hope you love this just as much as I do and that you achieve beautiful, healthy hair :)

NAIL TREND: CAVIAR MANICURE

Ciaté, an amazing nail brand has announced their new caviar manicure:


This will be the first three dimensional nail kit to ever hit stores. Word has it that it will be available in all Sephora stores this spring! Can NOT wait to try this out :)

Their website has provided the following tutorial:

This will be the first time I say YES to Caviar ;)

Motivation For the Gym!!

If you're anything like me, some days it seems like the hardest thing in THE WORLD is.... going to the gym. I don't know why it such a hassle sometimes because regardless of the situation, you ALWAYS feel amazing afterwards. Go figure.

Well here's a little motivation for this gorgeous Tuesday! Remember, Summer's almost here and you DONTwant to regret all you ate during your winter hibernation!




First day of Spring! (and blogging!)

Hi guys! My name is Stefy, 25-year old from the dirty Jersey!

So after reading like 465,9845 blogs, I decided to do one of my own. Why not? Ill share anything interesting that comes my way like fashion finds, trends, makeup tips, fitness tips and whatever else sparks my interest.

I'll use this as my outlet!

The Ambitious Fashionista... thats who I am.

My objective is to create a blog for like-minded girls all over the world to hang out and interact with each other. I hope to get the blog name out to as many women as possble and create awareness through word-of-mouth and other social media tools.

The type of person reading? Well she is ambitious, fashion-conscious and eager to learn ways to improve on their everyday fashion as well as bringing that fashion to the office, meetings, etc. A "dress for success" type of deal.

This is what I wore to work today:


Dress: Michael Kors Peplum dress (Originally $189, Marshalls for $39.99!!!) Shoes: Dolce Vita (Lord & Taylor sale $78) Forever 21 necklace for $7.99



Tip of the day: Look like a million bucks without actually spending it!

All in all, I would consider my blog to be an extension of my thoughts, style and beauty tips. My fashion girls hang out on sites such as fashionista.com, chictopia.com, etc. I will post and actively communicate with the girls while promoting my blog.

In a world where women are increasingly working in corprate america, it is essential that we do not lose our femininity and keep our style while climbing to the top!

On another note, I bought this weight-loss/cleansing product called Isagenix that some people SWEAR by. Since I am most definitely NOT at my ideal weight I went ahead and ordered a 30-day cleanse pack. My goal weight-loss would be 20lbs. The pack should be here sometime this week and I will let you guys know how it goes. with summer right around the corner, I know we are all freaking out about squeezing into that tiny bikini once again, I know I am.

If you are interested, I signed up to be an associate and sell the products as well. Go to www.stefyleon.isagenix.com and buy it through me. You can also become an associate as well and become part of my team which will not only help you make some extra cash but also save on the products themselves. Let me know what you think!
