Week One-Isagenix

I thought this week was going to be my hardest, but it was so easy! I wasn't ever hungry like I thought I would be. I have replaced my breakfast and my dinner with a shake and for lunch I have a small low calorie meal. I have only been drinking water and no "bad foods". I can't explain how good I feel and how much energy I have! I have surrounded myself with positive quotes and positive people. My boyfriend is also on the system and is my support system to the fullest. I did a cleanse day on day 6 and anticipated I was going to die, but I didn't and it was much easier than I thought. I am turning into a health freak! Everything I eat I look at and all I see is MSG and toxins! So up to date I've lost 10 pounds and 12.5 inches. I am sooo proud of myself. 





Thank you for all of your support, it's really needed :)

Isagenix.


Isagenix. Does it really work? 
Taking this step was scary. And to share it with the whole world is even scarier. I am in love with this new program. I have always struggled with my weight. I grew up with an overweight father and when we would have meals I was so terrified of him getting any bigger that I would eat everything on my plate, even if I wasn't hungry. I have also struggled with depression and with that comes comfort foods. This program not only transforms you, but you could earn money too! I invite you to join me in this journey of mine. I'll keep you up to date on my weight loss, inches loss, and my struggles.


My personal Isagenix Success Story is just one of the thousands of success stories shared by people who have experienced incredible results using Isagenix Systems. You can be confident that Isagenix is committed to your success by offering you the opportunity to live a healthy, clean, and lean lifestyle—and to create wealth while doing so.

Deck of Cards Valentines


This is by far my most favorite Valentine's idea! All you need to do is buy sheets of vellum (from any craft store) and print card related sayings like in the picture. Then fold the vellum into an envelope and seal with a sticker! Perfect for Vegas!

Introducing Couponing

This is a great article on couponing!

Introducing Coupons

There are two different types of coupons. The most common type of coupon is a manufacturer’s coupon. These coupons are released by the actual producer of the product. The companies release these to encourage consumers to purchase their products. The second type of coupon is a called a store coupon. These are coupon issued by a particular retailer, valid only at that specific retailer. A store coupon will have wording similar to this: “Coupon valid only at Target” or “Walgreens Coupon”. Manufacturer’s coupons can be used anywhere that accepts coupons. Store coupons can be only used at that specific store.

Stores do get reimbursed by the manufacturer’s when we use the manufacturer’s coupons. They also get an added ‘handling fee’ as a bonus. So please note, the store does not lose out on profit when coupons are redeemed, they actually make a couple of cents!

You can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item that you are purchasing. One thing to note is that most coupons have a bar code on them, and they will always have an expiration date.



Can I combine a manufacturer’s coupon with a store coupon?

Yes! You can combine a manufacturer’s coupon with a store coupon! This is called “stacking” coupons. In fact, this is probably the best way to save the most money possible. For example, let’s say that Walgreen's has a sale on razors, $4/pack. If you have a $1.50 off manufacturer’s coupon, that makes the price just $2.50. Even better, let’s say that Walgreen's issued a $1 off store coupon in their weekly ad. You can combine both coupons to drop the price even more, to $1.50! Just make sure that both coupons apply to the same specific product you are planning on purchasing.



Where to Find Coupons

Coupons.com is a great resource for printable coupons. You can also find coupons in-stores from ‘Blinkies’ (certain stores offer coupons in various isles). Coupons can also be found in Sunday newspaper inserts and magazines. Most of the time, companies will send you coupons via mail when you e-mail them asking for some. Best of all, most freebies you request come with a great high value coupon!



Things To Note & Couponing Tips

1. Don’t ever ‘copy’ a coupon. It is illegal, and is considered coupon fraud, which can lead to fines and possible jail time.
2. Find out if your local grocery store ‘doubles’ coupons. If so, you could save even more with your coupons!
3. Plan Ahead. View the weekly circular ads for the various stores you plan on shopping at during that week. That way you can try to match up coupons to sales to save even more! It’s better to use a coupon during a sale in comparison to when the product is at full price. You will save even more!
4. If you find a coupon for a product that you are not interested in, don’t cut it out (or print it out).
5. Always check the clearance section. Often times you can find a product with a heavy discount. Even better, if you have a coupon for that product, it can lead to free (or close to free)!
6. Price match at Walmart. Walmart allows ‘pricematching’, meaning if you bring in the ad of a competitors store, they will match the sale price of that particular product.



Store Coupon Policies

It’s always a good idea to print out a copy of the store coupon policies just in case you get a new cashier that doesn’t want to accept your coupons. (I also have an aisle list for which product is on which aisle). I’ve compiled a list of some of the major retailers’ couponing policies for your convenience!
