Fitbit | 7-15-14 ♡


Hello everyone! 
Welcome back to my blog!
This blog post will be all about the Fitbit!
Fitbit is a product that I feel helped jump start my fitness journey!
So, I am going to share everything that I know about it with you!

There are a few different types of Fitbits, but 
the Fitbit I am going to be telling you about today is the
Fitbit Flex! You can purchase it here!




The Fitbit Flex is a wireless activity and sleep tracker.
The tracker goes inside one of the Fitbit wristbands (pictured above)
When you purchase the Fitbit, it will include: the tracker, a charger, a wireless sync dongle, and a SM & LG wristband.
Here is a sizing guide!
Once you decide which wristband fits you the BEST, you will insert the tracker and 
follow along with the "set-up" instructions.

The Fitbit Flex is compatible with the following devices:

Personally, I use my iPhone 4S to sync with my Fitbit Flex.
It syncs wirelessly through bluetooth.

Now that you know where to purchase your Fitbit and 
how to set it up
I will tell you what it does!

The Fitbit Flex will track your steps, distance, calories burned,
and active minutes.
LED lights on your Fitbit will show your progress towards your goal.
It monitors your sleep and is able to wake you up with a silent alarm.
You can wear it 24/7 (although you may want to charge it once a week),
and it is waterproof so you can even wear it in the shower or while doing dishes!

The Fitbit Flex comes in a numerous amount of different colors!



This is MY Fitbit Flex!


Another feature that the Fitbit has is the ability to add friends!
Adding friends on Fitbit will allow you to compete for the top spot on the leader board!
As you and your friends are trying to get to the top of the leader board,
Fitbit allows you to cheer, taunt, and send messages to friends.

Overall, Fitbit is definitely a product that I would recommend.
I don't know what I would do without it!
It keeps me encouraged to get moving and it makes fitness FUN!

Before I end my blog post,
I would like to tell you about ONE more product that I LOVE and
would never leave the house without....and that is the Bitbelt!


The Bitbelt is a band that protects your Fitbit from falling off.
Although it has never happened to me, I have heard
numerous people say that their Fitbit has popped open and fallen off their wrist.
The Bitbelt helps to keep that from happening!
For only $5.99 each, I think that is a GREAT deal, and would
definitely buy one if you are thinking of getting a Fitbit Flex!
They come in lots of different colors too!


So, that is my review on the Fitbit Flex and the Bitbelt!
I hope I provided enough information and helped some of you learn more
about these products! I am not being paid to talk about either product.
This is my own personal opinion.
If you have any further questions, feel free to leave a comment!

I hope you enjoyed this reading this blog post,
and I will talk to you all again soon!

Get To Know Me | 7-15-14 ♡


Hello! I'm Larraine Denise a.k.a The Fitness Fashionista! 
Welcome to my blog!
For my first blog post, I decided to tell you all a little about myself:
I am 22 years old. I am a sophomore in college. I am getting my degree in Elementary Education.
My dream is to become a 1st grade teacher!
I love spending time with my family! 
I am a Christian.
In my free time, you will usually find me shopping, at Starbucks, or
watching my two current obsessions: Law & Order: SVU and Orange Is The New Black.

Now that you know a little about my personal life, I will tell you about the fitness part of my life!
I have not always been into fitness the way I am now.
I was the girl who would hide in gym class or "forget" my gym shoes
so that I wouldn't have to participate in class.
But recently, (about three months ago), fitness became a BIG part of my life!
I started realizing I wasn't happy with the way I looked,
I always felt self-conscious, 
I never liked the pictures people would take of me, etc...
So, around April 2014 I decided to make a change.

I created a Fitness Instagram to keep myself motivated:
I also invested in a product called "FitBit"!
FitBit is a fitness/activity tracker that you wear and it will
track your steps, calories, active minutes, etc.
(I will have a separate blog post about everything "FitBit" in the future,
so be sure to look out for that!)
Anyways, because I created a Fitness Instagram,
I began to follow people who inspired me which made me 
start going to the gym every week and trying to eat healthier!

Now, my health and fitness have never been better!
I am currently doing a 24 Day Challenge with a company called Advocare!
(I can do a separate blog post about Advocare as well), but as an overview of what it is,
I basically follow a meal and workout plan and use Advocare's products.
I am ABSOLUTELY LOVING Advocare! 
I am currently on Day 9, and I have great results already!
If I continue to have AMAZING results,
I am seriously considering becoming an Advocare Advisor,
(we will see..)! I would love to share these awesome products and
help people see the results that I am seeing!

Well, that's all for now! I hope you have enjoyed reading my first blog post! 
I will try to post daily so keep a look out for my next post!!

Talk to you all again soon!
