About Me



Hi, I'm Abbi and welcome to my blog! I’m from Fort Wayne, Indiana and am 21 years old.  I am currently a senior in college and am working towards being a wellness coach and personal trainer, and am majoring in recreation administration.





The most important things in my life are my family, friends, wonderful boyfriend, and my faith. 











Another thing I should mention is that I have been a Type One Diabetic since I was 14.  The disease is a part of my everyday life, and although it has brought many challenges, I have learned about myself and grown so much because of it. People tend to assume that I can't have sugar or sweets because of my disease, but that isn't the case at all.  Over the years, I  have learned to find a balance between staying healthy and still enjoying my life. I guess that's the sweet spot, and how I came up with the name of my blog. 


Writing has always been a passion of mine, even when I was a little girl. I have always said that I wanted to start a blog, so here it is!  I am looking forward to sharing my experiences and advice about college, health and fitness, type one diabetes, wellness, and life.  I hope that through this, you can come away inspired and encouraged!

Follow your Heart

I absolutely love the saying “Follow your heart.” In fact, this quote is in my Instagram bio, as a reminder to myself and to others. Throughout my life, when I’ve had to make difficult decisions, I’ve always come back to this saying. Call it intuition or a gut feeling, but typically in my life my “gut feelings” have always been right. Fear is scary. I mean, it  is fear. It’s an emotion stemming from uncontrollable stress and anxiety. As human beings, we have settled on running away from fear at any cost. But I’m here to tell you that we are not meant to live in fear, but to live along side it. . Does that sound crazy to you? Just hear me out. No matter how much running you do to try to escape your fear, it’ll always be right there behind you. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s inevitable. Fear is  a constant. Instead of losing your mind trying to escape the emotion, learning to accept it and live with it will lead to truly overcoming fear. ...

December Favorites

I am so excited about this post because it is all about my current favorite things: fashion, beauty, books, ect.  Basically I am going to be sharing anything that actually made my life 100 times better in the past month. I personally love watching Youtube videos and reading blog posts about other people's favorites of the month, so I am excited to share my own. Fashion Patagonia Coat If you know me well, you know that I absolutely hate wearing coats. I just find them too bulky and most of the coats that I've tried are too short on me so whatever outfit I'm wearing peeks out from underneath and just does not look flattering. I tried on this coat when I was Christmas shopping with my mom and fell in love! It is the perfect thickness and is long enough to cover your whole body. I personally think it is super cute and neutral so it looks good with anything that you wear. Skin Care Green face wash I have tried so many c...

We Built Our First Home!! ♡

Hi everyone! Welcome back to my blog. It still feels so surreal to say Devin and I built our first home. WOW. In todays post I wanted to share a little bit about our building process and lessons we learned after building our house. Starting from the beginning, Devin and I originally looked around at houses we’d be interested in buying. All of the options near where we wanted to live were either way our of our price range, or way too much of a fixer upper than we were looking for.  We started to realize that finding a house was going to be harder than we anticipated.   Maybe we were being too picky, but we knew we both wanted to find someplace that we could see ourselves in for many years to come. We randomly found a lot for sale that was perfectly on the side of town we wanted to live, and we loved the homey feel of the neighborhood. We decided to go for it and signed the papers. One reason we felt good about building over buying was that we’d get to desi...
