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. ...

Gym Shark Review

Gym Shark is one of my new favorite workout brands that I am so excited to write about. I’ve always been a fan of Victoria’s Secret leggings, but found that they were not so great for working out or my budget.  I began hearing about the Gym Shark leggings and seeing people wearing them at the gym where I work, so I figured I’d give them a try.    I ordered a pair of the Fit leggings, which are all black with a black waistband. I was expecting the material of these leggings to be thicker like workout leggings usually are, but they are actually very breathable and thin but not see through. I love how these legging have a sticky lining on the waistband because this means they actually stay up while I run or lift. This is also helpful for holding my phone while I do lunges, so I can still listen to music. (the most important part of my workout routine.) The best part of these leggings I personally think is how they don’t have a crotch inseam, which i...

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...
