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!

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...

2020 Feburary Obsessions

Hi guys, welcome back to my blog! Today I just thought I'd share all my favorites from the month of February! I've been discovering a ton of new items lately, and just wanted to share what I've been loving. I will have everything linked so you can check it out yourself, as well! TV Show: Castle Rock First, I want to mention the tv show castle rock. I'm a huge fan of horror movies but it's nice to take a break and watch a tv show when you don't have time for an entire movie. My boyfriend and I have been loving this show, it's about a small town and the murders that have happened there. I definitely recommend if you love thrillers! Behind Closed Doors book Next on the list, is the book Behind Closed Doors. Again, I'm clearly a fan of thrillers so this a great book to read if you want something that is going to creep you out. I am a fast reader so it normally takes me about a week to read a book, but this one was SO good I finished it...

Starting a Fitness Routine

With the start of Fall comes a new school year and new routines. I work at a gym, and typically this time of year we get a lot of new members wanting to start their fitness journey. We all have been there and get ourselves all hyped up for a week… and then we end up losing our fitness streak. Then we must start over, back to square one. I'm here to share some tips on how to KEEP that streak going and ways to stay motivated!   Do what works for your schedule The number one mistake that people tend to make is plan to workout hard 7 days a week only to burn out after day 2 and eventually give up. If you work a full-time job or are in school, realistically you will not have the time to workout every single day. Simply take a look at your schedule and pick the days that work best for you, even if it's just twice a week, that's better than not going at all! Plan it out When you have no idea what you are going to do at the gym, or have no idea how to use any equipmen...
