 Hi friends! Thank you so much for coming back to my website. Summer arrived in Arizona back in March and ever since then, you can catch me anywhere near a body of water. Whether I’m hiking along Saguaro Lake, paddle boarding through Butcher Jones or just hanging in the pool at home, I am staying cool in the water. With my FreeStyle Libre 2 system, I’m able to better manage my glucose levels*†1,2,3 – even in the summer since the sensor is water resistant‡!

 Horseshoe Bend Hi. It’s me. Your Unofficial Miss Arizona. I’m reporting to you from my new favorite spot in Arizona: PAGE! I had the honor of being a guest of the Hyatt Place Lake Powell/Page and exploring the surrounding area. If you are looking for a true Arizona experience, keep reading to see why you must add this spot to your bucket list!
 Hello 2021!
One of the first orders of business this year was an online webinar with my friend Christel from DiabetesStrong.com.  In collaboration with 3wishes.com Halloween looks a little different this year but I decided to keep it classic.
When I hopped on to 3wishes.com, I thought I was going to pick a fun, girly costume like a sailor or a fairytale character.  *This post is in partnership with Crest. We could all use a smile right now
There are many many things going on in our world right now. We are living in unprecedented times. We aren’t sure what’s next but one thing is for sure, someone could always use a smile. As I shared in my previous blog post, I have partnered up with Crest to bring you savings and let you know all about Crest Gum Detoxify. Currently at Walgreens (through 6/26), if you purchase 2 Crest Gum Detoxify items, you will get $4 back in rewards! Savings bring a smile to my face but also Crest Gum Detoxify makes me feel confident that my smile shines bright and healthy!  *This post in in partnership with Crest. Hi friends! Long time no see! Honestly, I haven’t been feeling myself lately. I’ve been struggling while staying home. It’s been hard for me to adjust to the current normal and find the motivation to stay on track with work and other duties. None of us could have predicted what life would look like during this pandemic but regardless of what’s going on outside my home, I have taken a few small steps within my home to keep me smiling!
 2019 has come and gone! If I had to describe the year in one word I would say “growth.” Not only did my business grow, friendships grew, but I also dealt with many hard times in private that lead me to grow for the better. I had so many exciting moments and I am excited to look back at my top 5 favorite moments of 2019 with you. Here we go!
 *This post is brought to you in partnership with Phoenix Premium outlets. All opinions are my own. Hello fellow shoppers! I’m here to tell you about the amazing deals at my favorite outlet center in the valley: Phoenix Premium Outlets!
 This post was brought to you in partnership with MedAngel. All opinions are my own. BIG NEWS! You can now buy one of my favorite diabetes products through your FSA benefits! MedAngel ONE Wireless Thermometer Let’s talk! I am a full-time blogger/influencer. There can often be a stigma around the idea. I get it. It’s a new thing… well actually, it isn’t. The WORD “influencer” is new, but the concept of an influencer isn’t new. Before influencers were celebrities, food critics, people in power. Now people of any background can build their audience, build relationships and become influencers in their own right.
It seems like every time I check-in with a Crest update, I am heading or coming back from out of town. With my blog/Instagram, I am always traveling to new cities and meeting new people. My smile is my best asset! It is my business card! Thanks to Crest, I am prouder than ever to show it off!
Angie with her works of art.
I am SO excited about this post! I am going to be telling you all about the AMAZING Angie Crabtree! This woman has blown me away and I feel like the whole world needs to know about her. Ever since I found out about her, I have become her biggest fan! Any opportunity I get, I pull up her Instagram and show her masterpieces to my friends. She is the most talented person I know and she happens to live with 2 autoimmune diseases. She is a fellow person with diabetes but also lives with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I had the opportunity to talk with her over the phone and now I get to share what I learned!
 Last time we talked, I was on my way to Chicago and to meet with some of my diabuddies! I wanted to make sure my smile was looking nice and sparkly in person. For a few weeks at this point I’ve been using Crest 3D Artic Fresh White. Ever since my braces came off in high school, I’ve been confident in my smile but as of late, I’ve had an extra boost of confidence!
 Hi everyone! I’m back with another post with Crest! I’m actually headed off to Chicago in a few days and there will be lots of fun going on! Continue reading to find out what offers Crest has going on and where you can hang out with me in Chicago for St. Patty’s Day weekend!
 STOP, drop and roll! Oh wait, that’s what you do in case of a fire. Well I guess this deal is pretty hot! Now that Valentine’s Day has come and gone, there are still treats to be had! But this time, at Walgreens!
 Would you believe that ME, PALOMA, GLITTER GLUCOSE, MRS. ONLY WEARS DRESSES, MRS. DOESN’T WORK OUT, decided to go camping?! Not only did I go camping, but I went with 100 other people living with Type 1! Spoiler alert: I had the BEST time! Let me tell you all about it!
 WOW! What a year it has been! 2018 was a whirlwind. If I could replay 1 year of my life over again, it would be 2018. I want to share my top 5 moments of the year with you & I would love if you shared some of your best moments too! Cheers to 2019!
 Hi friends! Thanks so much for checking out the recipes I came up with for Healthline.com in September! They asked me to write another article for the holidays! CLICK HERE to read my article where I share my diabetes tips for thriving during the holidays!
 It may be the end of Diabetes Awareness Month but for those living with diabetes, we resume our regularly scheduled program. That includes the many pricks that help us manage diabetes and keep us healthy! But do you know what to do with all the needles, lancets, and other sharps after you use them? Those of us who use needles to manage our medical conditions know it is our responsibility to safely dispose of sharps, but we might lack clear, factual information on what we are really supposed to do. I’ve partnered with SafeNeedleDisposal.org, a website where individuals can get accurate guidance for their area instantly.
 On November 10th, I partnered with Dermalogica Scottsdale to put on a fabulous charity event benefitting Beyond Type 1! Beyond Type 1 is an organization close to my heart as they educate, advocate and are on the search for a cure for those living with Type 1 Diabetes! This event would NOT have been possible without the help of MANY MANY local Arizona businesses who donated their time and resources for this fun pop-up party! + huge thank you to all the attendees! I have highlighted all the wonderful people who made this possible and you can check out all the photos below!
 Hi everyone! It is National Diabetes Awareness Month! I have been living with diabetes for 5 1/2 years now! Thank you for following along on my blog for the past 2 years. If you are a regular visitor, you already know that here you will find me sharing personal stories, fashion tips, and product reviews. Today, not only do I want to shed light on MediPeds®, a brand focused on products that promote foot health especially in people with diabetes, but I want to share my personal story with diabetic neuropathy in my own feet. Thank you to MediPeds® for partnering with me to share my story + tips!
 Halloween has arrived! Yes, while Halloween time does mean candy, it doesn’t have to mean rotten teeth or high blood sugar! I am so excited to announce that for the next YEAR, I will be teaming up with Crest to promote healthy teeth and beautiful smiles! You can circle back monthly to see that month’s message from myself and Crest! First- let’s close out this month with some Halloween fun!
