Welcome to 1 Day At A Time. I am Charisma and I do all the workouts, motivating, shopping, and adventuring that there is to do!
My story started 21 years ago in a small beach town in Florida. I grew up the youngest in my family with a home on the water and a heart for making others happy. My childhood was filled with all of the gymnastics, cheerleading, and dancing types of activities and sports. I love exercising because it doesn’t only make me look good but it helps me feel good too!
So, fitness is a big part of my life…I have loads of energy each day and try to give my best in all areas.
This is until I hit a pillow and then I immediately start snoozing… I love sleeping and catching up on my ZZZZZZZ’s.
Ok, enough of that…
One thing about me is that I have always been very good at staying on top of my work and being very manageable with my time. I was a little ahead in high school so I took the chance and doubled my school work intake. This led me to actually end up graduating with my Associates Degree from my community college before I received my high school diploma. I got my first two years of college completely free (and this saved a lot of my time)!
Next, I left to travel abroad for a year in July! I traveled with an organization called “Up with People”. It has been around for over 50 years now, with a mission to send a message of hope to each city that they visit.
This was a once in a lifetime experience…
For a year, I traveled with 100 people from 20 different countries. This means I have friends from all over the world such as Nepal, Iraq, Madagascar, Somalia, the U.K. and so much more. We traveled to a new city each week, volunteering, performing, and staying in host families

Sounds like a lot, right?
Well.. it was. Also, this opened my eyes more than anything and now I have so many different stories and knowledge to share…
After my year of travels, I got back to Florida and completed my studies at USF, earning a Psychology and Business degree. Although, my college years are up, I believe that we should all continuously strive to educate ourselves and work on personal development to keep our minds growing each day!
With my growing passion for personal development, I got certified as a coach, speaker and trainer and now help people just like you to overcome your limiting beliefs.
While attending USF in Tampa, I was surrounded by boba at every corner of the University area. Each time I visited family in Sarasota, I would begin to crave the drink more and more because it was something this town lacked. After 9 months of hard work and dedication, Me and my team have built Teas Days and the welcoming environment here in Gulf Gate, Sarasota. With the opening in June of 2019, I had a goal to make this cafe as exciting and bright as possible, welcoming all ages and creatives to the lounge, making it a safe space to have fun, network and create new memories. Each day new ideas are flowing in and the team stays open-minded to new flavors, events and collaborations.
Stop on by and give boba your first try here in Sarasota!
The real question is…why not read my blog?
This is my Lifestyle blog that will highlight my stories and knowledge of travel, personal development, health/fitness, beauty/fashion, and anything and everything in between!
My intentions are to inspire others to live the best life that they can at the moment. I am passionate about helping others improve their lives in the greatest yet most simple way possible.
Life can get overwhelming with all the things “to do”. This is why we can’t worry about tomorrow, but instead focus on the here and now and living 1 Day At A Time. I am going to be guiding others through my posts to feel better on the inside as well as the outside. You will eventually see for yourself that each of my posts will benefit you in some way (either a reminder or something you can take away with you). I constantly challenge my readers to progress themselves in different areas of life.
So if you are looking for a challenge to improve your life in all areas? You have come to the right place!
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together, one day at a time.”
I think that each person has their own story and you can learn something from everyone you meet. I am passionate about a large variety of topics and I want my blog to be a safe place for you. I hope to share some input with you, as well as get to know some of yours!
