During this time off, Arnold is focusing on her recovery from her ankle injury, quality time with boyfriend Walker Lyons and collaborating with Swoon to make her own pink lemonade concoction. The beverage is non-alcoholic and sugar-free, which was developed with Arnold\u2019s journey with type 1 diabetes in mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI discovered their brand and they started sending me drinks and I was like, \u2018Whoa, these are actually really good.\u2019 So I told my manager that I would love to do something with that brand because it\u2019s obviously such a meaningful thing to me being a type 1 diabetic,\u201d she told <em>Us<\/em> of how the partnership came to be. \u201cI just thought it would be really cool to create a drink with them. So we started talking and then I made a pink lemonade, obviously, because pink is my favorite color and I love lemonade, and it\u2019s just a perfect drink because really diabetics only have diet sodas to drink [and] it is just kind of hard to have a sugary drink. It really just bumps up your sugar and will just make things hard for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued: \u201cSo when I was able to make a yummy lemonade that you can drink anytime, it won\u2019t mess up your glucose levels, I was just so happy.
