2022 has seen plenty of downtime for this blog. For me it’s been a combination of not having motivation, lack of interesting content, and not enough time in the day. My interest in Duolingo, playing my Switch, and reading also taken my attention away. But not to worry, because I’m not giving up this blogContinue reading “The Future of the Blog”

You may have noticed the lack of content from the blog this year. However, that doesn’t mean I’m at all giving up on writing.

Mom needed candy for the piñata for Annabelle’s birthday party on Saturday, so she made a special trip to Candyland in Grantsville, Maryland.

One of them recommended watching Queer Eye and namedropped Jonathan Van Ness and Tan France, two of the show’s Fab 5. I just started watching the Netflix series lastContinue reading “I ❤️ Queer Eye 🏳️‍🌈 👁️”

I still don’t have my confidence up 100%, but I’m getting there. Beauty is about loving yourself, not caring about what others think. Everyone whoContinue reading “Living My Truth”

It’s been a while since I last posted on here. It’s been that kind of summer. Other than working a lot, I really haven’t done much besides stay at home, work on my Spanish with Duolingo, and take a few trips outside the house. Since leaving WIS, I don’t travel for work like I usedContinue reading “How I Spent My Summer Vacation”

This morning’s Stylish and Hungry segment takes me to a local Pittsburgh based establishment that’s fallen on hard times recently but still has a few locations that remain open. Hartley King opened his first store in 1967 in North Versailles as Kings Country Shoppes. This name was later changed to Kings Family Restaurants to indicateContinue reading “Stylish and Hungry 2022: Kings”

After last season’s success with this food blog, I decided to give it a go once again. Stylish and Hungry is back and better than ever for season two. I’ll review all kinds of restaurants from steakhouses to the family restaurants as well as the best spot for brunch. I’m hoping to try out theContinue reading “Stylish and Hungry 2022: Longhorn Steakhouse”

You’re askingContinue reading “Answering a Few Questions”
