Time for the first of three Stylish and Hungry trips to Murrysville. These aren’t new to me because I’ve had dinner (or my birthday lunch) here with Mr. Clougherty. Today’s S&H segment takes me to North Park Lounge. Next month will be Moe’s and then September takes me to Burgatory. I met up with Alvin,Continue reading “Stylish and Hungry #5: North Park Lounge”

Don’t forget it.”—Paula Mason “You’re my icon” and “Fashionable 💅 💄 4eva!”—Sara Newsom “Be You. The World Will Adjust.”— me “Keep being the wonderful, incredible, beautiful person you are.”— my cousin Emily Gaffron “BeautifulContinue reading “Shamed for my Definition of Style!!!”

Here’s my Stylish and Trendy Hat Trick. My third blog of the day. This blog is on fire 🔥. I ordered some tank tops (they’re more for layering but who’s keeping score) and another patterned top (because I loved the floral 🌹 tops I ordered a few weeks ago). I paired this pink tank withContinue reading “My Definition of Style”

Dana Mitnik is doing amazing work so far as our District 13 Historian. I’m really this look back at what our District used to be. There was even an original Greensburg club that predated our own. Now I learned that there was once a Jeannette Toastmasters club. Interesting. My home church, Cornerstone, is taking toContinue reading “Becoming a District”

I had my monthly dinner with Mr. Clougherty last night. It was a night market Thursday so we ventured out of the city a bit and decided on Moreland’s in South Greensburg. We ate there last August and were impressed with the service. I decided to try it again. It was one of my bestContinue reading “Stylish and Hungry #4: Morelands at Waterworks”

Tonight was a night a few years in the making because of the pandemic. It was also a night ten years in the making because of my longtime involvement in Toastmasters. For the first time since December 2019, our District had a big in person event. I arrived around 5pm and walked in with someContinue reading “A Celebration of District 13’s Best”

Recently, Area 24 not only had three Presidents’ Distinguished clubs but, with the addition of the new Laurel Highlands Toastmasters chapter, became a Presidents’ Distinguished Area. Way to go Nick for your leadership in the Area, all our club presidents for helping lead their clubs to success, and Dana Mitnik and Ryan Jacobs for gettingContinue reading “An Award for Traveling to Convention?”

At the request of my coworkers Maura and Ashley, I decided to do restaurant reviews in the Ligonier area. Today’s trip to the little Stars Hollow took me to El Vaquero Mexicano, a New Mexican restaurant in town two spots down from the Ligonier Creamery. I saw some one and two star reviews on theContinue reading “Stylish 👢 and Hungry 🌮 #3–El Vaquero Mexicana 🇲🇽”

Last week I ordered some floral tops 🌺 🌹 and styled them on Facebook and Instagram. I got plenty of likes from friends and family who are behind my fashion sense all the way. My mother and I had a debate over how I should style my shirts. She disagreed with me about tucking themContinue reading “I Found A Great Outfit For ULTA.”

Life is good in 2021. I have a good job I’ve thrived at for over ten years. I’m excelling in my Toastmasters journey. I obtained my Distinguished Toastmaster award, won the Spirit of Toastmasters award, and watched my home club earn Presidents’ Distinguished honors. I launched this blog in late 2019. It’s growing every dayContinue reading “Everyone Starts Somewhere”
