Greetings from Cleveland! I’m Alicia – the happy blogger over at Poise in Parma. That’s where you can find my ramblings on my search for that elusive “healthy balance” in the Northeast Ohio area.
But you probably want to know more, huh? Well, I could tell you all about:
…how I lost over 110 pounds.
…how I was featured in a national women’s publication.
…how I ran my first half-marathon.
…or how I took control over my anxiety that was owning me.
But instead, I much rather tell you all about my life, my job, my blog and my dog:
MY LIFE: My husband Hans and I have lived in the Northeast Ohio area our entire lives. We know this crazy town inside and out, but are still finding fantastic gems hidden all over. From 5Ks to food and wine events, from cruising around in a Chevy to cheering on our local sports teams – you never know where we’ll be next!
MY JOB: Cleveland has developed the status of a culinary hot spot in America in the past few years. I am lucky enough to have a job where I am honed into our thriving restaurant scene. Feel free to ask me about the time I met Iron Chef Michael Symon…
MY BLOG: When I started Poise in Parma, I was looking for an outlet for my writing outside my professional duties. In addition, I’ve met amazing people in our blogging community. I serve as the Ohio Blogging Association’s Cleveland Chapter President (AKA the self-proclaimed queen of CLE blogger meetups), helping to bring bloggers from all over our great state together to share the love.
MY DOG: …and then there’s this guy:
The PIP Vice President of Fuzz – or Grady as he’s more affectionately known – helps remind us to be happy, be healthy and just be. Plus, he makes a pretty good sous-chef!
So once you’re done running those 3.1 miles, come on over for some bacon and potato pierogies. Wait, you don’t know what PIEROGIES are?! We gotta get you all to Cleveland STAT!
Poise in Parma can also be found on Facebook and Twitter. “Likes” and follows are always appreciated!

Chef Symon… I have a major crush. Promise if I get there in September we can eat at Lola’s together?
Grew up in Parma Hts. – and know the whole area has changed dramatically over the years. But ask me about the business at The Whip when I was a little tyke…
