Things I Love: Angie Minges — Sophisticated St. Louis

Angie Minges was elected as the 106th president of the Missouri Athletic Club in January. That’s noteworthy because she’s the first woman elected president of the 118-year-old club. Her one-year term begins in May. Angie works in Strategic Planning at Nestle Purina and has been a member of the MAC since 2015. She previously served a stint as the chair of the MAC women's initiative group and is on United Way's Women's Leadership Society Cabinet. The Mizzou marketing and communications major also has an MBA from Washington University. An avid sports fan, Angie can be seen around St. Louis cheering on her hometown teams.

Things Angie Loves:

Café Napoli - LINGUINE BOLOGNESE with a bottle of Brunello

Café Napoli in Clayton is my go-to spot for family dinner and girls’ night out. The food and wine selections are absolutely amazing but I always have the spaghetti and meatballs for dinner! The meat sauce has depth and so much flavor. The cream sauce is velvety and of course, the meatball makes the dish. It’s the best!! @napolistl

Missouri Athletic Club 1903 Bar – Pomegranate Blackberry Mule

John, the bartender at the West Clubhouse, makes a fabulous craft cocktail – the Pomegranate Blackberry Mule complete with garnishes. The berries are hand muddled with fresh fruit! The lime juice also is fresh and the ginger beer and vodka are cold. That and an order of crisp french fries makes the perfect happy hour combination for me. Even better is enjoying this in the outdoor seating. @macstlouis

Mario Badescu – Vitamin A-D-E neck cream

This has to be one of the best beauty product bargains I have found! It’s only $20! It is rich and moisture-intensive and helps firm and smooth. I use it day and night. The whole line has great products at affordable prices. @mariobadescu

Forest Park

I work at Nestle Purina and our pet welfare programs are near and dear to me. So, it is no surprise that I have two rescue dogs: Grace Kelly and Henry! I love taking them to Forest Park for long walks on the weekend. I used to live in Manhattan and loved walking the dogs through Central Park. I have to say though, I am partial to my hometown park. What a treasure we have here in St. Louis! @forestparkforever

Every year, I choose a mantra and develop my top five goals for the year. This year's mantra is "Be Uncomfortable". I honestly believe the only way to grow is to get out of your comfort zone!
