Wife to Andrew, Mama to Cataleya + Zeph, my Real Life Day Dream!

hey, I'm MELISSA

Where that beautiful little feather led me. The people I'd meet, the sets I'd work on (Wardrobe + Product Comm. + Ad Stylist), the experiences I'd have. I'm forever grateful for listening to the call in my heart. It lead me to work alongside names including SEPHORA, DR JART, KKW BEAUTY, SPANX, SHELL, CHOA, KIA, ELLEN, SYNOVUS, BRIDGESTON, OPRAH and more. 

Now, fast forward 1 year, to 2019, the true whirlwind. To a story of two people casually meeting at a dog park, exchanging IG accounts, becoming acquaintances for months, dating & moving in together after 2 weeks, marrying after 2 months and having their first child a year after being married. That's our story. The true story of us is now.

I started this blog as a way to reconnect socially and share my experiences. Since moving from CA to GA, in January of 2018 leaving everything behind, professional relationships, family, friends and starting my own family November 2019, I wanted a way to share my wonderful life with everyone back home as well as connect with my surrounding community.


I had no idea at the time... 

I was nearing the end of my college years from Cal State Northridge, working as a luxury handbag sales rep when I started to entertain the idea of moving somewhere. Anywhere. I was so inspired and tired of longing for fresh experiences. I began to search, to listen, to ask and with that, I believed that I could do anything.

After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Merchandise and Marketing, I rolled the dice and played my hand in the game of Life. I stepped out of my comfort zone and began freelancing in the Creative Advertise Industry. With 2 yrs. of experience and a lot of confidence, I stopped talking about my move and knew it was time to follow the signs guiding me South.

In 2 seconds I had figured out the logistics. The number 2 became a staple in my life story. I drove a total of 2 days across country with my adventure buddy (Dodge Challenger) as I called her and 2 weeks after my arrival, that I had researched and emailed the Top Stylists in my industry (Commercial + Ad Wardrobe Stylist) to land my first freelance job in the ATL. I was a feather in a whirlwind. I was devoted to listening and following the constant, gentle pull I felt in my soul. 

My Adventure began the moment I listened to the whisper & nudging in my heart. It said, "Atlanta, Georgia". 

I'm really happy your here!
