Inside Melly's Mind

We need to stop imposing what we want on other people.  I had a conversation with a friend the other day who, in a round about way, suggested that I'm boring.  Yes, I was in bed watching a documentary about Poundland - which is brilliant by the way - but their response of 'Lol, you need a holiday' really upset me. For a number of reasons.  First of all , you need to mind your own business.  You're not in a position to tell me what I need because you don't know enough about where I'm at.  Jobs aren't the same as careers. I cannot just abandon ship and let the company replace me. I am the company, at this moment in time. Leave people be.  There is nothing more insulting than 'you know what you need to do?' kind of people.  You can't take directions from people who've never been where you're headed.

Exciting news, everyone! Something that  I've been working on for a really long time is so so close to launching and I wanted to share more detail with you.

My go-to pattern is a good old-fashioned stripe but I couldn't resist this check shirt, when I saw it.

If you know me well, you'll know that I love brunch and now I've found my go-to choice. 

As far as spa days go, this has been my best experience by far.

It's time for my annual post on what lessons I'll be taking away from 2016...

I must admit, I read these kinds of posts and watch videos every year but I've always been too lazy to write my own. Well this year, I've just about pulled it out of the bag. If you're nosy like me, read on...

I've never had a personal stylist before, so this was a whole new experience for me. One that I plan to repeat. Paul at Burbo K'Ture is a great talent.
