Melificent

Thank You

I just wanted to extend a huge virtual hug to all the lovely people that left me sweet comments on the blog, Facebook and Twitter about my decision to take a hiatus. I really appreciate everyone’s support of Melificent! Although I am currently working on some new endeavors that will bring me back into the blogosphere in one way or another, you can catch me over on Instagram. I’ll be showcasing my outfits in a different way over there & hope I can continue to provide some fun & joy over the Interwebs.

I hope to be able to announce 1 of the 2 new projects by the summer months (I’m aiming for July)!

Farewell For Now

After 3 years in the blogosphere, the time has come to step away from Melificent.

This is not a permanent goodbye (I don’t like those), but a hiatus of sorts. This has been an undertaking for me, mainly because I do not like to do things half way. I wanted to post daily, with original content, about things I enjoy. I wanted to be real – I didn’t want to portray a persona and I wanted it to be fun. I did this despite having a full time job that I LOVE, but nonetheless takes up a lot of my time.

I loved every second. Although, now 3 years later, I am a little disillusioned. I love all the relationships I made through this blog, and hope I can find another venture (whether it be this blog re-imagined, another blog or something completely different) that will leave some sort of mark.

Until we meet again….

& I’m Off!

I’m leaving on a jet plane today to visit one of our bestest friends who moved to Richmond, VA nearly one year ago! We miss him a whole lot and can’t wait to spend time with him in his new city AND visit Washington D.C. just in time for the Cherry Blossom Festival! If you follow me on Instagram, look out for all the pretty pictures that will surely flood my stream.

Until then,

Very Inspiring Blogger Award

I was so beyond flattered and surprised to get an email from Emma of Clementine & Lace saying that she had nominated me for a Very Inspiring Blogger Award. How sweet is that??? I never think anyone is reading this blog (I’m my own worst critic), so it’s always nice to receive little special reminders that I may be wrong. But what I loved the most was getting to know new bloggers that quickly got added to my favorite list! Below are the rules and my nominees. Thanks again, Emma! You are a sweetheart. 🙂

Guys.

It happened. I passed my test. Finally.


This is why I will be MIA this week. I’ve been celebrating nonstop – it feels really special when I can’t even count the amount of people that want to take me out to do just that on one hand. It’s been an amazing few days, so I just wanted to pop in to let you all know what’s been going on, and of course, to share my excitement.

Guys, never give up if you really want something.
I can’t stress that enough. You will have to work hard & sacrifice a lot, but it will be worth it.
