Hello there!
It is currently the final weeks of 2020 so what better way to round-out this shit show of a year, then to create a blog. Do people even read blogs anymore? I don’t know the answer to that, all I know is that I needed a platform to write some words on topics that I have a view on, or can speak from experience, so I hope you are able to gain something from this venture.
My name is Mel (middle name, Chantelle- and there we have the blog name). I am a 30 something originally hailing from Melbourne, Australia but I now live in London. I moved here almost 4 years ago now and live in south west London with my boyfriend of over two years.
I work in Marketing which I somewhat fell into. My degree at university was in Public Relations (I wish I could say that my choice of degree here was not entirely inspired by Samatha from Sex and the City. But we are where we are…) which I absolutely loved. So much so that I graduated within the top of the year. The hard work and dedication was getting me well on the path of what I was working hard for, to hold a role in corporate affairs for a top company. But all of that took a turn when in 2017 I decided to pack everything up and follow my sister and her family to give life in the UK a go, and I have never looked back.
I hope you enjoy reading some of these pieces that I will be adding to this blog. Please feel free to reach out to me either on my email address which is melchantlblog@gmail.com or on socials to be part of the conversation.
Happy reading!
Mel x
