Hey Loves!
Welcome to ‘Life’s Little Melodys’. I am so glad are here! I created this blog as an extension of my socials & to touch on a variety of topics that I love. Some of these will include:
- Healthy living & overall wellness. Holistic approaches & my fave products I use to reduce toxic load and have cleaner options for home, health, cosmetics/beauty options, your baby and more.
- Home decor, design & easy DIY projects. Whether that is flipping a piece of furniture, styling a room, applying shiplap- easy ways to make your home feel cozy!
- Affordable fashion for in and out of the office. How to make a few staple pieces work in multiple ways! Finding those super cute outfits that don’t break the bank. I’m a petite girlie myself, so I can help in that area as well!
- Sharing my photography and videography business, “Moments by Melody Nolan”. One of my most prized passions.
- Relatable Mom Life. Things for you during pregnancy, postpartum, your baby, and just daily living essentials to make your life so much easier- with a few laughs in between.
If those topics interest you, stick around! I cannot wait to share more and connect with you all. For a little background on me, keep reading 🙂
As you may already know, my name is Melody, hence the blog name! I’m currently 31 and from a small, southern town in South Carolina. I am married to my high school sweetheart, Tyler, and we have the most amazing rainbow baby boy, Tatum Miles- also known as ‘Tate’. Our furry friends include Miss Layla, or ‘purdy’, a little Maltese who has been through it all with us and our outdoors kitties, Pebbles & Dash (father + son). I love to eat yummy, healthy food, travel when we can, capture moments, move my body (whether that is strength training or a relaxing yoga session), being outdoors and spending time with family! Aside from the “blogging world”, I am an accountant and have been working at my current coop for 8+ years. I graduated from college Summa Cum Laude with a BBA in both Accounting and Marketing. Majoring in both seemed like an odd combo to many, but this diverse background it gave me the ability to start my accounting career, while also diving into my other interests that utilize my marketing side! Being able to see both the financial + creative side to things has allowed me to explore those passions and is what inspired my blog, and eventually Moments by Melody Nolan. (If you don’t know that story- read it on my business page- the ultimate challenge, that surprising turned into my beautiful business being born).
As far as businesses I am associated with, I am a consultant for Arbonne (a global health and wellness brand that has been around for 40 plus years!), Young Living (essential oils and nontoxic cleaners, personal products) and Green Compass (an amazing hemp wellness brand that quite literally saved me postpartum and still today). All of these companies’ products have made a great impact in switching over to a non-toxic lifestyle. I have all of those, along with my LikeToKnowIt where I share all of my finds, on my Linktree!
I feel as though in the last few years of blogging, my focus has shifted so much, just like we do as we go through different stages of our lives. Over the last few years, my content has molded as I have. As I continue to educate myself and do research, the more confident I feel in my choices, and it inspires me to share the things that have helped me navigate through so many seasons of my life. From my style evolving (both fashion & home wise), the products I choose to use daily on myself and in my home, the choices made for my child, my connection with you all on my miscarriage and what made me so passionate about birth and advocating for women/children, how to be satisfied with less, but make it feel like more. It’s all grown so much, and I am so thankful for you all following along as we grow together!
