Meet Mel

Welcome to my little corner of the Internet!

Hi, I’m Mel. Mel is short for Melody by the way.

I am a self taught blogger and amateur photographer from Houston, Texas.  Born in Kingwood and raised in Katy to be exact. I currently reside in the Galleria area. You can find me shopping at Nordstrom, picking up groceries at Whole Foods, or brunching on the North Patio. I have a B.S. in Nutritional Sciences from The University of Texas at Austin and I worked as a food service manager for 2 years. I left food for a brief stent in the legal food as an administrative assistant, but I couldn’t escape my foodie background. Thus Meals with Mel was born. Currently, I’m a full time marketing professional! Click here if you are interested in hiring me for free lance work.

This blog started as “Meals with Mel” back in 2017 and has blossomed into so much more! I created “Musing with Mel” because I am multi-facted and I came to the conclusion that I wanted to share more than just meals with you all.

Moods

I write about whatever mood I’m feeling. Moods can include everything from beauty to fitness. It’s really just a way to express content to you in different ways and share all of my creativity, no matter what the subject.

Meals

From recipes to food and restaurant reviews. Don’t worry, there will still be a lot of food around Musing with Mel. Food has always been my first love. I’m obsessed with quality ingredients, trying the latest restaurant, or making the latest food trend come alive in my kitchen.

Spoiler Alert: I’m a black woman. I’m proud of who I am and who I’m becoming. It’s important that I carve out a special space for all my black queens because we haven’t always had one and our representation in the blogging community often get’s lost. So I’m here, adding to the black girl magic! Talking hair to skincare to struggles.
