Changes Changes Changes… From the City to the Burbs…

Justin and I decided to leave our home in the city and purchase a home about 28-30 minutes outside of Manhattan. We had been looking for a long time (couple of years on and off) and had not found the right home for us. Having bought homes before, we knew that when you walk into the house, you are supposed to get that feeling like “yes, this is it”. There is a certain type of energy you get from a home when you find “the one”.

I founded GiaMel to be a lifestyle playbook that inspires and empowers you to look, feel, and perform your very best in every aspect of life.

Through the GiaMel blog, newsletter, and social media, I will cover everything from fashion, beauty, and travel, to career, relationships, and parenthood. I hope this content and community inspires you with the motivation and confidence you need to lead, live, and look well. One of my favorite parts of this site is the Inspiration page. For years, I have collected images, videos, and quotes that have inspired me, and now I have a place where I can share them with you!

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback about the site and topics you would like me to write on. Please feel free to reach out to me at melissa@giamel.com.

A big thank you to my family and friends, especially my husband Justin, who keep me going everyday! I would not be where I am today without your love and endless support! And mom, this all started with you. I am forever grateful.
