January 2, 2018 Melissa LuVisi
2018NewYear

For those of you who have been reading along for the last three years you’ve seen some ups, some downs and a lot of quiet space. Thank you for your patience! I promise you there is a lot to look forward to in the New Year! For starters, I leave for the Philippines in a few days!!! If you’ve been following my instagram stories you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been adventuring to S.F. a lot more this year and familiarizing myself with their art market. There’s going to be copious amounts art + travel in the New Year with a sprinkling of wellness.

What would your inner rockstar look like? How would you dress if everyday you put your best foot forward? These are the questions fluttering around my head recently as I contemplate what my rebrand is going to look like and how I want to move forward into the new year.

Marrakech Riad

Turning 30 made me acutely more aware of my skincare practices. As a single lady who is dating, it takes one late night of indulgences to wake-up looking like the crypt keeper.

Traveling from LA on a business trip I had a run-in with my very first Match.com date. AWKWARD. Dating Tip of the week: Never vape on the first date! We all have our vices but it’s terrible idea to lead with them.  So, vape master, and I got to talking. He was on his way back from South America which prompted me to share about my impending trip to Morocco. It was a typical traveling pissing contest between two people that never actually dated.

Out of nowhere, this model like creature, floats across the airport at the mention of Marrakech. She was an entrepreneur from Portland who travels there frequently. Her and I quickly became Facebook friends before boarding our respective flights.....
