Melanie Vallejo Instagram - Luna Grace Kingston rocketed into the world on the morning of the 12th... I’ve spent the last couple of weeks hibernating indoors, getting to know my precious daughter. Luna so far: eats like her mum (always ravenous), likes to bite (my poor nipples 😬) loves to sleep and poops like a trooper 👍🏼💩
And although Sonny undoubtedly loves his little sister he’s decided she’s “a bit too noisy I think” 💕

My darling Luna. My clever girl.
I didn’t think I could love anyone as much as my Sonny boy, yet here we are. (Now listen, I’m not playing favourites, but right now you have it all over your tantrum-filled almost 4 yr old stinky brother 😉)
You are smart and very funny, you love to smile at strangers - often holding out your hand to them (not great in this time of COVID but anyway 😷)
Fiercely independent and determined to keep up with your brother, I shouldn’t be surprised that you’re almost walking (!?!)
Look out world, this girl is going to move mountains 💫

Melanie Vallejo Instagram - Almost cooked #39weeks
Melanie Vallejo Instagram - My beautiful mum Anna passed away last November. She was 69. 

I am utterly devastated and also… ok. 

Mostly I’m fine because my brain accepts that death is a natural and essential part of life. At some point we all say goodbye to our parents -we just hope it’s not too soon. 

But my heart, oh my poor heart, physically aches when I think about living my life without her in it. 
I miss her. I miss her laugh. I miss her hugs.
She was the strongest, coolest, most brilliant woman I’d ever met. I loved her (obviously) but I also really, really, really liked her. Like, if she wasn’t my mum I’d totally want to hang out with her and be mates. She was the only person in the whole wide world I genuinely enjoyed talking to on the telephone. Which is lucky because living in different countries during the COVID lockdown years, FaceTime was our best friend. We talked every single day. Chatting about everything and nothing. Sharing secrets, laughing til we cried. 

Six months on I thought by now I’d have the words to express my grief.. but… it’s still too soon and the hole she has left in my heart is too big. And that’s okay. 

Grief is a strange beast but I’m learning to make friends with it. 

So for today I’ll remember her and thank her for making me the woman I am.

Thank you Mama, I love you.

And I’m sending love to all of you out there who find today tricky. 
Find someone to give you a good cuddle. If you see me, I’ll happily give you one xx

Melanie Vallejo Instagram - I’m finding myself wearing less and less make up these days. It could be because I have exactly 3.7 seconds to get ready in the morning (thanks Sonny)
It could also be because I’m feeling far more comfortable in my own skin (thanks late-thirties self confidence)
I’m happy to let my (so-called) imperfections shine through (oh hey fine lines 👋🏼)
So no filters. No tricks. Just great skincare that works. Aaaand mascara, because I’m not completely crazy you guys, mama needs lashes.

Melanie Vallejo Instagram - @thatsmsgaytoyou ! It’s your birthday!!! By golly I wish I was there to celebrate with you. For those of you not lucky enough to know this exceptional woman let me say a few words...
.
How does one sum up the great Virginia Gay?
.
She is funny. REALLY funny. Side-splitting-wee-your-pants-please-stop-because-I’m-crying-and-my-make up-is-running-funny. She’s extremely kind and generous to a fault- with all things- her time, her love AND her comedy.
Did I mention she’s also got the smarts? I like to call her my most talented friend. (And I have some very talented friends)
She is fiercely loyal and trustworthy (please hold my tiny child) yet also happens to be the outrageous life of the party “let’s order one of everything” mischief instigator.
She’s the kind of friend who’ll cross the Brooklyn bridge for you at 4 in the morning. Twice. (true story)
She makes everyone around her feel included, loved and safe. She’s a superstar in every sense of the word.
Happy birthday you gorgeous creature. .
*the first pic was taken at my wedding and is one of my faves. Our body language here speaks volumes about our friendship...💕*

Melanie Vallejo Instagram - It was my 40th birthday yesterday 🎈
I spent it with my little family, hanging at home in the sunshine. There was champagne, homemade banana cake, lobster pasta (😋) and lots of birthday cuddles. Despite feeling sick with a very annoying cold, it was perfect. Thank you @matkingston, for everything 😘 #thisis40 #letspartylaterwhenwearenotsotired 😴

Melanie Vallejo Instagram - HMD to all the mums out there but especially to this one, my darling @annarosaankara.
.
Quite simply, WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE EACH OTHER
I especially love that we say this to each other on a regular basis. .
Sending you my unconditional love and eternal gratitude 💖
.
Ps. You’re not bad for an old cheese 🧀 (another thing we say on a regular basis)
Melanie Vallejo Instagram - #oldheadshotday
When was this photo taken? Who took it? I have no idea. What I can tell you is that I used this photo waaaaay longer than I should have. 
Ps. I hate head shots.
Melanie Vallejo Instagram - 39 and feelin’ fine 🌸🍰🥂
Melanie Vallejo Instagram - Happy Saturday from my little family to yours 🥰
Melanie Vallejo Instagram - Eight excellent years married to this joker 🥂💕
Melanie Vallejo Instagram - If your cafe has great food & coffee, sure, I’ll frequent you.
But if you have a kids section complete with toys AND tiny tables & chairs? 
Shut up and take all my money.
Melanie Vallejo Instagram - 3 today 🎈🎈🎈
Things I’d like to remember about you at three...
You’re either running at full pace or you’re asleep. (I have a collection of your incident reports from daycare posted to the fridge 🤕)
You pronounce your “t”s as “f”s (this is particularly brilliant given your love of fire trucks)
You laugh heartily and easily.
You LOVE the beach, bubbles, climbing, jumping, spinning, the sky tower, butterflies, Tui’s, the Hulk’s muscles, Albie the neighbours cat and the occasional almond croissant.
Your favourite movie is a toss up between Toy Story 2 and 3. You think Woody is a “good guy” and Buzz is “so cool!” especially when he’s “Spanish Buzz”
Even though I liken you to a mini tornado, you are kind and gentle and hate when anyone is upset.
You can polish off an entire pizza and most of mum and dads pasta. 
You’re very excited about becoming a big brother and will often say “I won’t hit her” which is reassuring 😂
You give great squeezie hugs and kisses on the lips.
Happy birthday, my sweet boy 🥰
Melanie Vallejo Instagram - Skin by Ecostore launches in Australia today!
I'm so excited to be the face and proud ambassador for this beautiful natural skin care brand from NZ. 
The campaign, called #thisisme is awesome for a number of reasons:
Firstly, alongside babes @brookiechook and @emmahawkins_  we went totally make up free! Quite an anomaly given the current obsession with filters and apps that erase your flaws* Posing bare faced felt refreshing and empowering!
Secondly, I adore the sentiment behind the campaign- encouraging women to embrace their imperfections, to confidently stand in front of the mirror and say "This is me, this is my skin".
Finally, I really respect these guys as a company. From their commitment to environmental sustainability, use of 100% recyclable packaging, to being cruelty free and of course developing skincare that works!
I'm thrilled to be working with them.
So stay tuned for more info on the products including my favs....
In the meantime check out @skinbyecostoreau .
*and just for the record, wrinkles are not flaws

Melanie Vallejo Instagram - All winter long I’ve been combatting dryness by slathering on @skinbyecostoreau’s multi-nutrient facial oil followed by the hydrating moisturiser, and on particularly cold days I use the replenishing night cream (luxuriously creamy) but enough is enough - I want to come out of hibernation, feel the sun on my skin and soak up some much needed vitamin D. 
So bye winter, you’ve been lovely but I’m over you. My skin and I are ready for summer ☀️😎

I’ve spent the last couple of weeks hibernating indoors, getting to know my precious daughter. Luna so far: eats like her mum (always ravenous), likes to bite (my poor nipples 😬) loves to sleep and poops like a trooper 👍🏼💩
And although Sonny undoubtedly loves his little sister he’s decided she’s “a bit too noisy I think” 💕

My darling Luna. My clever girl.
I didn’t think I could love anyone as much as my Sonny boy, yet here we are. (Now listen, I’m not playing favourites, but right now you have it all over your tantrum-filled almost 4 yr old stinky brother 😉)
You are smart and very funny, you love to smile at strangers - often holding out your hand to them (not great in this time of COVID but anyway 😷)
Fiercely independent and determined to keep up with your brother, I shouldn’t be surprised that you’re almost walking (!?!)
Look out world, this girl is going to move mountains 💫

Melanie Vallejo - 7.7K Likes - My beautiful mum Anna passed away last November. She was 69. 

I am utterly devastated and also… ok. 

Mostly I’m fine because my brain accepts that death is a natural and essential part of life. At some point we all say goodbye to our parents -we just hope it’s not too soon. 

But my heart, oh my poor heart, physically aches when I think about living my life without her in it. 
I miss her. I miss her laugh. I miss her hugs.
She was the strongest, coolest, most brilliant woman I’d ever met. I loved her (obviously) but I also really, really, really liked her. Like, if she wasn’t my mum I’d totally want to hang out with her and be mates. She was the only person in the whole wide world I genuinely enjoyed talking to on the telephone. Which is lucky because living in different countries during the COVID lockdown years, FaceTime was our best friend. We talked every single day. Chatting about everything and nothing. Sharing secrets, laughing til we cried. 

Six months on I thought by now I’d have the words to express my grief.. but… it’s still too soon and the hole she has left in my heart is too big. And that’s okay. 

Grief is a strange beast but I’m learning to make friends with it. 

So for today I’ll remember her and thank her for making me the woman I am.

Thank you Mama, I love you.

And I’m sending love to all of you out there who find today tricky. 
Find someone to give you a good cuddle. If you see me, I’ll happily give you one xx

Six months on I thought by now I’d have the words to express my grief.. but… it’s still too soon and the hole she has left in my heart is too big. And that’s okay. 

Grief is a strange beast but I’m learning to make friends with it. 

So for today I’ll remember her and thank her for making me the woman I am.

Thank you Mama, I love you.

And I’m sending love to all of you out there who find today tricky. 
Find someone to give you a good cuddle. If you see me, I’ll happily give you one xx

Caption : My beautiful mum Anna passed away last November. She was 69. I am utterly devastated and also… ok. Mostly I’m fine because my brain accepts that death is a natural and essential part of life. At some point we all say goodbye to our parents -we just hope it’s not too soon. But my heart, oh my poor heart, physically aches when I think about living my life without her in it. I miss her. I miss her laugh. I miss her hugs. She was the strongest, coolest, most brilliant woman I’d ever met. I loved her (obviously) but I also really, really, really liked her. Like, if she wasn’t my mum I’d totally want to hang out with her and be mates. She was the only person in the whole wide world I genuinely enjoyed talking to on the telephone.

Melanie Vallejo - 6.7K Likes - I’m finding myself wearing less and less make up these days. It could be because I have exactly 3.7 seconds to get ready in the morning (thanks Sonny)
It could also be because I’m feeling far more comfortable in my own skin (thanks late-thirties self confidence)
I’m happy to let my (so-called) imperfections shine through (oh hey fine lines 👋🏼)
So no filters. No tricks. Just great skincare that works. Aaaand mascara, because I’m not completely crazy you guys, mama needs lashes.

Melanie Vallejo - 6.6K Likes - @thatsmsgaytoyou ! It’s your birthday!!! By golly I wish I was there to celebrate with you. For those of you not lucky enough to know this exceptional woman let me say a few words...
.
How does one sum up the great Virginia Gay?
.
She is funny. REALLY funny. Side-splitting-wee-your-pants-please-stop-because-I’m-crying-and-my-make up-is-running-funny. She’s extremely kind and generous to a fault- with all things- her time, her love AND her comedy.
Did I mention she’s also got the smarts? I like to call her my most talented friend. (And I have some very talented friends)
She is fiercely loyal and trustworthy (please hold my tiny child) yet also happens to be the outrageous life of the party “let’s order one of everything” mischief instigator.
She’s the kind of friend who’ll cross the Brooklyn bridge for you at 4 in the morning. Twice. (true story)
She makes everyone around her feel included, loved and safe. She’s a superstar in every sense of the word.
Happy birthday you gorgeous creature. .
*the first pic was taken at my wedding and is one of my faves. Our body language here speaks volumes about our friendship...💕*

Caption : @thatsmsgaytoyou ! It’s your birthday!!! By golly I wish I was there to celebrate with you. For those of you not lucky enough to know this exceptional woman let me say a few words… . How does one sum up the great Virginia Gay? . She is funny. REALLY funny. Side-splitting-wee-your-pants-please-stop-because-I’m-crying-and-my-make up-is-running-funny. She’s extremely kind and generous to a fault- with all things- her time, her love AND her comedy. Did I mention she’s also got the smarts? I like to call her my most talented friend. (And I have some very talented friends) She is fiercely loyal and trustworthy (please hold my tiny child) yet also happens to be the outrageous life of the party “let’s order one of everything” mischief instigator. She’s the kind of friend who’ll cross the Brooklyn bridge for you at 4 in the morning. Twice. (true story) She makes everyone around her feel included, loved and safe.

I spent it with my little family, hanging at home in the sunshine. There was champagne, homemade banana cake, lobster pasta (😋) and lots of birthday cuddles. Despite feeling sick with a very annoying cold, it was perfect. Thank you @matkingston, for everything 😘 #thisis40 #letspartylaterwhenwearenotsotired 😴

Melanie Vallejo - 3.9K Likes - 3 today 🎈🎈🎈
Things I’d like to remember about you at three...
You’re either running at full pace or you’re asleep. (I have a collection of your incident reports from daycare posted to the fridge 🤕)
You pronounce your “t”s as “f”s (this is particularly brilliant given your love of fire trucks)
You laugh heartily and easily.
You LOVE the beach, bubbles, climbing, jumping, spinning, the sky tower, butterflies, Tui’s, the Hulk’s muscles, Albie the neighbours cat and the occasional almond croissant.
Your favourite movie is a toss up between Toy Story 2 and 3. You think Woody is a “good guy” and Buzz is “so cool!” especially when he’s “Spanish Buzz”
Even though I liken you to a mini tornado, you are kind and gentle and hate when anyone is upset.
You can polish off an entire pizza and most of mum and dads pasta. 
You’re very excited about becoming a big brother and will often say “I won’t hit her” which is reassuring 😂
You give great squeezie hugs and kisses on the lips.
Happy birthday, my sweet boy 🥰

Melanie Vallejo - 3.9K Likes - Skin by Ecostore launches in Australia today!
I'm so excited to be the face and proud ambassador for this beautiful natural skin care brand from NZ. 
The campaign, called #thisisme is awesome for a number of reasons:
Firstly, alongside babes @brookiechook and @emmahawkins_  we went totally make up free! Quite an anomaly given the current obsession with filters and apps that erase your flaws* Posing bare faced felt refreshing and empowering!
Secondly, I adore the sentiment behind the campaign- encouraging women to embrace their imperfections, to confidently stand in front of the mirror and say "This is me, this is my skin".
Finally, I really respect these guys as a company. From their commitment to environmental sustainability, use of 100% recyclable packaging, to being cruelty free and of course developing skincare that works!
I'm thrilled to be working with them.
So stay tuned for more info on the products including my favs....
In the meantime check out @skinbyecostoreau .
*and just for the record, wrinkles are not flaws

Caption : “The majority of Australia’s 50,000 practising professional artists and 600,000 creative industry workers will not be covered by stimulus measures announced to date, either because of their casual working arrangements, or because of their employers complex cash flows render them ineligible to access workers’ support on their behalf.” Don’t let freelancers (ARTISTS) fall through the cracks. To all professionals in the film, television, entertainment and arts world, join the challenge to post a photo of you in your job. The goal is to flood social media with our profession.

Melanie Vallejo - 3.5K Likes - All winter long I’ve been combatting dryness by slathering on @skinbyecostoreau’s multi-nutrient facial oil followed by the hydrating moisturiser, and on particularly cold days I use the replenishing night cream (luxuriously creamy) but enough is enough - I want to come out of hibernation, feel the sun on my skin and soak up some much needed vitamin D. 
So bye winter, you’ve been lovely but I’m over you. My skin and I are ready for summer ☀️😎
